“Paula was great with our cat. She is very reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She followed the few instructions carefully, sent regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Elizaveta was excellent with our dog and eased so many of our worries. We were able to go out for the evening and be completely relaxed knowing that she was being well cared for. Elizaveta even went out of her way to give detailed updates throughout the evening along with adorable pictures regarding how our dog was and what she was up. She even went out of her way to make sure that our dogs needs were met in detail. She was even able to get her little boots on during the cold weather (which can also be challenging for us at times also) so that she could go on a little adventure through the snow. I definitely would recommend Elizaveta to anyone looking for a good sitter to take care of their fur baby and we will be using her services again in the future.”

“We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Rory was patient, caring and very responsive, even with my many texts! Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!!”

“Stryker had a blast with Adrienne! She took him out on many walks and adventures and provided me with a daily update including pictures and videos of his outings. Adrienne is amazing! I would definitely use her again and will be recommending her services to others!”

“Amanda is amazing. She took in our two bullmastiffs like they were her own for over a week and she made our trip away so much better knowing how well they were being taken care of. She sent us photos and updates of the girls frequently which was really nice and put us at ease. She is extremely trustworthy and we would not hesitate to leave our girls with her again. We feel very lucky to have found her and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much Amanda ❤️ we will definately be returning.”

“Jodi watched my 2 year old lab for 2 days and 1 night. She was wonderful, and even arranged for a meet and greet the week before his stay so that we could get to know her. She was so reassuring, you can tell that she knows what it’s like to leave behind your cherished pet. She took detailed notes when asking about my dog and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away. Would recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Jodi!”

About: Dog walking isn’t just a job for me; it’s a passion that’s become a huge part of my daily routine. I’ve invested time and effort in attending obedience classes, ensuring I have a deep understanding of how to handle and walk dogs safely. Moreover, I offer an exciting dimension to dog walking. If you’re someone who loves adventure hikes and enjoys letting your dog run off-leash, I’ve got you covered. I frequent Wishart Conservation Area daily with my dog, providing not only great walking experience but also the opportunity for off-leash fun and exploration. Additionally, I offer pick-up and drop-off services for your convenience. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine. Each morning, I start with a brisk walk with my own dog to ensure he gets the exercise he needs. Throughout the day? i schedule playtime, feeding and regular potty breaks. I also set aside time for training and enrichment activities to keep him mentally stimulated. On a weekly basis, I like to explore new walking routes, parks, or hiking trails to keep things exciting for both my dog and the pets I care for. This not only provides a change of scenery but also allows dogs to experience new sights and smells. Overall, pet care is not just a job but a lifestyle for me. It’s about creating a fulfilling, active, and healthy environment for dogs, and I’m dedicated to offering the same level of care and commitment to your furry friends. I offer the convenience of in-home pet care, which means your beloved pets can remain in their families and comfortable surroundings while receiving top-notch care. This service is ideal for pet owners who want to ensure minimal disruption to their pet’s daily routines and reduce stress when they’re away.
“Sylvain was absolutely wonderful!! He took great care to ensure he understood my dog's personality and needs and provided me with daily updates and pictures. I would absolutely leave my dog with him again and I highly recommend him to all pet owners. His care for animals and attention to the details of their well-being is very clear. Your dog is in great hands with Sylvain!”

“Nidhi was so friendly and easy to communicate with. Cheese really enjoyed his stay there. Nidhi regularly updated with photos and videos of cheese. She accommodated our need of dropping off cheese early.I really recommend her.”

“Anjali is awesome, kept me well informed throughout the day with photos and videos every hour. Our pup gets very excited when we approach their front door and she loves Anjali. Very happy and would definitely recommend Anjali!”

Amanda was amazing with our Sophie! Sophie tends to be nervous around new people but she warmed up to Amanda and her family so fast! We felt comfortable our entire vacation knowing our girl was being taken care of in the best way! Amanda sent photo updates and videos which were awesome. So happy we found a caring pet sitter for our dogs. ❤️

King absolutely loves his stays with Adrienne! He is always so sad to leave because they have such a good time together. Since Christmas is coming up, they played dress up with some Christmas wear and King would rather chew it then wear his Santa hat! It’s always an absolutely pleasure to have Adrienne watch my baby while I go away for work.
