“Kristen's home is extremely welcoming and attentive to our Barney. She made sure to send updated pictures frequently easing all anxiousness or reservation I have every time I have to be away from my dog. From the pictures it was evident Barney was having a great time during his stay. Absolutely 100% recommend Kristen to watch over your precious pet.”


“Angelo and Pina took really good care of Chance. They really paid attention to the small details and took a lot of care making my dog feel secure and engaged the entire time. They are awesome!!!”


“Trisha was great with my two young labs. She sent pics and updates which was very appreciated as this was the first time they stayed away from home.”


“I absolutely loved leaving Josie with Vanya and her family. From the moment I arrived at their house, to the moment I picked my sweet baby up, I felt completely comfortable. Vanya and her family made me feel like an extension of the family. Their house was warm and welcoming. The constant pictures of Josie doing various things throughout the day were adorable and heart warming. When picking Josie up, Vanya's son was saying bye to Josie like she was his own dog. Truly I do not think I could have been more impressed by a family and I will use this family again and again due to the amazing experience.”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have adopted many rescues. I have been an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. I have participated in many fundraisers for homeless animals and advocated for animal welfare. I have experience walking dogs for the Humane Society and have experience pet sitting. I continue to fundraise for the Humane Society, Annex Cat Rescue and the Canada Cuba Pet Rescue. I was fortunate to have a pet sitter and dog walker I could trust and who loved my pets. I want to provide that for others now that I have time. I will care for your pet as I would my own. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to spend with your dog or cat. My schedule is flexible on weekdays as well as weekends. I am able to care for pets in your home as well as my own. My home is clean, safe, smoke free, pet free and no children. I have a good neighbourhood for walking and fenced in backyard.

“Sandra took really great care of Max and kept me updated on how he was doing. It made the trip a lot more enjoyable to know he was in good hands!!”
