“This past weekend, December 12–14, Amanda looked after our pup, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. We had never left our pup with anyone before, so we were understandably nervous. Amanda immediately put us at ease by doing a meet and greet beforehand, keeping us updated 3–4 times a day, and returning our pup happy and relaxed. She even took him to Value Pet for a photo with the Grinch 😂 — absolutely adorable and above and beyond what we expected. I would 100% recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to take care of their pup. 🐾💛”

Thanks to both of you!”

“I recently had Herminia take care of my dog Sammy, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From our very first interaction, Herminia came across as warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I immediately felt confident that Sammy was going to be in excellent hands. Throughout the entire time Sammy was with her, Herminia was incredibly kind, caring, and sweet. More importantly, she was extremely attentive to Sammy's individual needs and quirks. It was clear that she took the time to understand what made Sammy comfortable and adjusted her care accordingly. That level of personalized attention is something you don't always find, and it made all the difference. One thing that really stood out to me was how confident Herminia was in handling Sammy. She wasn't hesitant or unsure—she knew exactly what to do and how to make my pup feel safe and secure. As a pet parent, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog is with someone who truly knows what they're doing. Communication was also top-notch. Herminia sent regular updates, including photos and messages, so I always knew how Sammy was doing. It gave me such peace of mind while I was away, knowing that she was going above and beyond to ensure Sammy was comfortable and content. I never had to wonder or worry because she kept me in the loop every step of the way. Before booking, I read through the positive reviews from other pet owners, and I can honestly say that every single one of them is accurate. Herminia delivers exactly what she promises—reliable, loving, and attentive care. She's clearly built a reputation for good reason, and my experience only reinforces that she's someone you can trust completely. I would absolutely recommend Herminia to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She treated Sammy like part of her own family, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need someone to care for my pup. Thank you, Herminia, for taking such wonderful care of Sammy!”
“We are so grateful that Margaret took wonderful care of our precious boy. It was our 1st time leaving him for more than a couple hours. She took so much stress away by letting us know he was doing well. Highly recommend, she offered a wonderful experience for our family.”
“My 5mo old pup had the greatest time with Vanessa and her sweet dog Bella. Vanessa sent me so many updates throughout the day with pictures even without asking. My puppy seemed so comfortable at her home when I arrived to pick him up, he even ran back to give her a hug!”
“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!”
“Mahan took such great care of our girl, Twix, this weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Twix was in such good hands. You can tell Mahan genuinely cares — we came home to a happy, well-looked-after doggy. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”

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.
I got Kazi’s reference from my friend. During our first meeting we found that Kazi and her family are so friendly and welcoming. We booked her all the way from Markham for our furbaby Rico for 11 days. During Rico’s stay she updated daily his feeding schedule as Rico is a picky eater. She was the first one besides our family was able to feed him every day. We also got plenty of pictures and videos which gave us a mental satisfaction. I highly recommend Kazi for your furbaby if you would like to go for peaceful vacations. Once again thank you soo much Kazi for taking such a great care of Rico🥰
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.
