“Anissa is the best cat sitter I have ever met. I recommend her to everyone who cares their pets so much. She is kind, full of love to my cats, took even better care of them than myself. She made detailed notes before dropping by, cleaned bowls for them after every meal, played with them, made the cat litter box super tidy and clean. She did a lot more than I asked - vacuumed my home, added water to my humidifiers, took care everything at my home during my leave. The service she provided, is much more than what I can expect. Definitely five star and will rebook. Thank you so much for everything you did, Anissa!”


“Alaia was wonderful with our pets. We have worked with her twice, and once were gone 3 weeks. We would not hesitate to have her look after our aging pets again. Alaia was exceptionally easy to work with and we highly recommend her!”


“Stacey took care of our cat while we were on vacation and she was amazing! She was always on time, sent photos and shared informations about the visit. We definitely recommend her and we will count on her again whenever we need. You can trust that your pet will be safe and well with her just like ours did ☺️”

“Thank you so much for the long period visits with my cat. Nicole was amazing. She was always making sure that my cat stay healthy and happy. I highly recommend her.”


About: I go by the name Lavender! I’ve had the privilege of living with and caring for pets for most of my life, so animals are truly a part of my family. Growing up in a household that always had pets, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of animals, including two Toy Poodles, a Golden Retriever, a Shiba Inu, two Tabby cats, hamsters, birds, and fishes. This has given me a deep understanding of different pet needs, personalities, and care routines. What sets me apart is my comfort with any type of pet, big or small, and my flexible job that allows me to be available to engage with your pet. If you need a trustworthy house sitter, I’m the one ✋🏻Your pet will receive the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away (or need a break).

I’m already an avid walker, energetic person, and outdoorsy adventurer in my day to day life so spending time with your pet will not be a problem. I’m very patient and loving, so you can trust me with your pets! I will adhere to your request with the utmost care and tailor to your pet’s specific needs, whether it’s a walk for an energetic dog, playtime for a curious cat, basic training for puppies, or quiet moments for a senior pet. When taking care of them during house visits or overnight, I will strive to maintain their usual routine to build trust and help them feel more at ease while you’re away.

About: I'm a photographer who has transitioned from pet lover to professional caregiver, blessed with a lifetime of companionship from furry friends, like dogs, cats, rabbits and ramsters. Today, I have one rescued dog that teaches me everyday about love. I'm detail-oriented and responsible, treating pet care as a serious commitment. My knowledge of basic training techniques allows me to maintain any training you've been working on.

A Typical Day of Drop-in visits include a lot of sniffing during walks, plenty of play and cuddle time, adherence to your pet's regular food and schedule and basic oral medication administration if needed.

About: I had a dog for 9 wonderful years, and during that time, I learned so much about daily pet care, from feeding and walking to dealing with vet visits and emotional bonding. Because of this experience, many friends and neighbors began trusting me with their pets as well. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I truly understand what it means to love and care for an animal like family—and that’s exactly how I’ll care for yours I’m currently not working, so I have a completely open schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet.

“Laura was great with our fur baby! She sent updates with photos to keep us at ease :) would definitely rebook whenever we’re in Toronto!”

About: I have been taking care of 10 dogs in the past 15 years and I treat every dog as if they were my own child, providing personalized care and attention tailored to their needs. From playtime to cuddles to reinforcing good habits, I ensure your dog's time with me is fun, stimulating, and relaxing. flexible, reliable, and experienced in a safe and cozy environment. Unfortunately, we have been grieving due to losing our sweet dog, and we are so upset! My daughter, my wife, and I would love to take care of dogs, as they are angels, and they give us so much love. I am working part time, and I work mostly from home so I can handle the dog sitting. This job can fill my other needs. As a dedicated dog lover your furry friend's happiness and safety are my top priorities. Engage dogs with walking and running based on the dog's energy level, playing hide and seek, throwing ball or frisbee in a safe way, playing tug-of-war, training sessions like teaching new tricks or reinforcing some new commands such as sit, stay, roll over as I have taken my dog to PetSmart training sessions and I am familiar with those trainings.

About: Unsolicited, I have been called a 'dog whisperer' by strangers. Other peoples' words, not mine ;) I loved having two or three dogs at a time growing up, and I can't get enough! Over the years I have seen it all: super-special diets (kangaroo meat!), allergies, ear medications, dogs who will only eat off a paper plate, etc. While you're away, your pup/doggo will receive the attention and care they deserve :) I recently fostered for the first time, and an amazing dog who spent almost a year in a shelter found a great forever home! I work remotely & set my own hours, and I ensure that your dog is not lacking for exercise (or attention)! Your fur family member is my priority, and I work around that :) I live in an second-floor apartment with large windows & balcony facing a row of tall trees; lots of natural light and bird chirping. There is a large park only steps away with a wonderful group of local dog owners, as well as plenty of nearby paths. The apartment building is new, dog friendly, and even has a pet washing/drying area. There is also a Global Pet Food store across the street :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young girl and absolutely love being around animals of all kinds. Growing up with both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's pet sitting, dog walking, or drop-in visits, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like family and will make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I'm currently available full time as I’m in between jobs and actively seeking a new full-time position. That means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet’s needs—whether it's daily visits, extended stays, or last-minute care. With my own pets at home, caring for animals is already a natural part of my routine, and I love being able to help other pet owners feel at ease when they're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort, safety, and happiness come first. In your home, I make sure to stick to your pet’s usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own environment, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they’re relaxed while you're away. I always respect your home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: I love dogs and I am excited to be around them. I used to have a dog in our apartment back in my country. I think they bring joy to life but it’s hard for me to get one at this point of life. I can schedule for walking and boarding if I know ahead of time. I can be flexible most of the times so that would not be an issue. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with my sister and I think there is enough room to take care of a doggy here! I make sure they have their food and potty on time.

About: I'm a certified Animal Care Assistant and Pet CPR certified as of 2025, with hands-on experience in vet ICU settings and animal shelters. My personal experience comes from caring for my soul cat, Oliver, who passed last year, and bottle-feeding my family cat at 13. My heart isn’t ready for another of my own just yet, so I’m here to pour that love into your animals instead. I currently have a flexible schedule and do most of my work from a laptop, this allows me to plan my days around pet visits not pet visits around my days. which allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or extended visits, my routine can be shaped around them. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and cared for. I love following directions so with clear communication your pet will only miss your presence not your routine. I know the disruption that having someone new in your home can bring that's why I take note of each pets specific needs when meeting for the first time. My education in Animal Care and certification in CPR prepare me to not only see if something is out of the ordinary, but how to deal with it.

About: I have experience in dogs young and old, large and small. Walks are a one on one experience to get outside and enjoy the outdoors! I am currently working as a full-time graphic designer but I am fitting in early morning, afternoon and evening walks into my schedule from Saturday to Wednesdays weekly. I have owned pets all my life. From fish, rabbits, birds, cats, and dogs. I take pride in providing a safe, responsible, and fun experience for our furry friends!

“Jiaying was wonderful to work with! she was super responsive and followed my instructions exactly. Best of all, my cat wasn’t anxious at all when I came home. I will definitely call on Jiaying again :)”


About: I have been around dogs since i was born. I love having them around me and since having grown up around them I know their needs I understand their emotions or anxiety. I will care for your pet deeply and will ensure that they have a great time and will ensure their safety I am currently a student so I have plenty of time to help out with dogs and can give them the time and attention needed. I live in an apartment so I dont have a backyard but i live at yonge and sheppard so there are a lot of pet friendly parks at a walking distance which will allow our furry friends to have some fun

“Petra must be an animal whisperer because our territorial cat had 0 issues with her. She was prompt, careful, and obviously understands animals and their body language. We will definitely be contacting her again.”


“Shuda is a very patient and gentle girl. She is especially meticulous and always checks with me in advance about many things I wouldn’t have thought of. After each visit, she sends me a checklist detailing everything she did that day, with notes on things to keep an eye on and updates on each cat’s condition. She is also very flexible with her time, which made it extremely convenient for me”

Ting-Wei H.Star Sitter
“I own two lovely cats at a condo within the city, and Lavender has helped me care for them on several occasions from when I had to leave for vacations of up to a week. They are always happy and healthy by the time I'm back and I'm always happy with the level of care she provides. Lavender is very responsive (which I know is very important when we want updates on our babies), and she is great at following instructions, supported by her experience with her own pets and the pets of other friends. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a pet-sitter or dogwalker or anything of that sort :)”

Katie sent lots of cute pictures so I could see what Poppy was up to all weekend. They stayed in my apartment in order to maintain Poppy's routine and Katie took great care of my home as well.
