Saksham took great care of Percy while my family was away at a cottage for 4 nights. They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout his stay. They also made sure to give him his medication on a set schedule. I think Percy had a great time! Thanks for taking such good care of him.

Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!

This was our first time leaving Molly with Carrie but we were extremely happy with our choice. Carrie kept us informed throughout the weekend with photos and updates which was appreciated. Carrie is very knowledgeable about dogs which is a definite plus. Her dog is very friendly and Molly got along well. Nice to know your pet is having a nice time while you are away. Definitely will use Carrie again.

It was the first time I used the sitter for my dog. We left our dog with Adam for four days. Adam is a great pet sitter! He is very friendly and communicative. I received the message about my dog every day, along with photos. My dog looked very relaxed and pleased during her stay. I highly recommend Adam for his service. I will leave my dog again with Adam whenever it is needed.

She was amazing! She sent me plenty of pictures and videos of Milo, and he looked so happy and comfortable with Samantha and her husband. I’ll definitely rebook with them next time. She’s very kind, responsible, and even accommodated when I needed to extend my time—she was more than happy to take care of Milo longer. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs. Growing up, I helped care for family pets and friends’ pups, so looking after dogs feels natural to me. I’m happy to walk them, feed them, play, or just hang out and give them company. What Makes Me Different • I treat every dog like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and care. • I enjoy being active, so if your dog loves long walks or runs, I’m all in. • I’m patient and gentle with shy dogs, and I know how to keep energetic ones busy. • I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely so your pup feels safe and comfortable. At the end of the day, I just really enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they’re happy while you’re away. I’m free most evenings and weekends, and I love spending that time going for long walks—perfect for keeping your pup happy and active. I go on long walks with my own dog and would love to bring yours along. I live in a condo with plenty of space, which works well for smaller dogs or shorter stays. I make sure pets are comfortable, have time to play, and get out for regular walks. In a client’s home, I follow your routines so your dog feels right at home—whether that’s feeding, walks, or just keeping them company.

We initially had a meet and greet to see how Duke would interact with Stefan and Bumi. Stefan was very friendly and reassuring and Duke got along really well with Bumi. We would receive daily updates from Stefan and clearly Duke had a blast. Thanks for a comforting experience, Stefan. We would definitely bring Duke back when necessary and hope to get Duke and Bumi together for a play date!

Judy has been an amazing find for us. She has taken care of our giant slobbery bear with no qualms. She weathered his upset stomach with care and added additional time onto his stay last minute with open arms. We would absolutely trust Judy again with Otis in the future.

Madison and Jeffrey are wonderful! Milo always seems so comfortable with them, and he always comes back home incredibly relaxed and happy. Milo has stayed with them a few times now, and we can say we trust Madison and Jeffrey 100%. Milo is a really sweet guy, but he has anxiety around other dogs and people, and we feel totally confident leaving him in their care. They take excellent care of him and keep us updated. Thanks so much!

Amazing and very kind and caring lady! She has looked after our dear dog several times! We are so happy to have found her! Very professional, keep us updated every single day with texts, photos and videos of our dog, and took our dog for several daily walks. She also cared for our dog by giving her meds and food exactly the way we needed it her to have them. Overall I will totally recommend Carmen! And we hope to continue having her look after dog in the future! Thank you so much Carmen!

Behnaz is one of our favourite sitters and she just hosted our dog for two weeks. She took excellent care of her and ensured she got exercise tailored to her rehab program, had her medications and appropriate enrichment. She was very conscientious about details from the right amount for the weight loss diet our dog is (sadly!) on to monitoring her for other health concerns. We feel so much at ease when our dog is with Behnaz and would strongly recommend her. We even drove from out of town before a flight just to make sure our dog was in the beat hands for a long stay. Thank you for the love and care !

Dogs came back healthy and tired, it seems like the dogs had a great time. They asked great questions and had a pretty good intro routine set up at the dog intro which made us very confident leaving our dogs with them. Will definitely reach out about dog-sitting in the future!

Ranjitha is just amazing! Luna was at her place for about 10 days. And we were a bit worried as Luna has not shared a space with other animals before. But Ranjitha managed everything so well. Constant updates, even recommendations and questions. I would recommend Ranjitha to anyone looking for pet care.
