About: I’ve always been around pets, from working at a dog kennel to working as barn staff. I’m always the first person to take in animals and care for them when they need a home m so you can be sure your pet will treated like they’re my own! With my full time job i start later on in the day and I am only working short shifts so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet before and after work. And full time on the weekends. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow your instructions exactly so your pet’s routine stays the same. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and loved. You can count on me to treat your pets and your home with care and respect!

About: Hi! My name is Ashton and I am a veterinary technician student with personal and professional animal care experience. I have experience with dogs who have separation anxiety, behavioural concerns, and chronic health management needs. I have cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies & seniors, as well as palliative care. I am presently working in animal care (part-time) while studying to become a veterinary technician. At home, I spend the rest of my day cuddling with and training my own Rottweiler puppy & two cats. I am happy to accommodate your pet’s needs at home with a focus on maintaining their regular routine and supporting enrichment. While I am not able to provide regular boarding services at this time, please feel free to contact me for more details as I may be able to accommodate unique circumstances.

About: Having grown up with an English Springer Spaniel, I’ve had firsthand experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. In addition, I have many years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, working with energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs — and their owner’s preferences — ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m comfortable with long walks, administering medication, reinforcing training, and providing consistent, reliable care. As a friendly and enthusiastic individual, I’ll always keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind. I look forward to getting to know your pet and supporting you in any way I can! I’m currently working M-F, with a few days from home, but am available in the evenings and at weekends. I am very flexible in days and times and can be available on short notice. I am an extremely clean and respectful individual and take extra care when pet sitting in someone’s home. Safety and comfort are extremely important to me, I want your pet to feel at home, relaxed and safe in their environment and I am happy providing any services that help them achieve this.

“Melanie is a natural dog lover and an excellent communicator. Even prior to the stay, her communication was amazing and extremely fast. We left our reactive rescue with her and it was obvious that she was loved and cared for in our absence. Melanie took precautions when needed and communicated any mishaps or uncertainties. As a bonus, our place was cleaner than when we left! I highly recommend Melanie as a dogsitter who goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes well while you're away.”

“Lisa is incredible! This was our first time using a service for our dog, so it was a difficult decision to have some new watch our do, and spend the time doing it from our home. While Lisa stayed at our home, we agreed for her to bring her dog as well, who played with ours all the time and is such a good boy. So kind, easy going, friendly and playful. She took our dog for walks, drives, to see Christmas lights, to her animal sanctuary, all with advance permission of course. She communicates all the time, sent pictures, videos and comments about the fun he is having, keeping me always in the loop. When we arrived home, our house was in perfect condition. I actually wondered if it was cleaner then we had left it! :) I highly recommend Lisa, without a doubt. She is so kind, friendly, and so lovely. We will definitely be hiring her again and plan on hopefully setting up play dates with her dog and ours as well. Thank you so very much Lisa!”

“Laura was great with our pets while we were away. The house was well cared for and we feel very confident in the quality of care our pets received. We will definitely book again (and in fact already have)!”

“Kayla had excellent communication from start to finish even letting me know that she would be arriving a little early which for me is much appreciated. While I was away she sent pictures and answered my questions right away, again which is what I had requested. I arrived home to find my pets happy and content and my home in perfect condition, even cleaner than when I left. Thank you Kayla!!”

“Neeru has cared for Molly and Django in several occasions. This time, Molly had an emergency surgery right before our trip, and she took excellent care of her. Took her to the vet for check ups and made sure she recover well. I am very grateful ❤️”

“Abigail was a great pet sitter for our fur babies. Kept us updated with messages and pics while we were away which alleviated any concerns we had about our dogs. Our flight was delayed a few days and Abigail kindly accommodated our request for an extension and the transfer of our dogs to a family member. Left our house spotless. We will definitely be calling on her again.”
