House Sitting Norfolk County

“Aaron did a great job taking care of our 2 giant fur babies, our home and our plants! He provided updates and pictures and I felt secure that everything was well taken care of while we were away for 5 days. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house and peace of mind! I would happily hire him again next time we go away.”

“Thanks again Chloe for everything - multiple stays while we were away on a vacation and everything went smoothly and all our pets were well-cared for and happy :)”

“Sara was once again incredible with our babies and we enjoyed our peaceful time away without stress. They know and trust her, and she treats them like she would her own. Last time she watched all 5 dogs, 2 bunnies and 1 cat and this time 4 dogs as one came with us on our trip! They are a handful and she has no problem with them including giving meds and special meal requirements! Thank you Sara!! You’re the best :)”

About: I've never had a time in my life when there was not a pet in my home. From a young age I was taking care of my family pet as well as neighbors when they went away. All of my personal pets have been adopted and have been family to me. Over the last few years, friends and family have repeatedly chosen me to care for their pets especially when they travel becaise I have the flexibility to stay in their homes. I currently have free time most days including evenings and weekends. I am available for daily walks and overnight stays within the St Thomas area. I typically stay in the clients home to minimize the confusion and stress in a pets life that comes when their family goes away. I walk myself everyday, so when requested I am available to take your pet on a walk more than once a day if required.

“Nina came to watch over the house and dog sit for a few days and I could not be happier with the experience. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a house/dog-sitter.”

“Laura was amazing!! First time leaving my new puppy so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Laura was fantastic. Great with communication (lots of photos and updates) and really cared to keep up the puppy training I’m doing. Very responsible (even with an unexpected house issue) I knew I was leaving my dog (and house) in capable hands. Will definitely use Laura’s again! Highly recommend.”

“Ania was great with our pets! They have some medical needs that she handled quite well and was great at keeping to their schedule. All three of them seemed to have a good time and were happy when we got home!”

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

“This is our second booking with Caroline - it went just as well as the first. She is very responsive and great to work with and shows genuine care for our boys.”

About: Pet sitting (Longterm): 30 bucks a day Pet day care (Daily): 25 bucks a day -5 for under 4 hours +5 for over 12 hours +5 for last minute changes Child tutoring: 20 bucks an hour Child sitting: 15 bucks an hour I grew up around pets, I love animals though I don’t currently have any of my own. I have a house with a fenced back yard and lots of space. I've been doing this for years now and have had plenty of experience and happy clients! I’m a chill friendly person. Also patient. I grew up with 3 dogs and 5 parrots so I have plenty of animal experience. I've also had a number of successful and happy customers here and on Kijiji where more positive reviews can be found under 99% Geek Sitting! The Terms of Service prevent me from telling people to seek me off the app, and only allow me to say that it's safer to stay in the app. They monitor conversations and penalize harshly! I live near the intersection of Charlton and Locke and would be happy to host your pets here, but if you would rather I can be talked into other arrangements. I can also do 'sitting for kids, or tutoring, I'm knowledgeable in many areas. I've also spent time on Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace and offered a discount at 25 a day but obviously it doesn't offer you the same safety you get here, and it's against the rules to ask you to find me there, so I wont. "Kerri Murtland January 12th 2026 Geek99% is an absolute legend! I swear by his service. I have made him my permanent dog care provider. Geek99% is flexible, dependable, dedicated, supportive, friendly and always willing to take care of my dog last minute. 10/10 highly recommended services" "Taylor Simmons May 16, 2025 We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Andrew! He took care of our dog, Suki, for three months while we searched for a new home, and throughout the entire time, he went above and beyond. Andrew kept us regularly updated with messages and photos which gave us so much peace of mind. Every time we visited Suki, she was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. It was obvious she was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care and attention Andrew gave her — he's truly someone you can trust with your pet." I'm always available, as a writer and agoraphobic I don't get out much. You can find me here any day of the week and weekends. I'm attentive, kind, empathetic, understanding and patient. I love animals. I grew up with them, but I don't have the money or resources to have my own. I think being able to earn money getting to hang out with cool animals and chill with them sounds like the dream. I'm responsible, loving, and stable.
