We are so happy to have found Nadia! With a very anxious little dog who doesn’t like to be left alone it can be hard to get out. Nadia came in with her calm and loving demeanour and Pukki relaxed right away. Nadia knew how to speak to him and connect with him so we could go out without worry. She’s a skilled dog whisperer and a great communicator with dog parents too. We got updates throughout the evening and came home to a happy dog. Your pup will be safe and happy in her hands, can’t recommend her enough!

Emily did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs while I was away for the weekend. She made sure they were both well taken care of and happy, and excercised. I can't begin to explain how nice it felt not to worry about my dogs while I was away, and to come home to 2 happy pups. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for an excellent, kind and professional sitter.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the past few years while pet parents are away. I am able to feed, walk and medicate dogs as needed, since I work in the veterinary world. I work full time at a local veterinary clinic 4 days a week, so that leaves 3 full days to cherish and love pets while pet parents are away on vacation. I have lived with cats all my life and have always loved visiting my friends and grandparents dogs whenever I was over there. I have also done some private dog and cat sitting with referrals from friends and family.

Gillian was wonderful. She stayed with our dachshund while we went away for the weekend. Sent us tons of pictures and it seemed like he was even better behaved with her than he is with us. He was happy to see us when we got home but not anxious at all, which he can be sometimes when we go away. Gillian was a fantastic house sitter and even stripped the bed and washed it for us before she left. Will definitely book again!

We hired Kiara to sit our 2 dogs over a long weekend. As soon as I met her, I knew she was the perfect person for the job. Kiara immediately showered my dogs with sincere kindness and attention and they loved her back right from that very first moment. It was obvious she genuinely loves dogs. She listened carefully to my care instructions and asked appropriate questions about our pets as well as our home. While we were away, she kept us updated with short videos and photos and reached out to us whenever she needed clarification. She was prompt to reply to any of my inquiries as well. We felt very comfortable with Kiara looking after our dogs in our home. After our trip, we arrived to 2 happy dogs and our house being just as clean and tidy as we left it. In all, I would highly recommend Kiara to care for anyone’s dogs. She is trustworthy, kind and truly caring.

We have never left our 2 boys with anyone before so leaving them for a week vacation next week was going to cause a little anxiety for us. We already felt very comfortable with Lauren after the meet and greet a few weeks ago but having her stay with them for a few hours while we went out yesterday really sealed the deal! Lauren is knowledgeable and confident and really put our minds at ease. The boys took to her right away, chilled on the couch with her, and allowed her to walk them, which I thought might have been an issue with our one timid boy but no...all went extremely well. She sent us text and pics throughout the evening which was great. We have no reservation leaving them in her care for next week's vacation and all our future ones as well. Thank you Lauren!!

Melina connected with my cat, Daisy, immediately. Daisy is a rescue (10 yrs old) and hasn't been with me very long, so I'm still getting to know her. I needed to travel for business and wanted Daisy to feel safe, secure & comfortable. Melina stayed overnight, sent videos, texted updates and left everything in great condition, especially Daisy. She is professional, obliging, responsive, friendly, and works well with pets, for sure. I will be booking Melina again!!

About: Hey there, fellow dog lover! 🐾 I’ve been a proud dog owner since I was just a kiddo of 8!. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with three adorable South African Boa Bull dogs, two loyal Rottweilers, and now my delightful golden doodle! I’ve gathered quite the treasure trove of experience in dog care – from whipping up tasty meals for them, going on exciting walks, and playing fun games, to stocking up on their favorite toys and cleaning up their little messes. I also know all the best spots for those irresistible belly rubs! I’m here to help keep your pup happy and healthy, providing invigorating walks and lots of love! With my years of experience as a dog parent, I’m ready to be a part of your furry friend’s life. If you could bring along your dog’s favorite toys, snacks, bowls, that would be fantastic! Let’s make sure your four-legged buddy has the best time ever! 🐶💖 I work from home so it is easy to schedule myself into rover as I have the time and space needed for the work and a dog I have a fenced yard and a quiet walkable neighborhood that we can go on lots of strolls on. I also have a dog to play with

About: Hi! I’m Anna, I’ve always loved animals, I had three chihuahuas and a golden retriever growing up. I currently have a Pomeranian bichon mix named Dr. Pepper who is treated like royalty (he’s a pampered prince). My friends have relied on me to take care of their furry family members while they have been away and it warms my heart to see the unconditional love that pets bring us. I work from home and I live in the north end of St. Catharines. My home backs onto sunset beach (Lake Ontario) and there are endless pathways to explore! I am available for extended stays in my home and welcome to short term, drop ins and doggy walking - I’m flexible with scheduling and also willing to travel a reasonable distance! I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, I currently have a little Pomeranian mix floof puppy. I understand that your pets are family and I promise to love them dearly and make them feel safe in your absence :)

About: I basically grew up with pets. I’ve had a total of 10 dogs (all together) growing up. Pets are like family to me and caring for them comes as second nature to me as well. It is my joy seeing them happy, properly fed and well taken care of in general. I’m available to walk your pets, feed them, and even give them baths if necessary. I would also do home drop ins and stay to keep your pets company if need be. Your pets happiness is all that matters. Pets deserve so much love, care and adoration, and it would be my pleasure to do the best I can to provide that level of safety for your pets. I give you my word on that.

We and our ‘girls’ love Megan! We’ve had a difficult time finding someone we could trust with the house as well as the girls. Some were better with the house, others with the girls. Megan was the perfect match! We arrived home, back from vacation, with the girls excited and healthy as well as the house being better off than we left it! Megan gave daily updates with pictures, answered any inquiry in a moment, followed feeding instructions and went well beyond everything that was requested. More importantly, things that weren’t expected! Megan lifted every stress off of our shoulders while away! Our girls (especially Tessa) was left looking for her the next day after we returned, and we’re sure they both miss her terribly! We won’t consider anyone else, and hope Megan stops by from time to time to visit until our next booking! Thank you, Megan!

We were so thrilled to be able to go away on vacation and ‘try’ not to worry about leaving Haven - our Standard Poodle rescue with separation anxiety - for a week with Amanda. Haven bonded with Amanda from their first meeting. We were sure Haven would not walk further than ten feet with Amanda, if at all! With patients and many treats! Amanda was able to get Haven walking around our neighbourhood, within a couple of days. Amanda kept us up to date with pictures and texts on how Haven was doing which made us able to enjoy our vacation with much less stress. Thank you Amanda!
