“Andrea was wonderful! We really appreciated how communicative she was and how many updates and photos she sent while caring for our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our “kids” were in such good hands. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. Thank you, Andrea”

“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: For my whole life, I have always had family dogs. As an adult, I got my own family dog and he’s so loved! Dogs always made me feel save, loved and at peace. They are so loyal, loveable, and perfect to talk to. I am the first person my friends and family ask to watch their precious fur babies while they go on vacation, short or long stays, or even to let them out to the bathroom or feed them if they are running late. I have an open house for dogs to roam. They are welcome to wander around and make use of my backyard. I have a doggy pool for dogs to cool off in the warm and hot days, I have dog beds to supply if needed. I have experience in raw diets along with kibble. I love getting out and taking dogs for walks, and hikes. I have great trails near my house. I don’t mind giving your dogs a baths along with brushing them. I am a great listener, a friendly face and an awesome cuddler. My hours are very flexible as I am a stay at home mom and I dont mind a little commute, I have my own transportation. I have a 9 year old boxer who loves to play with other dogs. I promise your puppies vacay will be a fun one! I am currently a stay at home mama. We have a little 1 year old daughter who’s bright and cheerful. If you don’t mind your dogs around a little one, and they are child friendly, we’d love to accommodate your furry friend. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to play with your puppy and give them as much attention as they need! I have a fully fenced in yard on an acre, lots of room to run and explore. I also have cameras all around our property.

About: I have taken care of dogs for friend, families for many years. I am great with high energy dogs who need walks and consistent play! I’m also great with the quieter anxious dogs who need a little extra love while their family is away! I work full time Monday- Friday. I am flexible on weekends and can be with your pets full time. I can give morning and evening walks and send daily pictures to keep you updated I always make sure I know the boundaries of the yard. I can crate your dog if that is what you prefer or leave them out. I always like to monitor for different behaviours or signs the pet is anxious or sick. I love sending daily pictures and updates to keep your informed how how your pet is doing

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 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.

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.

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 Thursday, so I can't do those days, but my 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.

“Dayna is an excellent dog sitter. She has sat for my dog Jackson in both my house and I have left Jackson at her house with her and her dog Tokyo. She has also taken care of Jackson and two dogs other dogs who were visiting me and she did a great job with 3 dogs at once. Dayna clearly loves animals and has a great way with Jackson. She is very attentive while sitting and provides great feedback and photos. Jackson is very excited to see her. Her dog Tokyo is exceptionally well trained and gets along with Jackson just like a big sister and is a great friend and role model for my dog. I strongly recommend Dayna to any one looking for a Rover!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and bunnies my whole life. From shitzus to Neo Mastiffs/doge de Bordeaux’s, I have experience with many different dog breeds. I currently work on a rotating schedule as a social worker, but can be flexible with my schedule to provide care for your fur baby. I live in a house by myself, so your furbaby will have free range of two stories, or I can crate them if needed to.

The key for us was that the dogs were comfortable with the sitter and Andrea was great with them. This was wonderful because we felt confident leaving our h o me and loved companions with her.

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.
