“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Negi while I was away! She kept me updated the whole time with photos and videos, which made me feel so reassured. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and went above and beyond—she even shared her own dog food topper so Negi could enjoy his meals even more. I felt completely confident leaving Negi in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog sitter! 🐶💕”
“This was Chewie's first boarding with Hao and we had a great experience! From the initial meet and greet to the day of drop off Hao was very pleasant and reassuring which made us felt at ease. During the stay Hao also provided constant updates and videos. Chewie had so much fun and was all smiles when we picked up him. We will definitely book with Hao again!”
“Luna was well taken care of with Caroline for our first trip without her. Caroline was attentive to her needs and helped get her settled and get her acquainted with her own dog. We received regular communications and updates and photos and felt comfortable that Luna was in Caroline's care. Luna received lots of love, attention and exercise. She came home a happy pup. We recommend Caroline to others and would use her services again when we go away. Thank you Caroline!”
“Our husky Basha had a great stay with Xintian and family. Although he had some separation anxiety and some nervous behavior due to an encounter with a different dog in the days prior to him staying, Xintian and family were so patient and understanding with him and kept us up to date with pictures, videos and messages to keep our mind at ease! Would definitely recommend to have your dog stay here. They truly gave him a home away from home!”
“This was the second time I left Charlie with Yuxi Z. I would not hesitate to leave her with Yuxi Z again. I was updated every day and didn’t worry at all because I knew Charlie was in goods hands. Thank Yuxi Z.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”
“Bella had a great stay with Shaira and Kevin. We appreciate the excellent communication and photos/videos you shared of Bella during her stay. I would definitely recommend Shaira and Kevin to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. Thank you so much.”
“If you are in the Scarborough area and looking for dog-sitters that will treat your pooch(es) like their own, you must book with Jacky and Yunn. I highly recommend them! They have a lovely and cozy home in Scarborough and took such great care of our Timmie while my family and I were out of the country. Yunn communicated with me at least 5 times a day, sending photos and videos as requested. They were also very accommodating for the drop-off and pick-up time. Jacky and Yunn, thank you so much for taking care of Timmie during our time away. We will book you guys again if there's another opportunity :)”
“Amrit was amazing with my puppy, Skylar! She watched her for 5 nights and took such good care of her. I will 100% book with her again! She also sent updates and photos throughout the booking! She went above and beyond and even taught Skylar some new tricks :)”
“Ruoting took great care of our dog, we booked last minute and she was very accommodating to us which we really appreciated. She gave her medication and took her on many walks & sent us lots of videos and pictures. We came home to a happy well taken care of doggy. 😊”
“Xinyu took wonderful care of my dog for 5 days, sending frequent updates with photos and videos that made me feel at ease. My dog was so happy, playful, and comfortable with her—it was clear she treated her like her own. I’m so grateful and would definitely trust her again!”
“Angela is absolutely wonderful with our pup Wesley! He loves visiting with her and her sweet dog, Quentin and always looks forward to his trips to see them. Thank you, Angela!”
“Jin pays close attention to my dog's daily condition and communicate back to me. She is also very flexible, respond quickly, and show a lot of love. My dog is very happy in their care, which makes me feel at ease during my journey.”
“We have no words to express how amazing Mimi & Phillip were. They stayed in touch all the time while we were away, sent pictures everyday and they really cared about Nugget wellbeing, they treated Nugget as their own pet. We appreciate the relief that we felt, knowing that they took very good care of Nugget. They went above and beyond to help us. Another bonus is the Nugget connected really well with their dog. I definitely will use them again. And I would recommend them 100%.”
“Charmaine, her bf and Luna were amazing with Ninja. They took great care of him and took a lot of pictures and gave me regular status updates. Would definitely recommend Charmaine to family and friends and use her services again. Thanks again Charmaine!”

Ruoting took great care of our dog, we booked last minute and she was very accommodating to us which we really appreciated. She gave her medication and took her on many walks & sent us lots of videos and pictures. We came home to a happy well taken care of doggy. 😊
Amrit was attentive, caring, and responsive when it came to looking after our dog. We really appreciate how easy it was to communicate with her and all of the updates she provided us. Our dog had a great time with her and we will be returning to Amrit for future stays 😊 THANK YOU ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had Jessie and Joseph look after our dog, Harvey, for 10 days and he had a great time. Jessie sent updates, pics and videos throughout the week which gave us peace of mind knowing that Harvey was in good hands. We would 100% rebook with them the next time we go away. Highly recommend! 10/10!
She took very responsible care of my dog, treating her like her own. She even prepared extra fresh food, which we didn’t expect, but our dog loved it and we truly appreciated it. She also handled walks and hygiene very well. We are sure we will book with her again, and I highly recommend her.
Umber and Melly were in great hands with Sam and her family. Sam was super responsive and kept us updated with lots of videos and photos throughout the day. Sam and her family are very attentive and when we picked up the dogs at the end of the day, they were both so calm and peaceful 😌.
I cannot recommend Lushi highly enough! Her commitment is unmatched, she didn't just "watch" my dog; she showered him with genuine affection, kept him active, and followed every single instruction to a tee. I received regular updates, adorable photos, and I could tell from his happy face that he was having the time of his life. It’s such a relief to travel knowing my dog is in such capable and loving hands. If you’re looking for a sitter who is professional, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, look no further. Lushi is a total gem!
Carmen took amazing care of our poodle, Dot, who has high anxiety and a history of past trauma, so we are usually very hesitant to leave her with anyone. She followed all of our instructions on how to handle Dot, sent us daily photos and updates, and made sure she was comfortable and relaxed throughout her stay. Carmen was also very accommodating when our flight was delayed, keeping Dot for an extra hour without any issue. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy a peaceful vacation knowing Dot was in safe, loving hands. We would absolutely trust Carmen again and totally recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter.
Honestly… WOW. This was my first time leaving my dog CJ for two weeks and I could not have been happier to have found Winnie and Pete. Everyday, they sent photo and video updates of CJ playing, eating, and pooping (what all pet parents want to see haha). I could tell from how CJ cuddled with them that she was both comfortable and happy and that brought me such peace of mind while I was away. Not only did they take her for daily walks, but they went above and beyond to regularly take her to off-leash areas to play ball and on little adventures to pet stores to let her sniff around. They even helped work on her training which was not something we discussed or I even asked for, like how amazing! From her experience with her older dog Winnie also knew how to administer medications to CJ without any input from me, and she was so incredibly patient and understanding with my only-child syndrome dog when she was not friendly with other dogs. I am forever grateful for finding Winnie, I know that when I inevitably go away again, there will be someone who cares for my CJ almost as much as me to keep an eye on her. I highly recommend leaving your fur-babies with Winnie, she’ll make them feel loved and safe while you’re away.
