“Holly is incredible! From the meet and greet a few weeks before the stay to the daily photo and update while we were gone, we knew our dog was in good hands. She (our dog) was happy and healthy when we picked her up and Holly’s updates had details that let us know our pup was relaxing into her regular self and routine. We are so happy to have found Holly!”
“Thank you Linda & Bob for taking such good care of Chester once again! We appreciate how you keep him busy with walks (which he loves) to keep him distracted from missing his parents.”
“Brigit was absolutely amazing from the first time I spoke with her to the day I picked up my boy! The love she has for animals (great dane in my case) is unbelievable as my dog walked in and felt right at home during the meet and greet. Brigit loves to find out every small detail about your pet so she can make sure your pet is treated the exact way they are at home! She sends lots of updates which I appreciate. We have a large breed which involved some strict guidelines and Brigit followed everything so carefully. I HIGHLY recommend her and Robert and will most definitely be booking again! What a wonderful experience, and I didn't feel stressed at all while we were gone. Thank You!”
“Pamesha is friendly, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and my dog came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“I had a great experience with Sadie. She provided frequent updates even after I had already left the country, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. From the photos, it was clear that Mochi felt very comfortable and settled with her. She was also very accommodating and flexible when I needed to change the location last minute, which I really appreciated. Overall, I felt Mochi was in very good hands and would definitely book again.”
“Kirti is such a wonderful and experienced sitter. She always keeps us updated with photos, which we really appreciate. Our husky can be a bit vocal and has some separation anxiety, but whenever she’s with Kirti, we feel completely at ease. Kirti handles her so patiently and lovingly, and it’s clear that our dog feels happy and comfortable in her care. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Ana took fantastic care of Korra. We especially appreciated the lovely photos we got every day of Korra playing and enjoying her walks! This is not the first time we left Korra with Ana, and we'll happily use Ana's services again.”
“Melissa is really warm and welcoming - we left our 11 month old puppy for 5 days. Although we were nervous to leave him, he was well taken care of and we will use Melissa in the future!”
About: I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs since I got my own when I was 8. I have been around dogs of all different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I love them all! I have always been the go to dog sitter for friends and family because I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Every dog has its own needs and routine so I will always make sure they are loved, cared for, and come home happy! I am currently in my 3rd year at Queen’s studying Health. I am available all day Thursday-Sunday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing. I live in a central area in Kingston with nearby parks and lots of walkable streets. My home also has plenty of room for a dog and it has an outdoor area!
“Madison was so caring with my dog Pepper, and sent so many updates and pictures! Pepper played so well with Madison’s dog Fin (such a sweetie!), and I didn’t worry about her at all while we were away! I appreciated her quick responses so much!”
“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“I had never boarded my dogs, an old, scared Golden Retriever and an energetic Border Collie-X so I was worried. When I met Robyn and saw her setup, I was confident that she was a good choice. Both dogs took to her right away. While I was away, Robyn sent me updates and photos every day. My Golden, Dakota didn't want to do much...I expected that. Genie, the border collie-x had a great time. She even found a playmate in one of the day borders. Robyn says my girls are always welcome back. I highly recommend her.”
“Buddy spent another fun and relaxing vacation with Caitlin! We so appreciate how we can fully enjoy our time away knowing that Buddy is being well cared for and having so much fun! Thanks again Caitlin!”
“Dhanesha took good care of our energetic 10 months old Floppy and sent us pictures and updates at least twice per day. She and her partner did a great job and were very friendly to talk to, we highly recommend them!”
“Ricci took such great care of our Waldo! You can tell she is such an animal lover when you meet her. She sent updates and photos so we had peace of mind when we were away. Waldo will be a repeat customer!”
“A big thank you to Kristiina and Peter for taking amazing care of our Roxie. Roxie felt right at home and was looked after very well. Kristiina was very flexible with Roxie and took her for long walks which Roxie loves. We would recommend Kristiina with no hesitation at all. I am sure that we will use Kristiina again. Thank you again Kristiina and Peter for looking after our precious Roxie.”
“Charlie took amazing care of our girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Woody was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. Charlie was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.

“Alyce took great care of my two cats while we were away for a few days, and developed skills related to drawing up and administering insulin to our diabetic cat. She was enthusiastic, willing to learn, reliable and friendly and we could not be more pleased with her service! She was also very prompt with her responses and we would be happy to have her care for them again :)”
“Treena looked after my cat Sweet Cheeks for a week coming to my home twice daily. I can tell by the pictures that were sent to me that my cat absolutely fell in love with Treena. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Treena for taking good care of Sweet Cheeks”
“Mary took great care of my older cat! She was easy to communicate with, gave helpful updates, and I appreciated her comfort with giving medications. Altogether lovely to work with! Would book again if I needed to :)”
“Courtney was so great with my cat, Arya. Arya is normally very skittish around strangers and Courtney was able to engage with her. She also followed all of my care instructions perfectly . 10/10 recommend Courtney.”
“Luke was fantastic. He is very responsive and friendly. Texting and coordinating with him was a breeze, and I felt very safe with him in charge of things. I received timely updates and he seemed to get a genuine kick out of my pets (the photos were very cute). I'd recommend him very strongly!”
About: With nearly a decade of pet-sitting experience, I have helped with training cats and dogs in skills such as "sit", "down", and "high-five". I have a six-year-old Australian Labradoodle, whom I regularly care for. I'm a student in Kingston and work as a lifeguard/swim instructor, so my schedule varies by season. I like to plan my Rover commitments monthly and prioritize dog walking services. I enjoy providing pet care while I'm away from my hometown (Ottawa), as I have a dog of my own whom I miss dearly. When providing house sitting services, I am dedicated to maintaining open communication with clients via daily texts, photos, and/or emails. Please let me know of your pet's favourite activities, including walks, playing fetch, arranging play-dates, and visiting dog parks.
“Shelley is so awesome! I could tell that she genuinely cared about my cat, and she took great care of him (she even learned how to give him his inhaler!) Henry loved hanging out with her, and I would absolutely ask her to care for him again :)”
About: Hi! My name is Mia and I grew up caring for many different types of animals; from geese to rabbits to ducks, cats, and dogs, I’ve seen a lot! I am comfortable caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, as long as they are in relatively good health. I am currently working as a part-time childcare provider for ~6 hours a week. Other than that, I work from home where I prepare graduate school applications. When caring for a beloved pet(s) in your home, I am happy to send plenty of pictures and videos, give updates on their mood and behaviour, and offer pets and cuddles if it suits them.
“Georgia was amazing! She came to our house before we went away to do a meet-and-greet and learn a little bit about our cat, which was really great. Georgia was communicative, kind, and took great care of our little guy. We would highly recommend Georgia!”
“Our cat Alphie was so well taken care of by Mary! She intuited Alphie’s preferences and he immediately took to her. The daily photo updates were also wonderful! We will definitely be one of her repeat customers.”
About: My first pet was a cat and her love & personality made me a forever cat lover. I have cared for cats since I was 10. I have owned 3 cats since my childhood baby, and have 2 of them now! I have experience with administering medications, liquid and pills. My 2nd baby was born deaf so I am comfortable with any impairments your pets may have. I also love taking my one cat outside leashed & monitored if that’s something yours would enjoy.
About: 🐱🐱🐾🐾🐱🐱 Because your cat deserves more than just the basics! I provide cuddles, playtime, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and lots of love while you’re away. Think of me as your kitty’s new best friend — keeping them happy, safe, and spoiled (in the best way).

“Our dog took to Peter right away! Steeler had a blast playing with Peter’s dog and we were entirely comfortable with Peter’s care for a day. He was flexible and responsive too. No hesitations to recommend his services.”
About: RELIABLE AND CARING PET SERVICES: I have 6+ years of veterinary assistant experience and 2+ years of safety-focused dog-walking from volunteering at the local humane society. I love dogs of any size or breed, and have experience with cats and most farm animals, as well. I would love to help with any kind of pet care you may require! I have extensive experience with administering medications and monitoring conditions, so I would be comfortable caring for older, sick, or special needs’ dogs, as well as dogs of any kind of temperament. I am familiar with basic training concepts and able to reinforce current practices to help meet goals while in my care. My family dog, Finn, is a very high-energy Irish Setter, so I can also accommodate and enjoy spending time with dogs of all energy levels! I am comfortable and happy providing 2+ hours of outdoor exercise in hiking environments (on-leash) if you are comfortable with me transporting your pet in my SUV vehicle. My compressed work schedule allows plenty of time for attentive pet- and house-sitting to keep your furry family members happy and entertained - please see my ongoing availability! I am able to follow all preferred pet owner protocols diligently. I am aware of the importance of safe food and substance storage, as well as monitoring for normal bodily functions and detecting common signs of distress which may require medical attention.
“She was phenomenal with my babies. Gave the kitties space to feel comfortable, and loved on my friendly pup from the start. She kept me updated, and asked questions without spamming me at work. She took the job with 2 days notice and was incredibly understanding when I was running late. I cannot suggest Katherine enough.”
“Daniel was an amazing dog sitter for Sundae! He was so kind and friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving her in his care. He played with her, took her for walks, and kept us updated throughout the day with lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Sundae was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely leave her with Daniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter! 🐶❤️”
About: Heyy! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I’m especially experienced with reactive and separation anxiety dogs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, so I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I genuinely love hosting and caring for animals, and I’d be excited to give your pet the same attention, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a university student with only 1–4 hours of classes per day during the week, and Mondays are completely free. Outside of class and on weekends, I’m usually home with plenty of time to care for your pets. I have lots of time and energy for pups, including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home very clean and organized and have quality pet supplies to make pets feel comfortable. For daycare and boarding, I can care for pets in my home or yours. My home has a spacious, private bedroom that can be used as a safe and comfortable space for your pet when they need quiet time or rest. I’m also very attentive to cleanliness and will regularly clean up after pets to keep their environment fresh and hygienic. For house sitting, I’m flexible and can potentially stay at your home full-time depending on your needs and preferences.
“Ana was very friendly, polite and knew exactly how to take care of my Chico. Definitely recommend her to anyone who need to leave their furbabies either for a few hours or a few days.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Walelign. Mimi was very well cared for, and we truly appreciated the constant communication, we always received quick and thoughtful updates whenever we reached out. Mimi came back calm and happy, which means a lot to us. She is usually quite anxious around new people, but she didn’t show any signs of stress this time and didn’t cry at all. It was clear she felt safe and comfortable. Walelign truly went above and beyond, and we are very grateful. We would absolutely trust him again and feel confident leaving Mimi in his care. Thank you so much!”
“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”
“Eloise is a sweet girl who suffers from anxiety, but Kirti and her husband put her at ease right away. I booked them for two afternoons in a row, and Eloise liked them immediately. They sent me photos and videos of her stay with them, and Eloise was happy when I picked her up. You can’t ask for more from a dog sitter. I will hire them again!”
About: I provide safe, patient, and loving care for pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and focus on reliability, clear communication, and gentle handling. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable attention and flexible care based on each pet’s specific needs and routine. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions, keep doors and gates secure, monitor behavior, and provide gentle supervision at all times. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain routines, and ensure pets receive attentive, trustworthy care.
“Had a wonderful experience with Heather!! She kept me in the loop about my puppy and was very warm and kind. My dog came home happy and calm. Will definitely take her back :)”
“Elsa was wonderful with my dog, Mocha! She has high anxiety and Elsa made sure that she felt comfortable with her right from the start. She was also very accommodating with the hours as we had to move and we didn’t want to stress Mocha out. Would recommend!”
“We had a great experience and Tyrion had a fantastic day. He was tuckered out and happy when we picked him up. We really appreciated the updates and photos during the day and Tyrion seemed to really enjoy playing with the golden retrievers. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a dog-sitter. We will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Pamesha cared for our two pups on short notice. Was quick to communicate, good location for downtown Kingston and friendly. Appreciated the pictures. Would trust Pamesha with our pups again.”
“Ricci has been great with Tony. She's taken care of him a few times now, and he comes back nice and pooped – the sign of a good stay! She has been sensitive to Tony's needs and my training methods, and he's been happy to go back each time.”
About: Our family included a sweet cat who lived to the age of 19. We also have a dog who is 5 years old and we understand the joys of puppy training. We enjoyed Puppy school and agility training and understand what is required to keep dogs happy and well exercised. I recently retired and I am looking for ways to stay active and dog walking is an activity that I enjoy. We currently have our own dog and he loves companions when appropriate. If your pet is not social- no problem! I have a fully fenced yard and a 5 year old mini golden doodle who loves furry friends. I enjoy long walks and am well prepared with treats and water. Rain or snow don't deter me from a walk- its always enjoyable with the right outerwear! I have attended puppy school with my dog and understand the concepts of dog behavior and how to keep dogs in control, engaged and happy.
About: We have a quiet, orderly home with regular routines. Our last dog lived to be 16 years old and needed quite intensive care in the last year. We live in a quiet neighbourhood and are happy to take your pet to the dog park nearby or the Lemoine Point walking trail. I have few daily commitments outside of the home and am seldom gone for more than an hour or two. An anxious or timid dog would do well in my care. I believe in plenty of walks and playtime with favourite toys. I’m also happy to let them cuddle with me as much as they want.
About: Dear pawrents, I have taken care of dogs since I have memory. When I was born, a beautiful German shepherd was brought home and we grew up together, since then, my love for dogs (and all animals) is inexplicable. I have taken care of my own dogs (Belgian and German shepherd, lab, schnauzer, dachshund, mixed, etc.). I have taken care of senior dogs with different needs (medication, carrying them to walk, etc.) and some dogs with diseases such as chronic seizures, cancer and arthritis. As a pet owner myself, I totally get it! Our pets aren't just pets, they're family. And that's why I'm on a mission to give them the VIP treatment they deserve. I'm currently working in a remote (work from home) position, so I have availability to take care of your puppy/ies during the day. I’m available for boarding during the weekends with some breaks in between so I can take care of my own dogs. I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets while respecting the routines and preferences set by the owners. Here's how I typically approach it: - Initial Consultation: I start by scheduling an initial consultation with the owners to discuss their dog's needs, routines, feeding schedules, medical history, and any specific instructions or preferences they may have. - Visits: During my visits, I ensure that the dogs have access to food, water, and a clean environment. I follow their feeding schedule and provide any necessary medications or supplements as instructed by the owners. - Exercise and Playtime: I engage the dogs in regular exercise and playtime sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could include walks, play sessions in the backyard, or games indoors (depending on the weather). - Potty Breaks: I take the dogs out for regular potty breaks according to their usual schedule, ensuring that they are comfortable and their living space remains clean. - Updates and Communication: Throughout my time with the dog(s), I maintain open communication with the owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are in good hands. - Security and Safety: I take measures to ensure the security and safety of the home, such as checking that doors and windows are securely locked and being mindful of any potential hazards in the environment. Overall, my goal is to provide personalized and attentive care to dogs in their own familiar surroundings, minimizing stress and ensuring a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.

About: Hi there! I’m Ekene (feel free to call me Kenny!) 😊 I’m a medical student in Kingston who loves pets! I’ve done a lot of pet-sitting for friends for both their puppies and kittens over the years. The youngest I’ve pet-sat was an 8-week old kitten! Going on walks is one of my favourite activities to pass time, and I’d love to have some furry friends join me. More than happy to just run around and play catch too 🎾 I’m a 2nd year medical student right now, and my schedule/days have pretty consistent hours. After my classes or hospital/clinic work wrap up in the mornings and early afternoons, I’ll be free for walks on most evenings on weekdays, and all-day on weekends. On days when my school programming wraps up around noon, I’ll be free even earlier for afternoon walks! I would love to set up a meet & greet with your pet before we start walks or visits, so that we can get to know each other and establish trust first & foremost. I want every pet to feel comfortable!
About: Grown up taking care of my two Cavalier's for 13 years. Have experience with senior dogs and as they say "No home decor is complete without dog hair!" Back at Queen's University for school.

About: Hello! I'm Thalia, and I live in downtown Kingston neighbourhood close to many parks. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I grew up with and cared for a Wheaton Terrier for 14 years, and have been a dog lover my whole life. With such a flexible work schedule, I have a lot of free time that I'd love to spend hanging with a doggo! I am comfortable with dogs of all ages.

“Vanessa was so great! She tracked how many pee’s my little gremlin took (she marks her territory) and she brought in two of my packages for me which is so nice. Thank you so much Vanessa! Will definitely be contacting you again”
About: I am a life-long animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was 11 years old. I have experience walking dogs of all ages, from excitable puppies to slow-moving seniors. I have also cared for dogs of various temperaments. Whether they are bit over-enthusiatic (like mine), timid, anxious, reactive, or completely nonchalant, I'm patient in getting to know each new pet and their personality. I love learning about the little quirks that make them unique. Through getting to know their routines, likes, and dislikes, I'm committed to giving each animal the best possible care. I currently have a dog and a cat, and I love both animals equally (when asked if I'm a dog person or a cat person, I can't choose!). As a self-employed artist, I can flex my daily work schedule to meet your pet's needs. Mid-morning stroll? No problem. Afternoon trip to the park? On it. Evening drop-in visit? I got you covered. I know from experience that scheduling time to make sure you get your dog out and about can be tricky between work and other commitments. I'm happy to help you give your dog the steps and sniffs they need. I am a self-employed artist, so my schedule is typically quite flexible from week to week. I am open to walks and drop-ins most days from 7am - 7pm. My own dog loves his routine, so I try my best to stick to that. He gets breakfast and dinner at regular times, mental exercise games after meals, regular backyard breaks, 1-2 walks per day, and lots of snuggles and pets. This is the kind of care that I offer to all pets I care for. Specifically for visiting pets and those who I don't know especially well, I make sure to supervise so that they aren't getting into any danger or trouble.

About: I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, and physical differences. I am comfortable providing oral medications by syringe or pills. Previously I have cared for pets who are deaf, blind, or have high levels of anxiety. I am willing to work with & understand their temperaments and personalities. My experience with caring for pets comes from owning my own pets, pet-sitting for friends, and assisting with pet care when I babysat for families. I’m currently working Part time & looking to supplement my work with pet care! I am available during the day for drops in or walks! I am available for short daily walks, longer weekly walks, playtime sessions with your active pup, etc. I am also happy to drop in to spend some quality time with your pet, give them some top up on water/food, and let them do their business!

What a wonderful experience, and I didn't feel stressed at all while we were gone. Thank You!”
“Pamesha is friendly, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and my dog came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“I had a great experience with Sadie. She provided frequent updates even after I had already left the country, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. From the photos, it was clear that Mochi felt very comfortable and settled with her. She was also very accommodating and flexible when I needed to change the location last minute, which I really appreciated. Overall, I felt Mochi was in very good hands and would definitely book again.”
“Kirti is such a wonderful and experienced sitter. She always keeps us updated with photos, which we really appreciate. Our husky can be a bit vocal and has some separation anxiety, but whenever she’s with Kirti, we feel completely at ease. Kirti handles her so patiently and lovingly, and it’s clear that our dog feels happy and comfortable in her care. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Melissa is really warm and welcoming - we left our 11 month old puppy for 5 days. Although we were nervous to leave him, he was well taken care of and we will use Melissa in the future!”
About: I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs since I got my own when I was 8. I have been around dogs of all different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I love them all! I have always been the go to dog sitter for friends and family because I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Every dog has its own needs and routine so I will always make sure they are loved, cared for, and come home happy! I am currently in my 3rd year at Queen’s studying Health. I am available all day Thursday-Sunday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing. I live in a central area in Kingston with nearby parks and lots of walkable streets. My home also has plenty of room for a dog and it has an outdoor area!
“Madison was so caring with my dog Pepper, and sent so many updates and pictures! Pepper played so well with Madison’s dog Fin (such a sweetie!), and I didn’t worry about her at all while we were away! I appreciated her quick responses so much!”
“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“I had never boarded my dogs, an old, scared Golden Retriever and an energetic Border Collie-X so I was worried. When I met Robyn and saw her setup, I was confident that she was a good choice. Both dogs took to her right away. While I was away, Robyn sent me updates and photos every day. My Golden, Dakota didn't want to do much...I expected that. Genie, the border collie-x had a great time. She even found a playmate in one of the day borders. Robyn says my girls are always welcome back. I highly recommend her.”
“Buddy spent another fun and relaxing vacation with Caitlin! We so appreciate how we can fully enjoy our time away knowing that Buddy is being well cared for and having so much fun! Thanks again Caitlin!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. I was nervous about leaving my girl Minnie overnight for the first time. Lisa put my mind at ease quickly, and Minnie was so well cared for. I got frequent updates and photos and she looked very happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Lisa—an attentive caregiver and kind person as well! Will definitely use her again!”
“Dhanesha took good care of our energetic 10 months old Floppy and sent us pictures and updates at least twice per day. She and her partner did a great job and were very friendly to talk to, we highly recommend them!”
“Charlie took amazing care of our girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Woody was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. Charlie was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Our young and energetic labrador had a wonderful weekend with Josephine who kept us updated throughout his stay.He had lots of exercise and swimming g which he adores and he came back to us happy and content. We would highly recommend Josephine’s service and will be booking her again when we need care for Jib!”
“Nicole took our dog for a couple of walks each day and was able to play with both her kids and pets. Nicole also gave us an update on our pet's stay along with a photo.”
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.
