Gail and Felicity took excellent care of Stevie once again. He seems so happy and content with them! I also totally trust them to look after his eye issues - and that's a huge relief for me!

We had our two dogs stay overnight with Akshata and we were extremely pleased with our experience. She replied quickly to any of my questions or concerns, updated us on how dogs settled in to her home and provided pics before I even enquired. She was also extremely amicable and flexible with our drop off of dogs. I felt reassured that our dogs’ safety and well being was taken care of during their stay! Thanks Akshata!

About: My friends, family and neighbours have trusted me with sitting, feeding, walking and caring for animals throughout my whole life. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. I am currently working a part time job so I have lots of time to spend with your animals!! However I prefer to board on weekends. I do have green space around my home (unfenced) as well as a park very close by so your pups can experience lots of time outside!

Kelly was terrific with my dog Hippo. He stayed overnight for several days and she took excellent care of him. She was an excellent communicator. She took him on walks and adventures, above and beyond. She even took my pet sitting request on short notice when my original Rover sitter cancelled last minute. Finding her was our lucky day! Highly recommend Kelly (and Patrick).

About: Lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my Australian Shepherd, Pepper 🐾 My home is calm, cozy, and very dog-friendly. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—no long hours alone. I’m experienced with daily routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for puppies (with all the patience and consistency they need!) as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler, more relaxed approach. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers to cuddle and relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets lots of attention and keep a consistent routine. I’m home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I’m in the office, but I’m located very close to home and can easily come back for check-ins, walks, and care as needed. Overall, I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and never left alone for long. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the main floor, which means quick and easy access to the outdoors for bathroom breaks and walks—no long waits or elevators needed. We’re also located near great off-leash parks and walking areas, perfect for getting in lots of exercise and fresh air (always based on your comfort level and your dog’s needs). Inside, my home is clean, calm, and set up to be a safe, cozy environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, responsible, and always mindful of each dog’s routine, safety, and well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from playful pup to senior dog with multiple needs. We have boarded dogs for weekends or monthly trips. I send along dog photos of the places we go and people we meet. We have two teenage boys at home that love having a companion. We had a mixed breed dog for 15 years, while I miss her terribly I think having some dogs in our lives would be amazing! I am always up for a walk, play or cuddle. I have experience with bathing, taken obedience classes and dispensing medication. I work mostly from home and have a quiet fall and winter schedule so would be around for the duration of the visit. Your pup will be part of the family! If they like car rides we are the people for that or snuggles on the couch with a good book. Your dog would be well cared for! Yours would be the only dog at our house and have our undivided attention . We have a large yard for quick trips outside on leash and close to parks and trails for longer walks. Depending on the activity level they can even sun bathe on the back deck!

My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶

Niko had a blast and Margaret was fantastic. Very understanding (Niko can be a lot of energy to deal with and is a big pup). Pictures the whole time we were gone, and very convenient with drop offs and pick ups. Will absolutely do again!

Our wee Fig just spent an amazing week with Carolina and her dog, Arthur, at their house. From the instant we met Carolina we were certain Fig was in for a week of being loved, receiving the highest standard of care, snuggles, walks and other cool adventures. While we were away, Carolina sent us lots of adorable pictures and updates about how Fig was doing. There wasn’t one moment during our time away that we worried about Fig’s happiness or health. Fig is a pup with some gastrointestinal issues and Carolina was a pro at administering her meds, and making sure Fig’s food was soaked in boiled water so it was perfectly “mushy”, just the way our vet said it needed to be (gross). We are grateful beyond words. We will book Carolina again and again. If we could giver her 20 stars, we would.

About: Raised a loyal dog for 13 years—well-versed in canine care, training, and emotional needs. - Cared for adorable rabbits and energetic hamsters, understanding small pets’ unique habits and needs. - Though a proud "dog mom," I’m also a “cat enthusiast”! From litter box mastery to playtime tricks As a stay-at-home mom with a part-time job, my schedule is quite flexible. I’m home most of the day, which means I have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and love they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. 🔒 Safety, Trust & Environment When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and follow the pet’s routine closely. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I double-check doors, gates, and feeding instructions, and I always clean up after myself. Trust and communication matter to me—I’ll keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet won’t just get care—they’ll get companionship. 🐾💕

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda. My dog has a tendency to do marking inside the house, and she handled the situation with so much patience, understanding, and care. She made sure he was always safe, comfortable, and truly happy during his stay. What I really appreciated was how knowledgeable she is, she even gave me helpful advice on how to better manage this behavior in the future. She and her partner are a very kind and experienced couple, and it truly shows in how they care for dogs. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to leave their dog and not have to worry at all while they are away. When I picked my dog up, he was actually missing her, which says everything about how well he was treated.
