“Connie once again was a great, reliable, and responsive sitter for our corgi, Kuma. She shared plenty of updates during his short stay and was very accommodating towards our fluctuating pick-up time range. We really appreciate it, thank you x100! 💖”
“Anmol & Abhinav are such amazing hosts that I could not be happier leaving my guy with them! They showed him so much love and care and kept me updated throughout my dog's stay! I would definitely recommend them and will be leaving my guy with them in the future. 🙏🏽”
“I cannot recommend Sara highly enough for dog sitting! She took care of my 6-month-old puppy, Lady, with such love and attention. From the moment we met, I could tell Sara was a true animal lover. She made Lady feel comfortable and at ease, which was especially important for such a young dog. Throughout the entire time, Sara kept me updated with adorable photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Lady came back home happy, healthy, and exhausted from her stay! Sara's dedication and care are unparalleled. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Sara is the perfect choice. Lady and I are so grateful for her wonderful care and can’t wait to book her again! Thank you, Sara, for being such an amazing sitter!”
“We had an amazing experience with Ashley and Kelvin for our dog Bentley. They sent loads of photos and updated us regularly. I’ve already booked his next stay with them 🥰”
“We’ve used Mandy and Jackie before, and after coming back to them recently, I’m reminded why we trust them so much with Kobe. They are incredibly caring and treat him like one of their own. Kobe was so excited to see them again, which says a lot! They always make sure he’s clean after his walks, well looked after, and happy. Last week I accidentally forgot to pack his treats, and they graciously provided some of their own and made sure he had water as well. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such kind and attentive hands. We’re so thankful for Mandy and Jackie and highly recommend them to anyone looking for wonderful, trustworthy dog sitters.”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! Your kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. The updates and care you provided meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate your dedication and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for treating my dog like your own!”
“Natasha was a great Bobby-sitter! Her love for dogs is very apparent and she was very caring and understanding about Bobby's needs. Very easy communication and the flexibility of having a later pick up time was much appreciated. She also sent us home with a little gift so that Bobby can remember his stay :) Will definitely book with Natasha again and would highly recommend!”
“Héctor was so great and did an amazing job looking after Salgu. Great communication and kept me updated with photos throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much Héctor! :D”
“Gini took great care of Oslo, for the day, and I couldn’t be happier with her help. Oslo instantly warmed up to her, and she kept me updated with pictures and messages on their day, which was a really nice touch. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, a sure sign that he had a fantastic time. He didn’t want to leave! Gini is clearly experienced with dogs, attentive, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have cared for my own pets for many years, as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I started traveling in 2022, my lifestyle has not allowed me to have a pet of my own, so caring for other people’s pets has become a meaningful way to keep that connection in my life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every pet feel happy and well cared for. I work 100% from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. Because of this, pets are rarely left alone and can receive plenty of supervision, companionship, playtime, and affection as part of my daily routine. For boarding, I offer flexible check-in and check-out times whenever possible. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. Daily walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks are included depending on each pet’s routine and needs. For house visits, I can provide up to two 1-hour visits per day. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in mail while you are away. For house sitting, I take both pet care and home care very seriously. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure pets maintain their normal routines to help them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medication when clear instructions are provided. Before caring for any pet, I always like to learn about their personality, routine, preferences, energy level, health needs, and any special quirks or triggers. I believe understanding each pet individually is the best way to provide loving, responsible, and stress-free care. I believe every pet is unique, so the care I provide always depends on each dog’s individual needs, personality, routine, and the specific instructions given by their owner. I take the time to understand their habits, energy level, preferences, feeding schedule, and any special care requirements to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment both in my home and in my client’s home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also live near a large park where dogs can enjoy walks, explore, play, and safely use their energy while having a fun and enriching time outdoors. Whether a dog is very active or prefers a slower pace, I always adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible and attentive hands.
“Bella is an amazing sitter! She kept me updated the whole time and spoiled Ori with treats. Ori completely adores her, and it's so obvious she has a real love for pets. We'll definitely be back!”
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.

We had a great experience with Sinsi! She was super friendly, responsive and sent us lots of photo/video updates of Buster throughout the time she watched him. She was also very considerate of his needs as a 6 month old puppy who is still adjusting to new environments and people. Would highly recommend her!
Sheena is a very responsible dog sitter. She started by asking detailed questions about May’s habits and routine. She was also very flexible — with very short notice, she was able to take care of May. She took May for a walk right away to help ease her separation anxiety, let her sit on the couch, and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. We would happily book with Sheena again.
Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! Your kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. The updates and care you provided meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate your dedication and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for treating my dog like your own!
Kateryna was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Helios. On the day of the handoff, everything that could go wrong went wrong on my end — delays with friends, a frozen car, and unexpected complications — which almost caused Kateryna and her husband to miss their Valentine’s Day dinner plans. Despite this, Kateryna was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible. We worked together to find alternative ways to complete the handoff, and both she and her husband were genuinely helpful and understanding throughout the process. Helios is still a puppy, and not everyone can make him feel safe right away. What really stood out to me was how calm and comfortable he was the moment he entered their home. He settled in immediately and began interacting with Kateryna on his own, which speaks volumes about her gentle energy and natural connection with dogs. I’m deeply grateful for her care, warmth, and understanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kateryna to anyone looking for a sitter who is not only responsible, but truly kind and trustworthy.
We absolutely love Erika and couldn’t be happier that we found her! She is incredibly kind, gentle, and accommodating, and it’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Sylvie was very comfortable with her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages. It was obvious Sylvie was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We also love that Sylvie gets to socialize and play with her two dogs, which was such a bonus. Erika goes above and beyond, and we truly trust her with Sylvie. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶💛
I had an amazing experience with Beatrice. From the moment we met, it was clear how much care and attention she put into looking after my furbaby. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was at work. Salgu was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I feel very lucky to have found Beatrice. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care! :)
This is our second time using Siyu’s doggy daycare service, and we’re definitely going to be returning clients from now on. She sent updates and photos/videos throughout the day. My two dogs love Siyu and her dog Oscar. My anxious mama’s boy, Barkley, didn’t even look back once when I handed his leash to Siyu 😂 From that alone, I know Barkley feels safe and well cared for with Siyu and her smart boy Oscar. A few minutes later, I even got an update that Barkley was flying around the house out of excitement, which was the cherry on top. We can’t thank Siyu enough - as dog parents, we know how guilty and concerned we feel leaving our dogs all day while we work. But thanks to Siyu, we don’t have to feel nearly as guilty anymore, knowing our pups are safe, happy, and cared for. We definitely recommend Siyu :)
