1. Jessica J.

“Jessica is kind and has an easygoing manner with both people and dogs - she is proactive in planning, responsible and trustworthy. We had no worries leaving our dogs at home in her care, and came home to happy, relaxed dogs. Jessica is and was always responsive and sent photos of the dogs to ease us missing them. I would hire Jessica again in an instant, and highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”


2. Al W.

“Al was great! This was the first time we have left our dogs (two small dogs) - of course they come with us when we visit friends and family. Also, we work at home so they really haven't been away from us for more than a few hours at a time. I was nervous to leave them but also really needed a vacation! When we (including our pups) first met Al, I started to relax, I felt they would be well cared for. And, they were! We were away for 6 days, Al took care of everything and is very responsive. I would definitely recommend Al to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


3. Hayley S.

“I highly recommend Hayley to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet while they’re away. She is fantastic with my 16 month old pup Fawn, who can be both hyper and skittish at times. Fawn responds so well to Hayley’s calm but fun energy. I couldn’t be happier with her services.”


4. Edith O.

“It is a pleasure to have Edith in our home. She is punctual, attentive to Aussie and Winston and leaves our home tidy and organized. Highly recommend Edith!”


5. Annika J.

“Annika was wonderful! She kept Chubbs and my chickens happy while I was out of town. So happy she was available and would definitely recommend :-)”


6. Ella V.
“Ella has been fantastic with my dog, always on time, friendly, and clearly loves what she does. My pup comes home happy and tired after every walk. I'm so grateful to have found someone so dependable and kind!”


7. Emma C.

“Emma was so caring for my anxious dog, laying with her in the bed when she got unsettled after I left. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Emma dog sit for me again!”


8. Becca W.

“Becca is excellent! My house looked better than it did before I left on vacation! ! My pup was so well cared for. Can’t say enough. Didn’t worry once and highly recommend!”


9. Nancy K.
“Nancy is a phenomenal host! I boarded my car Coffee with her for one month. I was so nervous because it was my first time boarding my cat, so I wrote down a lot of instructions and my cat’s weird habits. Nancy followed all of them, and sent me pictures and updates every single day! Coffee is always so happy and being himself in every picture. He also became good friends with Nancy’s cat, which is so cute! It’s such a relief to know that my fur baby is taken good care of and loved when I’m so far away. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to every cat owner!”


10. Carly S.

“Carly was wonderful with my anxious dog Ruby. Asked lots of questions and made sure she was comfortable the whole day! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Carly dog sit for me again!”


11. Kaitlyn W.

“Kaitlyn is a trustworthy house sitter who has cared for our pup for two years in a row now. Her care for Zelda is exceptional and our home was very thoughtfully maintained (including keeping our driveway shovelled during one of the biggest snow storms in recent memory).”


12. Aprisheh J.
“I don't know a more compassionate and caring animal lover. Our dogs took to her instantly and I trusted their instinct. She is loving, kind and very patient with my older dog (10years old). The dogs know what time she arrives for their walk and they sit patiently waiting for her. She is a gem.”


13. Salvatore G.
About: Have had dogs most of my life. Everything from a Chihuahua to a Rottweiller and German Shephard. Have always loved dogs. Look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs. My schedule is quite flexible. I am willing to travel to homes in Aurora, Newmarket and parts of King City. We currently have a rescue from Georgia. We have also rescued a racing Greyhound and a Siberian Husky. Will also apply my dog training experience while walking your dog. We have lived in Newmarket for 3 1/2 years. Prior to that we lived in Richmond Hill. Our previous dogs lived a long time which is a testament to how well we took care of them. Our Rottweiller and Siberian Husky lived to almost 15 years old. I am retired. So my schedule is in my control. I am able to be available for furry friends as needed. Looking forward to new 4 legged friends. When looking after your pet, they will become a part of our family. They will get lots of attention. Have access to our large yard and go multiple walks per day.


14. Sara P.

“During our week-long vacation in the Bahamas, Sara took exceptional care of our dog, Bowie. We were initially anxious about leaving him with someone he didn’t know, but as soon as Sara walked in, Bowie immediately connected with her. Even our 1-year-old son felt comfortable around her. Sara exudes a kind and gentle energy that assured us Bowie was in good hands. Opting to stay at our home, she catered to Bowie's comfort, which is crucial given his tendency to get anxious in new places. Sara took him on long, enjoyable walks multiple times a day and showered him with attention. We're immensely grateful to Sara for her kindness and care towards Bowie. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our furry family member.”


15. Jessica C.
“Jessica is an amazing person - her love for animals is unconditional. Jessica uses positive reinforcement to communicate with animals and I can say as a retired dog trainer Jessica is par excellence!”


16. Abbey R.

“Abbey came to your house to look after our dog for just over a week. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Abbey is so kind and caring. She provided daily updates with recaps of the day, as well as pictures and videos. I think our dog (who is normally pretty shy and anxious) had the best week ever! Our house was maintained beautifully and was spotless on our return. Abbey even coped with a power surge and the alarm going off, a garage door malfunction and an ice storm without blinking! I would highly recommend Abbey for any pet sitting position.”
17. Melanie M.

“We look forward to having Melanie look after Tilly again soon. Nice to have a wonderful person look free our girl Tilly!”


18. Elizabeth K.
About: Hi! I have taken care of animals my entire life (25+ years of experience. Whether your furry friend is big or small, I’ve done it all. I offer day & night care (walks, feedings, bathroom breaks, etc.) and boarding services (in your home & mine). I work an occasional-part time job and freelance, so I have tons of time for your pet. I love getting outside so a walk or two (or three!) a day makes for a great day. I offer feeding, litter cleaning/potty breaks, basic grooming, walks, playtime, cuddles & affection. It is the same no matter whose house I am in. I have a house with a pool in the backyard, so boarded pets at my house generally use the front outdoor space per the owner’s discretion.


19. raz z.
“Raz did an outstanding job looking after our dog, Luna! It was easy to see how much care and attention Raz gives to every pet. Luna was happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her time with Raz. The daily updates and photos were so reassuring, and it’s clear Raz goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Raz to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable pet sitter!”


20. Emma M.
“I am thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Emma Mooney. From the moment I enlisted her services, it became evident that she is more than just a dog-walking service; she is a devoted pet enthusiast committed to providing an exceptional experience for both dogs and their owners. Emma has mastered the art of creating joyous outings for our furry companions. Every walk is an adventure filled with excitement, play, and socialization. Her genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction, fostering a positive environment that has undoubtedly enhanced my pet's overall well-being. What sets Emma apart is her commitment to personalized care. Before the first walk, she took the time to understand my dog's unique personality, preferences, and any special requirements. This level of attention to detail has translated into tailored walks that cater to my pet's specific needs, ensuring a happy and stress-free experience for all of us. Reliability is another noteworthy aspect of her service. Punctuality is second nature to Emma, providing me with peace of mind knowing that my dog is in capable hands. Her consistent communication, including real-time updates and adorable photos from each outing, adds an extra layer of reassurance. In summary, Emma is not just a dog walker; she is a dedicated professional who goes above and beyond to create a positive and enriching experience for our beloved pets. If you're seeking a dog walker that treats your furry friend with the utmost care, consideration, and enthusiasm, Emma is the pawsitively perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet owner seeking top-notch, personalized care for their canine companions. - Ruth Eddolls”
