“Kimberly, thank you so much to you and your family for taking such excellent care of Hunter this past weekend while we were away in Edmonton. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We were so glad to hear how well Hunter got along with Murphy and that he had a buddy to hang out with. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos — they meant a lot and reassured us he was happy and well cared for. Thank you again for your kindness and care. Until next time!”
“Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!”
“We are so grateful to Cindy and Jay for taking such great care of our dog Charlie while we were away! They went above and beyond by sending us regular updates and adorable pictures that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that Charlie was relaxed, happy, and in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitting experience. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and caring pet sitters!”
“Moxie had a great time with Claudia and her family! Claudia is very welcoming and attentive. She sent pictures with updates of Moxie during her stay. We got a cute magnetic picture of Moxie and a thank you card when we came to pick her up! Too cute! Moxie can’t wait for her next visit! :)”
“This past weekend our family used Rover for the first time and Adam kindly and quickly responded to my booking request as well as any questions I had. He kept contact throughout Nova's stay and sent us pictures along the way. It was FANTASTIC to be able to go away and have her stay in a safe, warm and caring environment. We would highly recommend and hope to book with Adam again in the future.”
“Our dog Nova spent the day with Eva and her family. Eva sent some really nice pictures throughout the day, and took really great care of Nova. Nova was definitely tuckered out at the end of the day! Thank you so much for making our very first Rover experience such a great experience!”
“Cindy & Marc are great hosts. We had a change of plan at the last minute and they were very accomodative. Oreo really enjoyed their company. We would definitely take their services in the future too.”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Jayson was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again!”
“I appreciated the care that my cat Gordon received while he was staying here. I received frequent photos and videos to show what Gordie was up to. When I arrived to pick him up, his belongings were already packed and ready to put into the car. He also appeared to have just woken up from a nap so he must have been pretty relaxed and happy to be there.”
“Zoey had an awesome 2 nights! Constant updates and pictures go a long way. Zoey was so tuckered out from all the attention and play time she was given. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Carey was amazing with my dog Blue. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She provided me with photo updates of my dog throughout his stay and he looked happy as ever. 5 stars!”

“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“Leaving my dog overnight was a new experience. Judy was patient with me and answered all my questions. She made me feel at ease and confident that my he would be in good hands. She sent me regular updates including photos. She was very attentive whenever I would message to check on him. My dog was happy and in good health when I picked him up. I will definitely be using her service again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone that's looking for a great sitter.”
“Charlie had his first stay with Donna last weekend. He had a fantastic time playing with Lucy, Donna’s dog. I got updates on how he’s doing as I asked for them and I could tell that Donna sincerely cared about him and wanted him to feel at home. He adored her daughter too and was her constant companion. Charlie will definitely be back!”

“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”

“Katherine was a wonderful cat sitter!

She was super communicative, and we felt so comforted knowing she was taking care of them. Would highly recommend her!”

About: My wife and I have been fostering dogs and cats from the Humane Society and other rescues for 6 years, in addition to being pet owners ourselves. We have specifically taken on animals with health complications in need of special care, e.g. medication, physiotherapy, pregnancy, etc. As a bonus, my wife is a dog groomer with a salon attached to our home, so if your pet needs some sprucing up, we can help with that, too! Both my wife and I work from home and I am currently on leave from work, so I have lots of extra time to devote to your pet 🙂 We have a large, fenced yard that provides ample space for play. We currently own three cats (Mouse, Graham, and Rudy), and a budgie (Fergus). The cats are used to foster pets (about 60 cats and dogs over the past 6 years) coming in and out on a regular basis and the bird is up nice and high.
About: Driven by a genuine love for animals, my personalized approach is focused on ensuring that each pet feels secure and nurtured in my care. From caring for my own senior pets to my extensive fostering experience, I understand the unique needs and gentle touch required for our beloved furry friends. I work remotely, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to structure my days around responding to your pets' specific walking, feeding, and interaction needs. Your pets' safety and well-being are my top priorities. I meticulously adhere to clients' guidelines and routines to maintain a familiar and comfortable atmosphere for your pets. My open approach to communication builds trust and ensures that all specific needs and concerns are addressed.
About: I have hands on experience training my two dogs Cora and Cooper both in obedience and in agility. This has allowed me to understand the importance of positive reinforcement and how to cater to individual dogs needs. In addition, I have professional dog sitting experience in a neighbors home, where I cared for and took them out for walks. This role has taught me how to approach and work with rescue dogs and adapt my care to different temperaments. I am attentive, patient and committed to providing excellent care and a safe environment for all pets. I currently work part time which allows flexibility to provide pet care in the evenings and on the weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week and weekend as well if needed. I am committed to ensuring that your pets receive reliable care, attention and companionship while you are away. I ensure that my dogs are fed and taken care of. I also love to take them out for walks and on car rides! As a dog owner I understand the importance of safety, maintaining routines, regular exercise and lots of attention. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their individual needs, personalities, and routines. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive environment where both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.
“Breeah room excellent care of our two cats while we were away! She was very considerate of their own personalities, and always kept us updated on how they were doing. She communicated any schedule changes well in advance which was great! Would definitely recommend Breeah to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of and had cats since I was 8 years old. My friends, family, and neighbours have called on me to care for, check-in, play with, and feed their furry friends! I love all cats but black cats might be my all time favourite!
About: I have a 9 year old shorkie and live with my sisters 5 year old aussie doodle as well. I love to shower dogs with love and affection and give them lots of walks. I have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember for family friends, and have experience with a wide variety of temperaments. I am very patient and caring to all animals. I’m working from home and for myself, so I have a flexible schedule to look after your pet, and a car to get to them. I take my own dogs for two 30 minute walks every morning and evening. I clean their bowls daily and make sure they always have water. I also love doing a puzzle with them every day to keep their minds active.

“Cindy took great care of my fur buddy Zeus . She had him all day, and sent several updates & pics throughout the day. Prior to that we met up for a meet and greet, where she answered all my questions. When I picked Zeus up he was obviously happy with his experience. Highly recommend Cindy.”
“Kimberley was quick to reply upon our last-minute request for day care for Summit. She provided numerous lovely photos and Summit enjoyed having another dog there to interact with. We would highly recommend Kimberley as a dog sitter. Thank you!”

“My dog Rupert absolutely loved his stay with Cindy and Marc. You can tell that they’re passionate about animals and take very good care of their client pups. Their yard is an excellent space for your dog to run around and have fun. They made sure to send updates and photos throughout the day to ensure that I knew that my dog was in good hands. Thank you so much for keeping my pup safe and happy!”
“It is always difficult to find someone to trust with the care of your precious cargo but as soon as we met Claudia on our meet and greet, I knew she would take wonderful care of my Stella. Our first day at doggy daycare was a success from the welcoming drop off, to the texts and photos throughout the day, to the happy pick up time, I was thrilled that Stella had a good day and that I had found a reliable pet sitter in the area. I highly recommend Claudia and her services to care for your fur babies.”
“I am so lucky that I found Jayson. Our dog is usually shy at first, but she clicked with Jayson. He is kind, caring and I feel so relieved when she is with him for doggy daycare. Jayson responds very quickly and communicates very clearly. His dog, Arnold has made our girl feel comfortable, which is amazing, as she can be apprehensive at times. Jayson will provide lots of photos during the day and keeps me updated on her walks (or hangouts in the backyard when it is too hot). His photos are always accompanied by a text, telling me how she is doing, how her walk was, when she had dinner, etc. I love that Jayson always gives off a calm and happy demeanor, because it not only makes our dog comfortable, but I do not worry at all about her while she is there. If you are looking for someone who provides a fun and calm space, a very chill doggy companion, and lots of care, I 100% recommend Jayson as your pet sitter/walker.”
About: Hi! I’m Karen, and caring for animals has been my lifelong passion and career. I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I spent 10 years owning and operating a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I cared for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with special needs. I’m also an experienced positive reinforcement dog trainer, having taught puppy classes, basic obedience, and agility. Before opening my facility, I worked as a dog walker throughout university, and I was raised by two veterinarians—so I’ve truly grown up with this work. I understand canine body language, behavior, and how to create a safe, structured, and happy environment for all pets in my home. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I have a large, secure fenced in yard, plenty of space to play, and quiet areas for rest. If you’re traveling with a mixed pet family, I also have safe, separate areas for cats, thanks to my years of running a combined dog-and-cat boarding program. I’m experienced with: • Puppies (training, socialization, house manners) • Senior dogs (gentle routines, mobility support) • Dogs with medical or behavioral needs • Administering medications, including special diets and schedules, including insulin injections if needed My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re part of the family while giving you total peace of mind. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing the same level of care I’d want for my own animals. I work full time from home, so I am always around. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 I work from home, I am home all the time. Happy to help with doggy daycare if you need your dog to come and play in a large fenced in area. I have many opportunities throughout the day to allow for free play outside, and lots of dog beds (couches if they're allowed!) throughout the house. I am available for overnight boarding on weekdays and weekends, including holidays. I have a large 1/4 acre fully fenced yard and my own two small dogs, both around 10 pounds, both female (spayed). There is a doggy door to the yard for full and free access to the fenced yard if your dog is able to use the doggy door, if not I have a sliding patio door and man door to let them in and out. My dogs are allowed on the couch and bed, yours will be too, unless you prefer they aren't allowed for manners training! My home is puppy proofed (my one dog is a 6 month old puppy), so everything is out of reach and puppy safe. I have 2 sphynx cats as well that love dogs, and the cat litter is behind gates and out of reach for dogs. I have two children, ages 10 and 12. They have grown up with many dogs and cats, we had a busy dog boarding kennel for their entire childhood until we sold it a few years ago.
“Ed and his family were fabulous. Cooper made himself at home immediately upon getting there. My husband said it was so nice when the entire family came to the door to say goodbye. It was great knowing Cooper was in such good hands.”
“Deborah-Lynn was exactly who we needed to support our three year old Burmese mountain dog mix Frannie. Frannie is cautious around new people and she immediately warmed to Deborah-Lynn and Wheatley. Frannie attended both daycare and boarding and had a great time. We highly recommend her!”
“My boy spent a very playful day at Saksham's place. Seems he loved his company too, I'm looking forward to book more days like this for him. Saksham also updated me his status timely. Thanks Saksham and see you soon:)”
“Wenge was great with my dog Nutmeg. She was very quick to respond to my questions and gave me several updates about how his day was going. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Emma was amazing! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away. Very kind, responsible, and clearly love animals. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!”
About: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.
“Ruomai always takes wonderful care of our Millie! Super attentive, and provides some videos and pictures throughout the day so we know she is doing well. Always gets her to eat when she is kept through meal times, and makes sure she has a comfortable social experience as well. Millie is always just as excited to come here as she is to come home! Would always recommend.”

“Megaen is clearly a huge dog lover! She was easy to communicate with, came to meet my dog the day before, and very punctual. She’s walked my dog twice, both times taking him for a good length and reporting back afterwards. I was able to book her the day before I needed her & would definitely book her again!”
“Katherine was a great help to us while we were away. She came to walk both of our dogs accommodating the individual needs of each dog with walks, cuddles and playtime. We are happy to have a reliable person to call on when we need assistance in the future.”
“Kayla met and walked our Wheaten Terrier for the first time yesterday. She was prompt and very kind with both pup and dog mom. She immediately crouched down to meet our pup at eye-level, which was a good sign. She has dogs of her own and showed comfort and confidence in dealing with both of us. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: Grew up surrounded by pets, caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Passionate about walks, playtime, cuddles, and providing loving, reliable care every time I work in child care, so my availability is flexible. I’m free most weekdays, evenings, and weekends to give your pets the attention they deserve. I have two cats and a large, secure backyard. After recently losing my beloved dog Abbey, I provide a safe, loving, and nurturing space for pets. In February 2026 I welcomed my new baby golden doodle Lucy to my family🩷
“Adam is very caring and kind. He has been a daily walker for us for a month now and takes our dog’s needs into account during challenging conditions, like weather, making sure she stays well. Adam communicates quickly if something arises and is very adaptable to time changes if he is able to accommodate. We completely trust him with our girl and she now looks very forward to seeing her new friend as well. I highly recommend Adam. He has been a godsend to us.”
About: Throughout my entire life, my family has always owned a pet from dogs to cats to even hamsters! So it was only natural that when I got a place of my own, I immediately wanted to own a dog to make the house feel more like home. I have owned two labs in my adult life so far, and the unconditional love that they give you is unlike anything else. After my first dog had passed three years ago, I became obsessed with watching dog training videos from various trainers. I made it my mission to train my new pup to the best of my ability and to give him the best quality of life. When he was young, at times the training seemed hopeless, but in the end, all of the hard work and persistence has paid off. He is such a good dog & walking is so much more enjoyable. Moral of the story is I am a patient, persistent, gentle and kind person. I understand that physical activity is so important to your dogs, physical and mental quality of life. Different interactions & scenery will help stimulate your dog and wear them out. My love for animals & furry companions runs even deeper as I am also an Artist that specializes in Pet Portraits. Honouring those loved ones, through a custom piece of art, that someone can cherish for years fills my soul! I am currently working part-time as a Pilates Instructor and looking to fill in my time with walking dogs in between my fitness classes during the week. I am able to come and pick up your pet and walk them around your neighbourhood or drive them to a new destination to give them mental stimulation in different environmental situations depending on your dogs needs and comfortability. The walk will be tailored to them.
About: I have had a dog my entire life. From my first dogs being black labs, to a small pug, to adopting a German Shepard lab. I love all dogs.. Big or small, messy or clean, I will take care of your dog and it’s needs. I’ve learned how to train dogs and learned tricks to understanding dogs better when needed. I currently live in St. Mays. I don’t go to school as I have graduated and finished University&College. Your dog will always have company & toys to play with at all hours of the day. I’m currently working full time with the OPP. Always 12 hour shifts, days and nights on a set schedule for the year. No matter what time it is when I have to leave for work or come home from work I will always walk the dogs. Taking them for long walks helps not only the dog but also me. Always having an eye on them and making sure they’re in a safe spot in the house. If there is a spot in the house that isn’t safe for them, I will use a barrier or something to make sure they don’t go to that area of the house. Such as stairs for little puppies, I will make sure to watch them if they’re trying to go up or down or block it off so they don’t have to use them. I make sure they have water 24/7 and have food when they are supposed to be fed. Lots of cuddles of course and making sure they have all the attention they need. Fresh water in the morning, make sure they get fed at the same time as they would at home with their owners. Making sure the pet feels comfortable and safe wherever they are in the house. I will make sure your pet always has water 24/7, they will always be surrounded by cuddles and is allowed anywhere in the house. They are allowed on anything and everything that is in the house.

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.
“Stacey is very attentive and great with our puppy! She’s so kind and updates us on how the walk went. We feel very comfortable having her come and walk our pup and can tell our puppy enjoys seeing her as well.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of companionship. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will feel comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I’d give my own.
About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and currently have pets of my own, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after pets for family and friends, including walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. As a recent Psychology graduate who works part-time as a suicide crisis responder, I bring a calm, compassionate, and responsible approach to every interaction. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to accommodate regular or occasional bookings whenever possible and thrive on punctuality, communicative and being dependable.always aim to be punctual, communicative, and dependable. As I work from home and always surrounded by my own animals, I want to extend my love and attention to yours, whenever and wherever. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take instructions serious and follow carefully and to exact detail, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I’m attentive on walks, keep dogs securely leashed unless otherwise instructed, and treat every home with respect. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind!
About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I grew up with my Miniature Schnauzer, who was part of my family for 18 years, and that experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of giving pets love and attention. Today, I have my own cat and have also helped care for my partner’s cat for several years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I provide. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and exercise, while also making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, providing companionship, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting each owner’s instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, playful, shy, or simply needs some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own pets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I am excited to dedicate more time to providing reliable, high-quality care for pets and their families. My schedule allows me to be flexible and plan my time around pet visits, walks, feeding routines, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, keep their environment clean, and provide updates so owners can feel confident while they are away. For walks and visits, I focus on safety by paying attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and energy needs. I make sure they receive proper exercise, supervision, and positive interaction. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure. I always respect each pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive the same care and attention I would want for my own.

“Kimberly, thank you so much to you and your family for taking such excellent care of Hunter this past weekend while we were away in Edmonton. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We were so glad to hear how well Hunter got along with Murphy and that he had a buddy to hang out with. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos — they meant a lot and reassured us he was happy and well cared for. Thank you again for your kindness and care. Until next time!”
“Moxie had a great time with Claudia and her family! Claudia is very welcoming and attentive. She sent pictures with updates of Moxie during her stay. We got a cute magnetic picture of Moxie and a thank you card when we came to pick her up! Too cute! Moxie can’t wait for her next visit! :)”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Carey was amazing with my dog Blue. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She provided me with photo updates of my dog throughout his stay and he looked happy as ever. 5 stars!”
“Saksham and his partner were very easy to work with. They took good care of Rocky and sent photos throughout the day which kept us at ease. Will surely use their services in the future.”
“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“Leo had an excellent stay with Jasmeet. She was very thorough asking questions to ensure she was aware of any special concerns or needs. Leo is a 11 year old Coton du Tulear with a few minor special needs all of which were accommodated. Jasmeet sent me pictures during his overnight stay. She quickly discovered Leo’s discomfort with thunder storms and gave him comfort and took him to the basement where the storm was not so loud. He got along well with her very friendly golden retriever. I highly recommend Jasmeet. It is nice to be able to go away overnight (or for the day) knowing that he is safe and being cared for.”
“We've never used Rover before, but Madison and Jeffrey have been extremely patient with us and our boy, who is 8 years old and shy with strangers. They send us pics and updates regularly, which is helpful when I worry a lot. They're open to working with our dog's schedule, taking him for walks and letting him have his(overly large) crate to chill out in if he prefers to be there. If you're hesitant about using Rover, reach out to Madison and Jeffrey because they go above and beyond!”
“Leaving my dog overnight was a new experience. Judy was patient with me and answered all my questions. She made me feel at ease and confident that my he would be in good hands. She sent me regular updates including photos. She was very attentive whenever I would message to check on him. My dog was happy and in good health when I picked him up. I will definitely be using her service again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone that's looking for a great sitter.”
“She had experienced to take care of pets. My pet was not easy to care for but she totally could make him happy and get along with others quickly. We were happy to send my pet to her.”
“We are so grateful for Natalie’s sitting services. Our pup comes home exhausted and happy after spending time with Natalie and her two Bernedoodles in her spacious home and yard. Thank you for taking such good care of Hugo!”
“Our dog went to stay with Deborah-Lynn while my husband was recovering from surgery. She frequently checked in and gave us updates about how he was doing and what he was doing. Our dude seemed happy, engaged and well taken care of. She provided lots of mental and physical stimulation for the dogs. We look forward to his next visit!”
“We were worried leaving Dexter with a sitter as he is generally very oriented and has anxiety issues. Lynn put us at ease the first day we were away with pictures that showed Dexter was happy and well taken care of. He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”
“Pranit is so good with Maverick. He comes home relaxed and well-mannered, which tells me that Pranit really worked with him to continue our puppy training while we were gone. We get great updates and feel totally confident that Maverick is having a blast with Pranit!”
“Bee and Link are two peas in a pod 🫛 I know Bee always has a good time at Priyanka's playing with Link and power napping to recharge for the next time. She's in good hands and we get photos and videos to see she's having a blast”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”

About: I have a innate love of animals. Large or small, confident or timid, young or old, they all have a place in my heart. I am patient, adaptable and calm even when others may not be. My critical thinking skills help me to troubleshoot any situation your pet might challenge me with. I always look for a win-win outcome. Your pets walk and play time every day is an important part of their lives, and I look forward to spending my time with them. Georgia is an American Staffy that we rescued last year, at approximately 1 years old. Since then we have focused on all levels of training, including agility, to help deal with her reactivity. We have made tremendous progress over the last year with her. I am available between 7 and 6 Monday to Saturday. Sundays and holidays can also be accommodated. My flexible schedule means that I can provide care on your schedule. I know that timing and routine are important to your pet and yourself, and I am punctual and dependable. I understand how important the safety of your furry friend is to you. Should your pet join us in our home, they will have the opportunity to enjoy our fully fenced back yard during play time. During walking times, there are many lovely trails and pathways in our quiet residential neighborhood that we can enjoy together.
