“Wow! Cindy and her family cared for Madigan like she was family-- I think she misses them already! Our Maddie stayed for two weeks, and Cindy sent us lots of pics and kept us up to date with the fun they were having. Everything was perfect from our end. Highly recommended!!”
“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Jillian was amazing. Lots of updates with photos. Our Luna really seemed to love her. She also took Luna on some good hikes/walks as she requires lots of exercise. Will definitely use her again!!”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“Michelle watched our 2 year old dog, Bo, overnight, and he had the absolute best time! Michelle sent frequent updates of Bo playing with her dogs, taking walks and overall having a lot of fun. I recommend if you are in the Collingwood area to have Michelle watch your pets 100% of the time.”
“Heather really looked after my dogs. She sent pictures updating me with what they were up to. I felt relaxed while we were away and will use Heather again 🐾”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anne while she cared for our dog, Wilson, during our vacation. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she made us feel completely at ease. During the pre-stay meet and greet, it was clear how comfortable Wilson felt with her—and that carried through the entire stay. Anne sent us daily pictures and videos, which not only reassured us but also showed how happy and well-cared-for Wilson was. She is so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring—it honestly felt like Wilson was on his own vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely trust Anne with Wilson again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 4. (Family dogs) then I have had 3 dogs that I have had with my own family. Can’t live without out one in my life. Looked after friends and other family dogs for them. Love getting out for a walk with a dog. I’m self employed and I’m working part time. So I have lots of time to take care of dogs. Being self employed I can make time to giving your dog the best care by being here for them. I have a fenced in yard. Plus love taking dogs for walks. I’m willing to do what makes the customer happy. I don’t have a dog of my own at this time. We just lost our family dog of 14yrs.
“Tucker had an AMAZING time, for his first boarding night. We are so thankful to find two people who treat him as well as myself and my kids. Cannot wait to use them again.”
“Dale was absolutely amazing with our often difficult to manage dog. We were amazed at how well she managed him, and will absolutely use her again in the future. We were given updates throughout his stay, and felt confident knowing she was looking after our pup”
“We were very pleased with the care Dex received with Jessica. She sent updates and pictures often which gave us peace of mind and very secure. Dex was well taken care of and she really cared for him. I would definitely use her again.”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Could not be happier with the service provided. Our boy Gus has been back three times now. This last time for 11 days while we were away on holidays. They updated us often with pictures. Gus being a very rambunctious 14 month old lab is notoriously bad on a leash. After his prolonged stay he was noticeably better on his leash and continues to be. Would recommend for sure.”
“Natasha and Sandro were amazing dog sitters! They went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable in their home. Lightning enjoyed playing with their dog, Phoenix. It was great seeing messages from them along with updated pics too. Thank you for taking such good care of Lightning.”
“Shannon’s home is warm and welcoming. We always know that our dog Maple will be well taken care of because she is treated like one of the family. Shannon is our go to dog sitter for whenever we need someone to care for Maple.”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”

“Ellie is an amazing cat sitter. She looked after our 2 girls for a few days while I was away having surgery. With the daily updates and many pictures she sent, I was able to completely relax and focus on my recovery, knowing they were in such good hands! Can’t wait to have her back again!”

“I was so grateful that Jacquelyn was available for a last minute drop in for my cat! My cat was very happy to have some company. Will definitely book again in the future 😊”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for cats and experience caring for them at every stage of life. I’m attentive to the little details - like giving medications on time, keeping litter boxes fresh and clean, and noticing subtle changes in behavior that others might miss. I know how to earn the trust of shy or senior cats and keep playful ones entertained and safe. My goal is always to make sure your feline feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Jenn was great! She did daily drop in visits for our cat Monster while we were away. We could tell from the daily photos that he was having a great time with her. We could rest assured that he was in great hands!”
About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of cats’ unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors, and know how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and providing cozy spaces where cats feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior, energy, and preferences, making sure they feel secure and loved. With my flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, I can give your cat plenty of attention, play, and companionship. Your cat will be cared for with the same warmth and devotion I gave my own feline friends, making them feel happy and comfortable in my care. 🐾
“Jessica is amazing. I was nervous as I have never left my cats with anyone, it was our first vacation. We were put at ease from the first visit and were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. I think the cats thought they were on vacation as well. The pictures Jessica sent us from each visit made our hearts happy. She played music for them each visit. She is amazing and we will hopefully be able to book her for our next vacation. Thank you Jessica.”
“Kristie was wonderful with our cats. They were comfortable with her right from the first meeting. Kristie responded quickly to messages and questions and sent updates and photos with each visit.”
“Danielle was such a dream and took great care of our Kitty .. she sent detailed updates and photos to grant us peace of mind. We cannot thank her enough - this made our holiday away more enjoyable as we didn’t have the stress of worrying about the furry one at home.”
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder.

We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.

“Chelsea looked after my two cats for a week. She came in twice a day for the usual -- food, water, litter, cleaning, play -- and stayed 30 minutes each time. After each visit, I received several photos as well as the written report which made me feel very secure that they were being well cared for. Chelsea also shovelled my walk for my return as it was quite snowy and late when I got back. I really appreciate her reliability, responsiveness, and consideration and above all, that she cared for my cats like they were her own.”
About: I have been a dog owner since the time I was born. My dogs have always been my dear friends, some who have needed a lot of care and special attention. After I moved out, I continued to pet-sit for my parents dash-hound until recently when he crossed over the rainbow bridge.

“My experience with Richard was great! He was available last minute for my girls. He updated me a lot and thats always amazing. Ill be happy to have him watch my girls again :)”
“Michelle is fantastic! She took such great care of Oakley. She is a great communicator, attentive and caring. Oakley had the best time hanging with Michelle and Molly! I will absolutely have Michelle dog sit for Oakley again in the future.”
“Heather took care of our puppy for doggy day care. She took him out for walks and was very responsive in her communications. I would recommend Heather for doggy day care.”
“Cindy is very accommodating and loving towards our baby. Her home is conducive to dog sitting. Free of clutter and very clean and organized. Maui feels at home whenever she is in Cindy’s care. She also gets to play with both Max and Josie, Cindy’s cute fur babies. She sends us photos of Maui every time and gves updates. We recommend Cindy, without hesitation.”
“We were so happy to have found Jill to watch our dog while we were visiting from out of town . She was a short drive from the village and was flexible with drop off and pick up time , allowing us to explore and enjoy blue mountain and pick up after dinner. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and was able to accommodate a last minute request to add my brother’s dog to our booking. Thankful to have found a safe and fun place for the dogs to spend their days. They both had a great time.”
“Jack had a great day with Jan and Mark. A long walk in the rain, getting to know Nana, ball play in the water in the afternoon! He came home a very happy camper! Thank you both.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Dog Care! Kreston is an absolute gem when it comes to pet care! From the moment I met her, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and treats every dog like her own. My pup instantly warmed up to her—something that rarely happens! Kreston is incredibly professional, reliable, and kind. She keeps me updated with adorable photos and little notes about how my dog is doing, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away.”
“Jaquelyn was so wonderful and accommodating. It’s not often I leave my pup with anyone but she made it so easy and comfortable to do so. My pup had a great day stay and looked so happy and comfortable in the pictures we received throughout the day. We would definitely recommend Jaquelyn and hope to use her again when we visit her area again!”
“I was so relieved I could find Damla to take care of my dog while passing by as the weather was so hot and I was traveling in a van. My dog is not “easy” but Damla made her comfortable easily and I believe my dog had a great day at Damla’s place. Thank you for the last minute service!”
“She is super sweet and has a great house w a great neighborhood. She sent greatupdates- those are never enough hhaha The girls are very sensitive to cold so Deborah sent me a video of them cuddled up by the fireplace which was so nice. Would use again”
“Great with my pup. Aditya & Ipshita are very kind and patient. They got my anxious rescue pup socialized with other dogs. My dog had a great time with them and would definitely bring him back under their care.”
About: I do some boarding and dog sits at your home. But if you are working full time and need walks for your dog this summer- we got you! My daughter and I can make it work, if you are in Stayner. For this summer my 15 year old daughter is assisting me with dog walks, to increase how many clients I can help. We have years of experience loving and walking dogs! If you are looking for doggie day care, you may fit in with us Tuesday-Thursday. My two dogs are 12+ years old and love sleeping while I'm working away. For someone who needs a visit to their home to care for your dog/cat, I'm careful to respect your home and privacy, and I can send you pictures of your dog at each visit, if you'd like.
“Sharon is wonderful. She took the time to discuss the needs for our dog with us prior to dropping her off for daycare. Sharon was so patient with our dog, who struggles with anxiety and communicated how she did every day. We felt at ease leaving our dog with Sharon, and are so thankful for the care and love she put into her time with Marley.”
“Lisa she is an amazing person, calm and kind. She is kne of the very few people Tessa did not barked at first time when we met. I will leave my pet in Lisas care anytime, with confidence, that ut will be treated like part of the family. Thank you Lisa”
“Laura and her wonderful family are truly one of a kind! From the moment Cooper stayed with them, I knew he was in the best hands. Laura, her husband, and their two sweet toddlers welcomed him like part of the family and treated him with so much love and care. Cooper came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. It’s obvious how much attention and affection they give, and it meant the world to know he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while we were away. I can’t recommend Laura highly enough; she and her family are the absolute sweetest, and we feel so lucky to have found them! 🐾💛”
“Melanie has been a wonderful dog sitter for my miniature pinscher mix Lulu! Lulu went on a regular basis for doggy daycare in the fall of 2025 and early 2026 before we moved away. Melanie was always responsive, caring and provided regular updates with photos and video after every daycare session. Lulu is going to miss going to Melanie’s house and playing with her friend Finn. Thank you Melanie!”

About: I have spent most of my life around animals, and have worked with them professionally for nearly two decades. My family welcomed our first dog, a 140lb Golden Retriever, when I was just four years old. Since then, I have cared for a variety of my own companion animals, including cocker spaniels, pit bulls, mastiffs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, chinchillas, birds, lizards, and fish. My professional experience includes working at boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, pet stores and wildlife centres. I have worked with many individuals and organizations in the local animal care and veterinary community. While I enjoy working with all animals, I have a special affinity towards big dogs, oversized cats, and ducks. My schedule is quite flexible, and I work locally with a light booking load, so your beloved pets will receive my undivided attention while under my watchful care. I understand the importance of familiarity and routine for animals, which is why I offer petsitting in your home.

When I stay with your pets I treat your home with upmost respect and care, and you can trust that your fur family are in good hands while you're away.

About: I spent my childhood helping my grandparents take care of animals at their boarding kennel and have been a huge animal lover ever since. I have had several animals of my own (dogs, cat, fish, & bunny). I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have started offering pet-sitting services, locally & abroad, for the past three years. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other small animals. I treat every pet like family, making sure they’re comfortable in their own home environment while you’re away. You can count on me to provide not just the basics - food, walks, and play - but also companionship, calm presence, and genuine care. I have experience caring for senior pets who need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. I understand how to move at their pace, notice the little signs when they’re tired or uncomfortable, and keep them feeling safe and loved. I run (mostly-online) businesses that provides a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I can work around your pet’s usual routine to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I am adaptable and reliable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, or playtime. Safety is always my top priority - I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I want you to feel complete peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and loved, and your home is cared for just as you left it.
About: I will go above and beyond for your pet. I will treat your pet like I would my own. I’ve been around animals all of my life. Anything you need, please let me know. I rescued a cat, Jaxon. He’s 8 years old. He’s treated like a king in my house. It’s his world and I’m just living in it :) I like to clean the litter as soon as the animals use it. Happy to brush any animals if they like it, mine loves it. Food, meds or any special treats, happy to serve up! Fulfilling your requests and needs is what I’m all about.
About: I've taken care for my cat Nora 10 years and almost other 10 years for my daughter's cat Nia. My husband and I love very much pets. I am currently working from home part time and I have plenty of time to play with your lovely pets. I am available for weekends and holidays as well. I have fenced backyard and house with many rooms. I live with my husband who loves pets very much especially cats. I have car and time to pick up and drop off pets.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, different sizes, ages and breeds. Big importance with leash manners and socializing. Dogs are a big part of my life and that will never change Currently working part time and have alot of free time, mainly during the week. Very flexible during all hours, whatever the pups need, I’m there! I love going for walks, lots of trials by my house and others dogs for socializing. I do not have a fenced in backyard but some grass to play
About: I have never known family that did not include a pet. Growing up we always had a cat in the home. In my adult life I have raised and loved 4 border collies from puppy to senior and every stage between. We currently have a 13 year old Border Collie Bella and an 8 year old Border Collie Carl. I love to spend time outdoors hiking, walking and playing with the dogs and will adapt my routine to your dogs needs. I am confident with high energy breeds but lower energy breeds will fit in with my pups just as easily. I can care for your cats or dogs in my home or yours and will take the time to understand your pets routine, needs and preferences so their lives experience as little disruption as possible while you are away! I generally work from home and have a very flexible schedule meaning I can design my day around your pets routine. I occasionally work out of the home but am always available to pop in for walks/breaks so your pet is never left alone for too long. I will take the time prior to caring for your pet to learn their routine and understand their needs. If your dog stays with us they will become part of the family with my two border collies. We live on a quiet rural road, right across from the bruce trail meaning we can trail walks and hikes are safe and easy. I offer boarding services (at my home) for dogs only I offer pet sitting in your home for dogs and cats.
“Chlsy is super kind and responsive. She got back to me very quickly and was incredibly professional. Zara was very comfortable with Chlsy even though she can sometimes take a bit too warm up to someone new. I needed someone for a last minute walk and she was fantastic! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for animals for years and currently live with a puppy, an adult dog, and a bunny, and I’ve had my cat for 8 years. I’m experienced with daily routines, walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and treating every pet like family. 🐾 As a student training to become a pilot, I have a well-organized schedule and love spending my free time with animals. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or cuddle time, I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their families are away. I share my home with two French Bulldogs, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life! We enjoy walks, playing fetch, and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just to keep them company. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.
About: 🐾 About Me: Professional Care, Puppy-Level Enthusiasm! Hi, I'm Natasha! I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer who needs a structured routine, a growing puppy working on their manners, or a sweet senior who just wants a quiet couch to snooze on, I tailor my care to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy. Why Choose Me? Structured & Mindful Approach: I don't just "watch" dogs; I pay close attention to their body language, routines, and comfort levels. If you are working on specific training milestones (like crate training, loose-leash walking, or socialization), I am happy to help maintain that consistency while you're away! Active & Adaptive: From energetic hikes and outdoor play to calm, enriching indoor puzzles, I adapt the day's pacing to match your dog's age and energy level. Clear, Daily Communication: You'll get regular updates and photo check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I maintain a structured, full-time schedule that allows me to dedicate my days entirely to pet care. I don’t believe in leaving pets alone for long stretches, so your furry family member will enjoy a highly attentive environment. Whether maintaining a progressive exercise routine for an active dog, supporting a service candidate puppy working on their focus and manners, or providing quiet company for a senior pet, my schedule adapts to their needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is sticking to their comfort routine while you're away. I live in a cozy, secure, and entirely pet-friendly space that is kept clean and free of hazards. While I don’t have a private yard, I completely make up for it with a highly active and structured routine! Outdoor time is intentional and frequent. We will go on regular, timed leash walks and local outdoor adventures tailored entirely to your dog’s age and energy level. Inside, the vibe is peaceful and relaxing—perfect for refueling after a good walk. I have plenty of room for crates, beds, and indoor enrichment puzzles to keep your pup happy and content.

About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“Michelle watched our 2 year old dog, Bo, overnight, and he had the absolute best time! Michelle sent frequent updates of Bo playing with her dogs, taking walks and overall having a lot of fun. I recommend if you are in the Collingwood area to have Michelle watch your pets 100% of the time.”
“Heather really looked after my dogs. She sent pictures updating me with what they were up to. I felt relaxed while we were away and will use Heather again 🐾”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anne while she cared for our dog, Wilson, during our vacation. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she made us feel completely at ease. During the pre-stay meet and greet, it was clear how comfortable Wilson felt with her—and that carried through the entire stay. Anne sent us daily pictures and videos, which not only reassured us but also showed how happy and well-cared-for Wilson was. She is so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring—it honestly felt like Wilson was on his own vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely trust Anne with Wilson again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 4. (Family dogs) then I have had 3 dogs that I have had with my own family. Can’t live without out one in my life. Looked after friends and other family dogs for them. Love getting out for a walk with a dog. I’m self employed and I’m working part time. So I have lots of time to take care of dogs. Being self employed I can make time to giving your dog the best care by being here for them. I have a fenced in yard. Plus love taking dogs for walks. I’m willing to do what makes the customer happy. I don’t have a dog of my own at this time. We just lost our family dog of 14yrs.
“Dale was absolutely amazing with our often difficult to manage dog. We were amazed at how well she managed him, and will absolutely use her again in the future. We were given updates throughout his stay, and felt confident knowing she was looking after our pup”
“We were very pleased with the care Dex received with Jessica. She sent updates and pictures often which gave us peace of mind and very secure. Dex was well taken care of and she really cared for him. I would definitely use her again.”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Could not be happier with the service provided. Our boy Gus has been back three times now. This last time for 11 days while we were away on holidays. They updated us often with pictures. Gus being a very rambunctious 14 month old lab is notoriously bad on a leash. After his prolonged stay he was noticeably better on his leash and continues to be. Would recommend for sure.”
“Natasha and Sandro were amazing dog sitters! They went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable in their home. Lightning enjoyed playing with their dog, Phoenix. It was great seeing messages from them along with updated pics too. Thank you for taking such good care of Lightning.”
“Shannon’s home is warm and welcoming. We always know that our dog Maple will be well taken care of because she is treated like one of the family. Shannon is our go to dog sitter for whenever we need someone to care for Maple.”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Michelle and Rob are very kind and welcoming people. Our Lilly was well looked after, we were able to go and have a worry free vacation. We would recommend them to anyone needing their fur babies looked after.”
“What an amazing experience with Vidya! Took such great care of our pup. Sent us picture and video updates of our boy the entire time we were away. Would highly recomend!”
“Sheila is awesome and very responsive. She was great with my Golden Retriever, Mabel. She sent regular updates and photos. Mabel got personalized attention and slept on the bed at night. Sheila also took some fabulous photos of Mabel that are of photography studio quality.”
“Melanie is great, I bring my GSD Simba to her regularly, she’s very supportive and accommodating even on short notices. Simba enjoys his stay with Melanie and her lovely dogs and returns happy and tired. I’ve tried day care and boarding services and I’m very satisfied with all the care she provides is both services. Didn’t see any negative changes on Simba’s behaviour after mingling with Melanie’s dogs. I would like to thank Melanie for her amazing care and would like to highly recommend her services as a dog sitter or boarding.”
