House Sitting in Oliver

“Darcy is an exceptional pet caregiver whom I wholeheartedly recommend. Her deep understanding of dogs and their behavior sets her apart from other sitters. She has always been communicative, keeping me updated on my furry friend's day-to-day activities. Darcy's playful yet responsible nature ensures my dog not only follows the routine but also enjoys every moment spent with her. I admire how she balances fun and safety during their exploration walks, allowing my pet to indulge in sniffing around while ensuring it's always safe. Her ability to sense when a dog needs space, extra cuddles, or protection is truly remarkable. Knowing I can trust Darcy with my pet has provided immense peace of mind. If I could choose my next life, I'd want to come back as one of her pets—she's that amazing!”

“Leslie is for sure a five star! She truly cares about your animals, sends pictures and is a great communicator for letting you know how your fur babies are doing.”

“Alicia was so good with our dog! Our dog is stressed if she spends too much time alone so Alicia stayed with her for a few hours while we attended a wedding. They went for walks, played with toys, hung out on the deck, and cuddled. It was a fun-filled day for our pup and we appreciated all the picture and video updates. Will definitely have Alicia back!”

“My sister recommended Nina, as it was such an easy process to get in touch and as well as having took great care of her dog. Nina has gone on many walks, and watched Ajay. He loves spending time with her. Always comes back happy, and tired from playing! Great experiences. Super attentive, would definitely recommend!”

“I know, Odessa , as she is my caregiver/educational assistant, for my special needs son Callum. Callum is a medically complex, neurodivergent little boy, who requires intense, hands-on daily care. She not only completes this care with consistency,, but the love and kindness she shares towards our son, is second to none. I trust her, obviously with my most precious commodity! Odessa is also a huge animal lover! Often when she is out for walks with Callum, she tells us about all the interaction she has with all the puppies and kitties etc. in the neighborhood. She has even brought her own puppy into our home, which is a big deal for Callum. She has trained her puppy to be aware of Callum’s Sensory needs, example, no barking. And it’s just been a beautiful, win-win situation! I would HIGHLY recommend Odessa for any animal babysitting, boarding, or walking. She is consistent, on time, Highly dependable, and a joy to be around! Leanne”

“We cannot safe enough amazing things about Julia. It was so nice to go on a vacation and not have to worry about our fur baby. You can tell straight away, the love and experience she has with animals!! She kept us updated on how our pup was doing, including cute pics. We will definitely be asking for her help in the future?”

About: I have worked in animal medicine for 27 years and owned/operated my own pet sitting business. I love all animals and have cared for birds, pocket pets, dog and cats. I am comfortable giving oral/topical and injections (ex. Insulin). Two years ago I spent a year getting certified in animal hospice and palliative care. I know leaving a little old timer at home is stressful and requires someone with advanced caregiving skills. I welcome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents and small reptiles. I am working from home. Animals who are cared for in our home are rarely alone. I can be available for visits during daytime or evenings. I have a quarter acre fenced yard. We have a pug named Bruce and a border collie named Biscuit. We live in a bi-level home in a quiet neighbourhood close to hiking trails that we frequent often. Pocket pets enjoy their own room and birds are upstairs with outdoor lookout.
