“Wing Shan is super responsive and helpful during last minute drop-in requests. She understands details left for her to care for my kitties :) Please support her and you won’t be disappointed ;)”

“This was our first time leaving Lola completely on her own, and without the company of anyone she knew, so I was naturally worried about how she would be while we were away. Angela totally put my mind at ease, and I knew Lola would be in good hands. Communication was great, and especially appreciated when a “technical issue “ arose. Most important of all, we came home to a happy, healthy kitty. Thank you Angela! 😻”

“Christy was absolutely amazing! She followed every single instruction very carefully and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She took such great care of my cat and was very attentive and responsible throughout. I could tell my cat was comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciate her effort and kindness — I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: Hello, I'm Ansley. I've been looking after my own cats since they were three months old. I have 2 cats at home and I’ve taken care of cats with special medical needs. As a devoted pet lover, you can trust that your beloved companion will receive exceptional care and affection while you’re not around, ensuring their happiness and well-being. For me, pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Each day, I make sure there’s time set aside for feeding, fresh water, and playtime, or just cuddling on the couch. I clean up after them regularly, like tidying up litter boxes or bedding, and if they need grooming or medication, I handle that too. It’s not just a task for me—it’s a chance to connect with them and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I work their routines into my day naturally, so it feels seamless and personal for both of us. I ensure all pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in any environment. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their routines, providing daily feeding and hydration, exercise and play, and hygiene maintenance, such as cleaning litter boxes and grooming when needed. I recognize that each pet has unique needs and personalities, so please share your pet’s routines and preferences so we can create a comfortable, stress-free environment tailored just for them.

“Friendly and helpful”

About: I've been boarding dogs in my home for over a year, welcoming everything from gentle giants like Samoyeds, Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, and Cane Corsos to sweet little Shih Tzus, Malteses, and Miniature Poodles. Big or small, every dog gets the same warmth, attention, and care — my home is their home. I also have experience with cat drop-in visits, stopping by to feed, play, and tidy up so your cat stays happy and comfortable in their own familiar space. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love all kinds of animals and take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as a university student who studies from home. Most days I'm around the house, which means your pet always has company and attention throughout the day. My only full days away are Tuesdays and Fridays, when I have on-campus lectures from around 8 AM to 6 PM, but the house is never left empty. My household members are experienced with pets and are always home to ensure your furry friend is looked after, comfortable, and never alone. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have morning lectures, so I'm back home around 3 PM. Thursdays and weekends I'm completely free and fully available. My home is a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment for pets of all sizes. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can run, explore, and burn off energy with peace of mind. I also share my home with a friendly cat, when boarding larger dogs she's completely comfortable keeping to herself upstairs, so there's no stress for either animal. Most importantly, I believe every pet thrives best when their routine stays as close to normal as possible. I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, walking habits, house rules, or any other preferences you have. Whatever helps your pet feel at home.

About: Hello! I’m Seray! I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for a very long time. Although I possess years of experience and skill taking care of cats, I work at a shelter where I deal with all types of dogs. I bring lots of medical and training knowledge as a supervisor at an animal shelter. If you need someone to administer medication to your animal, keep them company, walk them or train your new pet, I will be glad to help! On my days off (usually weekdays) or when I am back from work; I’m glad to provide care for your pets. Usually early mornings or late evenings, feel free to message me for other times. I always recommend crate training to dog owners and a safe space for cats to frequent in emergency situations. Training your pet to gather at a muster point is so beneficial. I always pet proof and remove garbage, food and chemicals away from surfaces they can access. I also avoid giving dogs bones without supervision as it can cause choking or dental fractures. I always keep the door closed and am very careful with door routine. I always provide a detailed report of the walk at the end of the shift in addition to stool score and medical concerns.

About: Hi! My name is Monique. I bring genuine love, patience, and connection to every animal I care for. Animals are more than pets, they’re family. I treat the ones I care for with the same respect, attention, and affection I would my own. I am trained in dog CPR and First Aid, which gives owners added peace of mind knowing their pet is in safe and capable hands. I also grew up with a beautiful black and brown male Doberman Pinscher named Ninja. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and attentive care. My experience started young, caring for family members’ and neighbors’ pets, and I’ve always loved being around animals. Ninja regularly had playdates with other dogs, which helped me learn even more about socialization, behavior, and how different dogs interact. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks, reinforcing positive habits, and keeping them active through walks, play, and mental stimulation. My favorite games to play with dogs are hide and seek and fetch. I also love to see how happy they get when they hear the word "walk". The excitement is very adorable and in return brings me great joy. I don't currently own a dog, but I’m happy to regularly help care for two beloved family dogs who visit on weekends. A sweet female senior Shih Tzu and an energetic six-year-old female Giant Schnauzer. I treat them like my own, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me valuable hands on experience. From providing gentle attention and comfort to senior pets to keeping active dogs engaged and happy, I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves loving, reliable care. I am available full time for your pet. Pet care fits well into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate different care needs as required. Pets in my care are provided with a safe, structured, and attentive environment. I provide trustworthy care and make sure every walk and visit is safe, positive, and stress free. I can also care for pets in your home, following all instructions and specific needs you provide.

About: I have been a cat lover since I was young and grew up in a home filled with cats. I treat every cat like family and always try to make them feel safe, happy and completely at home. I provide a private room with window, cat trees and cat supplies so your cat can relax in a calm, safe, and stress-free space. Also, I'm currently learning photography. I will capture some sweet and fun moments and share them with you. I currently only accept cats who are up to date on their vaccinations and have been spayed or neutered. I speak English, 廣東話, 普通话, so feel free to reach out to me in whichever language is most comfortable for you. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily follow your cat's usual feeding times and routines. Whether they are used to being fed twice or three times a day, I am happy to keep them on their normal schedule to make them feel as comfortable as possible. My home is fully set up for cats, with cat trees, cozy beds, and plenty of toys for them to play, climb, and relax. It is a safe and fun environment where they can feel right at home. I provide a private room with window, cat trees and cat supplies so your cat can relax in a calm, safe, and stress-free space. To keep everything clean and safe, I use only pet-friendly cleaning products and make sure to tidy up daily, giving your cat a comfortable and worry-free space to enjoy. Your cat will have their own little cozy world here!

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet mom of 5 cats and 2 dogs, and I truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality. I’ve cared for shy, anxious, playful, and high-energy pets, including those who need extra patience and gentle handling. One of my cats is very sensitive and requires special care, so I’m very comfortable working with pets that may take time to warm up. I’m calm, patient, and attentive. I always respect each pet’s pace and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter care, or just quiet companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs. I also enjoy long walks and staying active, so I’m happy to provide quality time and exercise for dogs as well. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I also travel occasionally, but I always keep my calendar updated so you can book with confidence. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully and respect your home and your pet’s routine. I create a calm and stress-free environment, especially for shy or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood, and I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

When needed, I use pet-safe natural insect repellent before outdoor exposure and keep up with routine parasite prevention to protect against fleas and ticks.

“Lorena and Mark were great! They arrived on time, we’re very respectful with my home and instructions. They gave my guy Ben all the love and play time he required and sent me videos and photos to keep me updated. Thank you!!”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I was obsessed and when I mean obsessed I was OBSESSED with animals, more specifically dogs. I would spend my summers volunteering at the OSCPA, I would babysit my neighbours cats and dogs, and try everything in my power to get my parents to get me a dog of my own! When I was 11 I was attacked by a dog and when getting stitched up the only thing I wanted for being so brave was “my own puppy” fast forward two months later and my best friend came into the picture. I have a 13 year old australian labrador who truly is my side kick and best friend. When I was 20 I also fostered a dog from Texas who had been neglected and abused. He found his forever home with the help of me. My love for animals is really true. I hope you know I would do the same for your furry friend. Anytime Anyday works for me. I currently am at home doing school so whatever time you need I will 100% be able to accommodate to you! With my own doggy I would treat yours the same as mine. With love, kindness, silliness, and most importantly keep them safe and well and healthy!

About: I specialize in caring for friendly, calm, and well-mannered dogs in a quiet home environment and beautiful, low traffic neighborhoods. We don’t have pet and your pet will be the ONLY VIP guest in my home. No stress from other dogs, 100% focused attention. My approach is built on reliability and structure: • Routine Consistency: We strictly follow your feeding schedules, and potty breaks to minimize anxiety and house training accidents. • Safety First: Walks are always leash-secure and planned around quieter, low-traffic routes in our immediate neighborhood. My priority is preventing incidents, not reacting to them. • Clear Communication: You will receive detailed photo and written updates daily, covering their mood, appetite, and activity level. I’m a part-time graduate student. So I’m home most of the time. I also have a car and can drive to places needed. Here are the key blocks: • Mornings (7-1 PM): Structured walk, meal prep, and supervised rest during my focus work/study hours. • Afternoons (1-5 PM): Potty breaks, and active companionship from my partner and me. • Evenings (5 PM On): Dinner, a longer structured walk, and quiet wind-down time before bed. In short: Your dog receives attentive care. Consistency and safety are our priorities. Me and my partner live in a house without pets. Unlike sitters who manage multiple dogs from different homes, I limit bookings to one family's pet at a time, ensuring 100% focused attention and minimizing external unsafe factors. Although I have a backyard, for maximum safety and security, I do NOT leave dogs unsupervised in the backyard. All outdoor time consists of active, leashed walks in our beautiful, quiet neighborhood. This ensures zero risk of escape and keeps your pup clean and safe.

“Clinton gave us detailed updates with humor and diligence. When the shy cat would not emerge he made an effort to find him to see if he was okay. He also noted the amount of food that was left which helped us to make meal plan decisions for finicky felines.”

About: 🐾 Animal Experience I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs and cats. In my home country, I was actively involved in rescuing and caring for animals in need, helping them recover, rehabilitate, and find safety and comfort again. Through this experience, I have learned how to handle animals with different temperaments, ages, and emotional needs, from shy and anxious pets to very active and social ones. I developed a strong sense of patience, observation, and calm energy when working with animals. This long-term experience has given me the ability to quickly understand each pet’s behavior and respond in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and cared for. As I am home full-time, I can adapt my daily routine to each dog's individual needs, providing constant companionship, supervision, and personalized care throughout their stay. Mornings: We start the day with a safe, supervised walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some time to settle in comfortably. During the day: I stay home throughout the day, so dogs are never left alone for long periods. They enjoy supervised playtime in our fully fenced private backyard, along with plenty of indoor companionship, relaxation, and personalized attention. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for according to their usual routine. Afternoons and evenings: We go for a second walk to help them burn energy and maintain a balanced routine. Afterward, they can relax and enjoy family time indoors. I also send daily photo and video updates so owners can stay connected and have peace of mind while they are away. My Home & Care Policy To provide a safe, calm, and stress-free environment, I only accept dogs. My home features a fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time under supervision. We are a quiet, family-oriented household with a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment. My husband is a veterinarian, which reflects our family's love and respect for animals; however, I am the primary caregiver and personally responsible for the daily care and attention of every dog in my home. My goal is for every guest to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home during their stay. 🐾❤️ 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide a calm, structured, and closely supervised environment where pets are never left unattended and always feel protected and cared for. Trust is built through consistency, patience, and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, routines, and comfort levels so they feel secure and relaxed during their stay. I also offer a clean, smoke-free, and environmentally friendly home with access to a private fenced green yard and nearby parks. This allows pets to enjoy fresh air, nature, and safe outdoor stimulation in a controlled and responsible way. My goal is to create a peaceful balance between safety, trust, and a healthy environment where pets can feel at home, calm, and happy.

“Yuqing was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my two cats during our vacation. She was very responsible and attentive at every visit — always making sure to clean the litter box, change food bowls, refill water, and spend time playing with them. She also carefully observed their behaviour and promptly updated me on how they were doing. I especially appreciated the adorable photo updates — more than 25 pictures each time! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were in such caring hands. Highly recommended!”
