We are so grateful for the wonderful care our senior “princess” cat, received during our week away. Because she is older and sometimes experiences confusion and anxiety, being away from us for an extended time has been stressful for her in the past. This time was very different. Nicole and family followed all instructions carefully and truly went above and beyond. She didn’t just drop in, she spent time closely interacting with our girl, giving her the affection, play, snuggles, lap time, and lots of gentle attention. Our senior cat does best when she has people around to help her feel safe and relaxed, Nicole and family met all her needs. We also really appreciated the daily updates so we could see how things were going at home. When we came home, she seemed calm, happy, and much less stressed than after previous trips. It was clear she was very well cared for, and we’re very grateful for the kindness and attention she received. We will rebook with Nicole and Kristopher again.

My cats are very afraid of people. When someone comes into our house they always hide but with Jemily went smoothly, they loved her. She is so careful, attended to the details and friendly. Definitely, I will always call her if I need a hand with my babies.

Elena was fantastic when looking after my mother's cat, Suzie, while she was away on holidays. I very much appreciated the videos, photos and reports every drop in visit. We could be assured Suzie was in great care. Elena was always prompt responding to messages. I definitely hire Elena again.

About: I have experience looking after dogs with a disability (blind, diabetic, etc) and all ages. As well, I have a dog of my owe, a miniature dachshund, who has severe food restrictions. I am very capable of ensuring certain diets or plans are met with each dog. Services are tailored to each owner’s individual requirements. Upon agreement, we will establish a schedule that best suits both the owner and their dog, whether that includes daily check-ins, extended visits, or overnight stays. I am flexible and committed to providing reliable, attentive, and accommodating care. Please note that, in addition to dog sitting, I work full-time in a hybrid role. While I will always do my best to work from the owner’s home whenever possible, there may be occasions where this cannot be guaranteed. I appreciate your understanding and will communicate openly to ensure expectations are clear and care arrangements remain seamless. I provide attentive, responsible, and personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s preferences. My priority is always the pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I begin by reviewing all care instructions in detail, including feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medications, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations. I follow these guidelines closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I ensure your pet remains in a familiar environment while receiving regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and any required medication. I keep the home clean and secure, and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed.

Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!

About: I’m naturally calm, patient, and very detail-oriented, which makes a big difference for both pets and their owners. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether that’s a playful puppy needing structure or a senior pet needing a slower, more gentle pace. I’m comfortable giving medications when needed and I make sure everything stays clean, organized, and stress-free. Because I run my own cleaning business, being trusted in people’s homes is something I take seriously. Pet care fits in really well with my routine. I’m self-employed as a cleaner, so I have flexibility in my schedule and can plan visits in the mornings, between clients during the day, and in the evenings. I’m used to being organized and on time, so I make sure each pet gets consistent, unrushed care. I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking closely to their usual routine. I take care of feeding, walks, litter cleaning, and any special instructions, and I always make sure their space stays clean and stress-free. I adjust to each pet’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or more independent—and make sure they get the right balance of attention and calm. I also send regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is going smoothly.
