1. Melanie P.
“Third time Melanie has looked after Rosie in our home! As always, we appreciate Melanie's cheerful & dedicated approach to the role, and we can tell how much Rosie loves Melanie by how she misses her (and looks for her!) after we return. Melanie saved Rosie from a groundhog on this stay, so there's never a dull moment!”
2. Sabrina P.
“Cashew was in great condition (lots walks) and very relaxed and happy when I returned home. Sabrina left the house in immaculate condition. I will definitely use Sabrina again if she's available.”
3. Zain C.
“I highly recommend Zain - he was very responsive, kindly took the time prior to booking to meet and get to know my dog in advance, sent lots of updates throughout, and left my place clean and tidy when I returned (he was dog/house sitting). Will be booking again. Thanks!”
4. Christine D.
“Another great booking with Christine. Everything is just so easy and reliable with her. We are always so happy to have her watch our two dogs.”
5. Hamsha P.
“Hamsha was amazing from our first communication to the end of the stay. Hamsha was very communicative and responsive before and during the booking. When I returned home, my dogs seemed happy and tired from all the exercise they got!”
6. Sachini U.
“Sachini was absolutely fantastic with Loki! She was responsible for petsitting and housesitting for a month while I was away for work. She cuddled and coddled my attention-seeking and verbose siamese cat to his little heart's desire. Right from our first interaction through the app, she was extremely responsive and willing to meet twice before the booking and asked plenty of questions. Over the month of petsitting, she would regularly send me updates and ask questions if she ever had concerns about anything pet or house related. Communication between us was great throughout the whole process. And, most importantly, Loki was a very happy cat while I was away. I'd recommend Sachini to anyone who needs some pet support!”
7. Tessa C.
“Tessa did a wonderful looking after my fur baby. She sent me pictures, she walked her regularly, I know this as I live in an apartment and people have shared with me how diligent and consistent she was. My apartment was clean, I had clean sheets on my bed when I got home. I will absolutely use Tessa again and be very confident that my pet will be very well looked after.”
8. Mala C.
“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!”
9. Brandon S.
“Brandon was great and he knows what he’s doing! I highly recommend booking him! I really appreciate how communicative he is. Typically, when I leave our dog with a dog sitter the first time- I worry. Not a lot of people can handle my German Shepherd, Ellie. But during our meet and greet with Brandon, I could easily see he could handle her. Although our dog was a tad protective over me during our meet and greet, and wasn’t too friendly with Brandon, he didn’t seem phased by her & knew how to interact with her; they even got to playing in the backyard. My husband and I took a 4 day trip, and while we were away Brandon kept us up to date on what’s going on. He even sent pictures. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog :)”
10. Matthew L.
“Matt is an exceptional dog sitter. From the moment we met him, it was evident that he is a true animal lover and wants to provide the highest quality care. We booked Matt for in-home care for three days over Christmas for our challenging reactive rescue. From his consistent updates, it was easy to see that he was working to make sure our dog was exercised, safe, and loved. At the end of the stay, I realized I had given my dog the best Christmas present she could ever want- an exciting, yet relaxing, staycation. I recommend Matt for anyone looking for peace of mind while you're away, especially if you have a high energy dog. Thanks so much, Matt!”
11. Tamra T.
“Tamra came to our home to take care of our two dogs and she did a wonderful job of it. We got lots of pictures and updates which was really appreciated. We would recommend Tamra and will be having her back again.”
12. Veronica L.
“Veronica is a highly responsible pet care professional with extensive experience in handling both large and small breeds, as well as various temperaments. She offers personalized care and nature-based adventures for pets, and has also provided attentive drop-in services for our cats. Veronica is known for her personable and punctual approach, regularly sending updates and photos to keep you informed.”
13. Laure D.
“Laure a souvent gardé mon chien et mon chat à mon domicile au courant des dernières années. Elle adore les animaux et démontre beaucoup d'affection envers les animaux. J'ai un chien à haute énergie et très anxieux qui demande beaucoup de renforcement durant les marches et Laure est très attentive aux situations qui stress mon chien afin de les éviter ou de faire du renforcement positif. Laure passe parfois 2-3 jours chez moi ou même 2-3 semaines pour garder mon chien et mon chat et elle laisse la maison très propre et bien rangée. C'est une dame très fiable et je vous la recommande grandement.”

15. Leorah G.
About: Hello, my name is Leorah! I live in Cantley, Quebec, with my three dogs; Huskey and German Shepherd and my cat, Ceelo. I am comfortable with taking care of large, more energetic breeds, or taking care of your sweet low-key cat. I enjoy spending my time outside, going for hikes, kayaking and finding the best coffee shop in town. I enjoy taking my dogs out for long walks, dog parks and off-leash walks (training time!). I work from home full-time and have my own vehicle. My work is flexible so would be happy to work with your schedule to find something that works for both of us. I can work from anywhere and would be happy to do drop in's with your pets or to stay at your home caring for your animals. I would be happy to come to your house to take care of your pets and give them a walk. Or, if needed, spend the day at your house taking care of your pets. I am very comfortable with training your dog (if you need it!) and would be happy to learn and follow your commands and the rules of the house for your pets.

About: We have had all sorts of animals (ferrets, cats, dogs, bunnies) at home since I was a child. We have 2 cats (6 & 1), and one dog (7) at home, as well as a big fenced in yard perfect for your pup to play in! I work from home on Monday & Fridays, and am otherwise at home everyday by 4pm. Mostly free on the weekends, and often going on walks/hikes in my free time. I have a fenced in yard and one moderately energetic dog that is used to meeting with other dogs/cats. We go on daily walks and play fetch in the yard. I also have two cats at home that will keep company to your animal!
19. Anna P.
“My cat Oscar loves Anna and enjoys spending time with her. He is a very shy cat but when Anna plays with him he seems to like it as she is very gentle. Anna is a great pet sitter and is highly recommended.”
20. Audrey T.
“Audrey was nothing short of amazing when I was away for the holidays. Gave me piece of mind that my little kitty was in good hands. I would highly recommend Audrey for house sitting services.”
