Elissa was a great sitter for our 13 week old pup. She took her time to meet and get comfortable with our puppy. She was in constant communication with us throughout the day and sent us pictures and updates on her behavior. We felt really comfortable leaving her in our house and everything was kept neat and tidy. We would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.

Andrew was great with Toby and Harley. He kept me updated on how they were doing. Sent photos and videos showing that all was well. Was excellent with Harley the more reserved of the 2. He has care and concern for the pets in hi his care. Both Harley and Toby enjoyed having Andrew as their sitter. I would recommend Andrew !!!!

Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.

Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!

From start to finish, Gordon did an excellent job. He was right on time, took excellent care of my dog Pepe, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures that truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Pepe was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Gordon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

In short -- Tina was amazing. Havok (my older, timid, small rescue dog) is usually worried about new people, but from the first moment they met i knew everything would be fine while i was away. Tina let Havok walk up to her and it was "friends at first sniff". Tina asked if it would be ok to sit on the floor with Havok for a few mins -- with small dogs this is a great way to gain trust, by meeting them at their level -- and Havok had a few more sniffs and climbed into her lap. Perfect! While i was away, i had many pictures throughout the days about their fun activities (walks and outtings), but also of feedings and cuddle time (Havok's favourite pasttime is cuddling on a friendly lap). With a heart murmur, Havok requires medication in the morning and at night -- Tina was more than ready to administer the necessary pills. Further, I mixed up the days I was going to be away, and Tina was able to make time for Havok for an additional day! Overall, i cannot say enough good things about the care my little dog received while i was away -- i knew at all times that Havok was getting love and care and this was an immense relief for me. Of course i will be booking with her again when i am away next and would encourage anyone needing a responsible, caring and professional dog sitter to do the same. Thank you again, Tina!

I cannot recommend Leticia enough! It was evident that she has a genuine love for animals. She spent time with Ollie and Rain and made sure to follow my care instructions perfectly. I received regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were impressive, and I truly felt that my pets were in the best hands. I will definitely be using their services again in the future! If you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, look no further!

Cassie was an excellent sitter for our dog Bear! It was a slightly last minute booking and she made time for a meet and greet. She sent pictures throughout the stay. And when our flight was rerouted due to weather, she stayed extra hours beyond what we had booked. She truly went above and beyond. Thanks Cassie!

She followed the instructions I left for her and even left us a cute note to give us an update on Kimbo. We will definitely reach out again to use her help and would recommend her to anyone!

About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, evening house sitting, and walks. I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I have a fairly flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends for House sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking! Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.

I wish I could give 100 stars! Kevin is just amazing, he communicates any needs and is so great with all our asks of him. We get plenty of photos where our dogs just look so happy to have him. He walks them daily (we didn’t even ask for that) and sends photos of the cuddles and love they get while we are gone. Our house is always so clean, and he runs the laundry so we don’t have to. He’s literally perfect. Our vacations are just that, vacations, knowing he was here let us enjoy everyday. Thank you so much Kevin!!!

Valerie did a great job taking housesitting and taking care of our animals (dog & cats). The house was in good order and she sent photos and regular reports via chat. We know how our animals are and the reports were right on track with what experience - the good and the moody! - which added a lot of trust on our part. Definitely recommend Valerie!

James was wonderful with Brio. Our much loved dog gets anxious and grumpy when we leave him in someone else's care, so we were delighted to see videos of Brio playing in the yard early in our trip. James was just the reassuring presence Brio needed! We were truly appreciative of his care, and look forward to having him back.

Cannot recommend Izabella more highly! She stayed in our home with our 5 year old Cavachon and within a couple of days they became besties. Izabella took great care of him, and she sent pics a couple times a day and was very responsive via text as well. When we saw a pic of him curled up on her lap, we knew we found a wonderful sitter as that is Sonny's highest compliment. Thanks again, Izabella!

We can't even put into words how amazing Andrea is. We realized at the very last minute that our mom's regular dog sitter wouldn't be avaialable for our yearly vacation. Bella is 15, and has had her share of health issues. We were in such a panic, because we love her so much and didn't want to leave her with just anyone. We booked 3 meet and greets and crossed our fingers. When we met Andrea and all our worries melted away! We canceled the other meet and greets. She was WONDERFUL from the first moment. Bella took to her right away. Andrea just has this way about her, she made Bella, my mom, and us feel comfortable immediately. She was so caring and atttentive. During the trip, we recieved detailed updates, pictures, and videos constantly, and you could tell how happy Bella was in the pictures. It made our hearts so happy. Our sister stopped by to check in during the week and called to say she couldn't believe how incredible Andrea was with Bella. We feel so lucky to have found her, and we give her our highest recommendation!!!!!!

Bridget was the best!!! We went to Italy for 9 days and were super nervous to leave our fur babies behind but she took such good care of them as if they were her own! She cared for our golden retriever puppy like a pro, including when he developed a hot spot the first few days we were gone and she easily took him to the vet to get him medicated and get everything all cleared up! She also took care of our two cats with such love and caring. She left our house spotless and sent us texts and videos daily checking in - her communication was amazing. Highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her in the future!!
