He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”

“Jasmine is awesome, we had complete peace of mind for our vacation that our Ella was completely taken care of and treated as part of Jasmines own family. Jasmine also gracefully welcomed my two small kids into her home to see where Ella was staying while we were away. Definitely will be using her services again!”
“Loved the experience with Jennifer from start to finish. Love the fact that she only takes on two dogs at once aside from her own and gave me daily updates. My dog was much more relaxed and not stressed like when I used to pick him up at the kennel.”
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”

It was our first time leaving our older dog and she immediately put us at ease with frequent updates, photos and a clear love for dogs. Throughout our time away, she provided phenomenal care of our dog, provided excellent updates and communication and demonstrates so much care and expertise. Bernadette truly understood our dogs personality and made his stay the best. We would absolutely love to have her mind our dog again and would recommend her to all of our friends and family! Thank you Bernadette and family for the best care of our dog!”

“We had Rosalie over to look after our cat and spend the day with him. He was 1 of 5 when he was adopted into the family but recently became 1 of 1. So he is quite lonely when no one is home for an extended period of time and when we do arrive home he will tell us so in no uncertain terms! Rosalie arrived a little early which was great and was set to stay the day. When we arrived home after being gone almost 12 hours he was relaxed and happy. Rosalie is now his person that is just for him. We received a selfie of him and felt like we didn’t have to rush home. We will be using her again!”
“Nicole was an excellent pet sitter and took great care of my cat. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. My cat was happy and well cared for when I returned. I would definitely recommend Nicole and would happily book her again.”
“Walter housesat and watched our kittens. It was their first time being looked after and Walter was great! We felt confident with him watching our kittens and house while we were gone and would recommend and rebook him. We came home to happy kittens and our house was clean.”
About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat qui maintenant, n'est plus de ce monde. Elle a vécu jusqu'à 16 ans. Donc, question chat, vous pouvez me faire confiance. Litière, brossage, promenade, nourriture, je peux vous faire tout cela!
About: I LOVE kitties, so much that I may have brought home one or two who needed a home before asking my partner!! I have been a cat parent for about 7 years while also taking care of cats at daycares and in the shelter system. I have fostered kittens, socialized very shy and semi feral cats and provided many snuggles and playtimes to kitties in my care. I enjoy advocating for cat enrichment and love playing with them to see their prey drive in action. Between being a cat owner and working in animal care environments I have experience in the following: ~Administering medication (Orally, injections, topically) ~Feeding various diets plus monitoring water intake ~Introducing new cats to resident cats ~introducing cats to dogs ~Trimming nails and brushing fur, shaving mats ~Understanding body language ~Providing interactive play I am always hoping to learn new things about cats and get more experience with them. Cats are unique and special and deeply loved by their parents, I strive to provide the best care for them so they live long, happy and fun lives.

“Jasmine was great with our little Gracie! Jasmine was super responsive and sent photos throughout the day, and best of all, Gracie came home tired and happy. We would definitely recommend Jasmine and would have her watch Gracie again!”
“We were a bit nervous to leave Ollie as he had never gone to doggy daycare. He seemed to have had a wonderful day based on how relaxed he was when we picked him up and the pictures and videos. A big thank you and we look forward to bringing him many more times!”
“Bill was terrific. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Bill was accommodating and attentive, excellent communication throughout. Would recommend Bill. Thanks for taking such great care of our furry family member.”
“Sayali, thank you very much for taking such a good care of my little dude. I can tell he really enjoyed the time he spent with you all. He loved playing with your dogs 😍.”
“This was Lucy's first time staying with a non-family member and it went great. Babita was great - lots of updates and pictures showing Lucy having a good time. Thanks for such a wonderful experience.”
“OK … so we’re a little nutty about our pup, but wanted to ensure Leslie knew what she was signing up for! Apparently, Maeve was an angel … settled in and enjoyed her visit. This is the first time - ever - we opted to board Maeve, and the day stay was a success … easing our minds about leaving her for two weeks. After today, we know we made the right decision with Leslie and Richard - a lovely, caring couple. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my entire life, primarily large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life. I understand their needs, routines, and personalities, and I am comfortable handling everything from energetic, playful dogs to calmer companions who just want steady attention and affection. I currently have a friendly poodle who is used to being around other dogs and helps create a relaxed, welcoming environment for visiting pups. I’ve always had dogs and have experience with poodles, Dalmatians, and Labradors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, including diabetes, seizure disorders, and Addison’s disease, so I’m comfortable with medications, routines, and watching for warning signs. I’m confident introducing new dogs and pay close attention to body language to ensure safe, positive interactions. My current poodle is well trained with excellent recall and is free on our farm, but visiting dogs are always kept safely on leash or long line unless otherwise discussed with owners. I also spend time at dog parks and have an invisible fence at the farm. Safety, supervision, and respecting each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities. I provide care both in my London home and, when appropriate and with owner approval, at our family farm. In London, dogs enjoy a safe, calm, and structured environment with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. At the farm, dogs have access to wide open spaces, fresh air, and safe, supervised outdoor time that many dogs absolutely love. I am experienced with feeding schedules, basic medications, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you are away. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels and will always flag anything that seems off. Whether your dog prefers couch cuddles or room to roam, I make sure their stay is tailored to what makes them happiest. I work from home many days each week and live very close to work, so I can easily pop home at lunch on office days. Our own dog is part of our daily routine, so feeding, outdoor breaks, playtime, and walks are built into every day. I always take our poodle for a 30 min walk. Dogs in our home are treated like part of the family. I follow each dog’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special instructions provided by their owner so they feel comfortable and settled. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Our home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with lots of space to relax and safe areas for play. We do have a fenced yard and a pool but can make sure dogs do not go into the pool (our dog avoids it). I supervise interactions closely, especially during meals and playtime, and make sure every dog has their own comfortable place to rest. Because I work from home many days a week and I live close to my work. When appropriate and with owner approval, I can also bring dogs to our family farm, where they can enjoy fresh air, wide open space, and safe, supervised outdoor time. Whether a dog prefers quiet cuddles or room to roam, I adjust their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home.
“Katherine was great with my dog who is still less than a year old. She took him for a nice walk and was able to make him comfortable during his stay even though he has a bit of separation anxiety. Several photos were sent during his time there.”
“Amazing!! I loved how many pictures and videos Alexandria sent me it was very comforting knowing Leo was happy! She is very communicative and extremely understanding as we were running late and she was great about that! Will be going to her again 100%. Also she kept Leo busy all day so he wasnt anxious.”
“Diana was great with my girl Mango. Mango warmed up to her right away. She came home happy and calm after spending the day with Diana and her pup Mia. Will definitely be booking Diana for care again!”

About: Hello, my name is Carrie and I have over 2 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and as a Biology student at Western University with experience around animals. I love spending time with pets of all personalities and breeds. I’m comfortable with walks (2-3 times per day), feeding, administering oral medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing enrichment and companionship. I only board ONE FAMILY’s pet(s) at a time for a calm, stress-free stay. Same-day booking requests are also welcome whenever my schedule allows! 😊 To help your pet feel comfortable in the summer ☀️ I provide: - Air-conditioned room 24/7 - Cooling mat - Fan - Toys - Treats (offer only with your approval and if they fit your pet’s diet) - Access to a quiet, shaded green space - Pet/security camera (I rarely leave pets alone for more than 3 hours. On the rare occasion that I do, I use it to check in and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.) I treat every pet like my own and want them come home happy. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages during each visit. I’ll be a student this fall, but most of my classes are remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days, including holidays. If I ever need to be away for more than 3 hours, I’ll always let you know before the booking begins and make sure your pet is comfortable and settled before I leave. My home: I live in a clean, smoke-free and air-conditioned apartment with no roommates, providing a calm and safe environment for your pet. I don’t smoke, drink, or party, and your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I also live close to PetSmart, making it easy to pick up any pet supplies or handle last minute needs if requested. Your home: I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care as my own:) keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.

“Great experience, Rita was very accommodating to our dog. Specially our dog is a rescue and needs some time to get to know the person. Rita made it easy and our dog has warmed up faster than we thought!”

“Walter showed up promptly to meet Stryker and we made arrangements for 3 walks while we were on vacation. He showed up, sent pictures and a map of their walk.

“Although Nicole and I were not able to complete our days of dog walks, I enjoyed meeting her so much and the one walk my dog had was very successful. We have just been through the worst heat wave I ever remember in Southwestern Ontario, so it was just too hot for my dog and for Nicole to be walking. But we stayed in touch each day and made our decisions together about the extreme weather. I'm only sorry that we did not get to know each other better. I would never hesitate to contact her another time.”
About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.
About: For the past 6 years, I’ve raised a Labrador retriever since he was a puppy, cared for dogs as if they were my own. I truly believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their owners are away. I have experience with energetic puppies who need patience and gentle training guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra comfort, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel secure and happy in my care. My goal is simple: allow dogs to sniff & have fun during walks, tire them for good sleep & keep the tails wagging. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks and check-ins, so your dog gets steady care rather than rushed visits. Because I plan my week around the pets I’m caring for, I’m able to maintain their routines as closely as possible — feeding times, exercise, medication (if needed), and lots of affection. Caring for dogs isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy. I have a fenced backyard & a very friendly Labrador Retriever dog ready to play & we provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each dog’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play sessions, and rest periods — so they feel secure and settled. For boarding and daycare, I make sure dogs get a healthy balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and quiet time. I’m attentive to their body language and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or need a slower, gentler pace. During walks, I focus on safety, leash manners, and giving them a positive, enjoyable experience. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.

“Yoda provided loving and responsive care for our dog. It was our first time using Rover and what a great experience. She is a great communicator and kept us informed of how Piper was doing. We will definitely have Yoda care for Piper again. It is clear she is a true dog lover and has created a very welcoming space for dogs to be in her care.”
“Smitha was very responsive. However, we were not told that they look after other dogs as well as it was not on their profile at the time and at the meet and greet there was a puppy there which was very cute but too much for Riley as he is 15. However since at that time we did not have too many choices we went with her. She did look after Riley and accommodate us as we ran into traffic and got a bit late.”
