Tara and Jason took such great care of our precious Ollie. I felt so comfortable knowing he was being taken care of by such a loving and caring home. We got lots of photos and updates, I would highly recommend and will be rebooking!

Leo had a great time staying with Ben! Ben was able to accommodate us last minute and was super responsive to all messages. Sent lots of photos, and had Leo out for daily walks in the park and around town!

I can not recommend Shawna and her family enough! They are great communicators, very attentive and give so much love to my little pup! Zettie is always excited to see them, and I am at ease knowing she’s in such great hands 🥹

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Claire as our dog sitter! She took care of our dog, Renly, for two weeks and went above and beyond in every way. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves dogs. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates and photos of Renly having the best time playing, relaxing, and looking completely at home on her lap. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We joked that Renly might not want to come home! It’s was such a relief to know we had someone we can trust completely with him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Emily and her family truly have a passion for dogs and it shows. We felt comfortable with Emily from the start and could tell she puts a lot of time and consideration in her care and her communications. Will be booking with Emily again as it was such a gift knowing our Chico was in such great hands.

Ryan was excellent. He took such good care of Enzo (our slightly reactive shepherd/aussie mix.) We would absolutely recommend and rebook Ryan! Amie

Mark, Evangeline and their family couldn't have done more to take care of our little dog. Their communication was wonderful and our dog was very happy in their care. I would highly recommend this family to look after your pet!

Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services

Adrienne took great care of our young lab. She took him for runs in the park and the beach where he could blow off some of his energy. Adrienne also kept me updated with pictures and videos. Thank you Adrienne for taking care of Jax during our stay in Sydney.

About: I've done pet sitting for dogs and cats of family and friends. I've also owned 3 dogs and 2 cats in my lifetime. I do not currently have any pets in the house full time. I currently work full time in Dartmouth until 330pm but I am free most weekends and weekdays after 4pm. I will normally be away from my house during the week for 10+ hours I have a house with a large unfenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood. I do not currently have any pets in the house full time.

Louie was the best sitter for my dog while I was away for work , Vasu stayed with louie for 3 days , he’s a little hard to handle boi , but I appreciate her patience and love for him, while trying to make every possible accommodation to suit Vasu’s needs . She did send us regular updates and was very responsive.

About: Lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my Australian Shepherd, Pepper 🐾 My home is calm, cozy, and very dog-friendly. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—no long hours alone. I’m experienced with daily routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for puppies (with all the patience and consistency they need!) as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler, more relaxed approach. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers to cuddle and relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets lots of attention and keep a consistent routine. I’m home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I’m in the office, but I’m located very close to home and can easily come back for check-ins, walks, and care as needed. Overall, I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and never left alone for long. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the main floor, which means quick and easy access to the outdoors for bathroom breaks and walks—no long waits or elevators needed. We’re also located near great off-leash parks and walking areas, perfect for getting in lots of exercise and fresh air (always based on your comfort level and your dog’s needs). Inside, my home is clean, calm, and set up to be a safe, cozy environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, responsible, and always mindful of each dog’s routine, safety, and well-being.

Leaving our dog Harper is never easy, but this experience made it completely stress-free. From the very beginning, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive Marisa was. She went above and beyond to make sure Harper felt safe, happy, and loved, treating her like one of her own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Harper was having a wonderful time, and I could truly relax knowing she was in such capable hands. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Marisa’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thank you for making what is usually a difficult goodbye such an easy and reassuring experience—I will absolutely be booking with you again!

Kate was so easy to work with. She boarded our dog for a weekend and we were thrilled with her. She asked questions when they arose and made sure to follow our instructions and schedules . She kept me up to date with text messages and photos. Overall, very happy with Kate and would definitely book again.
