“Victoria was such a great help for our last minute vacation. She worked with me to answer all my questions and put our minds at ease prior to leaving. She provided multiple daily updates and was overall so great. We really appreciated her kind personality and how she went above and beyond, doing extra things for our cat and keeping our apartment clean. For the five days she was here.”
“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!”
“We recently hired Jahzara to care for our dogs while we were away, and she was fantastic! She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand to learn things about their routines , and we received regular updates and photos during our trip. Our dogs were happy and relaxed, which showed how well she cared for them. I highly recommend Jahzara for anyone needing a reliable pet sitter”
“It was my first time using Rover, and Angela was the first name on the search. I liked her self-introduction and the reviews she had. It was a bold decision for me as I decided to book her for 34 straight evenings. Nonetheless, I was nervous to leave my W, H, and M with a stranger, but Angela was great. The way she took care of my babies was beyond my expectations. Moreover, she spent extra time, without my request, hanging out with the clowder and sweeping my suite. I was pleased to see my babies just how they were when I left a month ago. Thank you, Auntie A.”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Stephanie as a dog sitter for my Lulu, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I contacted her, she was incredibly responsive and attentive to Lulu and my needs. She took the time to get to know Lulu, asking about her routine, preferences, and any special care she might need. During her time with Lulu, she went above and beyond, ensuring Lulu felt comfortable and loved. Stephanie provided regular updates, complete with adorable photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Lulu's well-being and happiness. When I returned home, Lulu was not only well-cared for but also seemed to have formed a lovely bond with her sitter. I highly recommend Stephanie as a dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated to providing exceptional care for their furry friends! She even made sure she kept the house and Lulu clean and followed all my instructions for how to care for Lulu.”
About: In 1.5 yrs of pet sitting, I’ve had fun with more than 33 pets and enjoyed meeting many nice pet parents. I work 20 hrs online and have a lot of time to care for your pet(s). I’m reliable and have never cancelled a sit. I will leave your place clean and tidy. I work online about 20 hrs a week. I am up between 6 and 7am. I care for your fur baby then do a 20 minute workout, and get ready for my day. I work a couple of hours then take a break and enjoy time with your pet. I will work a couple more hours somewhere in the day. I am flexible. I usually go to bed between 10 and 11pm. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s) and a house. I am passionate about cats, dogs, and birds. I take time to observe them and learn about their personality. I see myself as a pet grandma. I give them extra attention and love. I used to own a cleaning business, so I always leave your house clean and I wash bedding and towels unless you don't want me to. I enjoye caring for a house. When I care for cats, dogs, or birds I follow the your instructions. I would not want your pet to get sick while in my care. If pets enjoy brushing, I spend a lot of time brushing. I love walking so I’ll walk the dog as instructed, sometimes more. If yoru dog likes car rides, I may even take him/her to the beach if you agree. I only pet sit one dog at a time, but I’ve pet sit 6 cats at once. I’m experienced with senior pets and giving medications. I really love animals.
“We are grateful to Sydney for taking such good care of our senior dog. Our sitting request was very last minute, but Sydney responded quickly and positively Sydney administered our dog's, also named Sydney, various liquid medications. She let our Sydney sleep with her, ensuring he felt comfortable and safe. Our Sydney obviously felt comfortable with Sydney, the sitter, because he ate. He is a very picky eater and often won't eat if we are away. Sydney was also good at keeping us informed, sending pictures and asking for clarification about his medicine or routine. I would recommend Sydney and would be happy to have her sit with our Sydney again.”
“Sandy took care of little Nila for a day for us and she was really good with her. She made sure to follow all of her routine. She took good notes of all of Nila's daily routine, all of her necessities, emergency contact and vet office. She kept us updated frequently with photos, videos and fun blurbs about Nila's day. We were able to be gone for the day stress-free knowing Nila was in good hands. Would definitely get her help again!”
“Kerry-Ann was a fantastic sitter! She was punctual, so lovely to talk to, and ensured she had all the information she needed to care for Grady. She constantly updated us with photos and videos throughout the day and connected with him really well - he whined when she left to go home! I can't recommend her enough! Thanks so much Kerry-Ann - you are AWESOME!”
“This was Erica’s second time sitting with Theo & it went just as well as the first, if not better. Her personality & experience are a perfect fit for Theo’s personality. She even got him to take his pills without any issue. I definitely will recommend her to others & hire her again.”
About: I have had dogs stay over for a few days to a week, even stay in clients home with 3 dogs and played with them in pool, I am happy to walk as often or as little as required. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to come as soon as required, I love all animals , love enjoying fresh air with them and just being around them. Grew up with many cats and dogs and it made me a real animal lover. I am looking for walking , pop in visits and over nights in clients home, as we do not have a fenced in yard where I live presently.
About: I am a young adult with a passion to work with dogs. I currently am working towards becoming a dog trainer. I have always grown up with dogs in the house, so I know each dog has their own personality! I love getting to know them one-on-one and start forming bonds. Every dog has different needs that I am capable of meeting. I love being outside and exploring new areas (and possibly finding a treat or two) so keeping up with energetic dogs is no issue for me. Snuggles and pets are another favourite pass time for more timid or mature dogs that I have no problem doing! Choosing me to care for your pet, you won’t have to worry about a thing. I am willing to work with you to make sure your fur baby will be the happiest and healthiest while you’re away!
