“As a first time user of this app/service we were a bit nervous but after meeting Rachita we felt our little guys were going to be in good hands. Rachita was helpful and very easy to work with any questions we had she answered, she was always quick to respond and from our report cards during our trip we knew our little guys were being taken care of. We would recommend Rachita and this service to anyone and do plan to use Rachita in the future.”


“Jazzy is truly the best person to take care of your pets when you're away. We recently had her spend the weekend at our place, and she was so lovely and caring. She took care of not only our kitten but also our house. She did a meet and greet prior to the visit. Jazzy kept us updated with messages and videos, and she kept us in the loop. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and caring pet sitter.”


“I had the pleasure of having Wing as my drop-in sitter for over a month while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is extremely responsible, always on time, and truly kind to my two cats. Wing took great care of them — refilling their food, changing their water, cleaning the litter box, and even helping with the water tank for my vacuum robot. As a cat owner who misses their pets dearly while traveling, I was especially grateful for the photos and videos Wing sent during every visit. They brought me so much comfort and peace of mind, knowing my cats were well cared for and happy. I truly appreciate her dedication and care — it made all the difference during my time away. Highly recommended!”


“Sally was wonderful! So kind and thorough on our meet and greet visit, following up with texts full of details discussed. She was great with Charlie and provided updates and photos/videos during her visit and walk! I highly recommend Sally and will book her again in the future.”


About: I'm a proud cat parent and a dog lover in your area that can be your extension of care when your pets need it the most! I have volunteered at animal care centres around the world and do so regularly locally as well. I really enjoy being around them and it is my favourite hobby. I can't get enough of being around lovable animals. I find myself easily making friends with them as I see all animals have unique and big personalities! I would love to give lots of care and love to animals as I know they have a lot to give back too! I would love to play indoors, keep them active by taking them for walks, ensure they have their feedings and any other needs.

About: Hi! I’m an award-winning, Fear Free Certified caregiver with a passion for helping animals feel safe, loved, and understood. I’ve fostered 14 companions through the Toronto Humane Society, focusing on those with medical or behavioural needs who require extra patience and TLC. From building trust with anxious animals to administering medications, I offer individualized care that meets each one exactly where they are. I know how hard it can be to leave your companion with someone new. That’s why I create a calm, low-stress experience for both you and your animal. If you're looking for someone who understands anxiety, reactivity, and routines, I'd be honored to help. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and support every step of the way. I work part-time remotely, which means I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, extended stay, or regular check-ins, I can adjust my schedule to meet your companion’s needs. Your animal will never feel rushed, they’ll have my full focus and care. When housesitting, I treat your home and companions with the utmost respect and care. I follow your routines and any special instructions closely to create a calm, familiar environment for your animals. I ensure all doors, windows, and gates are securely closed, and keep an attentive eye on your companions’ wellbeing throughout my stay. As a Fear Free Certified caregiver, I’m trained to minimize stress and help your animals feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to provide regular updates and communicate openly so you can feel confident your home and companions are in trusted hands.

About: I’m a psychologist and currently an international student with flexible schedule. I have had dogs, cats and hamsters for my last 15 years and I certainly love them! I enjoy taking care of them and make them feel safe. Animals make my life happy 😊 I’m currently studying twice a week, so I have plenty of time to take care of new furry friends. I'm always flexible to accommodate to your needs. I like to listen first to the dogs and cats' owners. They know for sure how their pet behaves. I usually follow all their recommendations and try to create a safe, calm but friendly environment for the pets, according to their preferences.

“Diana went above and beyond for my kitties! She listened to all my crazy concerns for the 3 of them and really tried to bond with all of them. I’d use her every time.”


“Taylor was a great last minute find for our cats. She’s very friendly, and at least one of them warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was punctual and paid attention to the minor details that mattered to make our trip worry free. We will enlist her again for sure.”

“We booked Tharmi to watch our cat for daily one-hour visits while we were away for 2 weeks. Tharmi was attentive to our cat, made sure she had fresh water and food, and kept us informed about how things were going by sending us daily updates, pictures, and videos. We would definitely hire him again!”


“We are so glad we found Michelle! She is so patient with our stubborn pup. She has been reliable, flexible, and great with communication. It's clear from the photo and video updates she sends that Snickers is excited to see her for her visits. We are repeat clients and highly recommend her services!”


“Dianne cared for our cats for three days and did a great job. She was very communicative, followed all instructions, and we came home to happy, relaxed cats. We will happily book her again!”


About: I am the owner of a three-year-old tabby cat, and have had him since he was a kitten. I have significant experience taking care of him and other pets. I had neighbors trust me to drop in and check-in on their puppy while they were out. They trusted me fully to take care of their puppy and were satisfied with the care I provided when they came back. I am currently a university student, so I have time to stop by and visit your pets for an hour a day to ensure they have enough food, and water, clean litter boxes, and play with your fur babies. It is my responsibility to ensure they have all the necessities every day while your pets are in my care. I will care for pets at my client's house. Pets are more adaptable to change when they are in a familiar environment. It cases less stress and helps them to feel more safe. Your pet's safety and comfort are my number 1 priority. I make sure to visit my client's house prior to the service date to ensure I am aware of where all your pet's necessities are - food, water, bed, toys - are confirm where the limits are. These visits will also be a good introductory meeting for your pets as well. I make sure to get all the necessary information I may need in cases of emergency, including your phone number, a substitute emergency contact and your pet's vet information.

About: I have worked in the field of applied behavioral analysis for over 10 years. I am well aware of the importance of care needed by individuals and pets I currently moved to this area and want to provide a service to the community. I am aware of how having someone looking after your pet, gives the owner peace of mind. Pets need to be understood and cared for like any other living being. By dedicating the time to build rapport and gain their trust I ensure we develop a lasting bond.

Shehmeen B.
“I was volunteering at an animal shelter in Morocco where I met Shehmeen. I found her to be careful and loving towards the animals at the shelter - primarily dogs & cats.

She took the time to understand my pet’s needs, routines, and quirks, and created a calm, low-stress environment that made me and my pet feel completely at ease. Vanessa provided regular updates and sweet photos, and I could see how relaxed and comfortable my companion was in her care. She is incredibly detail-oriented and respectful, both with pets and in the home. It is clear she treats each animal like an individual and truly wants them to feel safe, loved, and understood. If you are looking for someone you can trust completely, especially for pets with anxiety, special needs, or medical routines, Vanessa is it. I would not hesitate to book her again.”

Natasha S.Star Sitter
“Natasha is our saviour! We moved to this area recently with our 120lb Great Dane mix and didn't know anyone who could take him overnight. Natasha has experience with extra large dogs and was willing to stay at our house where he's more comfortable. She took him for numerous walks, played with him, slept with him and I'm pretty sure he loves her more than he loves us now! She even helped us with a remedy for thinning spots in his fur. She was in contact with us each day sending updates, pictures and videos. We highly recommend her. She has such a kind, dog loving heart.”

Nishany S.
“We had an amazing experience with Nishany. We had to urgently leave to Germany to attend a funeral of a close relative. I was extremely worried about finding someone to look after my cat. This was the first time that everyone in the family had to travel. We don't want to just drop our cat in an unfamiliar environment. My coworker gave me Nishany's contact information and said we could leave our cat in the comfort of his own home, and she could regularly visit and take care of him. We called her at the last minute. Nishany was very accommodating. She visited our house within an hour and spend time with our cat and gained his trust while we were still there. She carefully took wrote down his routines and any concerns. We left our cat with her care for two weeks. She provided daily updates with photos and live videos. This gave us the peace of mind. She is very caring and compassionate. When we got back, our cat stayed healthy and happy. We will definitely leave our cat with Nishany every time we need to travel.”

“Santiago is very reliable and dependable individual He is trustworthy and capable He has a very calm and respectful attitude towards all living creatures He would be a great choice to care for your loved one”
