We have booked Philippe several times, last year and this year and every time he took exceptional care of our fur baby Nuri! He took the time to play with her and she was always happy and fed after each visit. Would definitely recommend to book again and again!

About: I've always had dogs around me since I was a baby. My mom taught me to love animals. I think all creature need to be loved and I'm good at taking care and loving them. I have a beautiful and happy pooch who enjoys to have company. I've taken care of my friend's dog and neighbors's. We will watch over your 🐶 with love, plays, walks, cuddling and food. Your dog will follow our routine with 3 to 4 walks a day. I usually work 4 days a week during 7 hours but I'll have some flexibility when having your dog over. I have a fenced and small patio in our ground floor unit. In addition, we get to enjoy a beautiful court yard in my building. Your fur pup is allowed to go on the furniture and bed.

Josh dropped in on my cat for one week. He did a great job with feeding and cleaning up after a couple of messes. I found Josh to be very responsible and responsive to messages, between and during his visits. I will definitely consider bringing Josh in the next time I'm away.

About: I have 8 years of pet care experience and I’m also the mom of a lovely 5-year-old toy poodle. Caring for my own dog every day has taught me how important patience, consistency, safety, and affection are in a pet’s routine. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and understanding different dog personalities. I know every pet has their own comfort level, so I always take time to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved! I am currently working from home 3 days a week on weekdays and free on weekends as well. Caring for your fur baby fit naturally into my routine because caring for my own toy poodle is already part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and giving pets the attention they need. I will make sure each booking has enough time for proper care, play, walks, and as many updates as you prefer!:) I have a sweet 5-year-old toy poodle who can keep your pet company. She is spayed, gentle, and loves making furry friends. I will always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind:)!

About: 💁‍♀️ Drop-in Visits • Dog Walking • Doggy Day Care • Overnight Sitting 🐱🐶 I’ve grown up with dogs and have 15+ years of experience caring for pets from many different families. I truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs—from relaxed companionship at home to fun, safe walks outdoors 🦮 I work from home, so pets receive plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections and have experience with raw feeding, always following owner instructions carefully. I have a 8-year-old cat and an 4-year-old Cavapoo, both friendly and fully vaccinated 🐈🐕 🏡 Home & Outdoor Space • Pee pads always available • 5 pet-friendly sky gardens • Nearby parks, trails, and occasional dog park visits (with owner approval) 🐾 Health & Safety Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and parasite prevention. Please share any medical conditions, skin issues, or special care needs in advance. 🚫 Note As I live in an apartment, I’m unable to accept pets that bark excessively or continuously. This helps maintain a calm and comfortable environment for all pets. 🗣 Languages I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, making communication easy and clear. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.🐾 🐾I work from home and pet care fits into my daily routine with morning and evening feeding, walks, and playtime sessions to ensure my pets stay active and healthy. I also include midday check-ins and short play breaks for mental stimulation. Weekly, I set aside time for thorough grooming, deep cleaning pet areas, and conducting health checks. Additionally, I plan special activities like outings or playdates to keep my pets socially engaged and happy. 😊 🏠 In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces, removing hazardous items, and providing secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest. I maintain trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement during training and play. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions, maintain open communication, and treat their pets with the same care and respect as my own. I also ensure a clean and stress-free environment by cleaning up after activities and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and their favorite toys. Additionally, I have a well-trained, calm, and healthy dog and cat, which further contributes to a harmonious and reassuring environment for all pets.

Kayan is a perfect furry friend. She went above and beyond my expectation in every way. She was incredibly caring and attentive, and it was clear that she truly loves animals. Our cats seemed very comfortable and happy in her care. I needed to extend the booking on very short notice, she immediately accommodated us without hesitation, which meant so much during a stressful time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate cat sitter!

I can't say enough good things about Aliya! I made the best decision using her for my pet sitting needs, and also she is so sweet and amazing to talk to! She took excellent care of my Canary Darween. (Darween is a bird) Attention to detail, really good communication, and so friendly. This is the first time I went away and did not have anxiety and stress as I knew he was in good hands. I will be using her again for any services that I need, as long as she is still available :) Also recommending to all my friends that live near. Thank you again ❤️
