“Rachel took such amazing care of Smudge again over Thanksgiving! We’re so thankful for her kindness, flexibility, and the way she treats him like her own. She kept us updated with the sweetest photos and videos, which made being away so much easier. Smudge was clearly loved and spoiled, and we couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Highly recommend Rachel — she’s truly the best! 🐾💛”

“I cannot recommend Cassandra enough! She took our pup on a last-minute request and was so easy to work with. She has a great home setup and tons of experience. She sent a bunch of photos of my doggie while I was away. Overall amazing experience and 100% recommend!”
“She took great care of my 2 dogs. Kept their daily routine of administering their medication and taking them on daily walks. She was very affectionate with them and they were very happy when I picked them up. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

Our energetic girl came home happy & exhausted ( love that haha). We very much reccomend Jenn & Mark's and sky cant wait to be back !”
“Choosing Gloria was the best decision for my little dog's 7-day stay! The thought of being away from Zelda was very stressful, but meeting Gloria a few weeks before the stay made all the difference – I immediately felt much better. During Zelda's stay, Gloria was fantastic about sending quick, reassuring updates and pics whenever I needed them. When I picked Zelda up, she looked wonderfully cared for; she looked happy and even had her topknot perfectly brushed. I will be using Gloria's services again in the future and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.”
“We were very happy leaving Tango with Frances. We knew she would be treated like one of the family, and from the photos we received throughout her stay, it was very obvious she was in great hands. I would definitely ask Frances to care for Tango again - anytime we need a sitter. We loved the rural setting for her and felt that Tango enjoyed a bit of a holiday of her own, while we were away for a family gathering. Thank you, Frances!”
“Very friendly, very accommodating, absolutely pleasurable to communicate with, had a very lovely home and was very amazing to our pets!! amazing care of them and kept us updated!! Highly recommended and will definitely be rebooking!! if you’re not using her you’re missing out and your fur babies will thank you!!”
“Lesa took care of our dog Coco for one night as a trial run. Our dog has never been looked after by anyone other than us or family members and we were quite anxious about leaving him with just anyone. Our dog is a bit temperamental when it comes to routine and especially other dogs. Lesa met with us prior to Coco’s stay to allow us to meet with her and her daughter and see where he would be staying. Lesa was very welcoming of coco into her home and was very easy going and you could tell she was passionate about animals. Lesa made our first interaction with her great and made it much easier for us to decide on leaving coco with her for a night. We dropped off Coco in the afternoon for his first night away from home. Lesa sent us an update within the first hour letting us know how he was and that everything was well! Lesa sent us countless updates throughout the day and evening letting us know how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. This really made us feel like he was getting the attention and care we thought he needed. We picked Coco up just over 24hrs later and he was as happy as could be and we could tell he had a great stay! Lesa was an amazing sitter for our dog Coco and we have 100% trust in her with sitting our dog! We met with many different dog sitters before finding Lesa and we are so so happy we didn’t settle on just anybody! Lesa will continue to have our business with watching our dog Coco, and we have already made plans to leave Coco in her hands while we go for our next vacation! Thank you to Lesa, her young daughter and 2 cats for letting us feel at ease while Coco is away from us!”
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs and little dogs for friends and family for many years. I have made sure their pets are walked, fed, bathed and have had tons of love while in my care. I work from home so am able to make sure the dogs in my care get lots of attention through the day and are walked daily as well We have a large unfenced yard perfect for play and also go on long walks daily. My dogs are crated at night so would prefer dogs who are crate trained. We have a loving home with lots of attention and play
“I greatly appreciated Helena’s fast response to my last minute request for pet sitting. Her house is well set up for dog boarding and my dog was immediately at ease. Her dog Max was friendly to our dog and I could see they were going to have a fun visit together. Heena made sure to get the details about our dog’s habits and our wishes. There was a long lead and clothesline to allow the dogs to explore and play outside. It will be a great off lease area once the final piece of fence is installed. Heena was a pleasant host with whom I felt confident leaving our 2 yr old dog.”
“I am super happy with Kristina’s service! I truly recommend her! I had a last minute trip and needed someone to take care of Sully, Kristina was very responsive and she was able to meet our needs. Sully had a great time at her place and she and her family took great care of him! Thank you very much!”
“Natalie and Niranga provided great care for my 7 month old lab! He really seemed to enjoy his time with them and their dogs, and I think he missed his new furry friends once we got home! Natalie kept me updated with text and photos which I really enjoyed :)”
About: I’ve always had animals in my house growing up, from small dogs to large dogs, also have experience with cats, I’ve also worked for a dog boarding company and have experience boarding animals. I am home full time at the moment and have lots of time to spend with your pups and give them the attention they need. I have a full house, lots of room for them to play, also have a nice sized yard for them to run around and get the exercise they need.

“Dan was super kind and flexible, and really helped us out when we weren't able to find another sitter for our area. He provided detailed photo updates which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Would give 10 stars if that were an option. Thanks Dan!”
“Lianne was so great! It was my first time using Rover and she provided a courtesy visit so we could meet. I felt instantly comfortable with her, and the service she would offer to Max, my Sr Cat. While I was away Lianne let me know when she was stopping in and provided pictures. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Emily was fantastic with our finicky and difficult cats. Her updates were detailed and she provided many pictures of how they were doing in her report. She went above and beyond what we expected and we'll gladly be booking with her again very soon before our next vacation.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. She did a meet-and-greet ahead of the stay, followed the care instructions exactly, and sent daily check-ins with photos that made being away much easier. Came home to two happy cats and everything in order. I'd book her again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone.”
“Lesa was AWESOME with my two cats. She sent a ton of photos and videos every day with notes about them. Both cats, even my shy one, loved her. She was also super quick to respond to every message I sent. Highly recommend her and I will definitely hire her again.”
“Wonderful experience with the cat boarding! My cat smokey was well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. Communication was prompt and professional from start to finish. It truly felt like a home away from home for smokey”

“Mickey came home exhausted from a great day at doggy day care, his 1st time at a new place without my presence; the goal is to help him through separation anxiety, what a great home, what a great experience and I plan on being a repeat customer, highly recommend”
About: Located just 8 minutes north of Chelmsford; I have a lifetime of experience starting as a child on our farm with a variety of our four-legged friends including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs/hamsters (and some 2 legged friends - ducks & geese!) There has rarely been a time that we did not have animals in our home. I have and have had personal experience with 5 of our own canine seniors spanning over 35 yrs developing patience and empathy and adjusting to their stages of life throughout their lives. I am experienced with administration of medication, blindness, mobility restrictions and post-surgery care. In addition, I have Pet First Aid through Cdn Red Cross. In prior years, I have completed varying levels of obedience classes with all of our dogs as well as reactive training through the Sudbury Kennel Club with my GSD in his younger years. I carry those learnings and teachings in our daily interactions with all our pets to provide structure and a socially well behaved pet. Through the week, I work from home and at times in the community, but my flexibility can allow me to meet the scheduling needs of a pet parent when planned in advance. I don't mind last minute scheduling, since as we know life happens, if I am able to accommodate. Most importantly, I can be present and attentive to provide positive interaction, care and playtime for your fur baby. I am situated in a rural setting on several acres with a large amount of groomed yard and acreage away from the road. The main floor of my home is open for free roam. I offer a soft crate that remains open, to provide comfort and security if your pet has anxiety about being somewhere other than home and if you would like to make it available to your baby. My home is quiet and calm where they will have a great place to relax and carry on at their own pace.
About: I had cats most of my life and a dog for 6 years (all rescues, all now deceased). I am a mature, reliable and caring 58 year old with a post-graduate degree and have chosen to dedicate my retirement to animals - pet sitting, volunteering, and animal advocacy work. I have a wide open schedule as I am retired with very few commitments. I love animals and want to dedicate all my available time to caring for them. I will spend time petting, playing, and feeding your fur baby as well as cleaning up after them. I'm also happy to water plants and take in mail or any other reasonable service that may be required.
About: I love dogs and have cared for them since childhood. I have adopted rescues and taken in puppies, both large breeds and small. Our family loves dogs of all sizes. I am at home full time for summer. I am free to take your pup on walks or to play fetch in our fenced yard! I have a fenced yard and one dog to keep your fur baby company - and dogs are allowed on our couches. We have two cats that keep to themselves and can be quartined in a seperate area if necessary. We are a smoke free home. I love animals and would enjoy having your pup in my home!
“We were very happy with Rachel's care for our Millie dog. Rachel was very attentive to Millie, she took photos and let me know how Millie was doing, seeing it was her first visit with Rachel at her home. Rachel was so welcoming, friendly and she had a nice little area set up for Millie. I really appreciated that, as Millie is shy at first, needs time to get used to her surroundings. When I picked Millie up, she looked at ease which tells me she had a good time. I look forward to next time Millie gets to visit with Rachel and her two little Chihuahuas.”
“Natalie was so quick to respond to my messages, and so flexible. My pup had a great time, and was exhausted from her day. I recieved some picture updates during the day which was great.”
“We were camping in the area and wanted to take our kids to Science North, Shelby was very accommodating with our last minute booking. You can tell she's an animal lover and we felt comfortable leaving our fur baby with her for the day. It was nice not to have to worry about Fin while we were away! She came home happy! We would recommend Shelby :)”
About: I grew up in a farm and went to vet tech college. My love for animals has always existed ever since I was a kid. I’m currently a stay at home mom, and kids are all in school, so looking to fill in the day with some walks or check ins. I have 4 beautiful kids, one senior dog and 2 cats, so we have a full house. But I wouldn’t change it for the world.

“Dan is absolutely amazing. I was a little unsure of the process and worried about trusting someone in my home and with my pup. Dan did a meet and greet with me and my puppy. He was very respectful and treated my pup like family. I got updated when they started/ended a walk he even played inside my house with my puppy for a bit and sent me so many pictures! I will definitely be a returning customer!! thank you!!”
About: I’ve raised everything from large Labs and Dalmatians to my current friendly, vaccinated 2-year-old Chihuahua- Muffy. We live in a cozy, one-level home with a decent-sized backyard and a great park just steps away! Whether your pup needs big-dog exercise or small-dog snuggles, I treat every guest like family and strictly follow your routine to ensure they feel safe and right at home. I shih-tzu not, your dog will have a paws-itively great time! I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and am happy to support any training routines you have in place. Whether it’s reinforcing basic cues like 'sit' and 'stay' or working on leash manners during our park visits, I’ll ensure your pup stays consistent while you're away. Since I'm home all day, I can provide the frequent, short training sessions and immediate praise that help good habits stick. Whether your dog prefers their own crate for a peaceful night’s sleep or likes to snooze on a plush dog bed, I’m happy to follow whatever setup makes them feel most comfortable. Because my home is a one-level 'safe zone,' I can easily keep their favorite spot nearby so they always feel like part of the family. I provide a supervised environment where your pet is never left alone, ensuring they stay happy, relaxed, and secure throughout their stay.
About: Ive had dogs all my life, and my own dog for a decade and a cat recently. I love animals and want to make sure they get good care when you need to be away. Im a hiker and will take your puppy along. Ive had my own pet so I am familiar with their needs, feeding schedules, walking, and medication. Whatever they need to be happy and healthy My schedule is flexible throughout the day. I've had dogs and prioritize their needs to ensure they are comfortable. I am currently able to commit as much time as needed to your animals. When taking care of my friend's pets I always ensure to visit around the same time daily, provide care without disturbing the home and make sure that their pets are safe and happy.
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, beginning from my high school days. I had dog-sat for neighbors and friends of mine many times as well, dogs of all sizes and ages. I have experience with senior dogs as my sister and I have a 15 year old dog, as well as experience with reactive pets as our second dog is a rescue from Mexico whom we got through Petsave! I have some experience in training puppies as well, including house training and leash training. I work full time currently, however my shifts vary from 8 to 12hrs depending on the week, and can be anywhere from an early morning to a late evening shift. Considering this, I can be available at different times throughout the day and am willing to work around your schedule to meet you and your pets needs! Whether that be dog walking, drop in visits, or overnight stays. In my home I currently have two cats, however I am unable to offer boarding services at this time. My services include dog walking, drop in visits or dogs or cats, and house-sitting at the clients residence.
About: I was born and raised with dogs. I have taken care of them as early as when they were just fresh out of the womb until their last breaths. I am a full time HVAC student in my 2nd and final year at Cambrian College. I am still very much available to take care of your pets as much as they need from the moment I’m home until I leave for school the next morning! That means beautiful evening walks! I will take care with as much responsibility as I would my own pet. If you or they have special needs, I’ll make sure to accommodate!
About: As a dedicated dog sitter, what sets me apart is my comprehensive approach to pet care. Beyond providing the essentials like feeding and exercise, I bring a wealth of experience in dog training. With a background in positive reinforcement techniques, I focus on enhancing your dog's obedience and social skills during their stay. This includes commands like sit, stay, and leash manners. Additionally, my keen understanding of canine behavior allows me to tailor the environment to your dog's preferences, minimizing stress and promoting a comfortable stay. Your furry friend will not only receive excellent care but also benefit from a learning and growth experience that will positively impact their behavior and interactions. I am current studying so I have plenty of time apart from college hours. I am totally free on week ends so I can take care and play with them. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable environment with designated play and rest areas, following their routine closely. In clients' homes, I replicate routines while providing companionship and necessary tasks, ensuring pets are well-cared for and content.
