2. Samenda B.
“Leaving your animals can be hard. And we have a new rescue dogs leaving our old sweet senior with the new rescue felt really actually a bit scary. Samenda came over beforehand and met the dogs and of course they loved her immediately. They were so incredibly happy with her the entire two weeks we were away and it means the world to me to know that I can leave my babies home and enjoy my life and everybody’s safe and happy.”

“Madison is wonderful with animals. She's dog sat for myself and family friends numerous times and always goes above and beyond. She provides frequent updates, has great attention to detail, and really cares for our furry friends. I could not recommend her more for anyone looking for an A+ pet sitter.”

“Richelle is excellent with my cats, attention to detail in their care which is so important to me! One of them has food allergies and they are particular about their food. She’s reliable and punctual and always a pleasure to deal with. My cats almost don’t notice I’m away. I’m excited for her to share these pet caring qualities with others, I know for me; knowing my cats are happy and taken care of it’s what’s most important !!!”
8. Tasia M.
“My high energy dogs love Tasia and they’re always happy and healthy when I get home after Tasia has walked them. Will definitely book her again!”
9. Easton N.
“I have known Easton since he was in high school and am very pleased to recommend him very highly. He has looked after our pets on several occasions, at times for prolonged periods (weeks) with great skill. We have 2 dogs, a small cavapoo that thinks everyone is their friend, but is not the most reliable in traffic, and a very energetic but at times unpredictable aussie doodle. He has taken awesome care of them and has shown that he can manage a variety of doggy personalities and situations. (He has even looked after our chameleon). He is has been super reliable, responsible and very caring (the dogs are delighted whenever they see him) and I recommend him very highly.”
10. Eden K.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was small, and I have such a genuine love for all animals, and I have experience with huge horses and tiny hermit crabs, so shoot me a message and I’d love to help! I’m currently going to school part-time and trying to make sure I can continue doing so, and I love animals and hanging out with them makes homework easier. I like to say I cater toward your pet’s personality. If your cat is cuddly, great, let’s hangout while I read a book. If your dog is shy, cool, I’ll give him treats and mind my own business. I’m super flexible and can adapt when needed

“As a dog-walker, our experience with Tessa has been extremely positive. She has been very pleasant and reliable, enthusiastic even on rainy days! Stella, our Cavalier spaniel is delighted to see Tessa, wagging her tail vigourously when she comes to take her for a walk. Tessa grew up with large dogs, and now has her own Havanese. I would highly recommend Tessa!”

16. Hope L.
“Hope has been great with Charlie! He's an older guy and needs someone who is incredibly patient with his old man moods and days when he just wants to be slow. On days when Hope walks him, he is extra excited when we get home from work and I can tell he loves the added attention mid-day. We love having Hope walk Charlie, and I think Charlie would agree.”
17. Tatiana K.
“Fozzie had a great adventure on a windy day! Tatiana was very flexible with our brunch reservation timing and location, and finding Fozzie some great sights and smells! Can’t wait to visit the city again soon and rebook with Tatiana.”
18. Jenna F.
About: I have owned and fostered both cats and dogs, of various sizes & ages. (Including newborn kittens!) Many of my neighbours back home in Calgary trusted me with their cats and dogs as a frequent house/pet sitter. Additionally, as a past PetSmart employee I have some bonus knowledge :) I am a student in the UVIC social work program that is completely online. Monday-Friday I work a split shift so I am totally free between 9:30AM and 2PM. This leaves the rest of my schedule generally very flexible for dog walking/dog sitting I am a very respectful house / pet sitter and ensure to leave the space as I find it. Pet wellbeing is incredibly important to me and I understand the trust owner’s put into sitters, and strive to exceed expectations.
19. Mayheve R.
“Mayhève is a very loving, happy, caring and responsible human being. She's respectful to herself, other humans and pets. She always lived in a safe environment and knows what that entails. She's healthy, energetic to take care of any kind of pet. When around pets they absolutely love her and visa versa. She's an awesome person for having all these traits and pets can sense that she's a wonderful human by their loving happy reaction towards her.”
