“Grace is so friendly and lovely! Our chaotic crazy dogs adored having her overnight while our family went away. She checked in often and sent me updates which I really appreciated. Thanks so much Grace :)”
“100/10 Ian’s amazing, super respectful and went above and beyond. Took care of our home and our dog peach very well. 100% will use him again and highly recommend him as a sitter for anyone looking for a trustworthy person off rover. Kept us in the loop with peach and we had no worries on our trip away from home. Thank you Ian! Can’t express enough how appreciative we are!”
About: Caring for pets comes naturally. Growing up with goldens, lab and a poodle. Then owing 2 Aussie Shepards and 3 cats. Shiloh the Shi Tzu is my latest pet, I trained her through professionals and now have a very loving dog, that love extends to all pets. I started by friends asking me to sit there dogs while they were away. Loving and caring for other dogs and cats, started as hobby and now I would love to do the same for you! I know that giving your dog exercise can greatly effect your pet in a positive way. They listen better and are generally happier. Love 💕 is a key ingredient to happier dog as well. Dogs are mostly comfortable in their own environment and their routines are very important to stay the same as they are used to. I am retired and have time to walk dogs, pop in to different homes to walk feed and care for other dogs. If they get along with other dogs can walk them with my dog. I will do both as my dog loves others or if the dog does not socialize well I can go to their home as needed.
“Christopher was professional, friendly and kind right from the start. He spent a week looking after our 2 dogs and 2 cats, sent us photos and updates, giving us peace of mind knowing they were being looked after and cared for. We would highly recommend Chris!”
“Amarah, was wonderful with my Staffie Frankie and my two cats Cleo and Bella. My pets loved her and I would highly recommend her. The txts with pics arr so reassuring that everyone is doing great while you are away. I would love to book her for future trips!”
About: I have taken care of a friends puppy, house-sat dogs & cats, walked dogs, fed both cats and dogs, gave medicine or vitamins, picked up dog poop, and cleaned cat litter. I work full time and can walk your pets in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can house-sit on occasion if we come to a mutual agreement! I communicate with you about your preferences and custom needs before we get into an agreement. I will send you a questionnaire to help make the process smooth!
About: I grew up on a farm, and while that provided me with some base knowledge, I loved having a dog. I’ve rescued my own dog, along with my cats, so I understand the hesitation and patience with new people, places, and animals. I was only working 3 shifts per week as a casual employee, but now have much more range of availability in order to help out. I live in an apartment with a balcony, and a large walking trail behind it, and a dog park just a 5 minute drive away.
