“Raidz basically made a liar of me when Vania stayed at our place. I told Vania she will ignore her as she doesn't like other people. Raidz took to Vania right away, rubbing against her, letting her pet her and showing Vania her belly ! Loki also loved her right away. Being his first time away from his Mama, he was confused and wasn't eating properly but Vania was incredibly gentle and patient with him and was able to get him eating. It is obvious Vania is very much an animal person the way the kitties were around her. It was very comforting to see videos everyday and know my babies were being looked after ! Thank you Vania !!”
“I am absolutely in awe of how amazing Linda was! We went on a trip to Mexico and she stayed at our house to take care of Peaches. She is caring and great at communicating. Sent regular updates, and responded promptly to messages. I am so happy I have found someone to take care of Peaches if we travel, it takes a massive load off!”
“Taylor is a fantastic pet sitter. She’s reliable, professional, and clearly experienced with all kinds of animals. Even though my cat is on the grumpier side and hasn’t fully warmed up to her (yet!), Taylor is always patient and respectful of her space. She gives great updates and makes sure everything is taken care of. I really appreciate the peace of mind knowing my pet is in capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter!”
“Amyaz and Shareefa were amazing! They really went above and beyond when taking care of Leo. I can tell that they really care about pets and tried their best to keep Leo happy and fed while we were travelling. Also, loved the regular updates. It really made travelling less stressful knowing that our cat was safe and well looked after. Thank you so much Amyaz and Shareefa!”
“Another great week of our Athena with Jeff and Raissa. We returned to happy and healthy dog, house sparkling clean, and flowers for us!!!! Jeff is extremely loving and caring towards dogs. Athena had 24 hours attention from both of them and this constant presence of someone in the house definitely made up for our absence (we highly appreciate it). We have mountains of proof that she was in best hands. He let her abuse him and snuggled in his bed (which she's not allowed to do with us) and we find it so sweet and loving act on Jeff's part. Jeff adjusts to what a dog needs, not the other way around. He understands that the owner's absence is disturbing to a pet and he does all to make up for it. When we returned from vacation, Athena didn't show any signs of distress, moved back into her routine with us smoothly and this is the best testimony that her week was also relaxed.. Thank you Jeff and till the next time.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds since I was 5 years old. I currently have an 11 year old English Bulldog that I adopted from the shelter 6 months ago and love dearly. I am excited to begin my education in animal care (ACA) this year and ultimately join the team at the Humane Society. I have previous experience as a dog walker and am comfortable with dogs of all temperaments. Whether friendly and care-free, or nervous and reactive, I love all dogs and getting to know all sorts of personalities. I am currently a manager in the hospitality industry but will be leaving to pursue an education and career in animal care. My studies are 50% in class and 50% virtual so that allows me much flexibility for dog walking and sitting. I’m also in the process of virtually volunteering with a rescue on Texas as an animal adoption co-ordinator, which is fulfilling work in my free free time. I care for all animals like they were my own. I am a responsible, truste, experienced house, pet and babysitter. I enjoy cleaning and organization so you can trust me to keep your home just as tidy as you left it and your pets healthy, happy and groomed!
“My pup, Bruce felt very comfortable with Keyla . She was on time and kept in touch through the day. It helped me feel at ease having her look after Bruce in my home. We will be calling upon her again!”
About: I have 7 years of experience training my high energy working line German Shepard Koda! Apart from dog sitting and dog walking, I can also provide some basic to intermediate training for your doggo to help with physical and mental stimulation! I mainly work in the morning until around 11am and have the rest of the day to myself! After work I walk/play fetch with my dog Koda and work on some obedience. I have lots of time to walk your dogs too! I will always respect my client’s home if I am providing services for their dog in their dwelling. Asking questions to make sure there is no misunderstanding, so both parties are happy with the mutual interaction. Also sending regular check in messages to the owners with lots of pictures!
About: I raised my own Westie, who passed in November. I am an animal lover and looking to stay active. I am great with pets of all ages and look forward to meeting your fur baby. I’m working a 9-5 from Monday to Saturday and free for your pet any evening or anytime on Sundays. I still find myself with plenty of energy after work. I am comfortable tailoring my routine to the pet. I want them to feel comfortable and not drift from their routine. I would love to shower them with attention and pets.
“Ruiyan was absolutely phenomenal. She took amazing care of our two fur babies and when we return in the fall I hope she can watch them again. Knowing you have a reliable and caring person watching over your fur babies gives you complete peace of mind. I'd give 10 stars if I could!”
“Yanqi was excellent. She definitely understands dogs and was able to make a strong connection and ensured our dog had good manners with her. She sent us lots of photos and updates. Very responsive. Look forward to using her next time!”
About: Have cat sat before for friends, i love walking so don't get tired and don't mind a dog to keep company, no experience with puppies/kittens I love dogs and walking so thought why not help those that need a hand with taking care of their dogs. For both dogs and cats I enjoy playing with them and can help you out with making sure they are cared for when you are not able to be with them. Feed, potty break, play with them as needed. My friends cats pur when i pet them,dogs enjoy having someone to play with. For walks don't know if they will tire before me lol.
“Meghna was fab! She took care of my pups really well! She made sure they feel comfortable and spent quality time with them. I will definitely book her again!”
“Jenn took amazing care of our dog and home. Rosie just loves her. Lots of walks, cuddles and good company. Jenn is a great communicator. Highly recommend Jenn, we will book with her again and again.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to Rocky (13, Cockapoo) and Bruno (6, Chion), I understand how deeply pets are part of the family. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for mobility and comfort. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to both energetic pups and older dogs who need extra TLC. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I’m a 22-year-old student who lives a calm and structured lifestyle who is off for the summer. Caring for animals fits beautifully into my daily routine—I love spending time walking dogs, giving belly rubs, and making pets feel at home. I make sure to schedule pet care around my commitments so your pet gets my full attention and love. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment in my home and treat each client’s space with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their regular schedule, and always prioritize safety—leash rules, closed gates, clean food/water bowls, and supervised play. I treat every pet as I treat my own: with kindness, patience, and unwavering love.
About: I’ve cared for animals going as far back as 25 years. I have experience with all sizes and energy levels of dog and cat breeds. I love having an adventure buddy to take with me on walks, hikes, runs, and swims, since I live an active lifestyle. I equally enjoy snuggle time and sharing affection with pets. Animals really are the best, and life is better with them in it. ❤️ I work a hybrid schedule and can offer care during the days I work remotely. When in office, I can do drop-ins during my lunch break. With new animals I meet in the beginning, I allow them to approach me on their terms. This helps them build confidence and trust that the experience with me will be calm, gentle, and patient. I like to keep pet owners updated throughout the day on how things are going with their pet. This includes consistent communication on how we spend our time together, photos, and videos. I keep an open dialogue about any irregularities observed with their eating, washroom, or behavioural habits, and if there are positive or challenging highlights throughout their time in my care. Dogs: I’m happy to take your dog(s) on walks for a duration that is comfortable for them. I can offer them plenty of exercise, play and affection if they enjoy it and welcome it. I like to learn any commands or training habits owners try to build and maintain with their pets so there’s continuity when I care for them in the owner’s absence. I will pick-up after them when they relieve themselves and feed them when required. Cats: The same as above applies if you have a cat that enjoys outdoor adventures or have tried to teach them any commands. If they are strictly an indoor cat, I am happy to spend time with them indoors. It’s less common for cats to have been taught any commands, so if your cat doesn’t know any, that’s perfectly fine.
“I can't say enough great things about Emma. She took excellent care of our fur babies, including our insulin dependent cat. She spent quality time with all the animals and was great at sending photos and sharing with us their adventures throughout the day. I would highly recommend Emma and will surely use her again”
“Alicia was an excellent house sitter. Both of my cats, Otis and Walter, like her. They told me so and asked when she was coming back. I said soon!”
“Alicia came through for us super last minute and was incredible! She updated us with pictures and messages constantly and our Sofie loved her as well. Definitely will re book!”

Karling S.
“I completely trust Karling with my dog Hershey. Karling took care of Hershey while I was out of town. Hershey is a loving dog, but is also timid/weary around new people. However, the moment he met Karling, he took immediately to her. Tail waging, present giving, belly rubs accepted. He knew she would care for him, walk him and most importantly, was safe with her. Karling treated Hershey like her own. I have no hesitation in recommending Karling.”

Jacky L.
“I highly recommend Jacky as a dog walker and pet sitter. Being able to see the amount of time and effort he put into training his own German Sheppard ever since it was a puppy shows his dedication and care for dogs. He even helped me train my husky and is very knowledgeable when it comes to properly training and taking care of dogs. Jacky is always patient and attentive. He understands that all dogs are different and will put effort into learning each dog's specific needs and adapting to their behaviourisms.”
Marissa R.
“We can’t thank Marissa enough for the incredible care she gave our dog, Waldo. From the moment she picked him up, we knew he was in the best hands. Marissa treated him like one of her own—with so much love, attention, and care. Waldo can be a bit particular, but Marissa was patient, attentive to his needs, and kept us updated with messages and photos that truly put our minds at ease. It was clear he was happy, relaxed, and enjoying himself. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. Thank you, Marissa, for going above and beyond. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Waldo in your care again!”

I highly recommend Kelly for pet owners seeking trustworth and skilled care for their canine companions.”
Dorothy N.
“Dorothy has been amazing with my dog Lola, a strong and high-energy 65lb mix. She’s reliable, responsible, and clearly knows how to handle big, enthusiastic dogs. Lola came back happy and well-exercised every time. I’d definitely recommend her to other dog owners looking for someone they can count on!”
