“This is our 4th time booking with Sophia, and she was amazing as always!! Our flight got cancelled and rebooked for 2 days later and she was extremely flexible and accommodating. It was a huge relief in a stressful situation to have her be there for us and our cat, Ziggy. She sent us constant updates, pictures and was responsive with any questions we had. We always come back to our place looking better than when we left it, and most importantly, with Ziggy happy and healthy 😸 We genuinely could not ask for anything else!”

“Solana took care of my 15 year old cat for 2 weeks while staying in our home. Milo requires medication and close monitoring. Solana did an amazing job of making sure he is well taken care of. She played with him often and was sending me regular updates with photos and videos. I am so happy to have found her and would definitely use her services again!!!”

About: My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have attended various canine behavior and training workshops, and I am certified in Canine First Aid. I'm available on boarding all week-end. All my time is for your dog, to play with, walk, and take care of it. I can provide the necessary attention, care, and patience to any dog of any age or with any difficulty. The house is big enough to comfortably accommodate your dog and the back yard is safe. I am with your dog all the time so I can keep an eye on him. I am also first aid certified so if anything happens I can help immediately.
About: I love all types of animals. I know how to train little puppies and I’m pretty sure I did a great job in training my own fur baby! I will make sure to keep them busy and active. I am fully experienced in administering medications for both dogs and cats. Always on top of cleaning their food and water bowl and providing fresh water and make sure they have full and easy access to food and water at all times. Fully experienced with bathing small dogs. Comfortable taking dogs for a walk. Also, my favourite activities are puppy yoga, cat yoga, goat yoga and visiting animal farms and sanctuaries. At the moment, I have a full time job. I am free after 6:00PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I love to spend my free times with animals. Caring for pets in my house or a client’s house involves various tasks such as feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, and cleaning up after them. Additionally, offering companionship and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness is essential. It is very important to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding their routines, dietary needs, medications, and any special requirements. Regular communication with the owner about the pet’s behavior and any concerns is also important for maintaining trust and ensuring the best care possible.
About: Although I’ve never had my own dog, I’ve taken care of my friends’ pets many times. They would happily give a reference (the dogs) lol. I’m currently working part time and soon I will be quitting my job so I can have more free time to enjoy my summer before starting dental school in the fall. That said, I would very much enjoy a nice walk in the warm weather with a little friend to enjoy it with. I can easily accommodate to any dog’s need, allowing them to be free in the comfort of their own home or in designated areas that their owners allow them to be ;)
“Tatiana watched our dog Sadie for a full day in our home. We appreciated all of the updates and photos she provided throughout the day and it was clear Sadie really liked her too!”

“David stayed in our house and took care of our dog Bumba for 7 days while we were away. He demonstrated to be very responsible and caring. He followed all the instructions we gave for Bumba’s care, and provided detailed updates and photos every day. Bumba is a senior dog with especial needs and David really understood that and made us feel at ease during our trip. He not only took care of Bumba but also of our house. We will definitely work with him again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since age 9. From small ones such as birds and fish to cats and dogs. I currently own a Bengal cat, but have previously owned a cocker spaniel, Doberman, and pitbull. I have also dealt with animals that have separation anxiety. I currently work for myself so I am able to create my own schedule. I currently have a lot of free time during weekdays and some evenings. I don’t offer pet stays at my place. However, if I am in your home, just let me know the house rules and we’re good to go! :)
“Mary’s the best! She was incredible with our crazy 18 month old boxer. She made us feel so comfortable, wanting to understand our dogs routine perfectly and provided constant updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience 😊”

About: I have always loved being around animals, and enjoying caring and playing with them. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks. Whether it is walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am very patient with pets who might be a bit shy, and I love taking the time to build a genuine bond with them. I am also highly detail-oriented and reliable, so I never let bad weather stop me from making sure your pet gets their exercise. I know how much you miss your furry family members when you are away. I am happy to send lots of thorough updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease. I am so grateful to have repeat clients who trust me with their pets, and I would love the chance to meet you and your furry family members too! I am a full-time professional who works from home and a part-time pet care provider. I am available on weekdays before 9 am or after 6 pm and flexible on weekends. I can also do short walks or drop-in visits around 12 pm to 1:30 pm during my lunch break on weekdays. I provide pet care exclusively at your home or outdoors, and my approach may vary based on the service you require. Please reach out with your requirements.
About: I have a beautiful, five year-old Jack, Russell and golden lab mix whom I love with all my heart but while I’m doing school, I am away from her so I’m happy to provide all the love and attention to your pets I would to my baby! I work a part time job but it can absolutely be worked around with proper notice! I am willing to do one time or regular walks. I have a fenced backyard as well as a nearby dog park and family park to make sure your pet is stimulated and tired from a day of fun and play!
About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I provide loving attention, daily walks, and personalized care for dogs and cats. I ensure they stay happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. The pet care schedule includes feeding, daily walks, playtime, and rest. It should be adjusted based on the pet’s needs, and it should include regular grooming and vet check-ups. I ensure a safe and comfortable environment by pet-proofing the space, providing proper supervision, and creating a routine tailored to each pet’s needs. I prioritize trust, cleanliness, and safety in my home or a client's.
“Michelle was wonderful with our senior dog who has separation anxiety. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and was very understanding of his issues. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”

“I'm so glad I found Ann on this website. She's a very kind and friendly girl! My dog was happy with her; she found the right approach for him. I was very pleased that she took the time to send me updates with photos. Everything went very smoothly and without stress for my dog😍🥰”

“Sydney did a fantastic job watching our cat. He gets nervous going new places so I am so grateful that she could stay with him. She was extremely flexible, as I had changes to my schedule several times and very caring and professional. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Best dog sitter ever, like Mary Poppins for dogs! Annette was absolutely amazing with Maddy and Louie. She didn’t just watch them, she truly cared for them, played with them, and made them feel safe and loved. She sent regular photo updates, which made me feel so reassured while I was away. Most importantly, the dogs actually missed her when she left! I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is a decade of hands-on experience with the SPCA, handling dogs at their most vulnerable stages. I specialize in the full spectrum of canine care: from the delicate, round-the-clock needs of 5-day-old neonatal puppies to the gentle, attentive pacing required for 10+ year-old senior dogs. Whether your pet needs active puppy guidance or patient geriatric care, I have the professional background to keep them safe and happy. I'm working part-time, so I have time to take care of your pets. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends except Wednesdays and Thursdays. I keep my dog at home and walk him every day. I always prepare sufficient food and water for him and make sure he has enough exercise. I regularly take him to the vet for a check-up to make sure he is healthy.

This is our 4th time booking with Sophia, and she was amazing as always!! Our flight got cancelled and rebooked for 2 days later and she was extremely flexible and accommodating. It was a huge relief in a stressful situation to have her be there for us and our cat, Ziggy. She sent us constant updates, pictures and was responsive with any questions we had. We always come back to our place looking better than when we left it, and most importantly, with Ziggy happy and healthy 😸 We genuinely could not ask for anything else!

Sydney did a fantastic job watching our cat. He gets nervous going new places so I am so grateful that she could stay with him. She was extremely flexible, as I had changes to my schedule several times and very caring and professional. I would definitely book with her again!

During our trip, Peter was incredibly helpful in taking care of Dodo. Rain or shine, he always made sure to take Dodo out for walks and showed great responsibility. He is also an outstanding and genuinely friendly person, with fast communication and a thoughtful attitude toward our needs. Thanks to him, we were able to see updates about our dog anytime even while we were away. We highly recommend him!

I had a great experience with Moru watching my cat. She was very reliable and sent me regular updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She took great care of Cali, including feeding her on time, cleaning her litter box, and giving her treats, just as I asked. I felt very comfortable with her and would definitely book her again!

Jordan is the best! My Molly is a very frightened-of-the-world and reactive dog. Jordan came by the day before to meet Molly. He made friends with her. very quickly. Jordan is so calm, laid back, and friendly that Molly responded very positively to him in record time. When he came the next say to sit with Molly, she was so happy to see him. Jordan is Molly's new BFF. He took extremely good care of Molly. Next time I need a sitter, it will be Jordan again. He is the best.
I can’t say enough good things about Shima! My dog is usually very shy and cautious around new people, so I was a bit nervous about leaving her for two days, But from the moment they met, I could tell there was something special about Shima. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which is very rare. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated and made sure my dog was happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. When I picked her up, she was calm, content, and clearly had bonded with her sitter. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly connects with animals and treats them like family, I highly recommend Shima. She’s truly amazing! ❤️
