House Sitting in Norfolk County

About: A lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all kinds! I’ve been the designated pet-sitter for family and friends for over a decade now, and I have experience caring for many different birds, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, cats, and dogs! I love all animals, even the ones deemed “weird” or “creepy”! My husband and I fostered cats for 5 years, and I am comfortable and experienced in giving oral medication, as well as working with medically fragile animals. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I am available most days, including during weekends and evenings. I am happy to work with you to make sure we can find a time that works best for you and your pet/s! I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, showing them nothing but love and respect. I look forward to meeting your pet and getting to know their unique personality!

“Christi did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Amy. From the moment they met, Amy absolutely loved her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Christi was reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoys what she does. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Exceptional Care - Rebecca is Simply the Best! We cannot say enough wonderfull things about Rebecca! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our beloved Charley Girl. Throughout our trip, Rebecca kept us updated with pictures and sweet reassurances that Charley was doing well. It gave us peace of mind knowing our girl was in good hands. Rebecca is not only trustworthy and kind, she also goes above and beyond in every way. When our flight home was unexpectedly cancelled, Rebecca didn't miss a beat. She had been tracking our flight and was able to accommodate the extra day without any hesitation. That level of attentiveness and flexibility is truly rare and so appreciated. When we arrived home, we were greeted by a very happy dog, as well as a very clean home. Rebecca's professionalism and care for both our pet and home exceeded all expectations. We would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again - although probably not for a while because we missed our Charley Girl so much that we likely won't be travelling anytime soon! Thank you Rebecca for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby! ♥️”

“We recently had Josey stay with our dog Oliver overnight. We can’t say enough good things about the experience. She came for a pre-visit a few weeks before to get to know Ollie and we felt super comfortable leaving him in her care. Her communication is prompt and thorough and she checked in regularly and sent photos to ease our mind. It is obvious that she is very experienced and genuinely loves dogs. Ollie loved his stay with Josey and hopes to see her again really soon!”

“Paula is awesome! We were nervous about leaving our special needs little pug with her, but she made a couple of visits out to our house ahead of time, got to know him and his needs, and he felt so comfortable with her straight away we knew he would be in good hands. She cares a lot about the animals left in her care, and we’re so grateful for her 🫶”

About: I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with over 20 years of fostering experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience supporting pets with different needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs, including following feeding schedules, monitoring behavior, and administering routine care as instructed. I understand how important consistency and attentiveness are when caring for pets with medical needs, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to maintain their regular routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication support, or simply companionship, I provide calm, reliable, and loving care. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing a safe, nurturing, and stress-free pet sitting experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can provide regular potty breaks, timely meals, walks, medication support, and plenty of companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure their routines are followed closely and their individual needs are met. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, quiet rest, or extra monitoring for pets with medical needs, I’m able to give them consistent attention and supervision. Working from home allows me to be reliable, responsive, and adaptable, ensuring pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for as part of my everyday routine. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, pets have access to a large yard and a secure, fenced-in dog run, giving them plenty of safe space for exercise, play, and fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets are comfortable, engaged, and safe. Inside, pets are treated like part of my family. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, medications, and rest to help them feel at home and reduce stress. I provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure pets receive the same level of attention, consistency, and love they’re used to, including maintaining their normal schedules and providing updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure and cared for—just as if they were my own.

“Nika was amazing during her week looking after Nori. I immediately felt confident in her abilities just through her first interactions with our nervous rescue - who gave her the belly flop of love after about 2 minutes! She ever so kindly did a second meet and greet with us the day before we left and asked enough for me to feel like she really cared for Nori’s well-being. During our time away, Nika gave us plenty of updates each day, continuing to double check things and let us know about any even minor changes or events. She left the house spotless and our pup well-loved and tired out from a week of playtime and walkies!”

“Brandon was fantastic looking after our dogs and our home. He was super responsive, sent lots of photos and regular updates, and we always felt confident the dogs were happy and well cared for. He also left the house spotless when we got back, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Brandon and look forward to having him watch our dogs again!!”

“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.”

About: Recently I spent five months pet sitting in BC. I thoroughy enjoyed spending time with various dogs in their homes. I found that the dogs felt comfortable and at ease in their own homes while their owners knew their pets were well taken care of. Each day was a new adventure as we walked along lakes and mountains paths. I am a recently retired teacher looking for new opportunities and adventure to fill my time. I have a flexible schedule to suit your petsitting needs. As a pet owner in the past, I know how important safety is to a pet owner.

“Rachel took my babies into her house when my partner and I went on vacation. She was willing to accommodate their needs (spoiled babies) and stick to their routine and schedule as best as possible. Rachel was quick to response to messages, and sent me updates with occasional pictures that made my day during our vacation. I also appreciate that she was flexible with the drop off and pick up times to accommodate our flight schedule. We would be happy to book her again and definitely recommend her.”
