1. Kylee A.
“At first we were nervous to let someone we don't know stay at our home, but Kylee arranged to meet us a few days earlier to introduce herself, which put all of the uncertainty aside. She is friendly, courteous, and I had no doubt she would take good care of Josie, Jenny and Thandi...and of course our home. To look after 3 dogs, one still a pup, is a tall order, but Kylee was a real trooper and did an amazing job! She communicated well and kept up us up to speed with how they were doing during our trip. Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy. We will certainly make use of your services again :-)”

“Absolutely recommend Azura ! She is very attentive and keeps you updated with lots of photos. She left our place really clean. And her pop Indie is a sweetheart it gets along great with other dogs 😀”
4. Tara F.
“Tara had excellent communication and provided lots of info regarding my 10 month old pup. She was very patient and provided Riley with lots of excercise and games. She left my house very tidy. I would not hesitate to have her pets it at my house again :)”
5. Julie C.
“If only there were more stars for Julie! She is amazing! Our 3 year old Frenchie Pug fell in love with her immediately and she catered to him all weekend. She took great care of our home as well, leaving everything as she found it. Julie sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend which helped us miss Henry a little bit less. We 100% recommend Julie. We feel like we won the lottery meeting her.”
6. Jodelle A.
“Jodelle was a great house/pet sitter for our 3 little dogs! I came home to a clean house and happy dogs😊 I would definitely love to have Jodelle stay with my girls again and I highly recommend her!”
7. Kayla H.
“Kayla did an incredible job looking after our senior dog. She was right on time to start, communicated regularly giving us confidence that she was looking after our pup and home. She had incredible patience as Molly's pace is very, very slow, lots of sniffs and sitting down and watching the world go by. Thanks again Kayla!”
8. Holly F.
“Holly was great! Our very cautious and shy foster dog, Oreo, was quick to warm up to Holly. He quickly trusted her and enjoyed lots of pets and walks. Holly was easy to communicate with, very friendly, professional, and respectful. Highly recommended and look forward to meeting again!”
9. Pierre H.
“Pierre was very good with my two dogs (Poppy and Roxy) and our home. He sent daily photo updates and took them on walks to fun places. When our flight home was delayed, he offered to continue to help. I know our dogs enjoyed his company and cuddles.”
10. Dawn M.
“Dawn was terrific juggling our three dogs. It was planned last minute and did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable leaving our mutt family with … basically strangers. Received updates and even offered FaceTime connections if we wanted to check in. Even our neighbours commented how caring they both were with our dogs and saw them out and about at the park or out for a walk. Plus added bonus, the house was as clean as I’ve ever seen it when we returned. I highly recommend Dawn and will use her again.”
11. Jimena B.
“Jimena was great with Max, taking him for lots of walks and fresh air. She kept us posted on how he was doing with videos. It was like Max was on vacation!”
12. Kathryn L.
“I have known Kathy as a close friend, for approximately 15 years. She is always kind, compassionate and gives from her heart. I have witnessed Kathy interact with many cats and dogs, always with love and respect, whether she knows them well or has just met them. They always seem to be attracted to her and before long they allow her to bestow them with a never ending supply of kisses! In addition, Kathy will stay true to a commitment, treat your place with care and respect and will show you consideration and communicate well. Kathy has cared for my cat, dog and home in the past and I recommend her 100%.”
13. Teresa V.
“Teresa was great with our 2 year old Labradoodle and our 7 year old cat. She took the dog for walks, played fetch in the backyard with him and was good with handling him. Teresa fed both animals and gave them lots of cuddles. I would recommend her pet services to anyone.”
14. Bethany B.
“Bethany cared for my new puppy overnight at my house. She was responsive, had great communication and outdid her self caring for my pup. I will be booking her services again in the future.”
15. Leesa P.
“Leesa was amazing We were all so comfortable with her from the first second we met her. Leesa has a calming, and happy personality. We all felt like we had know her for years, we feel like she is now a friend as well as an awesome dog sitter. Oscar absolutely loved Leesa, we feel he was a little sad after she left, he missed her. We wish we had her all to ourselves. Thank you Leesa We hope to see you again soon, we want to book something just so we can see you again and we will ❤️”
16. Anna Maria K.
“Anna Maria came to our home to look after our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She took good care of our pets looking after feeding, walking, playing, cuddling and cleaning up. We were concerned because our senior dog, age 17, becomes stressed when we are away and needs special care. We appreciated the daily pictures and updates Anna Marie sent and could see that our pets were happy and calm with her competent care. She is reliable and trustworthy and we will be happy to hire her again.”
17. Emery U.
“Emery is really caring with animals, she would be very loving for your animal and does exactly what she needs to do for your pets”
18. Danielle P.
“Danielle did an excellent job looking after my dog and and keep me well informed which is always appreciated.”
19. Caroline F.
About: I've taken good care of dogs and cats for years: mine, my neighbour's, and my friend's. Special needs, seniors, puppies, and kittens are most welcome. I have had blind pets and senior pets with specific and complex needs in the past I have a fairly flexible schedule. I can most easily accommodate early morning and evening visits and care. I am also usually available on weekends and most holidays. With a full house (three cats) of my own, I am best able to care for your pet in your home, and following your specifications.
20. Kelsey R.
“Fantastic communication and made sure our beloved dog was well cared for. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing our dog was safe in her care. Thank you so much!”
