“From the initial meet and greet, it was clear that Snickers felt comfortable around Daniel and was happy to see him. He has been great to communicate with, very reliable and easy-going. I feel confidant knowing he is taking care of Snickers during the day on his weekly visits. Highly recommend!”
“Danya was awesome! I left her with 4 cats, one was in surgical recovery. All of them are usually very nervous but not with Danya. Danya's updates were in great detail, well written and with endless pictures. She took the time to get to know my cats. Each one was described to the T. When I got home, my cats were as if I never left. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my cats as well as myself. I strongly recommend Danya.”
“Sydney is fantastic, responsible and excellent with my German shepherd. My dog loves her and looks forward to seeing her ! Great communication and reliability. Thank you Sydney - highly recommend”
“I am so happy we found Jahzara ! I am an anxious millennial and worry 24/7 about our cats. From the first moment she was the loveliest, kindest, and most understanding of our cats' individual personalities. I will absolutely ask her to take care of them again. Thank you for all you did”
“As a nervous pet-parent, I couldn’t be more blessed to have found Vanessa to look after my dog when I’m away. Her impressive experience and love of animals showed during our meet and greet and when she looked after our little guy. He adores her! I’ve already rebooked her for our next trip away and I’m reassured having her look after him.”

“We had a great experience with Rachita! She did drop-ins for our cat while we were away and she was caring to our kitty, responsible, and a great communicator. She was also super helpful and flexible when we asked her to do a couple other tasks for us. We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
“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.

“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.”
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!
About: I am a fear-free and patient sitter, also I am an active dog walker. I have experience working in a pet store, where they offer the pet hotel service. For both dogs and cats. Monday to Friday, day time are always available for me. So just let me know your plan, then I could adjust my schedule. Currently I am in a free job. Currently, I could only do sitter at your house, since I have two cats at my home, I could take the dog walk outside, and also do the care for the cats, for example, feeding, changing the water, and cleaning the toilet, and also playing with your loved ones.
About: My dog is a rescue. He suffers from pretty bad separation anxiety, so keeping him comfortable when he’s alone is quite tricky. Over the last 4 years with him, I’ve been managing this and have finally found some and routines and tricks that keep him calm and comfortable in our home while I’m away. I have had a dog my whole life. I understand the basics of care, and will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of, comfortable, and safe while you are away. I currently work from home 2 days out of the week and will be available to play with your pup through out the day - whether you bring them to me for a day of day care, or you need someone to go check on your dog at yours for a walk or a pee break! Additionally, I am available evenings and weekends for dog walking or babysitting. I live in a townhouse with my senior dog. He loves company. Once the excitement of “hello” passes he is very calm, and will love playing with a friend! I don’t have a backyard, so I will take the pups on frequent walks. If you need someone to drop by your place to walk or give pee breaks to your pet, I am more than willing to stay and play and follow any care instructions you provide.

They never leave the dogs outside too long in the summer and they are always supervised when outside, they have air conditioning, and are knowledgeable about this breed. I know I don't have to worry, my dog gets lots of positive attention and I highly recommend their services. My dog is always happy to arrive!”

Shehmeen B.
“Sheh the doggy mama. That's my name for her. Her love for animals is a well known thing in our circle but there is something special about the connection she has with dogs. They seem to become docile around her like one would with their mother. :) Even with street dogs, coming from Pakistan, we have seen atrocities on those poor animals our whole life. I have always been afraid of street dogs because they will bite, but Sheh has met them with nothing but love and kindness and such nurturing energy. I have seen her sit in middle of 4 street dogs getting cuddles from all. These poor babies don't know what love is and Sheh has all the love to give. Been a part of multiple rescues all over the world, I can testify that she will be the best dog walker you can ask for. Your dogs will be well taken care off and then some more 💙🌟”
Shona W.Star Sitter

Mathusan & Keishiya T.
“Mathusan took care of my 1 year old toy poodle so well that she was hesitant to come back home with me after 2 weeks. He is so kind and loving and catered to all her needs. Mathusan is very responsive and easy to get a hold of. He also followed all the care instructions. I was very happy his service and I will definitely hire him again.”
Collins & Breanna C.
“Cole and Brea has looked after my puppy tons of times reliably and she always enjoyed her stay! They are easy to reach and very friendly. I have never had a bad experience with them or their wonderful dog Suki and would recommend their services.”

Qian D.
“Qian is one of the most loving and responsible pet caregivers I know. She pays close attention to every little detail, whether it’s making sure pets are fed on time, taking them out for enough walks, or giving them lots of play and cuddles. Animals always seem relaxed and happy around her, which says so much about the comfort and trust she builds with them. If you’re looking for someone dependable who truly treats pets like family, I couldn’t recommend Qian enough!”
