“Christopher watch our dogs for 8 days while we were gone! One of our dogs is insulin dependant and the other is a bit skiddish. Christopher made sure to come visit the house not once, but twice before we left so he made sure the dogs were comfortable with him! When we returned home, the house was just the way we left it, nice and clean! I would highly recommend him to watch your dogs as he truely does love dogs and is there for the well being of the dogs!”
About: I've grown up with animals and have taken care of friend and family pets over the course of my life (am now in my 40s). And I've been taking care of cats and dogs professionally for a few years now, from young to old, healthy to less healthy. I'm very good at bonding with the animals, adjusting to their own pace and ways of being and so making them feel at ease. I work from home, so I'm around the animals a lot. Being a freelancer, I make my own schedule and this flexibility makes it easy to attend to the pets' needs. I'm also an early riser so it's no problem to take care of them early on in the day. I only offer house-sitting so I'll be in your home and will work with that configuration as per your instructions to ensure the pet's safety and well-being.
“April was the perfect sitter for Marco, our 5 month old puppy, she took the job very seriously and provided me with updates throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again :)”

“I know Jean-François both as a friend and a business associate and trust him implicitly. He is highly responsible, calm and organized and has a great love of cats and dogs, which I have seen through the years I have known him. Truly I can think of no one I would rather have look after my property and animals than him due to his levelheadedness and thoughtful nature.”
