“Natasha is an amazing fur kid sitter. She takes amazing care of Daisy & Delilah and we have no worries when she’s with them. She is responsive to messages and sends updates as often as we request. Natasha was also able to help out last minute due to a family emergency which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Mahan took such great care of our girl, Twix, this weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Twix was in such good hands. You can tell Mahan genuinely cares — we came home to a happy, well-looked-after doggy. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Melissa took great care of Leo during his first dog sitting experience. I really appreciate the quick responses & updates from her on Leo and felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommended!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”
“Kripa is amazing. I got such timely updates, she made sure that my dog was well taken care of. I did not feel worried or stressed at all. And the care for my dog was so good, maybe too good, because my dog didn’t want to leave hahahaha. I highly recommend Kripa & I am looking forward to inquiring for her services again when my dog needs to be looked after.”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful and treated my dog like a princess. I would tell others that you can't find better than Amanda anywhere she goes far beyond what you are expecting. I believe my dog had a better vacation than I had. She was one lucky dog and was truly "Pampered" Jeannie P.”
“We would highly recommend Natalie and Dan and their family. They loved and cared for our fur baby like he was their own. We got lots of updates throughout the week which we greatly appreciated. They put our mind at ease.”
“So communicative during my dogs stay with updates, can’t recommend enough. My dog can be stubborn with feeding when I’m not around and he was absolutely fine and super comfortable!”
“This has to be my favourite puppy sitting ever. Kyla was extremely professional and full of empathy. She treated my dog like her own family and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. The environment inside the home was what won me, my dog didn’t miss us at all as the fury, little and the big members of her family kept my dog so safe and happy. I don’t think I will ever book any other sitter again. Thank you so much Kyla, kids and fury family members for making June feel so happy and loved. I can’t wait to come back for every other get away we have.”
“Penny had the best time with Vicki and her family. She felt at home so quickly. I really appreciate Vicki’s caring nature, transparency, and flexibility. Penny loved her stay. She’s the best!”
“Sharai was amazing with my dog! She was patient, caring, and even helped him learn how to confidently use the stairs while in her care. The progress was incredible, and I truly appreciated the updates and attention she gave throughout the stay. I highly recommend Sharai and would happily book with her again!”
“Melissa and Brian were amazing with our Mango! We could see the bond they developed when we picked our puppy up and how happy Mango looked while in their care. Mango was with them for almost 10 days during which time, he was well taken care of and they were very attentive! Thanks for everything!”
“We had an amazing experience with Ginny taking care of our puppy, Muffin, for 3 days. Muffin absolutely loved her stay and especially enjoyed playing with the toys Ginny provided. Ginny was very attentive and caring, and we truly appreciated the constant updates and photos that kept us reassured about how Muffin was doing. It was clear Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. We would 100% trust Ginny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving and reliable care for their pet.”

“Lauren has been very accommodating with our needs. We left Teddy our medium size cockapoo 3 years old for 6 nights with her. She took very good care of him and he came back very happy. Thanks Lauren😊”
“Joanne was fantastic with our dog, Penny! She kept us updated with photos and stories throughout Penny’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Joanne is caring, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. Her family was wonderful, and Penny enjoyed lots of walks, attention, and affection while staying in their home. We’re so glad we found Joanne and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve worked in a busy dog boarding facility where I managed multiple dogs on my own walking, feeding, driving them to appointments, and making sure every tail was wagging. I’ve also worked for a dog walking company for several years, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Beyond dogs, I’ve spent time working in a pet shop and animal rescue, giving me experience with cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and more. I’ve trained dogs from puppies to seniors, handled reactive pups with patience and care, and provided overnight and in-home pet sitting where pets stay comfortable in their own space. Whether I’m walking, training, or cuddling your pet, I treat them like family with love, structure, and attention to detail. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. From energetic walks to calm cuddle sessions, your pets will be in caring, capable hands every step of the way. Right now, I’m working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m very passionate about animal care and actually plan to start my own pet business in the future, so this is something I take seriously and truly enjoy doing. My schedule allows me to give each pet the attention, consistency, and care they deserve this isn’t just a side job for me, it’s something I genuinely love. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they’re in a calm, secure, and loving environment. I carefully follow your pet’s routine — from feeding and walks to medications and bedtime rituals — to keep them happy and stress-free. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments and always use positive reinforcement and patience. In my home, pets are never left unattended, have access to safe indoor and outdoor spaces, and get plenty of love, play, and supervision. You can trust that your furry family member will be cared for like my own. ❤️

“It was love at first sight for our Akita, Moka, when she met Marilyn. Although generally friendly, Moka is typically aloof with new people. However it was like she’d known Marilyn for years when they met, and she clearly enjoyed their nature walks while we were away. Even though we are back, I’m thinking I’ll need to at least do a weekly walk, so that Moka can see her new best friend!”

“Natasha is an amazing fur kid sitter. She takes amazing care of Daisy & Delilah and we have no worries when she’s with them. She is responsive to messages and sends updates as often as we request. Natasha was also able to help out last minute due to a family emergency which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Melissa took great care of Leo during his first dog sitting experience. I really appreciate the quick responses & updates from her on Leo and felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommended!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”
“Kripa is amazing. I got such timely updates, she made sure that my dog was well taken care of. I did not feel worried or stressed at all. And the care for my dog was so good, maybe too good, because my dog didn’t want to leave hahahaha. I highly recommend Kripa & I am looking forward to inquiring for her services again when my dog needs to be looked after.”
“We would highly recommend Natalie and Dan and their family. They loved and cared for our fur baby like he was their own. We got lots of updates throughout the week which we greatly appreciated. They put our mind at ease.”
“This has to be my favourite puppy sitting ever. Kyla was extremely professional and full of empathy. She treated my dog like her own family and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. The environment inside the home was what won me, my dog didn’t miss us at all as the fury, little and the big members of her family kept my dog so safe and happy. I don’t think I will ever book any other sitter again. Thank you so much Kyla, kids and fury family members for making June feel so happy and loved. I can’t wait to come back for every other get away we have.”

“Melissa and Brian were amazing with our Mango! We could see the bond they developed when we picked our puppy up and how happy Mango looked while in their care. Mango was with them for almost 10 days during which time, he was well taken care of and they were very attentive! Thanks for everything!”
“We had an amazing experience with Ginny taking care of our puppy, Muffin, for 3 days. Muffin absolutely loved her stay and especially enjoyed playing with the toys Ginny provided. Ginny was very attentive and caring, and we truly appreciated the constant updates and photos that kept us reassured about how Muffin was doing. It was clear Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. We would 100% trust Ginny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving and reliable care for their pet.”

“Joanne was fantastic with our dog, Penny! She kept us updated with photos and stories throughout Penny’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind.

We’re so glad we found Joanne and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our dog, Coco! 🐶 From the moment we dropped him off, she kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared and gave Coco so much love and attention. In fact, Coco had such a great time that he didn’t even want to come back home! We’re so grateful to have found someone so kind, attentive, and trustworthy. I would 100% recommend Heather to anyone looking for a loving and reliable caregiver for their pup. Thank you again, Heather! — Ruchin & Coco”

“Jasper had a wonderful stay—thank you so much, Margaret! She’s the best dog sitter you could ever ask for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for loving and reliable pet care.”
“I highly recommend Ernst for dog sitting. When I arrived, I could immediately see how kind and calming he was with his dogs and mine. My biggest concern was my dog's safety in someone else's care, but Ernst explained his procedures for keeping all the dogs safe, which gave me great peace of mind. He also kept me updated with messages and pictures of my dog enjoying exercise and relaxing at home. Ernst is soft-spoken and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more enjoyable for both my dog and myself. I will definitely reach out to him again when I need boarding in the future. My dog truly enjoyed the stay with Ernst.”

“Yogita and Dibaker were great and our Bo was a happy boy. It was the first time we were leaving our fur baby with someone other than family, so we were extra appreciative of the picture updates we got. We would definitely use their service again.”
“I have a 3m old puppy and was a little nervous to leave him for a long time. Kazi is great and sent me updates often. My puppy had a great time and was tired from a whole day of fun! She’s also great at taking photos 😌”
