Really can’t say enough good things about our experience with Andrea when she cared for our home and pets for a few weeks in October. Communication leading up to her stay was excellent and responsive which put us at ease leading up to the sit. While we were away Andrea did a great job of keeping us updated and providing photos of our fur babies. We returned to a very clean home, and some very happy pets including a nice a tired dog that enjoyed all the great hikes and adventures she got with Andrea :)! What more could you ask for! Thanks for everything Andrea! :)

About: I've lived with animals most of my life. From feeding, bathing, and walking to play time and adventure, I love it all! Most of my experience is with dogs and lizards, however I have experience with most animals. I have completed placements in an animal hospital and pet store giving me lots of knowledge and experience. I know how important routines are for animals and my goal is to ensure I keep things as normal as possible so they don't even know you're gone. I cant wait to spend time with your animals! I am currently not working so have open availability to care for your little ones all day. I will happily follow whatever routine you have in place for your pets! I will follow your routines and rules for your pets, after all you know them best. I will give them lots of love, attention, and care to meet all their needs.

Sydney was an amazing caregiver/house sitter for our 2 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We received lots of updates along with photos everyday. Sydney made sure Oscar and Felix were happy and healthy. She is honest, reliable, loves animals and peace of mind communication made for a worry free vacation. When we returned, Oscar and Felix were two happy kitties and our house was clean and tidy. We highly recommend Sydney. She’s a wonderful pet sitter! Thank you, Sydney!

About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.

About: I unfortunately have no experience other than I’ve had my cat for over a year now and my puppy for 7 months. I love them with all my heart. I have also been around dogs since the day I was born (all different breeds and ages). I work from home for my step dads business (Kodiak Metal Buildings) so this works perfectly as I need a little more money and have so much love for animals. I have a fenced in lawn and a 11 month golden retriever pup that loves every other animal! He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and needs, including senior and special-needs pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, oral medications, and injectable medications. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions because I know how important consistency can be, especially for pets who are anxious, elderly, or require medication. When your pet is with me, I want you to be able to relax knowing they’re being genuinely cared for—not simply checked on. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates, give them lots of attention, and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up beside me for some company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 My schedule is quite flexible, which gives me plenty of opportunities to fit pet care into my day. I’m available on many weekends as well as throughout the week between classes, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine. I know pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule, so I take agreed-upon feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, medications, and other routines seriously. If your pet needs a little extra time, patience, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide it. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else. Communication is really important to me, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I want you to feel just as comfortable with me as your pet does! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, crates, household rules, behavioural quirks, and routines. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. I know that being cared for by a new person can be overwhelming for some animals, so I’m happy to let shy or nervous pets approach me at their own pace. I’ll never force interaction, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to your pet’s personality. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual with your pet.

Happy dogs & a tidy home make for a great trip. Martha did an amazing job walking, grooming and cuddling our 2 large dogs. As we traveled we were sent pics and videos of their days with Martha; busy, happy, safe days. Highly recommend companion Martha for your fur baby(s) while you're away from home.
