I cannot express enough gratitude towards La Tasha for her exceptional puppy sitting services for my beloved Ace. From the moment I handed over Ace to her, La Tasha went above and beyond to alleviate all my stress and worries. Her consistent updates, filled with adorable pics and videos of Ace, were not just reassuring but a testament to her dedication and care. Throughout the day, her messages kept me informed about Ace's well-being, which was incredibly comforting, especially since I was concerned about his eating and sleeping habits in my absence. La Tasha didn't just look after Ace; she treated him with the same love and attention as if he were her own, which speaks volumes about her character and passion for animals. I am immensely grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the peace of mind she provided me. Without a doubt, I will be turning to La Tasha's services again in the future. A heartfelt thank you, La Tasha, for everything.

Our pup had an amazing time at Lilian’s — with tons of exercise and playtime. Lilian kept us updated throughout the visit. Honestly, it felt like our dog got a vacation of his own while we were away.

About: I have over 30 years of caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes-including rescue dogs. It is a dogs world-I just pay the bills!! Hi there! I have taken care of and loved dogs all of my life! I currently have two dogs at home- Ryder who is a 7 year old yellow lab who loves to play fetch and cuddle and CiCi, a six year old shepherd mix who loves to explore the backyard and play. Both of my dogs are very dog friendly and love to play. I work from home most days and am available on weekends. I have half an acre of fenced in back yard that allows your fur baby to have endless zoomies and potty breaks! I also take my dogs on frequent walks to get their exercise on as well. Dogs are welcomed on the couch. Interactions and meals between dogs will always be supervised. Please let me know how I can best fit your dogs needs! I have a spacious house that allows allows dogs to relax and have their space. My backyard is half an acre and fenced completely. I enjoy walking my dogs for both physical and mental exercise. I always ensure the safety of my dogs and will care equally for anyone who trusts me with their pups.

When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!

Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.

About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Stephanie took such good care of our 12 year old yorkipoo, when we were out of the country for three weeks. She constantly sent updates and pics to show how he was doing. She even gave his meds every day and even got more meds from my vet as I didn’t give her right amount of meds. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough as a pet sitter. I will definitely use her again.

We also have 3 cats; Finn, Sassy and sully I’m currently a stay at home mom raising my 14 month old son. He usually comes with me to do my rovers and does really well with animals as he has a bunch at home. He’s usually kept busy with toys or a movie while I do drop ins. We have house sitted before and he’s done well with that. My dogs are let out every two - four hours . My cats are fed twice daily once in the morning and again before bedtime but dry food is left out all day for grazing.

Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.

Bobbi was amazing and incredibly accommodating. I had a very last-minute work trip and felt completely unprepared, but she handled every hiccup with patience and kindness and immediately put me at ease. She consistently sent daily photos and updates, checked in regularly, and took great care of Roman. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter.

I woke up on the day I was to travel home with food poisoning. I informed Angela that I was leaving late due to this problem. She was very flexible and assured Tipper would be ok till I could get there. And just take care of myself. Tipper was ok and I think she is a great sitter.

I had anxiety about what to do with our 6 month old pup during our 2 week visit overseas until I met Jacqueline. She's a confident dog owner that understands dogs! She kept us posted with daily pictures and videos of Bode having good times with ever patient Clover and all the other dogs. It felt like we sent him to a doggy summer camp. Booking with Jacqueline was above and beyond what I was hoping for.
