“Dennis was a great help and carried out all his pet sitting responsibilities perfectly, along with regular updates. I recommend Dennis for his services and I will be contacting him again whenever I need pet sitting help.”

“Rebecca is professional and absolutely knows what she’s doing when it comes to dogs or puppies. My 3 months old Belgian Malinois got comfortable with her right away. Rebecca checked in and than provided an update and pictures once she was done with the drop off. I absolutely recommend Rebecca and hoping she will be available be next time I will be looking for a sitter to drop in or watch charm.”

About: I've lived around and cared for pets my whole life and what I've found is important is that the pet knows that I respect them just as much as I ask for respect in return. I love all kinds of animals, including the non-fuzzy critters! I'm not opposed to a bit of a grimy situation to help out a pet and keep them healthy, and I'm okay with special needs like medication so long as you show me how you and your pet have that routine worked out! I hope you would consider me for the honour of caring for your pets and would love to meet you and your little (or not so little) family member one day! I'm not currently otherwise working so I have time to spare, however I do have 2 cats of my own, so as long as I can go home for an hour or two every day or two I would be okay (during multiple day care requests only) Your home is like a museum; unless directly told to, I won't touch it. I will leave the place in the exact condition I found it or better! Your pet will be well cared for as they will be my sole focus in your home, and when I'm gone I won't leave a trace!
“Britney has saved my butt on two occasions where I couldn't get care for my puppy and I was at work. They offered to do a Meet & Greet which was a really great way to get introduced and comfortable with having a stranger in the house. Thankful doesn't begin cover it!”

“Olivia was so incredible with our pup, Letty. It put our mind at ease that Olivia was dropping in to visit Letty twice. She kept us updated and followed instructions really well. Based on the photos we received, we could tell that Letty really enjoyed her time with Olivia. I have no doubt that we will contact Olivia in the near future to help us again. Thanks Olivia!”

About: Hi! I’m Polly. I’m an experienced dog walker and a photographer who loves animals of all kinds. I offer safe, structured, and fun walks tailored to your dog’s personality and energy level. I also have a friendly goldendoodle named Chester, and I’m always happy to do solo or paired walks depending on what your pup needs. Im a freelancer and can work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks throughout the day. I offer morning, midday, and afternoon walk times depending on your pup’s needs. For boarding, drop-off usually starts around 7:30–8:00 AM, but earlier drop-offs can be arranged for an additional fee. A boarding stay covers 24 hours — so if your dog is dropped off at 7 AM, pickup should be around 7–7:30 AM the next day. Later pickups can be arranged with an added fee. If you ever have questions about timing, scheduling, or availability, feel free to message me — I’m very flexible and happy to work around your needs. I know it can be stressful for a dog to be with someone new, so I always follow your normal routine — feeding schedule, walk style, cues, rules, and comfort items. Consistency helps dogs feel safe and understood. During walks, I use secure equipment, stay aware of triggers, and keep a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs. Your pup will never be let off leash unless you specifically request it and it’s in a safely enclosed area. For boarding, I provide a quiet, clean, and dog-friendly environment. Dogs are supervised, kept on their normal routines, and always have access to fresh water, comfy rest areas, and enrichment. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your dog is doing.
“This was the third time Amber has cared for our two cats while we were out of town, and once again, she did an amazing job. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind and showed just how well our cats were being looked after. It's always such a relief knowing they're in great hands — and coming home to happy, relaxed cats is the best feeling. We’ll definitely continue using Amber’s services and highly recommend her!”

“Sheila was fantastic watching my two cats during a week vacation. She responded promptly to my last-minute request and she took amazing care of them. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. I could vacation in peace knowing all was well back home. Couldnt have asked for a better sitter!”

“Jocelyn is great with my puppy. Right away I could tell my puppy would be in good hands with her when we met for a meet and greet, my puppy was instantly comfortable around her. She is caring and kind and takes good care of my puppy when she comes for a drop-in visit. Jocelyn responds quickly to requests and is great to work with.”

About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I started by looking after my frind’s dog for four years—feeding, bathing, and providing daily care. Later, I raised and trained my own dog from a puppy - training and caring for him for over two years before relocating. In Canada, I’ve continued caring for dogs, including my housemate’s shitzu, ensuring regular walks, feeding, and grooming whenever needed. I understand how to keep dogs comfortable, happy, and well cared for, whether for a short visit or extended boarding. Note: On Wednesdays for pet sitting at pet owner’s place, I can provide the service till 4.30pm only. I work from home with a hybrid 9-5 schedule, which makes boarding for small dogs and cats easy to provide. Since I’m home most of the day, I can ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available in the early mornings and evenings after work. I don’t drive, but I’m open to using public transit for nearby clients. If you prefer, you’re also welcome to drop off and pick up your pet for their stay or any other services; I’m flexible and happy to accommodate! My goal is to make pet care stress-free and enjoyable for both you and your furry friend. My house is safe and pet-friendly, providing a comfortable space for dogs to stay. You can rest assured that your dog will be well taken care of and feel at home while boarding with me.
About: I have owned many different pets over the years including dogs, cats and will treat your pet as if it is my own.

Leaving a pet can be very stressful and I will assure you that your pet has only the very best while they are with me. I will provide comfort and nourishment similar to what your pet gets from you. Daily walks can be expected, rain or shine. Your pet will be entertained from the time they arrive until they are ready to go home. Please feel free to bring any toys from home that your pet is attached to. I am currently retired and will be able to provide your pet with lots of play time and walks. We use the local dog park and will make sure your dog is comfortable with any dogs that may be at the dog park. I have access to a friendly dog walk and walk my dog 3 to 4 times a day which will include your dog. I will provide healthy indoor activities if the weather does not cooperate.
About: Being raised around pets my whole life and having many of my own pets in my adult life, I feel confident that I can give your pets all the same love and attention that I would give to my pets! My pets have always been my family and I will treat your pets the same. I am a huge lover of the outdoors and am happiest when I'm out walking, especially when I have dogs by my side, no matter what the weather is like! I have volunteered with animals in the past and feel comfortable with pets any size or energy level. I will do my absolute best to ensure your pets needs are met, no matter how big or small. I will also make sure to respect the owner's rules and make sure they are maintained. Photo updates so you can be sure your pets are happy and enjoying their time with me!
“Marybeth was wonderful with our senior cat while we were away. Great with communication both before our trip and during. We didn’t worry about Pete the cat at all knowing she was checking in on him! Will absolutely use her in the future and recommend to others!”

“I can't recommend Morgan enough. She was super helpful and friendly while helping workout a last minute sitting for my dog. Throughout the entire process Morgan was easy to talk to and incredibly helpful. Both my dog and my cat loved her, she sent lots of photos of them having a great time. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care.”
