First time leaving my 6 month old pup for a night but I had peace of mind knowing he'd be in good hands with Emma. He loves visiting to see his friend Luna, and even likes the cat. He slept the night no problem.

Sonya is amazing in every way. She was very easy to communicate with and so accommodating! She sent us daily updates and pictures and even offered to meet us and our dog before the drop-off. We came home to a very happy pup. I think he had a better vacation than we did. Don't hesitate to book Sonya. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

About: I have experience with positive reinforcement dog training and care, from young dogs to seniors that are blind, deaf, have allergies, need medications, ones that have special needs and diets, or rescues with PTSD. I currently work from home most days a month so I will be present and allow for as many bio breaks as they might need. If there are days I am required in the office, every effort will be made to ensure prompt return. When I have to run errands, I try my best to keep my time away to a few hours max. This is a fur babies come first home which is my principal foundation of how they will be loved and cared for. I have a bungalow style home which is great for pets that struggle with stairs. Even the sofa and bed are situated to accommodate accessibility for seniors and littles that want to be independent and make themselves at home. Do you have a little that isn’t a fan of taking potty breaks in the rain or snow? We have a little protected area for those that are particular. We also have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet area that is surrounded by nature, not far from the rails to trails. I also have two laid back senior toy poodles that will help keep your fur baby company and feel at ease. If there are any special circumstances or concerns you have regarding their routine and care, please let me know so I can ensure we maintain consistency. Each pet is different in personality and in what they need to be happy and cared for.

David and Emma were fantastic with our dog, Stanley. He has quite a few quirky routines and specific needs, and they took excellent care of him and followed everything perfectly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them look after Stanley again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals throughout my life. I bring 15+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including working in two veterinary clinics and teaching canine and equine first aid. I provide reliable, attentive and compassionate care and am happy to follow each pet's individual routine and needs. I have a flexible schedule and am generally available Sunday to Saturday with daytime availability for drop-in visits, dog walks and pet care. I am also open to occasional weekend and overnight bookings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active and spend time caring for my own animals, including my horses and cats. I can work with individual pet routines and am happy to provide regular updates to owners while they are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality and individual needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions for feeding, exercise, medications and other care. My experience working in two veterinary clinics, along with my Canine and Equine First Aid Instructor training, gives me confidence recognizing changes in an animal's health or behaviour and responding appropriately if a concern arises. Whether caring for pets in their own home or providing visits, I aim to keep their environment calm, familiar and stress-free. I will also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they are away.

About: Very comfortable with medication administration and any special needs your dog or puppy may need. Nurse by profession with a great love for all animals. I’m available from 5pm Friday until Monday morning 8am full care. If you have other needs through the week please message to discuss - here to help in any way with your pet care needs. My golden retriever Wilson both has free rein of the home and comfortable in his kennel. I would prefer kennel trained but if well mannered - fine to have free in the house.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, structured, home environment I provide. I only take 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so your dog gets real attention—not a crowded, chaotic setting. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks, plus I’m home often so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I focus on keeping dogs relaxed, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m experienced with: dogs who need a quieter space Crate training (I have a large crate available if preferred) Multi-dog supervision with safe introductions and monitoring Basic routine consistency (feeding, walks, rest times) Inside, dogs have cozy spots to relax, and I keep things clean and organized. I also send regular photo updates, so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is simple: your dog feels like they’re staying in a safe, loving home—not a kennel. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I own a local business that is fully staffed, which allows me to be home most of the day. I’m not tied to a 9–5 schedule, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine includes regular outdoor time in my fully fenced yard, walks, feeding on your dog’s schedule, and plenty of relaxed indoor time. Because I’m home so often, dogs are rarely left alone and can settle into a calm, low-stress environment. I’ve built my schedule specifically to support pet care, so your dog isn’t just being “fit in”—they’re part of my daily routine and receive consistent, attentive care from morning to evening. I provide personalized, in-home care designed to give each dog a calm, safe, and comfortable experience—very different from a high-volume or kennel-style setting. I intentionally limit bookings to just 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so every dog receives focused attention and consistent supervision. Care in my home is structured around your dog’s routine, including daily walks, regular time in my fully fenced backyard, and relaxed indoor living in a clean, cozy space. Dogs are treated like part of the household, with access to comfortable lounging areas and a low-stress environment where they can settle in naturally. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach to introductions and group dynamics, ensuring dogs are compatible and comfortable. I closely monitor behavior and can provide separation or crating if preferred, always prioritizing safety and your dog’s individual needs. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and receive consistent care, attention, and supervision from morning through evening. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to offer a premium, home-based experience where your dog feels secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for—not just looked after.

Ilana was a great cat sitter. She took amazing care of our cat Ari at her house while we were away on vacation. We received lots of pictures and updates every day, which was appreciated. We felt very comfortable leaving our cat with her and wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future. He loves his new toy and hasn't stopped playing with it since he came home.

It was a very important day and Suzie came in like a rock star along with her husband. I would highly recommend Suzie to anyone!!

I felt comfortable leaving her with him, he gave me updates throughout the day and was overall a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend him to any pup parent! :)

Megan was great! My Wife and I went to our daughter's graduation at Del and needed someone to take care of our 8 month old Siberian Husky, Eva. We are from a long distance away and were worried about who we could trust with Eva. After careful consideration, we decided to ask Megan as she would take Eva in her home, she has a beautiful dog of her own, and she has a good area to take the dogs outdoors. All day long Megan kept us very well update (with pictures) on how Eva was doing. I would definitely recommend Megan to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Also, Megan's dog is awsome! I would offer to take her anytime if Megan needed a sitter if she was in our area. Thank you Megan
