“Eva and her husband were fantastic! They had experience with the stubbornness of dachshunds and were so kind and understanding with my two grumpy senior wieners. Eva provided lots of updates and photos throughout their visit. Their house and neighbourhood are well set up for doggie guests. So grateful I was able to attend a work event in Toronto with peace of mind that my dogs were safe and well looked after.”
“Very accommodating to our requests and schedule, and our dog was calm after a day with them (she usually starts very anxious). They gave updates, photos and video throughout the day. Highly recommend them.”
“I could tell that Coco had a great time here! I got regular photo updates, and I could tell that he was quite relaxed and happy there. He'll definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“My dog Chapo has been a repeat guest of Meng. She is. Great I loved seeing how excited Chapo got when he saw Meg at drop off. I hope to continue to use Meng in the future thank you again.”
“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.”
“This was my first experience leaving the most important member of our family. I want to extend my gratitude to Jayson. He has been a very kind person with my dog, sending pictures, schedules, and updates on how my dog was doing. He took care of my dog, and I feel that he did it just like I would have. Jayson is a gentle person with dogs; he connects very well with them, and you can sense that you can trust him. Thank you, Jayson, for taking care of Alma.”
“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care our dog Charley received from Emma and Victoria. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure both Charley and we felt completely comfortable. We received daily updates along with so many wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every message that Charley was not only being well cared for, but truly loved. He was walked every day, given plenty of playtime, and showered with attention. One of our favorite parts was seeing that he made new friends and was having such a great time socializing. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation! We are beyond happy with the care he received and are so grateful to have found such kind and attentive caregivers. We will absolutely be using Emma and Victoria again to take care of Charley in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
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.
“Sabrina is a caring and responsive sitter. She listens carefully and her communication is thorough, timely and excellent. My dog loves her and always comes home happy. I recommend her most highly.”
“Deborah has been a life saver for us. She watches Marvin all the time (day care and overnight) and we NEVER worry about him there. She is so careful and loving with him, and always sends us updates and pictures throughout the day. Her two dogs are so sweet and easy going, they are like his family to him now. He always comes back home so tired and happy, truly could not recommend her more!!”
“Can’t Thank her enough for her gentle care and warmth with my buddy, Berny…!!! She took utmost care of him whilst I was away for urgent trip, timely notifications and updates, which were perfect to see him enjoying…. THANK YOU AGAIN…!!”
“We've boarded our dog with Cindy and Marc a few times now, and she absolutely loves it. They make her feel completely at home and pamper her so much that she arrives and leaves with her tail wagging every time. Their place is set up perfectly for dogs, and Cindy and Marc always go above and beyond to accommodate her needs and our schedule. The regular pictures and updates throughout her stay give us real peace of mind, knowing she's happy and well cared for while we're away. They're reliable, communicative, and genuinely love what they do. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Priyanka took great care of Moose while we were away for a week. She was very open to doing a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it was the right fit for everyone, which we really appreciated. She took the time to get to know Moose and understand his personality and energy level, which was especially helpful since he has quite a lot of energy! She kept him entertained with lots of games of fetch and made sure he felt right at home. She also sent us regular updates every day, along with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Moose came home happy, tired, and ready to crash! We’d be happy to have Priyanka look after Moose again and would definitely recommend her to other dog parents looking for someone caring and attentive.”
“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 !”
“This was my second time having Eden and Jacob look after my girl. I love the pictures Eden sends to me so I can see how happy Willow is. Eden is excellent at communicating with me. I will book Willow with them again.”

“Bruno is well taken cared of when we leave him with Yani. That’s why we always go to her when we need someone to look after him. She provides updates to is by sending pictures, videos and text messages. Thank you again, Yani!”

“Rosalie was absolutely phenomenal with my 2 cats, especially my kitten. She was wonderful in providing updates following each visit and clarifying anything she needed to best care for them!”
“Cortney was amazing with my cat, Archie! She was always on time, spent extra time playing with him, and made sure he got plenty of treats and attention. She sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with Cortney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“This is the second time we have used Jessica in the past two months. We are very happy with the service she provides. She sends lots of pictures and our babies look so happy playing with her. Definitely recommend! We will use Jessica again the next time we have to be away from our girls.”
“Melissa is an absolute asset to my busy travellers lifestyle. As someone who goes on 3-4 trips a year, I’m so happy that I found Melissa. She’s very personable, very flexible with times, and great with my fur babies. She regularly does drop in visits for my cats and recently has started boarding my dog for a few day trips that I’ve gone on. She goes above an beyond what any other pet sitter would do. She told me that my cat food was getting low and when I asked she even picked some up for me! I would highly recommend her and completely trust her with my little cuties. I’m so happy to have someone reliable to watch them. Thanks for everything girl”
“Olivia stopped by my place to feed my 2 cats while I was out of town. She exactly what I asked and gave me updates during her visit! Also sent me pictures :). I would use Olivia again for future check ins!”
“This is the first time I've ever had someone come into my house to look after my loved one so I was very nervous. But after meeting Justine and seeing how trusting my dog was, who normally isn't, I felt more at ease. She was very prompt to the agreed times and I absolutely loved seeing some pics of my dog during her visits. The score card details were very nice to get as well. Thank-you Justine! 😊”
About: NOTE: Times I am available are listed under "Availability" (left side of screen on computer + in the middle of this section on phone) I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience pet sitting for others, so I’m familiar with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and focus on building trust at their pace, while also being able to keep up with energetic puppies who need structure, play, and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, which helps me respond quickly to anything your pet might need. I’m also very mindful of routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just maintaining the environment your pet is used to. I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, understood, and genuinely cared for the entire time. ********************* **Schedule updated weekly** Available ANYTIME on: Thursday (27th), Saturday (29th), Monday (31st) Available anytime BEFORE 4:00PM on: Wednesday (26th), Friday (28th), Sunday (30th) NOT Available: Tuesday (25th) (As Rover is not showing the times I am available, I will update this section of my profile every week.) ********************* When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful of your pet’s comfort and behavior, and I always make sure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I also respect your home and keep everything clean and tidy while you’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
“Vacation time just got better knowing Lizzy is staying with our 2 older cats. Having her stay at the house is worth the piece of mind that they are well cared for while we are away. Lizzy clearly loves animals. She is extremely responsible, and sends regular, detailed updates and photos. We'll definitely be checking her availability before booking trips in the future! :)”
“Dave was amazing with Nala and she is a shy girl but took so well to Dave. She definitely loved him. His daily updates on Nala and the amazing pictures always put a smile on my face and I was assured she was in the best hands. I would recommend highly recommend Dave and if there were 10 stars would give him those. Thank you Dave appreciate it??”
“Shannon was wonderful! She did everything I asked, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Simon was happy and well cared for when I got home, which means everything to me. I would absolutely book Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you!”
“Another wonderful visit from Daniela after my cat had just had surgery. She was very careful and ensured he received his pain meds on time as I had to go out of town for a night shortly after. She’s absolutely wonderful, I’m so happy I came across her profile last summer. She’s my go to for my little senior fur babies whenever they need a check in, or any time my pup needs a walk! Thanks again Daniela for a wonderful experience - my fur babies adore you!”
“Sunny looked after our cat for a few days. She was punctual, got in touch with us right away when she had a question that we had not covered before leaving and sent lots of lovely pics of our cat. We would not hesitate to ask Sunny to pet sit 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.”
About: I got my cat since he’s 1 months old, now he’s a healthy cute cat who knows tricks and love human. I moved with him for couple of times, sit lots of cats and help him got through a big surgery that almost kill him. Like I said, I love cat and cat loves me.
About: I had a cat for many years, so I understand how important it is to provide cats with patience, attention, and a comfortable routine. In addition to caring for my own cat, I occasionally look after my friends' cats when they're away, making sure they're well-fed, entertained, and given plenty of affection. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and paying attention to their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's playtime, feeding, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping your cat company, I'll treat your feline friend with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Eva was great with our two cats! Great communication and updates with each visit. Really appreciated the photos. Would definitely recommend Eva to look after your fur babies!”
“Kira is dependable, visits when she says she will, and looks after our cat with lots of affection. We’ve had Kira look after our cat before and will do so again when we need someone.”
About: My daughter, who participates in companion care with me, adores cats (I do too but more of a dog person!). We’d love to drop in to see your companion and offer playtime or snuggles as well as basic care like feeding and litter box checks. (Photo is of a friend’s cat who is a chonky lovebug!)

“Thank you so much for looking after Tucker and Snow! We know Tucker’s been soaking up all the snuggles, and Snow’s been keeping you on your toes with his playful energy. It means the world to us knowing they’re in such loving hands. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Good job 👍”

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am an experienced dog owner who runs my own training, grooming and pet care business in New Hamburg called Canine Community Corner. We offer a wide variety of services, such as boarding, walking, drop in visits, bath and brush, and nail trim services. We also carry a wide variety of pet care products in our storefront, most of which are made by other local small businesses. In my home, I have 2 dogs and a cat. In the past I have also had a bearded dragon, a chameleon, hamster, rats, and mice, so I am experienced with a wide range of animals. During their stay with us, your pet will receive flexible 5 star care, depending on their needs and preferences. My dogs and I are avid hikers, and often spend our free time out on walks through the forest. If your dog prefers to stay home, we are also able to provide a calm and quiet environment for the duration of their stay. I also have a wide variety of actives they can do at my facility in the case of bad weather, including a treadmill, obstacle training, and scent work activities. My goal and belief as a pet professional is that services should be catered to each specific client, and not a one size fits all model. Because of the size of our living space and the nature of my job/business, I do require that any dogs coming to stay with us are crate trained and that their crate is brought with them. This not only allows for a smooth and stress-free stay, but provides your dog with a familiar safe space in a new environment. If your dog has any sort of separation anxiety, please let me know beforehand so I can plan accordingly. Feel free to message me with questions at any time! Because I am a small business owner, I have a very flexible schedule that can change depending on the needs of my clients - whether that’s in a drop-in, walk, or boarding service. Our canine clients often spend the day with my at my storefront, then come hone with me in the evenings to hang out until bedtime. Depending on the dog and the preferences of the owner, they may also participate in group classes as a demo dog to help show the exercises being taught. I am currently living in an apartment that opens outside to a large yard. Dogs are kept on a long line, unless otherwise specified by their owner that they are able to be reliably off leash. Even with owner permission, I typically avoid any off leash time that could potentially lead to the dog escaping or getting injured. I also have a very structured system in my home, where I introduce dogs through a parallel pack walk before letting them interact either indoors or outdoors. I also spend a significant amount of time working on calm and impulse control, and avoid letting pets in my home get overly excited.
“Eva and her family were great! Oakley stayed with them for the day while we were moving and he came back super tired from all of their walks. The updates throughout the day were really great.”
“Meng Chen was very nice and friendly. Communicated clearly with directions, pick up and drop off. She was very caring an provided updates and photos throughout the stay. I would highly recommend for your pups. Stitch had a great stay. 🌞”
“Isha and Carlos were great! They sent updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, giving us peace of mind that Tillie was comfortable and having a good time with their dogs. We would highly recommend their services. They were also flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Ashley was wonderful with Payesh today! She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated with pictures and notes, which gave us peace of mind. Payesh came back happy and relaxed, we could tell he was well taken care of. Highly recommend Ashley!”
“Alison was amazing from start to finish. Geordi doesn't normally take well to strangers but when we went for an initial meet and greet, he loved her right away and went in for a nuzzle. Alison's dog, Lily, is the sweetest girl and she and Geordi became instant bffs. During the day Alison sent me many updates and I never worried about him at all. I 100% recommend booking with Alison, I know I'll definitely be using her again!”
“Adam is caring, kind and patient. Our pup loves hanging out with Adam and his family. Over the past three months, we’ve left our pup with Adam over 10 times now. We’re very lucky to have found Adam through Rover. We’d highly recommend him!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Saksham. He was caring, reliable, and kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog Shadow was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable. We would absolutely recommend him and will book again without hesitation.”
“Ariana is great! My dog loves coming to her and rushed out the car door every time we arrive. She’s very dependable and caring and I know my dog is in good hands with her!”
“Our dog loves spending time with Brittany and we really appreciate her skills and approach with him. It's also great to see him running to front door when we drop him off.”
“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.”
“Ruby was well taken care of and we felt completely comfortable leaving her in excellent care. We received great updates and it was so reassuring to see her relaxing and having fun! Thank you-we will definitely use your wonderful services again!”
“Super thankful yet again for Edward and his family. We had a last minute request and Edward was super quick to respond to our call for help. We can see that Tako is comfortable in their home and Edward always sends us such cute photos of him sleeping or playing with the kids. It is clear that Edward and his family love and care for Tako and we are so glad to have found them.”
About: I grew up with animals around me while growing up on a farm. I love them, I respect their space and boundaries, and I always try to make them feel comfortable and loved ❤️ Available 7 days a week. Very flexible schedule even on the weekends. I typically spend my day taking care of my 3 cats with varying needs. I will respect your home and do my best to keep it clean and tidy while I’m there. I’ll make sure your pet is comforable, with plenty of play and exercise! I’ll make sure to clean food and water bowls, clean up their waste areas (litterboxes, pee pads, etc.), and give many cuddles if they're comfortable with me!
“Behnaz was excellent with Kylo, making sure he was comfortable during every stay, which is difficult since he has some pretty bad separation anxiety. He was even excited when we approached her building the next time we saw her! I would gladly book with her again.”
About: I have had dogs in my home since I was a young child. My most recent pup was a French Bulldog, who now resides with my parents. I am confident in delivering basic puppy training including walking on a leash, house commands, and behavior. I am an active person who really enjoys hikes and long walks, so if you have a high-energy dog that needs stimulation I am the guy! I work full-time from home and can accommodate dog-sitting, drop-ins, or walks during the day between Mon-Fri. My weekends are available for more sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I can provide boarding at any time! My partner and I do not own any pets but have a no-clutter house that is perfect for a dog of any size. I have a fenced yard (albeit small), end unit townhouse with a larger fenced common area for play and bathroom breaks. In addition, we back onto a larger trail network for lengthy walks.

I have had many cats all my life and now I have a Husky named Aurora who is an absolute joy to care for . I have a 3 story townhouse with lots of space for playing and a fenced in yard with space to run and have unlimited potty breaks! Aurora loves other dogs and is not aggressive at all(she's not spayed). I am available around the clock to keep an eye on your furbabies and/or have a vehicle to visit your home for walks and anything else your pet needs.

I am a hairstylist working from home, I work part time as a beauty advisor and hangout with pets with the rest of my free time :) Because I have a fenced yard I can offer many potty breaks if needed and Aurora is available all day to play and tire your pup out! If your pup needs a lot of walks, I can also provide that no problem whatsoever.
“Shannon took wonderful care of Mya and Teddy while we were away! Her photo updates and daily reports of my furbabies completely set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond with walks, fresh water, grooming, and lots of cuddles. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book her again.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Adam walking my husky mix while I was away recently. My dog is very large, and can be a bit reactive, but Adam was amazing with him. It is clear that he takes so much joy out of the time he spends with the animals and providing them with the best care. I got a message each day, letting me know how the walk went and how my boy was doing, which I really appreciated. It was my first time hiring a walker and it couldn't have gone better. I will absolutely be using Adam next time I have to be away.”
“Alex showed up on time and was polite and friendly for Links walk. He took him for a super nice walk and we got lots of photos. Would definitely book him again when I’m in need of a walk!”

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.
“Tilley and Karen were fast friends ! She responded promptly and was accommodating of our last minute request. She was patient, knowledgeable and willing to work on her in walk training. Highly recommend!”
About: Over 30 years of being a cat Mom, while also looking after cats for family and friends in their homes. I have experience giving medications, pills and injections. Litter boxes don’t scare me one bit! I know how to bathe a cat in 20 minutes with low stress for the cat and next to no scratches for me. I also know how to groom cats, and can do nail trims. I have a number of different techniques to play with the kitties. I love animals, especially cats, and totally understand cats, their moods and a cat’s cantankerous ways. I once had a golden retriever who was my kid for 12 years. Lovely dog. She crossed rainbow bridge in 2014, gone but not forgotten. Currently attending post secondary school online 9am to 1pm Monday to Friday, but available for your furry family member the rest of the time. I can come and visit your pet up to twice a day if needed. I do not sleep over in your home. I do not do visits/walks outside the KW area. For dog walking, here is my usual routine. I enter the door say hello to the pet, grab their leash, poop bags, and then prepare the pet for their walk. Put on clothes or boots if needed, collar and leash, then off we go!

“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.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care our dog Charley received from Emma and Victoria. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure both Charley and we felt completely comfortable. We received daily updates along with so many wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every message that Charley was not only being well cared for, but truly loved. He was walked every day, given plenty of playtime, and showered with attention. One of our favorite parts was seeing that he made new friends and was having such a great time socializing. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation! We are beyond happy with the care he received and are so grateful to have found such kind and attentive caregivers. We will absolutely be using Emma and Victoria again to take care of Charley in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Deborah has been a life saver for us. She watches Marvin all the time (day care and overnight) and we NEVER worry about him there. She is so careful and loving with him, and always sends us updates and pictures throughout the day. Her two dogs are so sweet and easy going, they are like his family to him now. He always comes back home so tired and happy, truly could not recommend her more!!”
“Can’t Thank her enough for her gentle care and warmth with my buddy, Berny…!!! She took utmost care of him whilst I was away for urgent trip, timely notifications and updates, which were perfect to see him enjoying…. THANK YOU AGAIN…!!”
“Priyanka took great care of Moose while we were away for a week. She was very open to doing a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it was the right fit for everyone, which we really appreciated. She took the time to get to know Moose and understand his personality and energy level, which was especially helpful since he has quite a lot of energy! She kept him entertained with lots of games of fetch and made sure he felt right at home. She also sent us regular updates every day, along with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Moose came home happy, tired, and ready to crash! We’d be happy to have Priyanka look after Moose again and would definitely recommend her to other dog parents looking for someone caring and attentive.”
“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 !”
“This was my second time having Eden and Jacob look after my girl. I love the pictures Eden sends to me so I can see how happy Willow is. Eden is excellent at communicating with me. I will book Willow with them again.”
“Had a great experience with Jana and our 14 pound shihpoo. Jana is kind, attentive and responds quickly. You can tell she is a genuine pet enthusiast who has a wonderful setup in her home for you pup to feel safe and provided for. She took our pup on lots of long walks and made sure he had everything he needed.”
“Melissa is amazing. We had a last minute commitment and she was able to accommodate having our dog stay with her. She was reassuring and we never felt worried to leave him with her. She also has a double gate system in her backyard which was an added bonus. Our dog was never left alone while he was there and had a great time playing with her Great Dane and a Lab puppy. She provided updates throughout the night and the next morning so we were always felt in the loop. And she was very quick to reply to our messages. When we went to pick him up he seemed sad to leave! Thanks for the exceptional care Melissa!!”

We would recommend anyone use Huang to look after their dog and will consider using the service again Thanks for taking care of Scooby for us”

They took them for multiple walks, sent pictures each day and you can tell they have had a lot of experience with dogs and always knew exactly what they needed to feel comfortable. We feel 100% confident in their abilities and would recommend them to anyone needing a sitter!”
