“Sarah provided exceptional care for our two kitties while we were traveling. She took care of them like they were her own. We got daily videos and photos which were so appreciated and the kitties absolutely loved her! She kept us informed about them and really put us at ease knowing our kitties were being well cared for. We would absolutely reach out to Sarah again next time we're traveling. Thank you so much Sarah!”


“Danya was awesome! I left her with 4 cats, one was in surgical recovery. All of them are usually very nervous but not with Danya. Danya's updates were in great detail, well written and with endless pictures. She took the time to get to know my cats. Each one was described to the T. When I got home, my cats were as if I never left. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my cats as well as myself. I strongly recommend Danya.”


“I had the pleasure of having Wing as my drop-in sitter for over a month while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is extremely responsible, always on time, and truly kind to my two cats. Wing took great care of them — refilling their food, changing their water, cleaning the litter box, and even helping with the water tank for my vacuum robot. As a cat owner who misses their pets dearly while traveling, I was especially grateful for the photos and videos Wing sent during every visit. They brought me so much comfort and peace of mind, knowing my cats were well cared for and happy. I truly appreciate her dedication and care — it made all the difference during my time away. Highly recommended!”


About: Growing up, my mom was terrified of dogs, so I had pretty much accepted the heartbreaking idea that having one of my own would always be just a dream. That all changed when my girlfriend’s family brought home a goldendoodle. I was there for every milestone—his first zoomies, his awkward puppy phases, his goofy charm. A few years (and a wedding!) later, we welcomed a dog (Aussiecollie) of our own into our lives. Since then, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pups at every stage—from cute but mischievous puppies to wise old senior doggos. Whether it’s the everyday stuff like feeding and walking, or the quirky tasks like removing eye boogers and cleaning ear, I’ve done it all with love. Whether your dog’s a couch potato, a squirrel chaser, or a professional slipper thief—I’m here for it. Book with me, and I’ll make sure your pup has a fun time! I work from home and usually home on the weekends so my schedule is flexible to care for pets, whether it be taking them for a walk, overnight stay or drop in visit. I will treat every dog with the same level of care and love, I do with my dog. Communication is key and i will make sure I understand the dog parent expectations of me so I can take care of their dog.

“As a nervous pet-parent, I couldn’t be more blessed to have found Vanessa to look after my dog when I’m away. Her impressive experience and love of animals showed during our meet and greet and when she looked after our little guy. He adores her! I’ve already rebooked her for our next trip away and I’m reassured having her look after him.”


“Selina was great to work with! I had to change plans last minute due a health issue with one of my cats, and she was understanding and worked with me. She was punctual and very communicative (and sent photos and video). All the kitties loved her!”


“It was a pleasure having Niroji watch Milo and Teddy. The updates throughout the evening were fantastic. The fact she was available to help us out was great as it was very last minute. We will most definitely not hesitate to have her sit for us again. A wonderful experience all around. thank you Steve Morin”

“Pamela (and Matthew) were great with Tingz!! If you have a cat, book with Pamela. Tingz is generally slow to warm up to people but now she comes to the door to greet her! My cat also receives oral medications daily as well as a subcutaneous injection every 2 days. After a quick demonstration of each she was able to administer both to Tingz which really put my mind on my vacation. Long story short, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Pamela and Matthew!”

Yovanis L.
“AWESOME!!! I cannot say enough how well DOGGO CREW takes care of my pups. I was quite nervous to leave Chole & Zoe with anyone the first time, due to last minute family emergency I had no choice. When I met them the first time, this nervousness subsided quickly. The husband and wife team were so kind and professional to accept me the last minute. After that, my furkids are always happy to see The Crew when we go away for long weekends and vacations. Chole & Zoe squeals with joy when they walk into their home. They get lots of playtime together with Moana and absolutely adores her. In fact, they learnt to fetch within their stay. Once, Chole had upset stomach, you can tell they have the patience and expertise to care for her, they really love animals like their family. We look forward to another vacation for ourselves and one for the girls soon.”
