“Mike looked after my cat Whiskey for a week. Every day I would receive photos and a small write up of his time with whiskey. By the sound of it the two of them had a blast together. He really put in the time to make sure that whiskey was well taken care of. I highly recommend having your pets taken care of by Mike.”
“Carrie-Lynn looked after our 3 cats while we were away in Europe for 3 weeks. She did an amazing job with our fur-babies!! Even our "Nova" who doesn't like most people-- very much liked her. :) She sent updates and photos everyday and cleaned up any cat mess. I'll be using Carrie-Lynn as a sitter again soon, highly recommended-- 5 stars!!”
About: I was raised around dogs and cats my entire life, all of them are and will always be family. During those happy moments with beloved pets, or during sick days and emergencies, taking care of our furry friends and family has always been a huge and important part of my life. Be it a puppy, a kitten, or an older buddy/lady, being able to pay attention to the little details to make sure that they are comfortable and well taken care of is something that I value and take into account always. We have a big house for your furry friend to have plenty of space to play and lounge. Ask me about the different pets I have had and taken care of, I'll go off rambling :) I currently work from home and have a lot of downtime during the day. We live in a big house with plenty of space for your pet to explore and have fun. On top of that we have a wonderful yard where your dog can play with my dog and become friends! For boarding services, our house is very clean and cozy and we can provide a comfortable bed for even the largest dog, as well as toys and fun stuff! Wether you prefer for your dog to have individual walks, or with other dogs at the same time can be arranged. There is a dedicated grooming room where I would be able to provide baths and even some simple hair trimming. For dog walks and house visits, all the same applies, I enjoy just making sure that our furry friends are happy and well taken care of, so you can rest assured that your pet will be in good hands.
About: I've cared for and owned a variety of dogs throughout my life. I currently own a 2 year old lab mix that I rescued. I am comfortable caring for animals of various sizes as I've owned and worked with horses. I care for my dog daily, spending time with her is a big part of my day. I have flexible availability to provide animal care. Willing to learn your routine to provide the best care for your furry friend. I believe pets deserve to feel safe and comfortable while being entertained and cared for.

Eduardo S.
“Eddie is the best pet parent you will find out there. He was a loving dad of a border collie for 12 years whom he recently had to say goodbye to. He will love and care for your pets as if they were his own and give them the love and attention they need. He has looked after my dog, Chester, many times and spoiled him with hour long belly scratches. Highly recommend him to look after your fur babies!”
Katherine M.
“I have known Katherine for about 20 years now, and in that time I've had many opportunities to see her interact with dogs of various ages, breeds, and temperaments. Her calm yet confident demeanour always seems to put dogs at ease, and she has an innate ability to match her energy to each individual case. She is extremely attentive and observant, has a keen eye for detail, and can easily detect changes in a dog's normal routine or behaviour. She has experience administering medication, handling strict or particular feeding schedules, as well as performing various grooming tasks like bathing, brushing, and nail trimming. She has very successfully trained and raised dogs of her own and has experience caring for other people's animals as well. Katherine is professional, compassionate, trustworthy, experienced, and reliable. She is a genuine dog-lover, and from everything I've seen, they love her as well. I feel more than comfortable having her care for my dogs, and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
