“Highly recommend Paige. Shes passionate about animals and provided a loving and safe environment for our pets. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. She was always prompt with communication and sent adorable pictures of our pets. She also took care of our place like it was her own and cleaned up after herself and the animals.”
“Sabrina was fast to respond to my request to sit my two little chihuahuas. I had my regular dog sitter cancel last minute on me and Sabrina agreed to watch my boys with only two days notice. I saw other sitters asking for 1 weeks notice. Sabrina has great energy, is very kind and took an interest in my dogs asking about all the things that would make them most comfortable during her stay in my home. Sabrina arrived on time and gave me updates and photos while I was away. Her communication was great. Sabrina left my home clean and tidy. I felt comfortable right away leaving my fur babies with her, which says a lot because my boys are very timid and don’t take to just anyone. It takes a certain kind of energy to make them feel comfortable. If you have chihuahuas you know what I mean. I will use her again and would highly recommend her to others. Thank you Sabrina!!”
“I had the pleasure of hiring Veronika to look after my dog Keisha, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. My dog is usually very reluctant when it comes to new people, but Veronika was incredibly patient and gentle, allowing my dog to warm up at her own pace. From the moment Veronika arrived, she took the time to establish a connection and build trust. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for how Veronika went above and beyond to ensure my dog’s needs were met. She was professional, attentive, and truly seemed to enjoy spending time with my dog. I will definitely be using Veronika again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Mala is so great with our dogs, they had lots of indoor and outdoor fun and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. We will definitely ask her to come spend time with them again!”
“Abigail came to our house to dog sit Luna for several days. We were very happy with how she took care of her, followed instructions and left our house clean. She also sent pictures everyday. We would highly recommend her!”
“Olivia truly surpassed our expectations! The house was spotless and our fur babies happy when we came back. It was our first time having our pets looked after at our home and Olivia was extremely reliable and attentive. Very professional, friendly and trustworthy. We received pictures, videos and updates everyday. She allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation for the first time in a long time knowing our pets and home were in good hands. We cannot thank her enough! We highly recommend her!”

“Brooke had posted on a dog park that I follow. I quickly saw her message about the services she was offering. I contacted her, and within an hour I had a response. I requested that she do her services in a specific room in my home (all Covid protocol ) which she did. Booking the appointment was done with ease and she accomodated me. Brooke arrived with kit in hand, masked up, and had treats for my pup. My pup is a very shy, fear based wee soul, however, Brooke's calming disposition, had my Bugsy at ease in no time. We had a successful nail trim and buff!!! I will be having Brooke back and highly recommend her services !”

“My cats just adore Amanda and they immediately felt comfortable and relaxed around her. Within a few minutes of her arriving, my male cat was climbing on her to cuddle. She is definitely one of my cats’ favourite people now and I would trust her with anytime with my cats and house. Amanda comes in, cares for my cats, and leaves - she leaves no trace when she goes.
