“Elizaveta was excellent with our dog and eased so many of our worries. We were able to go out for the evening and be completely relaxed knowing that she was being well cared for. Elizaveta even went out of her way to give detailed updates throughout the evening along with adorable pictures regarding how our dog was and what she was up. She even went out of her way to make sure that our dogs needs were met in detail. She was even able to get her little boots on during the cold weather (which can also be challenging for us at times also) so that she could go on a little adventure through the snow. I definitely would recommend Elizaveta to anyone looking for a good sitter to take care of their fur baby and we will be using her services again in the future.”
“Paula was ABSOLUTELY wonderful!!! Her home was super inviting, comfy, very accommodating!! he had a full belly leaving her house so she is very attentive, my doggo was so spoiled by her, he was crying to go back when I picked him up lol🤣 Paula!! Thank you so much for watching Buddy🖤”
“Stryker had a blast with Adrienne! She took him out on many walks and adventures and provided me with a daily update including pictures and videos of his outings. Adrienne is amazing! I would definitely use her again and will be recommending her services to others!”
“Sylvain was very organized and thorough when it came to collecting information about my dog, Dennis, to prepare for his stay. Sylvain is excellent with his own dogs, Yogi and Choco, which left me with confidence to leave Dennis with Sylvain. He provided regular updates and my dog Dennis got lots of walks while he was with Sylvain. Dennis was one tired dog when it was time for him to come home! :-) Thank you Sylvain! Would recommend his services.”
“Our dogs had so much fun and loved their stay! I loved getting updates throughout their stay. Being away from them was substantially less stressful nothing that Bkue and Cocoa were happy and well taken care of.”
“Jodi watched my 2 year old lab for 2 days and 1 night. She was wonderful, and even arranged for a meet and greet the week before his stay so that we could get to know her. She was so reassuring, you can tell that she knows what it’s like to leave behind your cherished pet. She took detailed notes when asking about my dog and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away. Would recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Jodi!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds and ages for 8 years. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, train, give medication, and love their pets. I just finished my Social Work degree. I’m currently working part-time as a server, and work a casual job. My schedule is usually pretty open, and I can work with your availability and be flexible as well! I will make sure your dog is on a leash/in a fenced in yard to ensure safety. I can bring your dog to the beach or a park if good off-leash and with other dogs. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Anjali was awesome, made us feel super welcome and kept me updated hourly with photos and videos. Walked our pup and socialized her with her cat and other dogs on the walk. Our pup loves going to Anjali and gets very excited as we go towards their front door, I would definitely recommend Anjali!”
“Amanda was a fantastic care giver to my high energy beagle Chloe! I so appreciated her daily pics and updates on how Chloe was doing during her first stay away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Chloe with her in the future. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy caregiver”
“Yuleizi took excellent care of my little one! Animosh can sometimes struggle with change and new people but seemed absolutely comfortable with Yuleizi and her home. I had great communication and got many pictures of my kitty. I would absolutely ask Yuleizi to watch my Ani again!”

“Zola was such a pleasure to work with. She is very professional and very conscientious of providing the detailed updates a pet owner wants to hear. My cat has a quirky personality, sometimes hot sometimes cold, and she seemed to be very skilled and comfortable at letting him adapt and eventually accept his new friend :). I highly recommend Zola as a sitter for your pet.”
“Jodi was phenomenal. We even had the pleasure of an initial visit for her to meet our two cats where she took detailed notes of our expectations. This made us feel especially safe and sure that Jodi's attention to detail would set our minds at ease as we went on vacation. She was punctual and provided detailed notes about our cats and adorably cute photos for us! She dealt with our escape artist of a cat, Tigger, really well. Tigger generally takes awhile to warm up to strangers and she had BOTH our cats loving her by the end of our time with us. We will be booking Jodi again in the future.”
About: am a true animal lover from the bottom of my heart. I would meet so many people in the neighbourhood because I would always ask to pet and visit their animals. Starting when I was about 12, I would ride my bike to people’s homes to feed, empty litter boxes and of course show so much love to their pets; even with a slight allergy I couldn’t resist! As I became a teenager, I was commonly asked to stay at the homes belonging to my parents friends and my own coworkers because they knew I was trustworthy, so loving and would care deeply for their animals. I am a pet parent myself and know the importance of being able to trust those coming into your home and care for your beloved animals. I can absolutely guarantee I will show your pets so much love, and respect your home so you are able to have absolute peace of mind while you are away. I also have no issue caring for senior dogs or puppies, I am patient and wholeheartedly only want them to know love.
“Madison took great care of our 2 cats while we were away! She's reliable, punctual, and a great communicator, and having her dropping in on our cats put our minds at ease. One of our cats is typically very timid, but the first time she met Madison she went to her right away for pets! I would recommend Madison to anyone and we would definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for my entire life, whether that’s with my own pups or volunteering at my local animal shelter. I moved away from home, so any chance I get to spend time with dogs brings me such joy! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from puppies to 15 years old. I’m a responsible young adult who will treat your pet and home with care and respect. I work 9-5 monday to friday in a very flexible job. I enjoy evening walks with doggos & spending my weekends with them! I’m open to morning/evening walks as well as house sitting when needed. I believe in treating peoples homes and pets exactly how I would want mine to be treated. I’m attentive to your specific instructions with your animals and home. I take great pride in my respectful and kind nature, which allows me to form strong relationships with clients.
“I booked last minute, and they were so kind and accommodating! I came into town late, but they were super understanding about it. They kept me updated about my cats even though I’m not much of a texter, and it really gave me peace of mind. Super sweet, responsive, and clearly cared about my pets, I would absolutely book again!”
About: I've been a dog owner of Labradors for the past 30 years, until recently. A few months ago I said goodbye to my boy Fletcher, and life is just not the same without a dog. I am a fairly active 52 year old who lives alone, and quietly, with a fenced yard and Vickers Park nearby. I go to my family's camp in the summer, and would like to be able to take your dog with me for a good swim and hike! My house has always been a dog house. I do love to travel, so I know what it's like to have someone care for your dogs while away, and the worries and trust that go with such a responsibility. Someday I will get another dog, but until then, I would love to welcome yours into a safe, calm, environment, with lots of love, fun and outside time. I am currently free and flexible to adapt to your dog's schedule. I am the only one in the house so I am able to be present for your dog and hang out with him or her as much as they'll let me! I have a fully fenced yard and a dog friendly 2 bedroom bungalow. One room is a spare so can be used to put crates or beds if dogs are nervous or want alone time. I will never kick a dog off my bed if they are willing to keep me company!
About: I’ve always had a passion for all pets and I love cats, I’ve had 2 pet cats and watched many neighbours and friends cats before. I love to play with them or simply be there for them to relax, I am able to clean a litter box.
About: I’m an animal lover who has spent years caring for pets! Over the years, I have gained experience through house, dog, and cat sitting for my family and friends. These experiences have made me more comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and various care needs. I love getting outside and going for long walks which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I am just as suited for calmer pets who prefer quiet company! I treat each pet with genuine care to make sure they feel safe and loved while they are away from their owners. I am currently a Master’s student with a super flexible schedule! Since my coursework and research hours aren’t fixed, I am able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, or pet-setting. I spend most of my time working from home which gives me the freedom to check in on pets, take them for long walks, or stay overnight whenever needed. To foster a safe, trusted environment, I focus on keeping routines as familiar as possible for your pets. I follow owner’s instructions clearly (e .g., feeding schedules, walk times, medications) and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—the kind where you smile just seeing one walk by. Over the years, I’ve cared for both spirited puppies and mellow senior dogs, and I’ve loved every stage in between. My parents brought home a beagle three years ago, and from teething to training, I’ve been part of his puppy journey ever since. More recently, I’ve helped care for my boss’s 11-year-old dog, Iggy, which gave me insight into the gentler pace and extra care older pups sometimes need. What makes me different? I approach every dog with curiosity—no two are the same, and I love figuring out what makes each tail wag. I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy long walks, cuddle breaks, and the little routines that make dogs feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I adapt with heart and care. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility during the day to focus on pet care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so whether it’s weekday walks, playtime breaks, or weekend visits, I’m available and ready. My weekends are completely free, so longer stays or extra attention when you’re away is no problem at all. I care for pets where they’re happiest—right at home. Whether it’s walks, visits, or overnight stays, I keep things calm, familiar, and full of love. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, respect your space, and give your furry friend the attention they deserve. Safe, stress-free, and always reliable.
“Felipe was such a huge help with watching our two cats! He sent lots of photos and they clearly loved him. He was also able to be flexible when our plans changed because of the wildfires.”

“I am so grateful Christine was able to help me out so quickly. I contacted her Sunday for walking services for my 2 dogs and she was available Wednesday and Thursday at the time I needed and it saved me! I didn't expect to see a map of where the walk was, how many minutes/kilometres or how many potty breaks and what they did but it gives me so much peace of mind! The photos of the dogs are also an appreciated bonus. I am happy with her services and my dogs are too!”
“Zola is great! She’s really good with our two husky X dogs. She’s professional, friendly, and knowledgable. I love that we got a write up on how everything went, right down to distance and bathroom breaks. She even sent us pictures of them on their outing. Our boys came back very happy campers.”
About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been part of my heart and my home. I've shared my life with pets throughout my adult life, and each one has been a cherished member of my family. I understand the trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else's care because I would want the very same kindness, attention, and respect for my own pets. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, a senior dog, an independent cat, or another cherished pet, I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as an individual. I take the time to learn their routines, respect their unique personalities and boundaries, and provide the loving, attentive care they deserve. With more than 25 years of experience building trusting relationships with children and families, I bring patience, reliability, compassion, and thoughtful communication to every visit. I'll follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to the little details, and send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the way I care for my own—with love, kindness, respect, and the understanding that they are treasured members of your family. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and have intentionally made room for in my life. During the summer months, I have flexible availability and can offer daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday pet care. Throughout the school year, I work full-time as an educator, so I focus on providing pet care during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. House sitting is also a service I enjoy, as it allows me to provide consistent, loving care while fitting naturally into my routine. Because pet care is a part-time passion, I intentionally accept a limited number of bookings. This allows me to give each pet the individual attention, kindness, and thoughtful care they deserve rather than rushing from one visit to the next. My goal is always to provide dependable, personalized care that gives both pets and their people complete peace of mind. I provide all of my pet care services in your pet's familiar home environment, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I know that keeping routines consistent helps reduce stress, so I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), litter box or yard care, and any other routines that are important to your pet. Every visit is tailored to your pet's individual personality and needs. Some pets enjoy play and interaction, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence. I respect each pet's boundaries, move at their pace, and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. For dog walks, I tailor each walk to your dog's energy level and preferences, allowing plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy their time outdoors safely. For cats and other pets, I provide attentive care, companionship (when welcomed), fresh food and water, litter box or habitat maintenance, and plenty of observation to ensure they are happy and well. After each visit, I'll send you photos and an update so you can relax knowing your beloved pet is receiving thoughtful, dependable care while you're away.

I'm currently working during the week and will be available mostly weekends to care for your babies. I am free in the evenings to visit your babies. In the summer i will have more flexability I cannot take any animals in my home, but I am happy to come to yours. I am happy to take care of your dog or kitty and treat them like royalty while caring for them

“Jenna-Lynn did a great job making sure Rudy got exercise while being home during a long working day even on late booking notice. She arrived on time, made sure Rudy felt comfortable and was very responsive. I had no problem trusting her and would definitely recommend her for dog walking.”
“She was amazing! She replied quickly, helped me out last minute, and kept me updated with photos on their walk. Great communication, and both of my dogs were very well cared for!”

About: Hello. My name is Amanda 🫶 I am 38 years old 😬 I consider myself a pet magnet. People call me the animal whisperer. Never mind, the time I got ducks talking to me 🤭 I’ve even had an emu follow me around and take selfies with me 😅 I’ve been working as a groomer and pet care taker for 18 years now. 18 years in grooming and 30 years caring for pets 🐾 I have met some wonderful people and pets along the way. My main option on here is pet sitting but I also do walking. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for two years, and have many certifications including Animal Sciences 👩🎓 I work at my own home based grooming salon and doggy day care 💈✂️🧼 I often care for pets belonging to family and friends.

Replenishing food and water. Tidy ups.
“Tess is amazing with my dog! She is very friendly and took care of her very well. She sent me photos so that I was updated and could see how much fun they were having. Tess was on time for walks and also took very good care of her when I was out of town for a weekend. I would recommend Tess 100%! I will continue to trust her with my dog!”
