“John was awesome! So accommodating, sent me daily pictures, answers texts and calls quickly and let me vacation stress free. I would definitely recommended booking with him!”
“Michelle took good care of my dog but she is best suited for medium/light weight dogs. I have a golden which she was looking after and my dog decided to throw tantrums asking for longer walks, sleeping on road which requires more strength for handling giving her a hard time. I got regular updates from her for my booking.”
“Once again Leila came home happy after being so wonderfully cared for. Mike and Jim are delightful and they love our little girl the way we want her to be loved and cared for. Thanks guys!!!”
“We had a great experience with Ash dog! They were reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our dog's stay. It was clear our pup was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of attention and exercise. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog, which gave us real peace of mind. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I I’ve had the joy of being a devoted dog owner for over 20 years, and caring for dogs has been a meaningful part of my life throughout adulthood. Having also worked with dogs in a professional capacity at a Doggy Daycare for a year when I lived overseas taught me a lot about the importance of building relationships with families who put trust in others to care for their dogs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for the dogs of friends and family, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, breeds, energy levels, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to make each pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s a playful adventure, a relaxing afternoon, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I currently do not have a dog so am in a position to give the dogs I care for my undivided attention. For me, dog sitting isn’t just a service—it’s an opportunity to provide the same love, attention, patience, and dependable care that I would want for any family member being cared for. After all, dogs are people too! I live a 15 minute walk away from work and get a one hour lunch break every day, so will come home midday for a walk. I work full time Monday to Friday. I live in a very secure condo and will ensure diligence with the number of washroom breaks and walks your dog needs. As each dog’s needs are unique, I will take your lead on how many pee breaks and walks your dog needs.
“Katie is awesome! She took such good care of our dog, sent update pics of how it was doing and even follow up on how he was after the boarding ended. We will definitely book her again for our next getaway. Thanks Katie!”
“Sara and her family are truly wonderful hosts. 👍 They are very loving and genuinely great with dogs. They took my dog out multiple times every day and always kept me updated with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. They are incredibly patient and spent real quality time with my dog, not just basic care. Most importantly, Sara is an excellent communicator. She treats dogs like family and often gives them praise and encouragement, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received and would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring host.”
“My and Tim's experience with Braden was fantastic. Tim was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Braden was quick to respond, and sent updates on how Tim was doing. I definitely will be reaching to Braden again next time I'm going out of town. Thanks!”
“Taenelle was amazing! She kept us updated with lots of messages and photos, which made us feel so much better while we were away. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our cats. The cats were so relaxed when they got home and settled right in. That really says it all. We’ll definitely be booking with Taenelle again whenever she’s available. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was a wonderful host for Nyxie! I think she had a great time all around. We definitely would recommend Diana for anybody who needs someone to take care of their pup!”
“Sandra and her family provided such excellent care for our puppy. This was our first overnight trip away, and Sandra was very kind to keep us updated with messages and pictures. I was so relieved to see Mabel enjoying herself and I knew she was in good hands.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience for Paco! This was his first time ever being away from us for 3 nights, and Lara made the entire experience so much easier. Paco was happy, well cared for, and absolutely loved his walks. One thing that meant a lot to us was knowing that Lara let Paco cuddle up with her at night, helping him feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Lara was also very accommodating when we wanted to visit him and take him out for a few hours during his stay. We’re so grateful for the love, care, and attention Lara gave Paco. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“JM was an amazing dog sitter for Lulu! From the very beginning, JM was reliable, caring, and attentive, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Lulu was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of love and attention. JM kept us updated with regular messages and photos, creative, beautiful journal entries, and it was obvious that Lulu felt comfortable and safe. I truly appreciated the professionalism, great communication, and genuine care shown throughout the stay. JM is a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Lulu—we would be happy to book with you again!”

Sakiko is the best! Maestro loves going over to their place and hanging out with Jack. Maestro gets regular walks and lots of playtime in the park. Sakiko sends regular updates as well as pictures and videos! I have complete peace of mind when Maestro is in her care!
I could tell right away that Polly and Rez are such great, trustworthy people, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Hazel in their care. The regular photo updates were much appreciated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog!
Odis first time staying with Nam. We couldn't be happier with the experience. 3 nights went by and was very well taken care of. I think he's got better treatment there than at home. 😂 Nam was wonderful, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Odis was in good hands. Highly recommended!
Rishabh was fantastic with Doug! He was always friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any messages, which gave us great peace of mind. He took Doug on a hike and even sent us lovely photos of him relaxing on the sofa with Moon, which was so nice to see while we were away. It was clear that Doug was in great hands, and we really appreciated the care and communication throughout. We would absolutely recommend Rishabh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking him again!
We're so glad to have found Dean to look after our cockapoo Poppy! He made a great first impression by taking the time to meet with us and Poppy, to ensure we'd be a good fit for his space and pack. Poppy can be nervous around new people - especially men - but she gravitated toward him naturally and eagerly. Dean's care and respect for the dogs he looks after was evident throughout our interactions with him, and not only did she spend a wonderful weekend with her but we came away with some excellent advice for her dietary health and wellbeing. We wouldn't (and won't) hesitate to book with Dean again. Thank you!
Sarah was great with little Moo. She provided consistent updates whether through pics, video and general feedback on her daily wellness. Sarah was very attentive throughout with my dog and as an owner, it put me at ease during my work travels. Your pet is in good hands with Sarah!
I went on vacation for 9 nights and grateful for the care Arjun provided to Kenzie. When I arrived he welcomed me inside to show me the living room and deck - which was very spacious! He sent daily videos of walks and Kenzie playing in a field off leash with another dog. I could see that she was receiving great care and doing well :).
Olivia is absolutely amazing! This is our second time using her and I can’t recommend her more. Her space is so cozy and safe for dogs with the perfect backyard and she is so caring. We got daily updates and pictures and we never once had to worry about if our dogs were okay with Olivia. She was so flexible and able to accommodate multiple last minute requests with no problem. When we’re back in the area we would definitely even go out of our way to book with her again!
Kirsty was excellent with our dog Ellie. We left Ellie with her for 2 weeks while on vacation, and received regular updates. She gave Ellie special attention, making sure she adjusted well, taking her for walks separate from her own dog at first to make sure she got familiar with her and the area, etc. We would highly recommend Kirsty to others in the future. Thanks for giving us peace of mind while on vacation!
I booked a 2 night stay for my 12+ yr old nearly blind dog. The numerous daily updates & pictures she sent, showed a content & relaxed doggie. She managed his food & walk routine so well he actually ate. My Wee Angus loved his stay. I'd highly recommend Rebecca. I've already booked another stay.🙂
Thank you Natasha for taking great care of Matrix! This was the longest time we were away from him and appreciated your care and updates! The thorough questionnaire prior to booking showed your level of commitment to the pets. Thank you for welcoming Matrix into your home!
