“Liz is very attentive and caring for my puppy Samoyed that’s 5months old. We put our puppy with Liz few days for boarding since we are went for a short trip, and we absolutely love her. She sent me pictures and always keeping me updated with my puppy on a regular basis. My puppy is so happy that she gets to play with other dogs and a backyard that she can comfortably run around the grass. If you are looking for someone who is responsible and trustful, highly recommend Liz and will definitely come back!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”

“Yue did a wonderful job with our puppy. It was our first time leaving her and she did so much to re -assure us our puppy was in good hands. She sent us updates and pictures and was so loving and kind. Thanks so much Yue. We will definitely be booking with Yue on our next trip away.”
“Diana and Kris did an excellent job. They took good care of our toy poodle Luca who is an active dog and likes to be the centre of attraction. Diana went above and beyond because she was able to teach some tricks to Luca. They consistently sent photos and videos while we were away for 4days and kept us informed about Luca’s well being. It really gave us peace of mind because she was comfortable with them specially with their kids. We were so fortunate to have found a reliable pet sitter for Luca. We highly recommend them!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I'm so happy I found Bo. He was so caring with Pluto and kept us up to date with everything they did. I really appreciated the photos.”
“I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Li provided for Jelly. She is experienced, attentive, and genuinely cares about Jelly. She kept me updated with many photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was traveling. I could relax knowing my dog was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Yuxi! This is the third time we've entrusted her with our dog, Miku, and each time has been an absolute delight. Yuxi treats Miku like her own, providing so much love, care, and attention. We always receive regular updates and photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we're away. Miku is always happy and well taken care of when we return, and we can tell she feels right at home with Yuxi. We're already looking forward to the next time and wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone in need of a loving, responsible dog sitter. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Mira and Charles took excellent care of our dog, Bentley! Before the stay, they asked lots of good questions about his personality and needs, so they could provide him with the best possible care. While we were away, they shared frequent updates and lots of photos and videos with us. We wouldn't hesitate to have them look after Bentley again.”
“Angela has been an exceptional dog sitter for Koka. Her genuine love for animals shines through, and Koka always comes back happy and well-cared-for. Angela goes the extra mile, ensuring not just basic needs are met but also engaging in playful activities, especially with Quentin. I highly recommend Angela for her professionalism, reliability, and the genuine joy she brings to dog sitting.”
“My dog was with Caroline for 10 days. He was excited to see me, but was prepared to stay with her, where he has a vacation as good as mine. I love leaving him with Caroline, because I know he is not only safe and fed, but loved by Caroline and her own dog.”
“Yu-Pei was very attentive to Bella’s needs and kept us updated throughout our time out of town. Bells came home her same old self, clearly having gotten her exercise and her routines maintained. We’ll be sure to book again.”
“Amy was a fantastic cat sitter (via boarding) for our Amber. She gave Amber all the care and patience needed, and she was also very understanding with us when we were stressing out about something that we were concerned with (which turned out to not be an issue at all, it resolved itself once Amber got more settled in to the new environment). Amy was very prompt and detailed with her daily updates to us and overall she went above and beyond with the level of care she provided. We highly recommend her and we will gladly enlist her services again in the future.”
“Carrie and Jason were awesome of taking care of Pinky. They made sure we were informed of her daily activities with pictures and video sent daily. This was our first time using this service and will definitely consider them again in the future.”

“This was our first time leaving Lola completely on her own, and without the company of anyone she knew, so I was naturally worried about how she would be while we were away. Angela totally put my mind at ease, and I knew Lola would be in good hands. Communication was great, and especially appreciated when a “technical issue “ arose. Most important of all, we came home to a happy, healthy kitty. Thank you Angela! 😻”
About: I’ve taken care of younger cats, but have the patience and understanding for older cats as well. I started fostering two years ago and helped find homes for 8 cats. From the street to their furever homes!
“Wai Ming was a fantastic sitter for our cat Wicket! He was very understanding of her needs and gave her space when she needed it. It built trust and I could tell Wicket enjoyed her time and felt safe.”
“It was so easy to work with Venus, and she and our cat Ryder, got along so well right away. She communicates well, sends videos and photos, is very accommodating and you can just feel her love towards Ryder. Highly recommended. Thanks again and we'll be in touch for next time.”
“Danya was absolutely amazing! My cats loved her from the first moment, even my black cat, that usually doesn't go to everybody. I loved the reports, so I could see how my fur babies doing. When I came back, my cats looked healthy and happy even gain a bit of weight)) Everything was left nice and clean too.”
“Selina did an amazing job watching our cats for 10 days while we were away, she was attentive and caring, our cats absolutely adored her. She was also very trustworthy and excellent at communicating with us. We will be using her services again next time we travel.”
About: I love dogs of all sizes and temperaments and will always treat your pup like my own, complete with tons of photo and video updates! I own an 8yo Shiba and 4yo Samoyed, cared for a senior Shih Tzu, and have fostered reactive dogs. I'm fully comfortable with training routines, medications, recovery care, and raw or specialized diets for any walks or drop-in visits. Let me know and I can follow any routine! I’m currently working from home, so I can definitely do any walks or drop-ins needed with my schedule! Monday to Friday with some weekends can work - just message me or check my calendar! Safety and proper routine are my top priorities. I weight train 3 times a week and have experience walking high-energy puppies up to big husky/spitz breeds. I’m comfortable using any gear or harness setup your dog requires to ensure secure, happy and controlled walks. During drop-ins, I’m happy to follow exact feeding routines, give oral or topical medications, and leave your home secure before I head out.
“I had the pleasure of having Wing as my drop-in sitter for over a month while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is extremely responsible, always on time, and truly kind to my two cats. Wing took great care of them — refilling their food, changing their water, cleaning the litter box, and even helping with the water tank for my vacuum robot. As a cat owner who misses their pets dearly while traveling, I was especially grateful for the photos and videos Wing sent during every visit. They brought me so much comfort and peace of mind, knowing my cats were well cared for and happy. I truly appreciate her dedication and care — it made all the difference during my time away. Highly recommended!”
“Lorena and Mark took care of our cats twice a day for three long weeks! They were extremely professional and easy to get in touch with when needed. They kept us in the loop by sending lovely videos and photos, which was comforting for us. We can't thank them enough for their attention and care for our fur babies. We highly recommend them for anyone who'll be away from home for a while.”
“Yee Yan did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She’s super detailed and genuinely concerned about every little thing. With her vet tech background, I know my cat’s in good hands. I’ll definitely rebook her next time.”
“Yu-Sum watched our 3 cats while we were on vacation last week. She was a delight and a big hit with my cats which was a surprise since they are typically shy and take a long time to warm up to strangers. During our vacation, our cat sitter had an emergency at our house and she immediately alerted us and helped handle the situation. She also watered our plants and emptied our pool strainer for us which was super helpful. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I will treat your babies as if they were my own, send you lots of pics. I am a reliable, caring person who is trustworthy! Would love to work with you :) I love both cats and dogs and have been caring for animal for over 8 years. I will do my best to make both you and your pet feel at ease under my care. I’m an active person so can take your baby on runs, hikes, outings if you like! We can discuss this further. Please message me if you would like to learn more. I work at the big 5 bank in capital markets so I am professional and a hardworker. I’m family oriented and currently working from home so I will be able to tend to their needs.
About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.
About: Dogs are family! They deserve long walks, belly rubs and play time. I can provide your dog with walks, runs, fun play time or whatever he/she likes when you leave them with me. I love taking long walks and enjoying nature so I believe your dog will love taking walks with me. Also, I make time for relaxing so if your dog does not like being outside, I can plan fun indoor activities for them to enjoy. Putting fun aside, I am a responsible adult who sees safety as very important when dog sitting. Therefore, I will take every measure to ensure that each dog under my supervision will always be in my sight and out of harms way. Overall, I am very passionate and loving towards dogs. P.S. I grew up around dogs ever since I was born. Some breeds that I have taken care of are Shih tzus, Pomeranian mixes, Rottweilers, Pit bulls and German Sheppards. I currently work part time and can adjust my schedule and take on last minute bookings. So far most of my availability is limited to midday or late afternoon. If you require earlier days please do not hesitate to contact me. I want to learn your fur baby’s preference for play and walk to ensure he or she will have the best time ever! I will treat your home with the utmost respect as if it were mine.
About: What truly sets me apart is my background as a rescue pet parent. I understand that not every pet is 'plug and play', some need extra patience, a calm voice, and time to decompress. My experience has taught me how to read subtle body language and handle pets that may be shy, anxious, or have specific triggers. Additionally, as a working professional with a steady 9 to 5, I bring a high level of organization and reliability to my sittings. I am not someone who will flake or show up late; I treat your pet's schedule with the same respect I give my own career. You can expect detailed updates, photos from every walk, and a sitter who is deeply committed to maintaining your pet's existing routine and home security. Pet care is a dedicated part of my morning and evening routine. Because I work a consistent 9 to 5 schedule, I offer highly reliable and 'on the clock' care that pets thrive on. On Weekdays: I am available for early morning walks or check-ins before 8:30 AM, and I am fully dedicated to pet care starting at 5:30 PM for evening walks, feedings, and playtime. For house-sitting clients, your pet will have my full company throughout the evening and overnight. On Weekends: My schedule is completely open! I use Saturdays and Sundays for longer walks, adventure trail visits in the Markham area, and extended playtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. When walking or visiting your home, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked behind me and double-check leashes and harnesses before heading out. I am always vigilant of my surroundings to avoid high-stress situations or unfriendly off-leash dogs. Having cared for a rescue pet, I am very comfortable managing specialized instructions, from strict feeding schedules to administering medication. I believe in clear communication and will provide frequent photo updates and notes so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in their own comfortable environment. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own family
“As a nervous pet-parent, I couldn’t be more blessed to have found Vanessa to look after my dog when I’m away. Her impressive experience and love of animals showed during our meet and greet and when she looked after our little guy. He adores her! I’ve already rebooked her for our next trip away and I’m reassured having her look after him.”

“Thank you for watching my ol' senior, hard of hearing, and anxious dog today. I appreciate it! I knew he would be in good hands and I enjoyed a day of appointments with peace of mind. Thank you Jin! All the best”
“This was our first time using Liz’s services and she did not disappoint. She was very accommodating, and our little guy was happy and well behaved. Thank you for making this a positive experience.”
“I left my dog Chai with Xiangwen for doggy daycare and she was so amazing. Chai recently had her spay surgery so I needed someone to watch her very attentively and Xiangwen did an amazing job at that. I was very grateful that Xiangwen sent multiple videos and photos of Chai to keep me updated as I’m a very anxious person. When I picked Chai up she was in a good mood and very happy so I know she loved her stay. Overall, I would highly recommend Xiangwen and would definitely book with her again!”
“Having previously worked in commercial dog daycares myself, and seeing the chaos that happens there, I was super nervous about finding a place for Jules to stay while I go into the office. I am really happy to have found Bernice & Mark to look after Jules! They were very understanding and accommodating of Jules’ quirks and were happy to continue the positive reinforcement I use with him at home. I received updates throughout the day with pictures and he was even calm enough to settle and have a nap! Which is a big deal - Jules is usually too overstimulated in new environments to settle, so seeing him so relaxed assured me that I had made the right choice in Bernice & Mark.”

“Emily & Ling took wonderful care of my dog, Ebi! It’s clear they truly love dogs and treated her with so much care. Before the stay, they took the time to do a meet-and-greet, which was really helpful and reassuring. Communication was fast and easy, and we received photo and video updates throughout the day. Ebi is an anxious dog, so I’m always a bit nervous about leaving her with a sitter, but Emily & Ling made the entire process worry-free. We’d love to bring Ebi back for future stays. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we are so happy with the experience. Susan was great to communicate with, and it's clear that Willow had a great time in their care. Susan sent regular pictures that showed Willow enjoying herself. Susan and Gordon have lots of experience with dogs and took such great care of our pup! We'll definitely be using their services again.”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for over 2 years and run a full pet-loving household of my own — a Border Collie puppy, a Siberian Forest Cat, and a British Shorthair. Raising a high-energy puppy means I'm comfortable with leash work, crate routines, and active breeds, and I'm patient and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace. I can give oral medication, handle nail trims and brushing, and I make my own healthy dehydrator treats. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Mandarin. I work from home full-time, so pet care isn't squeezed into spare time — it's my main focus all day, every day of the week. Your pet is rarely left alone for long. I keep consistent feeding, walking, and play times, and I'm happy to do up to 4 walks a day plus regular backyard play. Because I'm flexible and always home, I can easily match my routine to your pet's normal schedule rather than forcing them into a new one. Safety is the first thing I set up. I have pet gates on the stairs of every floor, so cats and dogs are kept completely separate and never mix. Boarding cats stay upstairs, where each family's cat gets their own private, dog-free room, while dogs stay on the main floor and in a fully fenced, escape-proof backyard. I currently board cats already, I monitor every guest's appetite, litter, energy, and mood daily, and I can give oral medication exactly on schedule.
“Winny and her partner were amazing with Milo! As first-time doggy daycare parents, we felt completely at ease thanks to their care and the thoughtful photo updates. It was so reassuring to see Milo happy, adjusting well, and even being gentle with their cats. They showed such love, patience, and attention…really we’re truly grateful and already looking forward to Milo’s next visit. Highly recommend (I’ve already referred a friend)! 😊”
“Claire is great. I was very nervous about leaving my puppy with anyone but she was so gentle with him. She also sent me updates during the day along with pictures and a video. I am very happy I chose Claire and would highly recommend her.”
About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine passion for animals. Whether it's energetic puppies who need extra playtime and consistency, adult pets who enjoy routine, or senior pets who require a gentler approach and extra attention, I adapt my care to each pet's individual needs. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, and updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their families. I'm retired and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Having pets in my home fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always a priority, and being home most of the day means I can give them the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a retired sitter who is home most of the time, I can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's property, ensuring pets receive consistent care in a familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and receiving the love and attention they deserve while they're away.

“We’re so grateful to Sam for taking such good care of our dog for the day. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, which gave us so much peace of mind. She shared so many photos and videos throughout the day, which we truly appreciated and loved seeing. Our pup came home relaxed and happy — the best sign!

“It was our first time using Rover and Courtney is amazing. She was so great with our 2 dogs. We used her for 2 days for walks and check ins. She sent pictures and updates and made the whole process easy for us. Great experience and we will definitely be using her again”
“John and Vanessa are amazing, from our meet and greet to the walk they are both so kind and patient. Our boy can be anxious on walks but John was great giving him time to get comfortable and played with him. Will definitely re-book and highly recommend them”
About: My journey started as a volunteer at dog and cat shelters before I have any pets myself. I’ve cared for pets as a foster, TrustedHousesitter, and a cat mom for over 4 years. I also grew up with my grandma’s dogs, so I’m familiar with both cats and dogs of different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to create a calm, loving, and consistent environment while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular feeding, playtime, and cuddles - or quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer. I live in a spacious townhouse that’s clean, quiet, and pet-safe, perfect for boarding or drop-in visits. If I’m staying at your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give my own space, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in a familiar environment. For boarding requests, your pet will have their own space in the guest room and a camera set up for instant monitoring. They won’t be interacting with any other animals unless requested, and will have constant play time and cuddles. For drop ins, I will have play time, brushing, cuddles, feeding time and litter box clean up. All visits come with photos and videos updates.

About: Hi! I’m a professional nurse, a trilingual communicator (EN/粵/國), and an experienced cat caregiver. On top of raising my own two cats from kittenhood—my eldest is now 5 years old—I am the go-to cat sitter for my friends whenever they travel. Combining my RN medical instincts with years of personal and trusted friend-care, I offer attentive, safe, and stress-free sitting so you can travel with absolute peace of mind! Because I have a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine!

As a dedicated cat specialist, I provide care exclusively in the comfort of your home, where your cat feels safest. My priority is keeping their exact routine to minimize any stress while you are away. My visits include precise feeding, refreshing water bowls, daily litter box scooping, and tailored attention—whether that means active playtime or just quiet companionship.

“Bernice was great! First time using Rover and she was flexible and easy to communicate with. She invited Zack and I to come and meet her outside her place so we could meet her dog Gala before they went off together. Zack had not eaten that morning and Bernice was kind enough to spoil him by hand feeding him! -I think both were entertained for the day! I have no hesitation in recommending Bernice look after your pet.”
“Christina is reliable and trustworthy, taking great care of my two bichon poodles, Willow and Shiloh. They’re always happy after their walks, and I’m confident they’re in good hands.”
About: I bring a calm, loving presence that helps pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while their people are away. With lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and even fish, I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, so I focus just as much on supporting you as I do your pet. My strong sense of accountability means you can count on consistent communication, reliable routines, and thoughtful attention to every detail. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. From the day I was born dogs have been a part of my life. I've been blessed with many wonderful fur brothers and sisters. After moving out I would pet sit when my parents went on vacation. I enjoyed my time volunteering at the Toronto Humane Society walking dogs. There I learned how to manage many different doggie personalities. And I'm happy to share I've just completed the CPR for Dogs and Cats course with the Canadian Red Cross (after receiving my First Aid & CPR/AED Certification) so that I'm prepared for an emergency! I currently work part‑time, which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for your pet. My schedule is flexible as I’m building my client base, so I’m able to accommodate daytime visits, longer stays, and last‑minute needs when possible. I prioritize sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that means early‑morning walks, midday check‑ins, or evening feeding and playtime. My goal is to make sure your pet gets consistent, attentive care without any rush. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat both your space and your animal with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow your routines closely so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood — whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or quiet companionship. I keep your home tidy, lock up carefully, and make sure everything is left exactly as I found it. I provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort. My goal is to make your time away as stress‑free as possible by giving your pet loving, reliable care in the environment where they feel most at ease.
“Thank you so much again, both of you 🙏 For helping walk Caeser tonight! It was great meeting Fuji as well 🐾🥰 I'm sure they both had fun and will definitely book with you again in the future!”

I will adhere to your pet's specific feeding schedule, ensuring they receive the appropriate amount of food and fresh water daily. This consistency helps maintain their health and routine. Whether it's walking your dog or engaging in interactive play with your cat,I ensure your pets get the physical and mental stimulation they need. This helps prevent boredom and promotes overall well-being. If your pet requires medication, I can administer it according to your veterinarian's instructions. I will keep detailed records to ensure accuracy and consistency. Personalized Care: I take the time to understand your pet's unique needs and preferences, tailoring my services accordingly. Experienced & Knowledgeable: With hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I am equipped to handle diverse pet care requirements. Reliable & Trustworthy: I am committed to providing dependable care, ensuring your pets are in safe hands. Peace of Mind: Regular updates and open communication keep you informed about your pet's well-being, allowing you to enjoy your time away without worry.
About: I have over 2 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. While living in an apartment, I often helped my roommate take care of her pets whenever she was busy or away. I was responsible for feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. She always gave me wonderful feedback and often told me she felt completely at ease leaving her pets in my care. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like a member of my own family. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and provide loving, patient, and reliable care. Once I accept a booking, I make it my priority. I arrange my schedule around each reservation and complete my personal work outside of the booked hours whenever possible. This allows me to give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has its own routine, and I always do my best to follow the owner’s instructions so they feel safe and comfortable for while you’re away. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications (if needed), and any special care requests. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up with pets and spending lots of time around dogs and cats my whole life has provided me with the skills to take care of yours! I will treat them as my own. I am in between jobs right now and am very available! Weekends, weekdays days and nights. I also have a car and can either walk or drive to your location depending on the distance. I'm an active person who enjoys long walks, hiking, and spending time outdoors, making me a great companion for energetic dogs. I'm also happy to match the pace of older pets or those who simply enjoy relaxing and getting plenty of cuddles. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
About: I primarily focus on cat care and have hands-on experience taking care of my own cat. I understand daily routines such as feeding, litter cleaning, and interactive play. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to a cat’s behavior and comfort level. I am experienced with playful and curious cats, and I always ensure interactions are safe and stress-free. I prefer working with cats to provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel secure and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I am able to dedicate consistent time to caring for cats throughout the day. I can provide regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention based on your cat’s routine. I maintain a very clean and hygienic environment. I vacuum daily and clean the litter box at least twice a day to ensure comfort and cleanliness. I also provide regular grooming care, including cleaning around the eyes and face, wiping paws, and maintaining overall hygiene. I pay close attention to small details to keep cats comfortable and well cared for. When needed, I use pet-safe natural insect repellent before outdoor exposure and keep up with routine parasite prevention to protect against fleas and ticks.
About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.

Virtual meets are also offered under certain circumstances. I ask a list of important questions during screening to make sure your pet and my space are a great match.

Throughout my trip, they provided consistent daily updates with photos and videos, which was incredibly reassuring and important to me. It was clear from the updates that Milo became more and more comfortable as the stay went on! You could really see it in her body language and expressions. That alone speaks volumes about the care, patience, and genuine heart they put into looking after her. When I picked Milo up, she was in great condition, happy, healthy, and well cared for :) which gave me total peace of mind. I truly felt that Milo was not just looked after, but cared for with love.
