“Huge thank you to Nicole for taking such amazing care of Rupert. She was communicative with photos and videos every day, and just treated Rupert like he was her own. When I picked him up he was happy, calm, well fed and TBH I think he would have been perfectly happy for me to turn around and leave him for another week! This is the first time I’ve left Rupert for more than an overnight and I couldn’t be more grateful to Nicole for letting me get away and unwind on Vacation!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend Mimi! Mimi was a lifesaver! We needed a last-minute sitter while visiting Vancouver, and she went above and beyond—picking up our pup Bruno right from our hotel and dropping him off after. We were able to enjoy a stress-free dinner knowing he was in good hands. He came back happy, walked, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, kind sitter in downtown Vancouver, Mimi is the one! 💯🐾”
“Ashley and Kelvin are awesome! It was my pup’s first time boarding and she’s normally quite shy around new humans so I was quite worried, but she warmed up to A & K right away! Ashley sent so many pics & videos throughout my pup’s stay, and took her out for her favorite ball activities despite the winter rain & cold — thank you Ashley & Kelvin for taking such good care of Hana so that we could have a stress free trip! Also their pup Charlee is the sweetest!! :)”
“Our dog, Moose, loves staying with Si because he takes very good care of him. He gets lots of play, walks, and attention when he looks after Moose for us. Always a pleasure working with him!”
“As always Delaney ensured Enzo's days were filled with a good balance of exercise and rest. He loves going to stay with Delaney and Matt. Thank you for taking such good care of Enzo!”
“Thanks so much to Joanne, Glen and their daughter for taking such great care of Saint! I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Lucky to have found them and would recommend to anyone.”
“She took such great care of Shushu during my 3-day trip! Very attentive and thoughtful, and kept us updated with photos. Would definitely love to ask for her help again”
“Rui went above and beyond to care for George. Our flight was cancelled and delayed several times, but she kind enough to accommodate George for an extra day. She sent frequent updates and photos of George while we were away, reassuring us that he was doing well and was in good hands. We highly recommend Rui for anyone looking for an attentive and caring dog sitter.”
“Maye and Frank truly made this experience so amazing. This was my first time living my dog with anyone besides family. I was blown away how comfortable my dog was the first time he meet them. The communication and pictures from Maye and Frank was above anything I was expecting and made our trip so enjoyable knowing our boy was in such good care. The would let us know what he did through out the day. Any dog parent that has any fears of leaving there for baby needs to not worry and just book with them. Can’t wait to see you guys again and have Bernie visit real soon. Thank you again Maye and Frank.”
“Valentina was great with my little dog, Puma. She kept me updated and sent photos throughout the day to show what Puma was up to. He can be quite shy but I know he enjoyed his time with Valentina.”
“Christy was great! Easy to communicate with, and we had no issues while we were away. Would definitely leave our dog with her again in the future.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Trudy provided for our cat while we were away. From the moment we met her, it was evident that she truly loves animals. Trudy's attention to detail and genuine affection for our furry friend put us at ease. Trudy not only ensured that our cat was well-fed and had a clean litter box, but she went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt loved and entertained. She spent a lot of time petting and playing with our cat, and it was clear from the regular updates and photos she sent us. One of the things we appreciated most was Trudy's excellent communication. She kept us updated daily with detailed messages about how our cat was doing, what it was eating, and even how its bathroom habits were. We loved receiving the photos and videos Trudy sent us; it was so reassuring to see our cat happy and relaxed in her care. Trudy's responsibility and patience were evident in every interaction we had with her. We felt completely confident leaving our cat in her care, knowing that she was in good hands. We highly recommend Trudy to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter. She's simply the best!”

“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Lily! They took amazing care of our two dogs, Bei Bei and Mei Mei, during their recent boarding stay. It’s clear that Lily has a genuine passion for dogs — right from the start, we could feel how much love and attention they give to every pet they look after. Throughout the entire stay, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and even short videos of Bei Bei and Mei Mei having fun, relaxing, and being well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. They looked so happy and comfortable! We truly appreciate the extra effort and care. Thank you for treating our dogs like your own — we’re so lucky to have found you, and we’ll definitely be coming back next time we need a sitter!”

The best dog sitter in the WORLD !!! Ben is so lucky to have them as his “new parents”🥰🥹 They have taken care of him so well and I’m glad they’ve made a very comfortable home for him. So thank you guys so much ❤️❤️❤️
Cheshta and Abhishek were wonderful - they came to meet our dog Tink beforehand and got to know everything about her. Tink was super happy during the stay at their home and was well taken care of. Will definitely hire their services again in the future.
I was fortunate to have Helena look after my puppy for a day. She was caring, attentive, and showed a lot of affection toward Dior. She’s great with dogs and even helped teach my puppy some good behavior. She also kept me updated by sending texts and photos every two hours, which I really appreciated. I’m very pleased with the care she provided and will definitely return to her in the future.
Jim responded very quickly when we first reached out. She sent photos of our wee Charlie and took her on adventures each day. Charlie was happy and calm (and tired!) when we picked her up. I would highly recommend Jin.
Such a lovely, loving home away from home for our little Bandit. The photos were a reassuring touch as well. Maye and Frank you are such blessings!
I am so grateful to had have Siyu care for our 7 month old puppy for one week. It was our first time boarding her and although we were anxious at first, Siyu sent us many photos and videos every day and I felt so comforted knowing our puppy was in great care. Siyu went above and beyond our expectations. It was a bonus to have her incredibly friendly dog, Oscar keep our puppy company! ❤️ thank you Siyu!
Our little Kismat had the best time with Sara! All day we recieved pictures and videos of what Kismat was up to which made us miss her a little bit less! Sara was great to deal with from the beginning to our pickup of our dog! Would definitely recommend Sara and look forward to using her services again!
Si Yu is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs. This is the first time for Lego (3 years old) boarding. Highly recommend him and we will have another boarding in August!
Karen is amazing. So sweet to our dog Luna, great communication, and lots of updates along the way. She’s a treasure!
Lani and Barry and their family are great people and treated our pup with love and care as we would expect him to be. They have a nice home, good sized yard, and our Max loved playing with their Cali! We will definitely be using their services in the future.
Brittaney and Tommy took care of our dog for 4 days, while we were away. They were kind, responsible, and kept us updated with photos. Our dog was well taken care of and seemed really happy when we returned. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely use their services again!
I left my dog (an Amstaff) with Derek for a week, and I couldn’t be more grateful! He took such great care of her — spending time together, going for walks, playing, and making sure she felt comfortable and safe the whole time. He also sent me regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. Highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter. Thank you so much for your help! 🐾
Jose and Lina watched our dog Maya for over a week and they were great. They took the time to go for a walk with us a couple weeks before so that Maya would get comfortable with them, which we really appreciated. Maya can sometimes be a bit unsure of new people when she's in a new environment, but they were very understanding about it. They also sent us detailed daily updates with pictures. When we picked her up Maya was happy and relaxed, and seemed to even miss them for a couple of days. We definitely recommend them.
Took great care of my older dog and made him feel at home with her very kind small white dog. Highly recommend couldn't be more grateful.
Joanne and Glenn had our dog Puffin for 2 and a half weeks while we were out of town. They provided the best care for Puffin - bringing him for regular walks, runs around the garden and playtime with their lovely dog Lily. We 100% recommend Joanne and Glenn for all pet services, they went above and beyond during Puffin’s stay and we can’t thank them enough!
Ashley and his husband are definitely a dynamic duo when it comes taking care of our pup. Tofu warmed up so quickly to them. And they’re just very kind both to humans and to animals. And their dog, Koda is Tofu’s BFF❤️ Such a kind dog as well. And their cat is also very kind. Will definitely book again! 10/10
Vanessa was very professional, kind and polite, great communication and support, will definitely use her service again
Warshi was a wonderful dog sitter for my small dog, Buggy. She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated regularly, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Buggy felt right at home and clearly enjoyed his time with her—he had a great time playing in the backyard and came back happy and relaxed. I really appreciate the care and attention Warshi gave him. I would absolutely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future!
