I can't trust anyone more with my cats than Aaron. He's always responsive and sends lots of photos during the visits. It's a pleasure working with him.

We’re ecstatic to get Christine for cat pet sitting. Her care is beyond basic. My cat is older and required medication and fluids and Christine handled that very well. She was consistent with her timing and visits. I really enjoyed all the journaling and pictures of their visits while I was away. Christine has a great sense of animals and offers intelligent advice from her experiences.

Mara grew up caring for animals, dogs, cats and birds. She is very responsible and cautious in her care and has cared for my animals many times over the years. Dogs and cats respond well to her. She has a calm and compassionate demeanor. I would not hesitate to use her as a sitter or walker. Sharon C

Alyssa was a reliable and warm petsitter, helping my shy older cat feel at ease. She was flexible when I needed to add an additional visit, and did a great job giving my cat her pill. She was very communicative, and her updates and pictures helped me relax while I was away.

Amazing auntie to our kitty boy while we were away for a weekend. She was very responsive and left amazing detailed notes during each visit. Ollie was a happy boy upon return! We didn’t get a chance to meet before the booking, but trusted her 100% after. We’ve already rebooked with Hershini again!

Tai took great care of our many pets - 2 cats, a parrot, a snake, and a large freshwater fish tank. I felt like Tai really cared about earning the trust of our "zoo" and followed all our directions really well. One thing that stood out was Tai's focus on building trust with our anxious cats and skeptical bird. Normally, our cats don't even come out for pet sitters but one actually came out for Tai which really means a lot. Personally, Tai was really communicative with us as well and made sure that we stayed up to date on the most important things. Tai was comfortable and patient with our animals' health and behavioral needs and I plan on working with them again!!

I hired Jane to petsit/walk my dog, Shadow. I normally am very hesitant to trust my dog with other people, as Shadow is a very skittish dog and distrusting of strangers (he is a rescue). However, Jane was able to win Shadow over with her calm energy and the pet sitting went well. I will definitely use Jane again when I go on a trip - she is extremely reliable and loves animals!

Jennifer is who you want to watch your pup! My dog can be high maintenance, reactive, and requires a lot of excercise and she handled all of his needs perfectly! Jennifer stayed with Moose for two weeks and by the end he was obsessed with her and she loved him as much as I do! If you have to leave your baby behind, trust that they will be in good hands with Jennifer!

Doreen was INCREDIBLE!! We had not been able to leave our sweet girly at home recently without her having some anxiety so it was important to us to find someone who made her feel comfortable and that was so apparent with Doreen. She loved and took care of our baby girl like she was our own and we can’t recommend her enough! 10/10 experience

Mitch is an amazing pet caregiver. I’ve entrusted him to take care of my two kitties for days on end while I was away. He loves my cats like I do and often tries to claim them as his own… He treats animals with respect but still dotes on them. Besides pet care, Mitch is also super amicable and understands the perfect level of communication to make you feel at ease.

I have known Amanda for quite some time, and in that time she has proven herself to be a loving, caring and dependable person as well as pet sitter. I know I can always rely on her, and have peace of mind, knowing that my dogs are in the very best hands when she is with them. They were always lovingly looked after and given her full attention. I would highly recommend Amanda.

Whether it's his attention to detail in following specific care instructions or his natural ability to connect with pets, Marco is truly exceptional. His experience with a range of dogs, from puppies to seniors, makes him a versatile and trustworthy choice for any pet parent. If you're looking for someone who will care for your furry friend as if they were their own, Marco is your go-to guy!

About: Since birth, I have been surrounded by all types of animals varying in breeds, sizes and types of personalities. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and groom their pets for various lengths of period. Having always been surrounded by dogs; mainly Cocker Spaniels, German Shepherds and Jack Russells, after six month of living alone I bought my own pup, Bella. Two year later, I got a second addition, Trixie. I have taken care of dogs and cats as young as a few days old till they are classed as seniors. Both myself and partner work from home, so we have plenty of time to take your dogs out for walks and play time. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog/dogs company and we have walks 3 times a day along with additional potty breaks. I can easily crate your dog if needing space or place them in our spare room if needed.
