Kristina was amazing to work with! The cats were comfortable with her and we were able to have a stress free trip knowing our cats were taken care of. We had zero issues and her communication was excellent. We will definitely be using her services again!

About: My family got our first dog when I was 10 and I have loved them ever since. I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have lots of experience working with reactive and anxious dogs. I have house sat both dogs and cats for up to week. My schedule is currently very flexible so I can be very accommodating to your schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings 7 days a week. I'm available for drop-ins and walks any time of day. I have worked with very high energy and reactive dogs, and cared for animals that are older/need medications given to them. I am a calm, mature and responsible pet owner with a dog and a cat myself.

Giulia took wonderful care of our 12-year-old senior lab, Gibson, while we were out of town. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly very comfortable caring for an older dog. Knowing Gibson was in such good hands was a huge stress relief and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We would absolutely recommend Giulia and would not hesitate to use her services again.

Danny was great and very acknowlegable with the cats and very competent with our diabetic cat. She had no problems with giving insulin and needles and the cats seem to enjoy her time there. Danny was also very good with time and was there within the time frame given even woth her busy schedule. I would be glad to recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter especially with cats with extra needs. Thanks Danny B. very much for your time and effort.

About: Hello! I’m an experienced house sitter and dog walker looking to expand my services within the HRM. I have experience walking dogs of all ages and breeds. I enjoy hiking and would be willing to take a furry friend on long or short adventures! I’m happy to pet sit in your home as needed, or stop in while you’re away to check in, walk and care for your pets. I also have experience with administering regular medications to cats and dogs. So you can feel comfortable knowing your pets needs are in good hands! I work full time as a dental receptionist Monday to Thursday. However, my only real restriction is that I work 12 hours on Mondays. My walking / check in availability is: Monday: 6am-7am and 8pm-9pm Tuesday: 5pm-9pm Wednesday: 3pm-9pm Thursday 2pm-10pm Friday Saturday and Sunday: 8am-10pm House sitting availability can be very flexible. I’m looking forward to meeting with you 😇 I work Monday to Thursday with consistent hours making it easy to schedule pet care opportunities. I have a car and would love to bring your doggos hiking over the summer with me! I have 2 cats at home, so I’m only able pet sit outside of my own space, but I am more than happy to accommodate by staying with your pet or dropping in daily.

Kristina & Michael went above & beyond when our flights got cancelled and trip extended...they extended their services and got in to top up everything for my cat once more before we returned home - in a snowstorm!! So grateful they were able to do this and take this worry off my mind in a stressful situation.
