“This was Marie's second time for a drop-in with Nahla. Again, she was very promt and sent a picture of Nahla on their walk. I never have any worries when we're gone, knowing that she's in good hands! We've already booked Marie for a week in December to stay in our house:)”
“Jade was amazing! We booked her in last minute and she was great! She made the time to come meet our cats before her visits and was super responsive throughout the week. Would highly recommend if you need someone local.”
“Gillian is an absolute angel! I’m so grateful that we chose her to look after our two goldens. They’re so happy and sleepy after a visit from Gillian that I know they’ve had a good play. She keeps us updated with adorable photos and videos (which are such high quality!!), and her little touches show that she cares about her clients. Without a doubt we will trust our babies with Gillian again. They can’t wait!”
“Jenny was prompt arriving each day, gave us excellent reports with photos of our kitties and did everything we asked and more. We would definitely hire her again. Thank you!”

“Jacqueline is amazing she arrives with a big dose of energy today with the terrible snow storm she had cleats on her boots and away they went and Kyle had a ball with her running threw the snow .”

Flexible Pet Care Schedule Aligned with Your Pet's Needs As a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home Monday to Friday and occasionally take on part-time shifts during evenings and weekends. This means your pet will almost always have someone home with them, ensuring consistent companionship and supervision. I'm available seven days a week and happy to accommodate your specific scheduling needs.

About: I am a friendly, energetic 26 year old who loves all furry friends! Growing up on a farm, I have had a long history of working with animals. I love dogs, and I began dog sitting and taking care of dogs when my family adopted our dog Riley 10 years ago. Through the years, my family has also fostered many dogs, and I have really enjoyed taking the dogs out for long walks, runs, and out to play. I would love to take care of your dog for you, whether they’re big, small, shy, outgoing, lazy or energetic. (I am also very good with cats and other small animals). I look forward to meeting you and your pet. When I am looking after a pet, their care is my top priority. I always put them first and give them as much attention as they need. I care for pets in my home very attentively and thoughtfully. If a pet has a favourite treat or a favourite activity or enjoys being pet a certain way I will make sure to give them that treat activity or walk.

Kari truly goes above and beyond. As soon as we have a vacation booked I book her services as I know 10000% that she will treat our cats with so much love and care. From her detailed reports and photo updates to her cleanliness and attention to detail when she visits, I have zero worries in the world and absolutely nothing but positive things to say about her. Our boys love her and I know your pets will thank you for introducing this new friend to them, too. Thank you so much for the incredible peace of mind, yet again, Kari!
Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of our little girl while we were away. It was Scarlett's first time without her humans, and considering she has a tough past, we were concerned about how she would feel. Jacqueline made sure that Scarlett felt safe and comfortable, offering kindness, soft words, and continued patience. She was always on time and made sure to send us photos and updates 🙂 We would definitely recommend Jacqueline and hope that she would want to sit for Scarlett again in the future 💖 Thanks again, Jacqueline!
Tiffany is amazing! She is very kind and patient with our shy/anxious kitties. She followed our instructions and did everything flawlessly. Her ponctuality, attention to detail and comunication are great traits too. She sends detailed updates and photos at the end of each visit. It is always stressful to leave our cats when we travel, so I am relieved to have found such a dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Tiffany!
