“Thank you both for taking such great care of our Timber on such short notice. We received updates throughout the day and both Elizabeth and Joao were professional and so easy to communicate with.”


“Alara was great with house sitting and caring for my two senior cats, one of whom needs twice daily insulin injections. I came home to two very chill kitties, and a home that was kept very clean and in order. I really appreciated it and I would have no hesitation in booking Alara for the next time we go away and want to feel at ease with leaving our pets.”

“Jessica is awesome, very friendly and personable and so obviously a dog lover. She took care of my three little dogs in my home this past weekend and she was wonderful in every way. So thankful I found her!”


“Absolutely satisfied with the care and attention Morgan paid our wonderful puppy Nova and to our home. Apparently we have some doggy depression over the fact that she left lol For a dog who normally doesn’t take to people quickly, this just shows what kind of person Morgan is. Highly recommend her for anyone’s dog and house sitting needs!”


About: I’ve been very lucky to of taken care of many different kinds of dogs over the past 10-12 years and have been responsible for walking, playing, feeding and bathing. I have many different dog breeds in my family back home in the UK. Since moving to Canada back in 2021 and now being a permanent resident, I have pet sitted numerous dogs and cats. I have a lot of time for animals and love spending time with them. I believe to be the best choice when’s it comes to choosing a pet sitter as I give them all the love and attention they need and truly treat them like my own. I’m currently working full time but would love to fit in some play time with a few pups. Free every weekend and have plenty of spare time during the week. I am very trust worthy and reliable, and would be happy to visit dogs and walk dogs from their own home. For me to board dogs at my own home, they need to be very comfortable around other dogs as I share the back yard with my landlord and there lovely dog.

“Scott saved our Christmas (and my son's first Christmas) by helping us out with less than 12 hours of notice, and caring for our 2 large dogs at our home on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. He was so pleasant to work with and made us feel very comfortable with giving our keys over to someone we nor our dogs have ever met! We will absolutely rebook with Scott.”


“Laura was absolutely amazing! She really understood my animals and I feel she cared about them as if they were her own! My mind was at ease while being away! I would highly recommend her :)”


About: I’ve got experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and quirks! From high energy puppies to sweet seniors, XL breeds, the “my dog doesn’t like anyone” and everything in between. I’m confident with reactive dogs and have a strong handle on training, body language and canine behaviour. Whether your pup needs structure, cuddles, playtime or just someone who gets them, I’m here to help. I work from home and run my own business, which means my schedule’s flexible and I’d rather spend my free time outside with dogs than stuck behind a screen. If your pup’s into sniffing trees, chasing sticks or just hanging out in the sun, send me a message! Your dog’s safety is my main priority. I care for every pup like they’re my own, with patience, attention and a whole lot of love. Every dog is different and I’m happy to meet your pup’s unique needs, whether that means extra play, a slow walk or just someone calm and steady in their space.

“Thanks Brittany & Fam for taking care of my home! You rock the balance of your own family and taking care of mine giving me peace of mind while I was away & left the place looking better than I had left it for you! Thank you for your understanding, easy going attitude keeping a handle on my big girls.”

“Suki was amazing with my dog!! Lots of treats cuddles and play time. She left the place looking spotless and always kept me up to date with texts and pictures! Highly recommend:)”

Michelle B.
“Michelle was recommended to us and we weren’t disappointed. She is knowledgable and truly cared about our little Prince. Our Shih Tzu dog really enjoyed his time with her. She walked him daily and took care to feed him properly and according to our instructions. Our dog suffers from pancreatitis, so special care was required in his diet and treats. We truly appreciated her care and attention to detail with our dog. She was also required to give him a vitamin B injection while we were away. She stayed in our home with our dog for three weeks while we traveled. We returned home to a happy cared for dog and clean home. We feel Michelle went above and beyond in the level of care she provided for our little dog. Her photo updates would reassure me and absolutely make my day.”
