House Sitting Downtown

“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”

“Egor was thoughtful, skilled, and caring with our two dogs. He also took good care of our home while we were away. We highly recommend him! Thank you!!”

“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”

Kristin R.

“We re-booked Dahae after having a wonderful experience with her stay the first time. Again, she’s very loving towards the pets making sure they are well taken care of and I appreciated that she sends photos of the animals everyday. She’s very respectful of the home and it was nice to come back to a clean place. Thank you again for taking care of Yoshi and Leo :)”

“Justelle was fantastic and did a great job with our pups! We arrived home and they were clearly very happy :). She took great care of our house as well, sent pics throughout, and replied quickly to all messages. Will absolutely use again and recommend her to everyone!”

“Dale took great care of our older dog who stops eating, refuses to go outside and withdraws when we are away. Dale watched her for 3 days and was patient and kind. She was able to coax her out for potty breaks and short walks. She was calm with our dog, who responds well to that. Dale was great with communication too. Thank you Dale!”

“Jen was so wonderful with our two dogs. She was so good with both and was responsive and easy to work with. She also took very good care of our home while we were away. We would recommend Jen to others and will book her again if schedules allow.”

About: Leave with confidence. Come home to a dog who’s been thoughtfully cared for and a clean, welcoming home. I look after the daily details so you can enjoy your time away, knowing your dog and your home are in experienced hands. I bring more than 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes across North America and Europe, backed by 54 five-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters. Families have trusted me with beloved companions and cherished homes, and I take pride in the lasting relationships we’ve built. I’m also Fear Free Certified and trained in Pet First Aid. For your dog, thoughtful care means familiar routines, patient companionship, and attention to their individual needs. My Fear Free approach focuses on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress by recognising body language, respecting their comfort, and letting trust develop at their pace. From play sessions and enriching walks to gentle support for senior dogs, I tailor my care to your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. For your home, it means treating your space, belongings, and privacy with respect. I’m meticulous about tidying up after myself, following plant-care instructions, and attending to the household details we agree on. My approach is “leave no trace”: returning your home as clean and orderly as I found it, ready for you to settle back in as if you’d never left. That peace of mind starts before you leave. During our meet and greet, we’ll talk through your dog’s habits and needs, home instructions, emergency contacts, and your expectations for the stay. We’ll agree on arrival and departure times and how you’d like to receive updates. While you’re away, you can expect thoughtful messages and photos that show how your dog is doing, along with prompt communication if anything needs your attention. I’d love to hear about your dog, your home, and what an ideal sitting experience would look like for you. Please note: I have a severe cat allergy and can only care for dogs in homes where cats do not live. Please let me know if cats have previously lived in or occasionally visit your home before we arrange a meet and greet. I work remotely as a consultant, which allows me to spend much of the day at home with the dogs in my care. That means regular companionship, time for walks and bathroom breaks, and a familiar presence between activities. I plan each stay around your dog’s established routines, balancing my work with their meals, exercise, rest, and attention. Before confirming a booking, we’ll discuss how long they’re comfortable being alone and any needs that require closer supervision, so we can make sure my schedule is a good fit. We’ll also coordinate arrival and departure times for a thoughtful handover. Whether you’re away for a weekend or several weeks, my aim is to provide a steady, reassuring rhythm for your dog and peace of mind for you. I care for dogs in their own homes, surrounded by familiar scents, favourite resting spots, and the routines they know. As a Fear Free Certified sitter trained in Pet First Aid, I pay attention to both physical safety and emotional comfort. Before you leave, we’ll review your dog’s care instructions, walking equipment, household boundaries, veterinary contacts, and emergency arrangements. I’m careful with doors and gates, follow your handling instructions, and give dogs space from unfamiliar animals on walks. I respect their body language and let affection and trust develop at their pace. You’ll receive thoughtful photo updates and prompt communication about anything concerning. I treat your home, keys, belongings, and privacy with care, follow agreed plant and household instructions, and leave the spaces I use clean and orderly. My goal is for you to feel comfortable handing over the keys—and happy when you come home.

About: I love animals! I have been looking after and taking care of mostly cats and dogs for about 20 years now. I believe I am a very responsible person I will also be very loving towards your pets! I enjoy taking dogs for walks to get their exercise in! I have a reliable form of transportation and am very organized. Being able to leave your beloved pets with someone you trust and know will take good care of them. I know they are practically a part of your family is a major part that I bring into my pet care work. I have a four year-old rescue cat named Margot and I work remotely some days so my schedule is pretty open. I am experienced with old dogs and every personality type. I love all animals and believe they all deserve our love back, by providing a safe and loving environment the animal could be the best version of themselves.

“Anna did a fantastic job as always watching Remy! Remy seems very comfortable with her! I came back home to a happy dog and clean place! Thanks!”

“Nancy did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. It was a tough week. One of our dogs was diagnosed with cancer prior to a vacation and took a turn for the worse while we were away. Nancy went above and beyond taking him to the vet and giving him medication. She kept us up to date with his condition. We would definitely use Nancy again.”

David R.

“Wendy was an amazing! She gave us daily updates on how our little guy was doing. She took the time to take him to several off leash parks. Which he loves! We came home to a happy guy and a clean and orderly house. Thanks Wendy!”

About: I grew up with dogs who I was responsible to care for, as well as pet sitting for neighbors and family member's cats and dogs. As an adult I've lived with a roommate and their cat, who I frequently cared for as my roommates traveled out of town frequently. Next I lived with other roommates and their dogs. As I was working from home, I helped a lot with their care. One dog is very nervous and needs a lot of support and reassurance- I am a naturally a very calm person and good at easing and calming animals. The other dog has had some health issues and required medication schedules as well as closely keeping an eye on his behavior and other indicators of health. I've also done a lot of pet sitting and care for my family, including my aunt's senior dog, and my other aunt's large energetic dogs who love to play. I can easily read cat and dog body language and am very attentive to their moods and needs, as well as maintaining a consistent schedule regarding their food, medication, walks, and cleanliness to reduce their stress levels. I am happy to adjust and meet a pet where they are at! I currently work remotely from home, so I can easily adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet. While house-sitting, I am easily able to work from your home to care for your pet during the day, and stay overnight. I will ask for information about your pet's routine as every pet is different. I am extremely comfortable walking dogs on leashes and harnesses, taking them to dog parks if desired, and playing with them in fenced in fields if you pet likes to play fetch. I understand the importance for some pets of a specific feeding and medication schedule will prioritize that for their well being and happiness. I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets, including daily litter box emptying, and light brushing when needed. I have a calm and gentle disposition a lot of pets appreciate but can also be playful when the pet is energetic. I am quite effective at calming down animals and can read cat and dog body language easily. For some pets, a change in their environment like their owner being gone for a trip can be very stressful but the maintenance of routine in addition to comforting company and attention can relieve that anxiety and keep them happy and thriving until you return!

“Hailey was a great sitter, who consistently updated us and sent plenty of photos of our doggy-dog. She is very genuine and considerate and kind. Recommend 100% of the time.”

“Vanessa house sat for my dog and 2 kittens and did a fantastic job. She went above and beyond and gave u daily photo updates. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”

“Jenna was able to watch our pup Zoey while we were away for the weekend. She did a marvelous job and had such detailed notes for us. Amazing! So appreciated her willingness to work on some training. Zoey was very happy! Would definitely recommend.”

“Veronika was absolutely wonderful to work with when we took a 2-week vacation recently. She was a dream come true while watching our dog and our house and was in constant communication despite an 8-hour time difference. Her care of our dog was impeccable-she picked up on every detail and followed all the instructions so our dog had a totally consistent environment. Veronika has a huge heart for both pets and Owners and I can fully recommend her services. We received 3-4 pictures per day and she always responded to every text; sent questions when needed; let us know if something was happening at the house and supported us with a few small tasks that popped up while we were away. Our dog is sad today now that we are back and Veronika is no longer with her and that pretty much demonstrates how wonderful she was in her care and kindness to our family.”

“Blaca was exceptional! From the moment she stepped into our home, it was clear that we had made the perfect choice for our pet’s care while we were away. Her kindness shone through immediately, putting both us and Lio at ease. Communication was top-notch. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, ensuring we were always in the loop about our dog’s well-being and daily adventures. She was always on time, and we could count on her to follow through with all of our pet care instructions meticulously. It was evident that Blanca has a genuine love for animals. She quickly bonded with our dog, who was always excited to see her – a true testament to her warm and caring nature. We highly recommend Blanca to any pet owner looking for a reliable, communicative, and loving caregiver for their pet. She is truly a gem in the world of pet care.”

About: Hi! My name is Marshall, and I have been walking dogs since 1999, when I got my first one. He was a Shetland Sheepdog named Guinness, and I have been in love ever since. I also used to own a rescue dog named Spire who was half Australian Shepherd and looked just like me. Unfortunately, in my current situation, I am not allowed to own a dog, so I love it when I get to look after my sisters's puppy, Oliver. I go on walks by myself most days, and I would love to bring your dog along! Over the summer, my schedule is wide open! During the school year, I work as a substitute teacher, so I will still have some time on evenings, weekends and other breaks. I have always taken good care of pets of every size, type and personality. Dogs love me and cats tolerate me. Yours will be in good hands.

“Wesley took great care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! We received lots of cute photos and they were quick to communicate how things were going. They also left our house very clean!”
