“Alexandra fostered my two cats, Leo and Lychee, as kittens before I adopted them in 2020, and now stops in to take care of them when I travel. She takes great care of them, tends tons of pictures, and always leaves my place clean of litter. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Max is always a joy to work with! Princess Pippa adores him and it always gives me peace of mind to know she is happy and cared for when I am away! Max is Pippa’s go-to sitter and can’t recommend him enough for his great check-ins and plenty of pics!”

“Ringo liked CJ right from the start. CJ handled Ringo well. Ringo is a large young dog and CJ was very comfortable with him.”

“Jennifer has a very good understanding of animals. Buzo is a senior pup. She was very patient with Buzo. Buzo seem to be in good hands. Thanks Jennifer!”

“Jashee was amazing! Our dog loves her, and she was incredibly trustworthy, accommodating, punctual, and kept up superb communication throughout our multiple sessions. Cannot say enough good things about Jashee, would recommend to anyone!”

“Keith is a true gem when it comes to pet care. His genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction. He's responsible, attentive, and goes the extra mile to ensure every furry friend feels safe and loved. I trust Keith wholeheartedly with my pets, and I can't recommend him enough. He sends frequent updates through pictures so I'm always updated on what they are doing!”

About: I’ve had dog caring experience over 2yrs. I used to work with my friend who owned a dog caring business. It included boarding, dog walking, play dates and training them. We had all sizes and different breed of dogs. I enjoyed it so much because I love dogs. They are so pure. Also I’m pretty athletic so I can engage in interactive play session with the dogs. Pets are unique individuals. So I can adjust routines based on their specific needs and preferences. I’m currently working part time. I am available dog walking in the mornings until 12pm during weekdays. I can also do boarding on the weekends and house sit on wed, Thursday’s and Sunday’s. I don’t have pets but I’ve had experience to take care of them. Common aspects I consider when I’m taking care of pets are feeding and water, exercise and enrichment, daily care, medication and health management(if needed), safety and security and socialization and attention.

“Clare and Taylor did an amazing job doing drop-in visits and taking care of my two cats. They followed all the instructions I left and took great pictures. I feel safe leaving my cats to them.”

“Tori was amazing! She took all the toy carnage my dogs did in stride and cleaned up the necessary stuff. She followed directions, took them for walks, played with them when they had too much energy, and cleaned an accidental pee spot … which I cannot see. I’d hate to highly recommend her, then not be able to book her for dog care in the future ? Seriously? Amazing work. ?”

“It took a while for me to find a dog sitter for my boy Shep. He's a shy dog but as soon as he met Liz, he opened right up. She's really great at paying attention to his needs. He's an older pup but he's still as spry as ever and He has so much fun with Liz. I highly recommend having her has a dog sitter!”

“I was so lucky to find Rachael! She gave extra care and love to my cats ? Her communication is very clear and friendly. She is a reliable, flexible, and professional cat sitter. I will definitely ask her again!”

“Cameron was very responsive and comfortable with handling my 65 pound dog. My dog also warmed up to him much quicker than he would with the average stranger/sitter. Thank you Cameron for a wonderful session.”

“Ai is amazing with pets and takes great care of them. When dog sitting my little chihuahua, Chewy, Ai was quick to understand when she needed attention, and promptly and carefully fed her at the times I specified, while taking her on frequent walks. My dog was both happy and well-fed when I came back, but I was not surprised since she also sent me cute photos of Chewy while I was on my trip. I couldn’t be more pleased with Ai’s excellent care for my pet, and would recommend Ai as a dog sitter in a heartbeat. Chewy will be very excited the next time she gets to see Ai!”

“Kenneth is a super reliable sitter! We had a different sitter back out at the last minute, and Kenneth was able to come watch our cats with short notice, and he went above and beyond in ensuring they were all right while we were gone. :)”

“Danielle did a wonderful job taking care of my animals. It was a relief knowing I could rely on her. I will definitely use her services in the future if she's available.”

“WE LOVE COLLEEN! :) She has cared for our border collie Frisbee many times over the past two years. We appreciate that our high-energy boy always gets nice, long walks when Colleen visits him. She is also great about remembering and sticking with the commands we use with him.”

“Jessica is a great cat sitter! She was extremely easy to communicate with and setup a meeting time prior to our leave. She kept us well updated with our cat Zelda's activities during her visit?. We definitely recommend her for anyone searching for a pet sitter!”

“Lianne was able to drop in on my kitty with short-notice which we really appreciated. I loved the artsy kitty photos and seeing how well she was taken care of while I was away!”

“Kat is extraordinary with cats! My calico is very shy and when Kat came for the meet/greet she let my cat get to know her by throwing her scarf and glove on the carpet so my cat could get familiar with her scent. My cat came out after only a few minutes and loved her. Kat’s Rover Cards are also something that others should take notes on. Very thorough and put me at ease while out of town. Everyone should hire Kat; what a fantastic job!!”
