“Dan is great! My dogs loved him and were so excited when he came to watch them. He took great care of them and cleaned up after them nicely, too. I felt so at ease with my dogs in his care. I'd book him again in a heartbeat!”


“Lianne did a great job as always. She even welcomed our new family member who is a handful and has special needs. We’re never worried about our pets when Lianne is here 😊”


“We had the absolute pleasure of having Melody look after our two dogs, Harley and Coco, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. Throughout their stay, Melody sent me multiple updates and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Harley and Coco felt completely comfortable and happy with her — they were genuinely at ease and well taken care of. I could tell they were loved just as if they were her own pets. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


“This was the first time we ever left out two golden retrievers with anyone. James was great. He gave us updates and sent a photo of them playing. We had no stress at all. I definitely recommend him.”


“Lesa was a wonderful sitter for Holly! She boarded for a week while we were on holiday. She took care to get to know Holly and sent us daily updates. She was a super sitter and we knew Holly was happy and in good hands. Holly came home a happy happy girl!! Thank you so much Lesa for taking great care of our girl.”


“First time using Rover and I was so pleased with the experience. Jazmin made this so incredibly easy. Our dog absolutely loved her! I would highly recommend Jazmin and will be requesting her again.”


About: I have taken care of many dogs since an early age, from german shepherds to doberman’s to golden doodles.. you name it! i currently have a 4 month old golden doodle named angel. I currently work mornings/afternoons on weekdays and have a few classes for school in the afternoons as well. but i am always available all day thursdays, and all day on weekends. weekdays i am available in the evenings i take angel out in my front yard as she is trained to come back into the house with me! i walk her on leash on streets and no leash on certain trails

About: I love all animals and practice a dedicated vegan lifestyle for the past 11 years. I have owned two dogs, one cat, two rabbits in my lifetime. Currently, in my home I have one free roaming bunny that doesn't mind sharing the home with another furry friend. I enjoy being outdoors and being active, so your pet will be well exercised if they like that. I work from home and can be with your pet all day. I also love cats and your cat will have sunny spots to lounge in the home. I will only board one animal at a time, so there will be no sharing of attention or spaces with other animals (except our house bunny). I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home five days a week. If needed, I can crate your pup if I step out, or at bedtime if that's the routine they follow I have a fenced yard for dogs that love to play outdoors, and when they need to go potty. I will pick up their business when outdoors whether in the bush or on a trail walk. I have a multi-level home with stairs and if your pup doesn't like stairs I can carry them to the level I am on, so they always feel like they are part of the action. they will still be a part of the livelihood of my home. My home is well kept with no dangerous chemicals, and is a meat-free home as well (so no raw meat for dinner please).

“Cassandra was an awesome sitter for our 3 pups! We had to head out of town at the last minute and we were very thankful she was available. She sent us lots of photos and updates. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Thanks Cassandra!”


About: Friendly person who will take care of your dogs as my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life, trained them and loved them and took care of them. With my flexible hours my dog is only at home alone for a maximum time of 4-5hrs. I will walk them and play with them outside while they are under my woof. I currently work full time but have different schedules so it makes it easier for the dogs not to be alone for extended periods of time. I have a partially fenced back yard with ample amount of room to run around and play while under close supervision. I have one 3 year old dog (Axle), who always wants to meet new friends.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Although I don’t have my own pet I have a lot of experience with those around me. My intention is to give them whatever they need and love them while their owner is away. My schedule is flexible and changes week to week but I am available during the day, evenings and weekends. Overnights are preferably done at your place currently however I am open depending on the situation. When dog sitting in a clients home, I like to keep their schedule as familiar as possible. Care varies from dog to dog. This is why I like to do a meet and greet with the owner and pup before committing. Personally, I like to take the pets I’m sitting for a lot of walks and make sure they get a lot of love and attention. I understand how precious pets are to their owners and they deserve the best of care.

“Claudia was the very best to our dog, cat and fish while we were away!! She not only made our pets feel loved but took great care of our home, coming home to a tidy house and happy pets was just what we needed! Claudia made sure to meet with us before we left. I wrote out instructions for care and she followed them to a T! 100% will have Claudio watch out pets in the future!”
