Kylie was so great! She was able to stay at our campsite while we took a boat cruise. Our two lives were well taken care of. The park ranger even tried to steal our cooler and Kylie went after the ranger! Thank you so much for watching our babies. Would definitely use you again if ever in the area.

Lydia was amazing with our girls (dogs) and boy (cat). Always giving us updates, giving them love and taking them in special trips. My girls missed her the first night she was away. She went the extra mile. We will definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.

Sophia looked after our golden retriever and our house for 24 days while we were out of country. She did an excellent job at taking care of our dog and our house was returned to us in excellent condition. Sophia was great at communicating with us while we were away. We would recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.

Jenn was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her! This was the first time we've ever left our 14 year old pup with anyone other than family. She sent us pictures and kept us updated all weekend. Thank you Jenn for making this such a positive experience ❤️ 🐾

About: I’ve been dog sitting throughout high school and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. As I head into my third year of university, I’m looking to earn some extra savings for school while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether that’s walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or plenty of affection, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m currently off school until September and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets. I work casual shifts at a hospital, so my availability varies, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about scheduling. As a pet owner myself with a pug at home, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your pets while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. In your home, I will treat both your pet and your space with respect, keeping things clean and secure while providing regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I’m dedicated to ensuring your furry friend receives the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. From energetic puppies and playful large breeds to senior dogs who prefer leisurely strolls, I’ve worked with them all. I believe every dog deserves loving care, and I’m committed to building trust with both pets and their owners. Let me make your dog’s day with fun-filled walks and personalized attention! I am currently working part-time. I would love my free time to be spent with my favourite animal, being outside, getting exercise, doing what I love.

About: I have owned and lived with dogs, and cats for the past 10 years. My current dog is high energy and we'll titled. I'm happy to work with puppies, and provide a little anxiety relief to your pets. Looking for someone to take your dog out while your on a long shift, longer walks than your able, or social/training enriched walks, I'm able to help. I grew up on a hobby farm and am more then happy to spend time with ducks, chickens, rabbits etc. I currently work full time from home, if you have wifi I can be there all day. I have a dog as well, he can come for social play dates, or stay home. For longer stay, my furbaby can come along for doggy socialization or I can alternate on a plan that works for both of us. Dogs love routine, keeping to their routine is safest. I practice positive reinforcement for pets. For dogs who pull on walks ii prefer a harness, it's safer for us and them, and have plenty of dual clip leashes to work on heeling with them.

I would feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again. I got updates and lots of pictures. The pups seemed happy and in good health when I came home and the house was just as clean as we left it. 10/10

About: I love animals, how can you not!? I would love nothing more than to provide great care for your furry family member while you’re away.

They are magical creatures and deserve all the love. We promise to love on your pet and take the best care in your absence. I have a flexible schedule and work from home.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve had them since I was young and have spent the last 12 years caring for others’ pets as well. I recently lost my beloved French Bulldog, who required a lot of dedicated care, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. Because I’m completing my Master’s degree from home, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule. This allows me to be available during the day for walks, feedings, and ongoing supervision, ensuring pets receive consistent, attentive care rather than being left alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important routine and a calm environment are, so I do my best to keep things consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just how they like to relax. I’m very mindful about safety in the home and always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I also keep communication open so you always know how your pet is doing. These things were so important to me with my own dog.

About: I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care for dogs, cats, and other pets, treating every animal as part of my family. I have experience with high-energy dogs, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications, feeding on schedule, and maintaining clean and safe environments. As a tech consultant who works mostly from home, I’m present for most of the day, giving pets consistent supervision, companionship, and attention. I also offer flexible care options, including overnight stays, house sitting, and part-time visits. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals, my attention to routines, and my ability to create a calm and loving environment where pets feel safe and happy. I’m happy to provide references or share reviews from previous sits to give clients peace of mind. As a self-employed professional working from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with pets, providing consistent companionship and care. I lead a calm, healthy lifestyle, enjoy quiet, home-based activities, and love spending time with animals. Pets are a joy to be around, and I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and entertaining environment for them while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with deep respect, as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all routines, safety instructions, and house rules to ensure pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I maintain a clean, peaceful space and keep a quiet, calm presence—ideal for pets who need stability or are sensitive to change. They are never left alone for long. I provide a cozy, quiet, and safe environment where they can rest, play, and feel part of the family. I always prioritize their emotional and physical well-being, and I stay in regular communication with pet parents for peace of mind.

Jacobe responded very quickly to my last minute request when another sitter had to cancel last minute. He made a trip to meet myself and Millie before the booking was confirmed so we could make sure Millie and I were comfortable with him. He took very good care of both Millie and my friend's dog Buddy, sent lots of photos so we could see how it was going and left everything in great shape, including a couple of tired, happy dogs. I would definitely book him again in the future.
