“Jeff was great, very accommodating and took great care of our dog George. He was very quick to respond and sent us some incredible portrait photos of George. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Anne did a fabulous job looking after Ollie. I arrived home after 7 days away to a happy and well cared for dog. My house was left by Anne in the same condition I left it for her. She kept me informed every day, of Ollie’s activities and sent me pictures of him so I could see for myself how he was. I would have Anne back when I travel again and would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

“Angelica was fantastic with our 3 angels! Her communication was spot on and we could have a wonderful 2 weeks away with knowing that our dogs were in fantastic hands. Thanks for going the extra mile with taking care of some household items over and above. I will for sure recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Mo! Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than making pets feel safe, loved, and at home. With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs for family, friends, and referrals, along with 5 years of professional experience in dog daycare and dog walking, I bring both knowledge and heart to everything I do. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pups who need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s a fun, active walk or a calm, comforting visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I’ve intentionally made time for. I’ve recently come off maternity leave and decided to step away from my corporate role to return to working with dogs, a true passion of mine, while having a more flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays, Monday to Friday, with plenty of time and attention to dedicate to each pet in my care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. In my home, I create a calm, cozy space where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine and personality so their stay feels as close to home as possible. They’ll get lots of attention, and supervision throughout the day, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out and relaxing. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will truly be treated like part of the family!
“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.”

“Karling was great! Excellent communication and updates with pictures. My cats warmed up to her very quickly - I was surprised. She really understands cats and was great staying at my place while I was on vacation. Thank you!!!!!”

“Kristina was a wonderful sitter to our two cats over the long weekend! She was super great at communicating, sending us updates with pictures in the morning and night. She was quick to learn their personalities and share with us how they were doing. Kristina really had our minds at ease that they were having a great time. Highly recommend her as your next sitter!”

About: Most of my pet care experiences are from owning lizard and fishes. But 5 months ago, I started dog walking and I recently adopted a cat and I realized how much I enjoyed being around furry friends ✨️😊 Since it's my summer break from college, I would love to use this as opportunity to enjoy my summer break with furry friends while earning money. When I'm walking my dog client, I make sure he gets his exercise by playing catch, walking, playing with other dogs, exploring, and I make sure to keep him safe. I make sure my cat at home also gets his playtime with me, make sure his bowls are cleaned every time I refill his bowl for food and water 😊
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. Whether it be my grandmas, our families or friends, I have been responsible to walk, feed and bathe them for years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to take breaks during work hours to walk your pups or as well as in the early morning or evening. Establishing trust between myself and the dog is the most important. Firstly, I stay calm and allow for some time and space to reassure them I’m not threatening and establish familiarity. I provide regular check-ins for ease of mind and work to establish a regular routine for the animals in my care. I am passionate about animal care and find it sincerely therapeutic.
“We couldn't be happier with the amazing care our dogs Rusty + Tax received! From the moment Yanqi arrived, it was clear she genuinely loves what she does. She seamlessly followed our routine, making sure the pups felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout our time away. What impressed us most was her attentiveness and communication. She kept us updated throughout the day with adorable pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It's obvious that both Rusty & Tax absolutely adored her... the connection they built was heartwarming to see! She was also incredibly respectful of our home, treating everything with care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced to look after your furry family member, we highly recommend her without hesitation. We'll definitely be booking her again for future sits! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pup! 🐾”

“I had a great experience with Yingxue! My cat March is very young and energetic, but she managed everything so well. She was patient, attentive, and kept March happy and entertained the entire time. I appreciated the updates pictures and the care she put into looking after her. Highly recommend! Would definitely contact in the future.”

“Mark is sensational. We trusted Mark to look after our home and energetic Boxer for 3 weeks and everything went perfectly. Mark was great with our dog and our home was perfect when we returned. His skills with dogs and lovable personality made our pup fall in love with him and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. We HIGHLY recommend Mark for any of your pet needs. We also made a friend in the process! ***** 5stars!”

“She was the absolute best! Such a sweet and kind human being that knows how to communicate with dogs. Our little Maltese looked like he was having the best time with her in all the photos she shared!”

“Mary was terrific taking care of our dog and cat for a month when we had to travel. She communicated the important stuff, sent pictures, and overall was very good with the pets! She also took good care of the house and plants, everything was perfect when I got back home. It was great having her here!”


“Lorin was absolutely wonderful. I was very nervous leaving my girls behind for the holiday but Lorin made my husband and I feel so much better. She checked in before and after each visit and gave a detailed update after every visit. Our pup was a bit of a challenge to start with and Lorin didn't seem bothered at all. I would 100% recommend Lorin for pup sitting and my husband and I will absolutely use Lorin again in the future. Thank you Lorin!!!”

About: My love for animals led me to start my own rescue, and I’ve been immersed in the rescue world for over 13 years. Along the way, I’ve also had the privilege of pet sitting for many wonderful clients and their beloved furbabies. *I’m certified by the Canadian Red Cross for First Aid for cats and dogs* I’ve experienced just about every aspect of animal care—from helping train puppies and walking dogs to supporting pregnant mama cats through birth to administering medication and even tube feeding dogs and cats recovering from surgery. My experience and knowledge have given me a deep understanding of how to provide personalized, attentive, and compassionate care—especially when pets need it most. And I truly believe a tired puppy is a happy puppy! I take great care in getting to know everything about your furbaby, whether they are big or small, to make sure they are cared for and pampered. It would truly be my pleasure to care for your pets as if they were my own while you’re away, keeping you in the loop every step of the way! I’m dedicating myself to pet sitting on a full-time basis, so pet care is my top priority in my daily routine. This allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship and comfort throughout the day. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, routine, and plenty of love while their owners are away. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific care needs, so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m very attentive to behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in appetite, energy, or health. I also respect your home as if it were my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away
“Melanie is the best dog sitter and walker! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her because of her care for our two dogs and her excellent communication with us. We know they are in good hands when we can’t be there.”

It was easier to leave our dog and two cats for a week, knowing Alicia would be staying with them. Alicia is lovely. She is friendly, trustworthy, tidy, responsible, and, most importantly, loving to our pets. She came for pre stay walks with the dog, to help him feel comfortable with her. A very positive experience.
We were thrilled to have Jennifer back to look after Esme who was so excited to have a visit with her friend. Jennifer takes wonderful care of our dog and keeps us updated while we are away, for which we are most appreciative. We will be happy to have Jennifer back again :)

Bonnie was absolutely amazing with Biscuit! From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and clearly has such a natural love for animals. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were out. Biscuit was happy, well cared for, and clearly adored spending time with her. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog sitter!
