“I recommend Ste. She has cared for Phoebe, my cat, twice. Phoebe has trouble chewing due to dental issues. Ste was attentive and followed all instructions. I will book her for future stays.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with my sweet girl Licorice! She was flexible with the last minute booking and was very friendly. I will definitely call her again when I need a sitter! I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone! ☺️”
“My cat Littles stayed with Jiale for 12 nights. Jiale made sure Littles had a safe space from her own kitty, gave lots of pets, and sent me updates with pictures and videos. Usually, after a typical boarding place, Littles comes home agitated and starving for affection, but after staying with Jiale she came back home calm and content - I think she liked the stay.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats through friends and family, and I’ve always enjoyed caring for them. I have a 10 y/o dog of my own, so I’m especially comfortable with the patience, attention, and extra care that senior pets may need. I also have experience caring for cats and have spent years looking after pets for friends and family. When I first moved to Canada 8 years ago, I regularly dog-sat for a family friend, which is where I really started enjoying caring for other people’s pets. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra patience, or simply a little company and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I work during the week, so my schedule is generally busy from Monday to Thursday, but I can accommodate visits times after 5pm. From Friday through Sunday, I have more flexibility and extra time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending my weekends outdoors, staying active, and being around animals, so dog walking and pet sitting would fit naturally into my routine. I’m excited to use my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. For now, I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits only. Although I may offer house sitting in the future. My top priorities are always safety and trust. For walks, I make sure your dog is securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and follow your instructions regarding their routine, behaviour, and needs.
About: Growing up my family and I used to rescue dogs, making me very patient with all types of furbabies! I can take on any challenge. My baby was a special needs dog who needed attentive care 24/7 which helped me learned a lot about animal care. I have experience with my senior pets as well as both my husband and I care for our family pets when our parents needs us to! Both my husband and I have a wide experience in bird, rodent, reptile care as well. Any animal is welcome in our home, guaranteed a safe environment that would accommodate your pet needs. To get to know about me and my love for animals check my highlights on Instagram at allykatigbak or potato.the.bully. Since we have cared for our own pets as well as foster dogs in the past we have lots of toys, beds, treats, apparel for cold weather ranging from small to XXL and a crate if needed. We’re happy to share these with your babies during their stay with us to ensure safety, enrichment and comfort. I work from home and only go into the office once a week, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My own dog recently passed, and caring for him, especially as a special needs pet. This taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of attentive care. I’ll make sure your furry friend receives the same love, comfort, and dedication I gave to mine. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. My home is a calm, pet-friendly space filled with toys, treats, and cozy beds to help them feel right at home. Pets are always welcome on the furniture, because I want them to feel like part of the family. Whether they love to play, nap, or snuggle, their environment is always clean, secure, and full of care. A crate is also available if they prefer their own space.
About: Having begun walking neighborhood dogs as a teenager, I have plenty of experience. I am an avid researcher into positive training methods, and have wanted to work with dogs since I was a child. I currently work only a few hours a week in Retail, and volunteer at the humane society. I have taken and received certification for fear free handling of pets in the shelter environment- a transferable skill for kennelling In my off time, I’m working with my own dog, who I have trained from puppyhood. I had my own reactive rescue lab from (his)ages 5-14, and raised two puppies since. The youngest is a 3yr gsd mix. My dog experience is focused mostly around large dogs and puppies. Up to 89lbs As to cats, I have raised two kittens. One lived to 9 before the cancer. One is still growing strong. Matt is my senior boy, whom I have had for 12 years now.
About: I have been looking after dogs of all sizes since I was a child. I am particularly good with timid and nervous dogs, as all of my dogs have been rescues. I provide gentle care and build trust over time. I can help leash train dogs of all sizes. I am quite good with senior dogs and can adjust care easily to fit their needs. I have volunteered as a veterinary assistant and have been taught how to restrain dogs to administer medications properly. I can consistently provide pet care in the mornings (6-9am). I work a part time job but can work with you to find days and times that I am available to provide the appropriate care for your pet. I would like to sit down with you and your pet before any care is provide to get a better understanding of how you care for your pet. I would like to know your routine with your pet, if they are crated when you leave home, where they are allowed to be in the house/yard, and if there is any health concerns that will require my attention.
About: I have experience with taking care of small dogs, medium dogs and large dogs ; Walking them, feeding them and bathing them including puppies under 1 year old. Ex) Shih Tzu, Welsh Corgi, Labrador, and Great Danes. I'm a freelancer so I can adjust my schedule whatever I want, so I can take care of your pups and cats any time you want! I can feed them, walk them and play with them as they need. I love playing fetch with them, running with them and playing tug of war with them. I can make healthy snacks by pet parent's request/instruction with the ingredients at pet parent's home.
“Ash did a drop in visit with my dog, Ziggy, when we were gone for the day. From the beginning, Ash was so approachable, had so many questions about caring for my Ziggy, and was super adaptable to his needs. Ziggy warmed up to her immediately! It helped that Ash brought treats for him. We will definitely book Ash again for drop in’s, walks, and overnight stays again.”
About: My family owned dogs most of my life and I was the main caretaker of her. I took care of all her needs including administering prescription pills. I have also volunteered with a cat rescue charity, taking care of up to 14 adult cats and kittens at a time. I was in charge of their water, litter, play, diets/food as well as any ointments or pills. I’m currently not working and would love to do more with my time helping pet parents where I can as I can never get enough animal love! I’ve taken courses both in person and online about animal welfare and behaviour and have cared for many different pets throughout my life. I am a quiet individual who knows when to let a pet choose the pace of interactions.
About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.
“Talia is such a nurturing and caring person who you can wholeheartedly trust with your furry family. She has such a calming and loving energy that my cats felt instantly when she came into my home. Thank you for taking such good care of our kitties!”
“Simply said, Taylor was amazing! We truly appreciated her looking after our precious feline, Juliet, while we were abroad for two weeks. She daily visits for feeding, cuddles and frequent updates and photos helped us to fully relax and enjoy our travels! She treated our home like it was hers - keeping it tidy by vacuuming, and watering my plethora of tropical plants! We came home to a peaceful oasis and a very happy cat! Thank you so much, Taylor!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals and truly love caring for them. I have experience with both dogs and cats and enjoy playing, spending time, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I am currently in my last semester of college and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to care for pets, play, walk, and meet any needs requested by owners. I only attend in-person classes on Mondays from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM and Thursdays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and I have one online course that is also very flexible. My animals are much more than just pets to me; they are my greatest companions and a source of emotional support. Their well-being is one of my highest priorities, and I always care for them with love, attention, and responsibility, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and happy. I will care for clients’ pets as if they were my own, with genuine love, care, and attention.

Heather was absolutely amazing! I needed someone to check on my cat Manny on very short notice while I was out of town, and she was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process. She followed all my instructions carefully, refilled his water, fixed his automatic feeder, and made sure everything was taken care of. She even spent time giving Manny lots of love and cuddles, which really meant a lot to me! She also went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside without me even asking. That was such a thoughtful gesture! Heather truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️
We have been so grateful for the care and support Mikaela has provided to our mother and her two cats. She has been incredibly reliable, flexible, and communicative, and was always willing to go the extra mile to help. Mikaela took wonderful care of both cats, with particular attention to keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas clean, as well as taking care of any other cat-related messes. Just as importantly, she has been a tremendous support to our mother and was always thoughtful and willing to help wherever needed. We would absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. She has been a tremendous help to our family, and we are very appreciative of everything she has done.
Derlene was absolutely wonderful with our two Ragdoll boys, Mochi and Guinness! She did twice-daily drop-ins while we were away for our wedding, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands! 🐱🐱 Mochi can be quite shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, so we were especially happy to hear that he absolutely loved Derlene and warmed up to her so quickly! Derlene sent us updates and lots of photos every visit, which we really appreciated while we were away. We’re so grateful she took such great care of our boys and would absolutely recommend her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Alex is really nice and you can tell she really cares about animals and understands them and how to care for them. She looked after my 2 cats while I was out of town and right after our meet and greet I felt comfortable knowing they would be in her care. She is thorough and detailed oriented. She sent me videos, pictures, & updates on how my cats were doing each visit, and I never felt worried about them during my trip. I will definitely request to rebook with her next time I go out of town.
Jayden did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Copper. She independently took care of him for over a week and was reliable. She handled all responsibilities with utmost care and properly secured my home locks between visits. I would definitely recommend Jayden and welcome her back to take care of Copper!
I highly recommend Katie! She was absolutely wonderful with my cat and checked in on her every day this week while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in such good hands. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate how kind and thoughtful she was, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after my cat again! 🐾❤️

Sneha took wonderful care of my cat, Nila! She was very gentle, patient, and attentive, and made sure Nila was comfortable throughout the visit. She followed all instructions carefully and spent quality time with her, which I really appreciated. I also loved the updates, it gave me peace of mind knowing Nila was in such good hands. You can truly tell Sneha loves animals and treats them like her own. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again!
Jenna took care of my cat for two weeks over holidays. She has been very good with him. Mango is picky about his food but Jenna tried different tricks to make him like his food. Mango got very comfortable with her and bounded quickly. Surely will ask Jenna looking after him if I am going away again. Thanks Jenna 🙏😻❤️
