About: 😼 🐶STC Area Specialist I provide low stress pet care with attention to hygiene and emotional comfort. During visits, I focus on respecting boundaries, maintaining routines, and observing appetite, litter box habits, and behavior changes—especially for shy or indoor cats. Pet care is my main focus, which allows me to stay flexible while keeping visits consistent and on time. I limit bookings so each visit is calm, unhurried, and centered around your cat’s routine. I provide low-stress pet care guided by canine & feline behavior and body-language awareness. I focus on calm interactions, home safety, and gentle enrichment based on each pet’s comfort level—especially for shy or indoor cats.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Amanda was absolutely amazing! She arrived right on time, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave our dog so much love and attention — including plenty of walks! We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. We can’t wait to book her again!””

“Highly recommended! It was the first time we hired Tara and we were very satisfied with her work, she made it possible for me to enjoy the trip with daily updates sending me photos and videos and giving me details of their behavior. And I could check it with the calm that was noticeable in dogs. She took note of every detail of the routine that we apply at home and respect each of the indications that I put in writing. And when I returned I could also notice that they were totally calm, I did not notice any stress in them, they even looked very relaxed under their care. Thank you so much for everything Tara, I really appreciate how you took care of my boys.”

“Lynn took amazing care of our senior pup Storm and our home while we were away. She was communicative, sent sweet pics and kept us up to date on everything that was happening, including snowmageddon! Would 1000 percent use her again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Leala. She made Rua feel right at ease from the first minute. Leala kept us updated on Rua’s activities throughout the night. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leala or ask her to look after Rua again.”

“I was very happy with the care my dogs received from Angela. She was gentle, professional and followed my instructions very well. She fed my dogs, cleaned after them and played with them. I was relaxed knowing they were in good hands! I am very appreciative of her and her caring personality! I will surely use her services again. Angela, a big thank you for the warmth and kindness you showed towards my babies!”

“Joanna was great! She provided updates and pictures throughout her stay. She made sure that Jasper got lots of play time and snuggles. We came home to a very tired and happy dog. I look forward to booking with Joanna again in the future.”


About: My dogs a pretty big dog and he’s terrible on the leash so I’ve had a lot of practice with reigning him in from cars and small animals on walks. I’m currently looking for work so I’m free all throughout the day, afternoon, and nights. I take care of my own dog so I have the time and skills to take care of yours! I make sure to always keep an eye on my dog and make sure he gets everything he needs. I make sure to check for skin problems because my dog has skin issues. Make sure his feeding time is spaced from his walking time. Make sure his teeth are clean at night.
About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover who provides loving, reliable care for your dogs and cats 💛 Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins or company while you’re away, I’m here to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I tailor my services and can adjust to different personalities for your pet’s needs. 🐾 I currently take out my dogs every morning and evening for an hour. We also go on shorter breaks throughout the day especially when it's hot to avoid heatstroke. I work remotely from home, with advance notice I can tailor my schedule to your pet's needs. I've learnt to train dogs in a safe way, from no collars in crates to making sure they play safely as well. I always ensure that we are being alert on walks and paying attention to their cues, which is the biggest indicator for their safety. I always make sure their water bowl is full and cleaned every day, even their paws are cleaned after every walk with grooming wipes. Their exercise and hygiene is extremely important, and of course all the yummy food and treats that they are allowed to have, one of my dogs has severe allergies, so I am used to catering to those needs as well (external factors and food allergies).
About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly. As I am currently a stay at home wife, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I ensure regular feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping a clean, secure space. I build trust with lots of love, regular meals, and playtime, using pet-friendly products to keep everything healthy.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Stephanie as a dog sitter for my Lulu, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I contacted her, she was incredibly responsive and attentive to Lulu and my needs. She took the time to get to know Lulu, asking about her routine, preferences, and any special care she might need. During her time with Lulu, she went above and beyond, ensuring Lulu felt comfortable and loved. Stephanie provided regular updates, complete with adorable photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Lulu's well-being and happiness. When I returned home, Lulu was not only well-cared for but also seemed to have formed a lovely bond with her sitter. I highly recommend Stephanie as a dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated to providing exceptional care for their furry friends! She even made sure she kept the house and Lulu clean and followed all my instructions for how to care for Lulu.”

“We hired Brenda to take care of our two cats. She was an exceptional house sitter and took really good care of our pets. Our cats look even better when we got home than they did when we left. Our older one kind of gained a bit of weight, which is great and their coats looked really healthy. It was really nice to feel like we could fully be present in our vacation and not worry about our pets because of Brenda.”

“Devin took such great care of Alice! She sent photos daily and gave frequent updates of their snuggles :) Alice can take time to warm up to people and I felt at ease knowing how patient Devin was with her! Devin also left the house tidy and helped take care of an ongoing fruit fly problem!! 10/10 would recommend :)”

“Jennifer was great with Duke! Very punctual and professional, She updated me about their day and how he was doing while I was out and I really appreciated it. I also received some great photographs of my puppy, a cute bonus :) would definitely book again and recommend ??”

About: I've been taking care of my mother's pets ever since I was 6 but I really started once I started highschool, I helped take care of her first dog Linda until she passed, and was taking care of her new dog Bella up until I came back to Canada. I am currently looking for employment so I have plenty of time to kill. I can work almost every day from 9 am to midnight I have a nice large backyard for pets to play in and relax, and can block off parts of the home if needed when petsitting.
About: Well versed with dog walks and ideally a walk is for about 1/2 hour and depends as well on the fitness goals of your pet. Area taken for walk will be discussed with the owner first and then finalised ( prefer taking the pet walking in known places in beginning and incorporate new places gradually). A lot of times when we become busy with work, we tend to forget that all our pets have is us. This is my brainchild wherein i take your pets to a place other than his daily place (I.e. a dog park, a pet cafe). Aim is to help him/her socialise, step out of his comfort zone as well as spend solo time with him . I adore pets and prefer being around dogs rather than humans. My motivation is my pet dog back in the home country. For me dog sitting fills the part of me that misses my dog back in my home country and will genuinely make me feel happy if my spend my time walking dogs or any job related to dogs. As I am a student, my time is quite flexible! I am available 7 days a week ( Mornings & Evenings) Also open to other timings if informed in advance. As a dedicated and experienced dog sitter, I provide top-notch care for pets both in my home and my client's home. When your beloved furry friend stays with me, they become part of our family, receiving personalized attention and love. In my home: - I ensure a safe and pet-friendly environment, with ample space for play and relaxation. - Daily walks, exercise, and playtime are incorporated into their routine to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. - Regular feeding times are maintained, following the owner's instructions and dietary preferences. - Your dog will have a cozy, designated space to rest, complete with comfortable bedding and toys. - Medications, if required, will be administered promptly and accurately, adhering to the owner's guidelines.
“Dogs loved Megan from the moment they met her. They were well cared for and she kept in regular contact with me while I was away. I would highly recommend Megan if you want a reliable caring pet sitter.”

“Mark did a wonderful job house sitting our 5 month old pup. We got lots of picture and video updates through out our week. We also received detailed updates on how Doc was doing, what they had done that day and plans for the following. Mark stayed in our home, but you would never have known it. He was great about ensuring we returned to the home as we left it. I would definitely recommend Mark and Lorena to anyone looking for house sitting services.”

Joanna was fantastic! She looked after our Golden Doodle who is has anxiety and my quirks. Not only did she provide excellent care where I felt confident being away but with her understanding of animals was able to meet my Dog where he was at and create a bond with my Dog where he felt less anxious. I would highly recommend her and so grateful to have met her as she is a kind person with a love for animals!

Silvia was absolutely amazing and we loved having her here with Pluto! She was attentive, took him on several extra walks/long walks, and ensured to keep us updated several times a day without us having to ask! She is very knowledgeable about dogs, and even our neighbour said how great she was with Pluto! We came home to a clean house and a happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again!

While I was away Lindsay kept me fully up to date on the status and health of my fur baby. Even sent me a few pictures which were really appreciated. I definitely hope Lindsay is available to house and pet sit for me on any future get always. Thank You Lindsay!!!

Sayon dog sat at my house and took care of my 50lb dog Odin who has separation anxiety. His calming presence really helped and he took Odin for a walk as well. I really appreciated Sayon being communicative, confirming earlier in the day we were still all set, showing up on time, being a calming presence to my anxious doggo and making us feel like Odin was in very good hands. Its hard to leave your furbaby with someone new but I highly recommend Sayon!
