“Rachel came and visited my pups. She let them out to play and have potty breaks. My dogs take time to warm up but honestly it didn’t take more than 5 minutes and my pups loved her. I will be booking her on a more consistent basis. She is so loving and warm. I highly recommend her to anyone with their babies”

“Tatiana has been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Champ. She is reliable, always on time, and incredibly patient and attentive. She never rushes, takes the time to do things properly, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. Champ is always calm and happy with her — we feel very lucky to have found her.”

“Moru is a wonderful pet sitter! We felt completely at ease leaving our two beloved cats in her care. She was punctual, followed all instructions carefully, and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. You can rest assured your pets will be in excellent hands with Moru!”

About: 🐾 Your Pet’s New Favourite Human🤗🐾 I’ve spent the last few years caring for dogs and cats of all ages - from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m comfortable handling common puppy behaviors like biting, not listening, and endless energy, using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also provide gentle care for senior pets, follow routines closely, and give anxious animals the calm attention they need. What sets me apart is how much I pay attention to each pet’s personality. I love giving dogs plenty of exercise—runs, trail adventures, and even hurdling through snow—while also providing opportunities to sniff, explore, and stimulate their minds. For cats, I focus on calm, interactive play, enrichment activities, and cozy companionship on their terms. Every pet in my care gets love, attention, and plenty of photo updates, because I treat them like family. I’ve taken a year off school so I have plenty of time during my week for your pets needs! I am available for one time and regularly scheduled services! I create a safe, calm, and clean space in your home, following all routines and instructions closely. Cats get cozy spots, toys, and safe exploration, while dogs enjoy walks, exercise, and structured play. I focus on trust, consistency, and communication, sharing photos and updates so you always know your pets are happy and cared for.
“Grace was absolutely amazing! I trust her so much! She even drove by my house before the first visit to make sure she knew where it was (I wasn’t able to have access to my phone for the weekend) so this made me feel at ease. She updated my son with cute videos and made sure her she had lots of play time! She also filled her food and water as well as changed the litter! I’m glad Grace was there to care for Luna, as she is a kitten and was just recently adopted. Being left alone for the weekend would have been scary for her. Will definitely repeat 🔁 with Grace and I recommend her HIGHLY! Many thank you’s”

About: The genuine care and attention I give to each dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistent routines and patience, to senior dogs who require gentler walks, extra care, and a slower pace. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and committed to providing safe, enjoyable walks and play dates tailored to your dog’s individual needs. I also focus on building trust with both pets and their owners so everyone feels at ease. I’m currently working evenings from home as an administrative assistant for a media company but am available anytime of day Monday - Friday. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon visits, or weekend playtime, I’m consistent and flexible, ensuring your pet’s routine stays on track. In my home, pets have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely play, explore, and get plenty of outdoor time. I also have a spacious basement apartment with lots of open areas for relaxing, playing, or just lounging comfortably, perfect for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine closely, from feeding and walking schedules to any special instructions. Whether in my space or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels at home.
“Sophia is such a dedicated and responsible sitter—I actually want to give her a 10 out of 5! She did a pre-drop-in visit and patiently listened to all my concerns as a first-time Rover user worried about leaving my two babies home alone. My dog, Chance, is an almost 90lb Labrador who is wary of strangers, but Sophia was incredibly capable of building trust with him. She even brought toys from her own home to play with him! She also bonded with my cat, Cathy, very well. Sophia sent numerous photos and videos during her visits and even insisted on walking Chance despite the cold weather. She is truly passionate about animals and very observant. For example, she noticed Cathy had moved her cat bed and asked if she should put it back. She even picked up a delivery for us that arrived earlier than expected! It was a pleasure working with Sophia. Chance and Cathy like her a lot, and I cannot wait to have her watch them again during my next trip.”

About: Ive had a genuine love for pets since childhood. Even with having multiple cats at home, I would still find cats outside and bring them home to give them food and water. My friends have also trusted me with their pets due to my experience, and Ive never really met a pet that didn't like me as well. I care for my own pets (2 Russian blue cats), in between being a musician. I embrace their healing properties (Like their purring, that is even used for acoustic therapy for bone healing in humans!), I enjoy educating myself about what they need to thrive. My 2 cats (mom and her son) keep each other company daily, they both enjoy going outside but the little one only roams in the backyard when he feels like running around and munching on grass.

“I apologize for my delayed review; I was busy catching up on my work. I was really pleased that Qian accepted my request, even though it was last minute. He came to check on Ray and my house within 30 minutes of my request before agreeing to it. He understood my instructions perfectly. He was also flexible enough to accommodate my request to change the time on the first day. For the actual service, he arrived right on time and took care of Ray as instructed, sending me pictures to reassure us. On the second day, he cleaned the litter box, communicated with me, and went upstairs to check on Ray to make sure he was okay. I'm very satisfied with the service and will definitely reach out again when I need pet sitting services.”

My cat had an amazing time with Chaochao. She managed to follow our cat’s semi-complicated feeding instructions and communicates regularly. We received many daily photos which our whole family looked forward to everyday. Chaochao is respectful of our house and kept everything neat and tidy. Would definitely book again!
