Melanie stayed at my home for 2 weeks to take care of my cat Angel. I have to say that she was absolutely wonderful. My cat was very comfortable with Melanie and she took fantastic care of her. She left my home spotless, the way I left it. I have never had such a marvelous sitter. I would absolutely book Melanie again. Melanie went above and beyond and took loads of pictures of Angel as the progression of my cat's trust became greater. If you want the greatest sitter book Melanie P. Once again Thank You, thank you to Melanie!!

About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from puppies to seniors, and understand how their needs change over time. I’m patient with puppies, consistent with adult dogs’ routines, and gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral meds and injections, and I carefully follow all care and health instructions. I also have knowledge of canine CPR and stay calm and focused in emergency situations. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I promise to give them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I have a very open schedule as I do make my own. I have a vehicle so this also makes it easy to commute to and from your home. I provide personalized care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow their routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet companionship, and I’m comfortable administering medications or injections if needed. I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved, while keeping their home tidy and giving you peace of mind.

Matthew as always is fantastic. I never have to worry about leaving my dog as I know Matthew will take extremely good care of him and give him long walks which he loves. Matthew also leaves the house cleaner than when I left it.

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.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of having Olivia care for my cat Nala, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and took the time to understand Nala’s needs and personality. During my time away, Olivia provided regular updates, including photos, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, Nala was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional cat sitter!

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.

About: I love all animals and practice a dedicated vegan lifestyle for the past 11 years. I have owned three dogs, one cat, four rabbits in my lifetime. Currently, in my home I have three caged free bunnies that don't mind sharing the home with another furry friend. I enjoy being outdoors and being active, so your pet will be well exercised if they like that. I work from home and can be with your pet all day. I also love cats and your cat will have sunny spots to lounge in the home. I will only board one animal at a time, so there will be no sharing of attention or spaces with other animals (except our bunnies). I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home five days a week. If needed, I can crate your pup if I step out, or at bedtime if that's the routine they follow I have a fenced yard for dogs that love to play outdoors, and when they need to go potty. I will pick up their business when outdoors whether in the bush or on a trail walk. I have a multi-level home with stairs and if your pup doesn't like stairs I can carry them to the level I am on, so they always feel like they are part of the action. they will still be a part of the livelihood of my home. My home is well kept with no dangerous chemicals, and is a meat-free home as well (so no raw meat for dinner please).
