“So grateful to Gail for providing such loving and attentive care to our dogs (who can be fairly exuberant ?), our garden/plants, and our home. Regular updates and photos …… and she’s a better photographer than I am ?! It’s a relief to know that Gail is there should we need another pet/house sitter!”


“Michelle was wonderful with my two cats. She even made the skittish one feel comfortable with her. I felt comfortable with her looking after my home and cats. I highly recommend Michelle.”


“Had the me before leaving and upon my arrival to watch Brock interact with my dog and was impressed with his caring but boundary-setting approach. My German Shepherd’s herd is high spirited and he thrived under Brock’s care (the neighbor said they were always out in walks!). Will book again.”


“Laura was amazing! She took such great care of our pups and was so communicative. Really appreciate all of her help and would be thrilled to have her stay with our pups in the future.”


“Alexa house sat for my 2 cats, Henry and Delilah. She was reliable, responsible, a good communicator, and super competent. Henry has some challenging behaviour and she handled him like a pro, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She also left my place clean and tidy. I would not hesitate in recommending her services and would definitely have her house sit again.”


“Paige is such a pleasure to have watch my dogs. Everything is always well taken care of and left super clean. She's so patient and kind with my dogs. Paige is one of our Favorites”


“Rachel did a wonderful job with our large dog, Cedar on a three night housesit stay. She was friendly and thoughtful from the meet and greet, respected our home, and sent nice updates on Cedar while we were away. We came home to a house just as we’d left it and a very relaxed pup! Thanks, Rachel!”


About: Since I was a child, animals have been a fundamental part of my life and my family. We have always opened our doors to stray dogs and cats, offering them a loving home and treating them as cherished family members. I grew up surrounded by animals and learned from an early age the importance of responsibility, compassion, and providing them with the care and affection they deserve. My childhood was filled with moments of joy and learning as I watched these once scared and vulnerable animals transform into confident and loving companions. This experience taught me that every animal, regardless of their background, deserves a chance to be loved and cared for. Over time, my connection with animals grew even stronger. During my university years, I began formally helping friends and acquaintances by caring for their pets while they were away. This role always felt natural to me, as I have always had a deep and innate bond with animals. I found great fulfillment in ensuring that these pets felt safe, happy, and well cared for in their owners’ absence. Whether spending hours playing with them, making sure they were fed on time, or simply providing companionship, I approached every task with dedication and love. That was when I realized that caring for animals was not just a responsibility but a true calling. Over the years, I have continued offering my pet-sitting services on an occasional basis, always with full commitment, responsibility, kindness, and respect. To me, animals are beings of pure nobility, and I have made it my mission to provide them with the best possible care, as if they were part of my own family. I have cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, from shy and reserved to energetic and playful, and each one has taught me something new about patience, empathy, and unconditional love. Although I have not pursued a formal career in animal care until now, I have always been willing to contribute to this field, helping whenever I have been asked. My experiences have shown me that caring for animals is not just about meeting their physical needs but also about understanding their emotions and building a bond of trust. This is something I have always prioritized, and it has brought me immense joy to see the positive impact I can have on their lives. Additionally, I want to highlight that I have been vegan for nearly ten years, a decision that has deeply shaped my perspective on animal welfare. This lifestyle has allowed me to engage in various causes dedicated to protecting and advocating for animals, always with a foundation of empathy and respect for all living beings. My journey as a vegan has reinforced my belief that animals are not just companions but sentient beings who deserve dignity, compassion, and a life free from harm. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As I currently do not have a regular job, I have the flexibility and availability to dedicate the necessary time and attention to the pets I care for. This allows me to structure my days entirely around their needs, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing companionship, I am fully committed to making their well-being my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my primary goal is to maintain their routine and environment as closely as possible to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I provide all the necessary care, including regular feeding, playtime, and affection, while always respecting their personal space and boundaries. Additionally, I ensure their living areas are clean, organized, and hygienic, creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for them. Before starting any pet care service, I prioritize getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I prefer to have a detailed conversation with the client to understand their pet’s habits, preferences, behaviors, and any special requirements. This allows me to tailor my approach and provide personalized care that aligns with the pet’s routine and comfort level. For dogs, I take them out for walks to ensure they receive the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. I adjust the frequency, duration, and intensity of the walks based on each dog’s age, energy level, and health. For cats, I focus on interactive play and enrichment activities that cater to their natural instincts, such as chasing toys or exploring climbing structures. Throughout my time with the pets, I keep the client informed with regular updates, including photos and videos, so they can feel reassured that their furry friend is happy and well-cared for.

“Sandee was fantastic, and despite the fact that she didn’t know my dogs, was reliable, detailed oriented, and clearly very competent and comfortable. I really appreciated her good communication and attention to detail. It was great to come home from a four day trip and find the dogs happy, healthy and clearly at peace. I highly recommend Sandee to anyone.”


“Pamela was wonderful! She took amazing care of our doggo and our house. We received regular updates with adorable photos, and Phoebe clearly really liked her. She really went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Pamela for any pet care/house sitting, we’re so happy we found her!!”


“Melanie was incredible! Great communication, super prompt and reliable, made sure our furkids and home were well taken care of, and we’re so happy that we found her. We hope that this is the start of a long sitter relationship!”


“Lora was a wonderful sitter for my dog, Mo. She was very friendly at the meet and greet and asked all the right questions, and I could tell right away she would be great with Mo. While I was away, she sent photos and updates and I came home to a content pup. I would definitely recommend Lora!”


“This was the first time we had someone house sit and look after our fur baby Nova. We met Eduardo and Jessica in advance for a meet and greet. We were impressed right from get go and their interaction with Nova. While away they sent us regular updates and photos of our girl which immediately put us at ease. Nova is a high energy dog and they fulfilled her need for lots of exercise and lots of loving. They kept our home neat, tidy and clean for our return home! If you need a great sitter don’t hesitate to book Eduardo and Jessica. My husband and I are already planning our next getaway and will rebook with them hands down! Thanks to you both for making this such a wonderful experience!”

“I highly recommend Skyler for pet sitting. He spent four days at my home with my 10 yr old German Shepherd. I had never left my dog with anyone before and Skyler was wonderful with her. She can be unsure when meeting new people but he won her over quickly and soon had her playing and even let him brush her. He sent pictures and updates to me daily and also took excellent care of my home while I was away.”
