“We are so happy with Melissa and her family and well they took care of Syrus while we were on vacation. Loved receiving the pictures and updates everyday...it helped us to enjoy ourselves knowing that he was safe and enjoying his time with their dog. Thank you very much and we will definitely be using you again on our next trip!”
“Julia & her husband exceeded our expectations! They took care of Neal for 5 weeks and updated us how Neal was doing while we were away. We had peace of mind knowing that Neal was taking care of and having a good time with their own dogs. We came back from vacation & happy to see our dog clean, happy and healthy. We will definitely use their services again. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you Herminia! This was Nova's first overnight away and it was a same day request. It was also my first time using the App. She responded quickly, she sent updates via photos and videos and looks like Nova felt right at home with her family and dogs. We're so grateful and will absolutely book with her again!”
“I do not have the words to express the gratitude that I have for Lori and her family. The love she provides is unmatched. Her whole family embraced my dog, like it was one of their own. He was absolutely spoiled with love, treats, and the ability to destroy any dog toy in his path. I would STRONGLY recommend Lori, Tom and Michael. They are amazing people with the biggest hearts! Great communication, and even better photos! It was such a piece of mind knowing my little man was loved just as much as he would of been if I was home 💕🥹😍”
“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!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Noor was looked after so well, and the gorgeous photos we received were such a lovely bonus. It was clear she was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Loran is an excellent dog sitter. Her communication is fantastic. She updated us regularly. We are definetly going to use her again in future. It was the first time we left Qiqi with anyone else so we were all nervous. Qiqi seemed to enjoy herself and was well cared for. Highly recommend Loryn!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay at Margaret’s house, with lots of snuggles and so much fun interactive play too. Margaret’s house is set up perfect for looking after animals as it is secured well with multiple gates that help make pick up and drop a breeze as well, there r lots of places in case a pup needs some quiet time too I would highly recommend, I am very comfortable trusting my pup to Margaret in the future”
“Sam is a perfect dog-sitter. She and her fiancé welcomed Molly and made her so comfortable despite being an anxious dog. I couldn’t have chosen a better fit! Sam met with us prior to our booking to get to know us and see Molly in person. We so appreciate her amazing experience!”
“Excellent sitters. They were friendly and took great care of out pup. They sent photos each day during their walks and while the our pup was sleeping. Thank you for being great hosts.”
“We are so happy to have met Mahan, she took amazing care of our 1.5 year old Cavapoo for 10 days!! It was our first time being away from him for that long and she provided regular updates and pictures that made me feel so good to know he was doing well. We first met with a meet and greet and her dog and my dog got along really nicely. She also has a lovely clean and calm home! I highly recommend Mahan for any dog care and will be booking again!”
“Natalie and Daniel took care of our Bruce for a week. They sent us daily pictures and updates. Although we were missing Bruce, we were able to have a relaxing vacation because we knew that he's in good and capable hands. They took good care of him and gave him lots of love during his stay. Thanks to both of you!”
“We left our three year-old retriever, Nora, with Kripa for three days. This was our first time using Rover and, honestly, I was a little nervous, leaving her with a stranger. We had a first meet and greet and all went well. In fact, I was very happy how Nora played in interacted with her dog. When I dropped Nora off, Iimmediately received photos and videos within an hour. I did not expect this to continue, but I was happy to continually get pictures and updated videos of Nora‘s integration, walks, and life throughout the three days we were away. This made myself and my kids so happy to see that we had made such great of choice of boarding. I would definitely use Kripa again. Her communication and punctuality is outstanding. Her house is very clean and she is very easy to talk with. Thank you again for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“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 ❤️”
About: Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting for 20 years. I absolutely love having the energy of a dog around and getting to know all their personalities. I work from home, running my own business so I have 100% flexibility and freedom when it comes to caring and playing with pups during the day. I have two girls (between ages of 6-9) who are at school during the day and spend every other weekend away at their dad’s. I have a fenced backyard that opens up to my parking lane, which can be closed with a fabric gate. There are both grassy and pavement areas and a covered bungalo shelter depending on their preferences. I always have toys on site to play with pups.
“Liliana was absolutely amazing with Siku. He requires patience because he is by nature a guard dog and therefore apprehensive around new people. But he warmed up to Liliana quickly and before long he was comfortable. He seemed extremely content!”

Melissa and her family were great! Lots of daily updates with great pictures and videos. Definitely made us feel that our dog Max was very well taken care of and that he was part of Melissa family while he stayed there. Will definitely look to use Melissa again in the future.
A wonderful experience - while we were away and our girls were on their ‘retreat’ they were cared for with absolute love. Our dogs became part of their family, and the daily photos let us know that the girls were both settling in and then perfectly at home. The girls got into their regular habits, playing with each other, sleeping on the back of the couch, and Julia even held an umbrella for Scarlett when it rained! Would send the girls on retreat again any time!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with William! This was our first time ever leaving our dog in someone else’s care, so we were naturally nervous. However, William’s incredible communication and willingness to understand our unique needs, put our hearts at ease. We received daily updates and plenty of pictures and videos, which we absolutely loved!! Our dog was clearly well taken care of and loved while with him. We couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely be reaching out to William in the future. What an amazing human being!
Karen was truly an angel on earth while caring for our paralyzed dog, Kai. Leaving our dog in someone else’s care was understandably nerve-wracking, especially given his mobility challenges and medically prescribed daily needs. From the moment we connected with Karen, she put our minds at ease with her compassion, professionalism, and clear love for animals. She was incredibly attentive to all of his care requirements and followed his medical routine with great detail. Karen maintained constant communication throughout the stay and never hesitated to reach out if she had any questions or wanted clarification. That level of diligence meant the world to us. The photo and video updates she sent were far more frequent than we’ve experienced with other boarders, and we genuinely looked forward to each one. Seeing our dog comfortable, happy, and so well cared for gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that Karen cared for our pet as if he were her own. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she showed. We would trust Karen again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially families with pets who have special medical or mobility needs.
Amanda was super amazing with Mikko. He had such a blast with her the whole day and we could see it in the picture updates she sent us. We totally appreciate Amanda’s communication throughout the day, especially with it being Mikko’s first time with pet sitter. 100% we’ll be going back and Mikko will probably love that.
Samantha sat Harley for four nights while I was at a work trip and took such good care of him. She went over and above anything I could’ve expected.. Harley experience a medical incident while in her care and the level of support, comfort, patience, and knowledge that she put forth to deal with the issue was exemplary. I could not have expected better care. from even my own family.. we were in constant communication. She shared concerns. We worked through remedies in the end, Harley received the best care that he could.. I would highly recommend Samantha to take care for and treat your pup or senior in the best way possible as if he were a part of her own family.
Shelby provided an extraordinary care for my two huskies during their stay with her. From the flexibility to do a Meet and Greet to providing me daily updates of my dogs; she made me feel at ease. Her place was good environment (closer to what we have at home); a family place, not a kennel. She also brushed them and provided some 1-1 time to each one of them as they love their pets. For sure, I will consider her again for another boarding when the family is travelling. Thank you for making my time off more relaxing as well.
Boarded our dog Milo with Gabi for 10 days while away on vacation. She is a great care giver and dog lover and we feel so glad to have her for doggie daycare and boarding when needed. She checked in with us by sending photos so we knew Milo was doing well. Gabi was quick to respond when we just missed our pup and wanted an update. Strongly recommend Gabi for any dog sitting needs!
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!
Kyla took wonderful care of Buddy while we were away. He was comfortable, well looked after, and clearly had a great time making new dog friends. We really appreciated Kyla’s prompt communication and regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. Buddy came back happy and relaxed. We would absolutely book with her again.
