Yujie is an amazing cat sitter! I was nervous about leaving my cat home alone for a week, but knowing Yujie would visit every day and give her plenty of attention completely put my mind at ease. She’s trustworthy, punctual, and highly responsive. Yujie provided regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my cat was happy and well cared for. She even did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and my cat instantly felt comfortable with her. Highly recommend!!

Deborah was absolutely amazing with Ernie(our St.Bernard/Poodle). She came and met him and was gentle and soft spoken and only took a few minutes to see the connections. She communicated extremely well, and sent pictures and video updates while caring for Ernie, which was amazing. Ernie seemed to be very happy and we would definitely be calling on Deborah in the future.

About: Lifelong Animal Lover Offering Personalized Care—Because Your Dog Deserves the Best I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. My days revolve around my own dogs and their comfort—and your pup will be treated with that same level of love, attention, and care. As a mature, responsible caregiver with excellent communication, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, along with walks tailored to their individual needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I’m experienced with all stages of life. I live in a house with a yard and two dogs of my own. I only take one dog (or two from same household) at a time so it’s not too much excitement. Or I’ll come to your home as needed!

Melanie did a great job of caring for my two cats while I was away for a few days. Since both cats are older they require medication at certain times of the day. Melanie was able to do this. Melanie was also very good about communicating her observations of the cats and providing pictures at each visit. I will not hesitate to book her services in the future.

We are so lucky to have John as our dog walker! He’s incredibly reliable and always professional. Our dog absolutely loves him, and we feel completely at ease knowing our furry friend is in great hands. He’s not just a dog walker, but a genuinely classy and caring person. We couldn’t ask for better care for our dog and highly recommend John to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and awesome. Thank you for everything, John!

About: I went to college for Veterinary Assisting in 2019, and have had various experiences. I've worked in Vet clinics and hospitals and frequently pet sit for friends and family. I have a huge love of animals of every kind! From the furry, to the scaly, and even the feathered! I have experience working with animals from all stages of life, as well as furry friends with specialized diets. Put your faith in me and you won't be disappointed! I am currently working a job that involves me being there 5 days a week: Monday & Friday 2:30-6, and Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday 12:30-6, but are able to make morning visits, evening visits and even overnight if needed. Weekends are completely available to me and can take time off for your furry friends if needed. This is dependent on the species, breed and what their specific needs are. For example, in college, I owned 2 rats who needed consistent enrichment activities, regular baths and grooming, as well as all the love and snuggles they wanted! They both lived 2 very long happy lives up until and even past their life expectancy. I now own a large and thriving aquarium which I love and adore.

We booked 2 drop-in visits with Lois so we can enjoy dinner in Banff without our dogs, Maggie and Kevin. Communication was excellent and Lois was very flexible with the drop-off and pick-up times. We felt comfortable leaving Maggie and Kevin in Lois’ care. During dinner, Lois would send picture and video updates of their activities which we appreciated. Our energetic puppy was happy and exhausted at pick-up. We would book with Lois again.
