We are so glad to have had Andrea looking after Sully. Although it was short notice, she still took time for a meet and greet. That was appreciated. Andrea came on time and had the dog outside right away. Sully had a walk with her and much play time. She is a lovely young lady whom we hope to see again.

Marie was amazing. She took great care of our kitty and provided regular updates. It really allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our kitty was in good hands. Marie stayed in our home for 10 days while we were away and I can highly recommend her to take care of your pet! Thank you Marie!

About: I have grown up with animals all my life from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians! Ever since I was a kid I have been obsessed with dogs and the amazing things they can be trained to do! I pride myself in my understanding on dogs body language and understanding how their minds work! I do currently work full time but I am looking to fill my free time with something I love and that’s spending time with animals! Well I can’t not provide day care or overnight in my home as I don’t live alone, I have a friendly fur baby of my own who loves meeting new friends on walks. I promise to respect your dogs daily routine and rules as I would expect someone watching my dog to do the same as to keep structure in your pets life well you are away as your absence can be stressful to your pet on its own.

We have never left our 2 boys with anyone before so leaving them for a week vacation next week was going to cause a little anxiety for us. We already felt very comfortable with Lauren after the meet and greet a few weeks ago but having her stay with them for a few hours while we went out yesterday really sealed the deal! Lauren is knowledgeable and confident and really put our minds at ease. The boys took to her right away, chilled on the couch with her, and allowed her to walk them, which I thought might have been an issue with our one timid boy but no...all went extremely well. She sent us text and pics throughout the evening which was great. We have no reservation leaving them in her care for next week's vacation and all our future ones as well. Thank you Lauren!!

Felipe did a wonderful job watching over our 9 week old puppy and our 1.5yr old dog. Felipe responded quickly to all messages and sent many photos of our pups throughout the sit. We will definitely hire him again to take care of our little guys.

I recommend Holly for house/pet sitting. She took such good care of our anxious dog, Buckwheat and our quiet, sweet Kitty! Seeing some photos everyday of the pets gave us assurance they were happy! Our home was just the way we left it - nice and clean! I especially appreciated that she came to meet us and our pets ahead of time!

Tata was great ! She sat my 8 lb puppy ( Chihuahua) and he was only 5 months old. Tata was extremely intuitive to Rico's needs and training. I was away for 7 days and she welcomed him into her home and made him feel comfortable. She kept in touch daily with video's and texts. I highly recommend her and would book her to watch Rico for any future extended trips I may take.

About: Hello! I have 1 dog and 2 cats so I have plenty of experience for caring for animals. I’ve always been an animal lover, I’ve had a lot of rodents in the past as well. Animals are a passion of mine and I’m currently in school to becoming a vet in the future. I have experience caring for pets by ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable in their environment. I'm attentive to their behavior and needs, and I prioritize their safety and well-being at all times. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to build trust with animals, even those who may be shy or anxious, especially with anxious dogs as my dog is one of them. I'm also reliable, and committed to following any specific care instructions provided by owners. I'm available basically everyday of the week as I currently don't have any other job. We can talk more about the details when we get in touch. As of right now I only care for pets in clients homes. I go on many walks throughout the day and play a lot with them. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention. I follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, and any special care. I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they are stress free. I ensure they are fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given lots of attention. I also keep the space clean and provide updates to the owner.

About: I have had a menagerie since highschool, 4 dogs two of which were rescues, 3 cats, a bearded dragon and a tortoise all under one roof. I miss them all dearly since I moved back down south so I’m looking to share the love again I am currently working part time and have little hours from my job, so my availability is wide open for the most part. I can probably look after pets at least 4 times per week Regardless of where I am, I respect both the space (if it is not my own) and the animal. I want absolute comfort for any animal I look after. They will get an abundance of attention and affection depending on their individual needs. Feeding on time, bathing if they get dirty, and looking after the home as a side thing.

Emma was great! Took care of our 2 bulldogs and 2 cats for a week while we were on vacation. Dogs loved her, she sent pictures and kept the house in order. Felt secure and safe with her watching over the house and dogs. This is our 2nd time using her, and she is worth every penny! ❤️ Thanks Emma 🙏🫶 Will definitely use ONLY her every time we have to go away. 💕

About: I grew up with two dogs when I was growing up and it helped to teach me with maintaining their routines, trying to reinforce positive behaviors, taking care of their medical needs and administering basic medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort early. I treat each pet like they are my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, along with updates so you always feel confident they’re in good hands. I strive to create a calm, consistent environment so dogs can thrive even while their owners are away. I'm currently working retail part time so I am flexible during the week and weekends. I usually have Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Can do weekends per request I can take care of your furbabies however you need if they require certain medications, feeding schedules, walking or litter cleaning schedules I am flexible to work around you and their needs.

About: I have over 4 years of experience caring for pets, including specialized training as a Certified Pet Groomer. This means I am highly skilled in animal handling, hygiene, and identifying early signs of health issues. I was mother of pets, so I understand the specific needs of small, high-maintenance breeds. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or calm, I know how to adapt my care to their personality. As a Master’s student, I spend the majority of my week studying from my home office, which means your pet will have constant companionship and a quiet, focused environment. My typical routine includes: Morning Walks: A long walk before my day starts to ensure your pet is relaxed and happy. Structured Breaks: I provide potty breaks and playtime every 2–4 hours throughout the day. Class Schedule: I have in-person classes on Mondays (11 am–1:30 pm) and Tuesdays (8 am–1 pm). Outside of these short windows, I am fully available for walks, feeding, and enrichment. Evenings & Weekends: My weekends are completely open, allowing for longer outings to local parks or extra grooming time. Because I limit my boarding to only two dogs and one cat, your pet will always be a priority in my daily schedule, never just one of the crowd! I believe a calm environment is the foundation of a happy pet. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is maintaining a high standard of safety and comfort. In My Home: Hazard-Free Zone: As an architect, I’ve designed my apartment to be a secure, open space. I ensure no small objects or dangerous plants are accessible. Hygiene First: With my grooming background, I maintain a very clean environment. I use my in-suite laundry to keep pet bedding fresh and sanitized. Constant Monitoring: Pets are never left unsupervised with others. I use baby gates or crates if a 'quiet break' is needed. In Your Home: Respect & Responsibility: I treat your home with the utmost care. I follow all house rules regarding furniture and restricted areas. Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s existing feeding and walk schedule to minimize any stress while you are away. Security: I am meticulous about locking doors and ensuring your home remains exactly as you left it. The Trust Factor: I am a firm believer in the 'Meet & Greet.' I want to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure we are a perfect match and to discuss any specific medical or behavioral needs.

We hired Kiara to sit our 2 dogs over a long weekend. As soon as I met her, I knew she was the perfect person for the job. Kiara immediately showered my dogs with sincere kindness and attention and they loved her back right from that very first moment. It was obvious she genuinely loves dogs. She listened carefully to my care instructions and asked appropriate questions about our pets as well as our home. While we were away, she kept us updated with short videos and photos and reached out to us whenever she needed clarification. She was prompt to reply to any of my inquiries as well. We felt very comfortable with Kiara looking after our dogs in our home. After our trip, we arrived to 2 happy dogs and our house being just as clean and tidy as we left it. In all, I would highly recommend Kiara to care for anyone’s dogs. She is trustworthy, kind and truly caring.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. The dogs I watch, walk, and visit, become my family. I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs that have anxiety about thunder and fireworks, and dogs that have medical regimes. I am attuned to the need for dogs to be engaged through walks, play, and games, while also enjoying their rest. I am Pet First Aid Certified through St. John's Ambulance, with hands on training in dog CPR and other treatments. I look forward to introducing myself and meeting you and your dog(s) during a free meet and greet. My work allows for a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can be available for all of your pet care needs, regardless of timing. My elderly puppies need a predictable environment, so I prefer to stay at your home when caring for your pet(s). I will review your expectations regarding your home, the yard, and the immediate neighbourhood during our free meet and greet. I also offer additional services inside or outside of your home, if you are interested.

Another great time with Andrea! She understands all of my dog's little quirks as a herding dog. That helps me to be relaxed when I leave. I appreciate that he gets a lot of play time with her dog and is ready to sleep when we get home!
