“Holly is so loving and careful with our senior boy. She makes sure to report in and send wonderful photos and updates so we know what is happening. We really appreciate Holly’s professionalism as well as her affectionate attitude.”


“Victoria was very loving and caring for our 8 months lab retriever Keeshu while we were away for a trip for 6 days. She was always on time for her walks and food. She sent us regular updates with photos. She would also clean up after any mess that Keeshu made. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone who would care for your pet as their own :)”


“We had to leave 15 year old fur baby for 3 weeks and we left him in Michelle's care. She followed all our notes that we had left and was proactive in letting us know how he was doing. Michelle took not only took care of our furbaby, but our plants and our home very well. Happy to have Michelle look after our guy anytime!”


“Casey stayed with my 2 year old poodle Baxter for a three day stay recently. She came recommended by my friend which is always a great bonus. She took excellent care of my little buddy and also left my place very neat and tidy. She’s a great communicator and followed Baxter’s scheduled walk routine keeping him exercised and happy. I’m already booking her again for a future stay in April! I would definitely recommend Casey to anyone looking for an in home dog sitter.”


About: I've had family dogs, found my cat in my backyard, and have rescued countless animals (mostly dogs, some raccoons, birds, and cats). Worked on a dairy farm for 5 years where I got a lot of varied experience with all kinds of different animals. I've trained a few puppies and have taken care of many special-needs animals (usually dogs). I work remotely and make my own schedule! I wake up early and go for a run every day so early morning care is also no problem! Having worked on a farm I am an excellent protector of animals, particularly if they are under my care. I'm also quite fit and love the outdoors so spending time with your fur babies outside is an absolute joy! Regular check-ins to make sure they don't get stressed out, and quality time spent with them so they have the companionship they need!

About: Over the years I have walked and looked after friends, family, and neighbours four legged furry friends. I also have had three dogs of my own in all different shapes and sizes (no body shamming here). I am an active person and ensure that your dog’s needs are met whether it’s running, jogging or going for a nice stroll through the park. I am willing to take on the responsibility of caring for your animals in all aspects with enthusiasm. I am currently a college student who has some extra time on their hands during the weekdays, and the weekends. I have a flexible schedule, however, changes may occur as I have to make time for my personal life. When needed for services we I am willing to workout times and dates that works for everyone. To ensure the safety of my pets I have always had a fenced and gated yard, clients have also had a similar setup. Making it more enjoyable for myself and the dogs to get some fresh air and play time.

“This was our first working with Sruthi and Vivek and we were not disappointed. We got regular updates, photos and videos from Sruthi. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we got home and that is always a sure sign that he was well taken of. We'd love to have Sruthi and Vivek watch our precious fur baby anytime!”


About: My wife and I have been around dogs our entire lives—we’ve both cared for them since we were kids, and that lifelong experience has given us a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. Over the years, we’ve become the go-to sitters for our family and friends, who trust us to look after their dogs with the same love and attention we give our own. We currently have a dog of our own who we care for with incredible passion and dedication and we would treat yours as if it's our own. We’re comfortable with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes—from playful puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace. Whether it’s high-energy walks, giving medication, or just keeping a consistent routine, we’re committed to making every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while in our care. Pet care fits naturally into our routine and lifestyle. I own a landscaping company, but lately I’ve taken on less of a physical role and do most of my work from my home office—especially during the summer—so I’m available throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. My wife is a teacher, which means she’s home full-time during the summer and available after school hours during the school year. In the winter, my landscaping business slows down, and I usually take on substitute teaching, which offers me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to adjust my availability around pet care needs, making sure your dog is never left alone for long and always gets the love and attention they deserve At our home, we have a large fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for dogs of all sizes to run, play, and safely enjoy the outdoors. We make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort, treating them like part of the family while they’re with us. Our home is clean, pet-friendly, and a calm, welcoming space for all animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we’re clean, respectful, and always mindful that we’re guests in someone else’s space. I’m no stranger to working in other people’s homes and yards—my landscaping business has taught me the importance of professionalism, trust, and care when on someone else’s property. You can count on us to treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and responsibility

“Jessica was kind enough of take my request a few days before I was scheduled to leave town with my family for the long weekend. I had never entrusted anyone with my dogs (and my home) other than my friends and family, but Jessica could 100% be trusted. She's reliable, kind, caring and trust worthy. She took care of Bella, Marley and Zoey as though it were her own dogs and followed the care instructions for each dog. Our senior dog developed a tooth infection throughout the weekend. Jessica took the time to help me build a timeline for the vet of when Bella could have shown signs of it through her attention to detail and the photos and videos she took to update me while I was gone. I will definitely have Jessica back based on the stellar service she provided in keeping my dogs and home safe while I was away. Thank you Jessica!!”


About: I have taken care of dogs overnight for up to a week when friends and family travel. Never done it as a paid gig so far. Even though I do nit have a dog because if family obligations right now, I am very good with them. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies when you are not around for some time. Both my cats are indoor cats so I have set up big cat trees for them to hangout. They are welcome on the furniture and the bed if they ever need to join me

My neighborhood has lots of peaceful walking spots, and parks. I have a car and license so incase of an emergency I can take your pet to the vet. I’ll be sending you regular check-ins and photo updates so you’re always connected.

“Jackie took care of our dog Teddy (6 yrs) for a week. We had never entrusted him to anyone before and were nervous since we were flying far away from him. He is very attached so it was important to have someone who would stay with him at night, walk him, and keep him happy. Jackie sent pictures and kept in contact to reassure us that he was fine. We were able to have a great vacation. I am so glad to be able to call Jackie when we need her help.”
