“This is our second time using Judy and first time with a second dog! This was a trial run for our new dog who is very nervous and shy and by the second day she was showing her belly to Judy! She did great with both of them and provided plenty of updates. We hope Judy will watch our pups as long as she'll have us (:”


“Rosa was great with Lilly and very flexible. She checked in regularly and Lilly had a great time. I would absolutely recommend her and Lilly will be visiting again for sure.”


“Lindsey was exceptional! We were away for over two weeks, and our dog had the best time staying at her home with her dogs. She provided great updates, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Lindsey is truly passionate about caring for dogs, and it shows in every detail. We will absolutely be rebooking!”


“Frank did an exceptional job taking care of our puppy. On the way home, she shared how attentive (her words!!!) and caring he is. He even has a magical way of creating an open parking space right when it's time to drop her off. Highly recommend Frank for taking care of your fur baby : )”


“I can’t recommend enough Kellwin for doing an amazing job, taking care of Khloe. From the very beginning communication was clear and prompt. He created a space for dog parents new to Rover to ask questions and share information. Throughout the entire stay we received regular updates and the cutest pictures of Khloe that helped ease our minds. It was clear that Khloe was happy and in great hands. Should there ever be another need for dog sitting, we will be looking to rebook with Kellwin. Thank you again for taking such great care of Khloe.”


“Tina and her husband took wonderful care of my Lucy. They were quick to respond/schedule a meet and greet and were very receptive of all of Lucy’s personality quirks. They were flexible with drop off/pick up, provided great updates, and were very communicative. Lucy will definitely be back!”



“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”


“Our dog was very well taken care of, and we never had to worry about him. We were given updates throughout the day of how he was doing and any questions we had she was able to answer them for us. Would definitely use her again!”

“THANK YOU WENDY!!!! For taking such good care of my Zoey. Wendy is an great dog sitter. She was so attentive to Zoe. I loved how she took Zoe on walks and sent me pictures and or videos. Zoe was happy every day that she was with Wendy😁 Again, I say thank you!!!”


About: I’m a strong believer that structured, fun walks, socialisation and positive experiences are essential for a dog’s day to day well-being. I’m here to help you provide your dog with the exercise and positive interactions they need. I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have experience as a dog walker and sitter on and off. Throughout this time, I’ve learned that, like us, every dog is a different individual, and I’ll ensure to provide the appropriate mental and physical support for a well-balanced routine. I have recently completed successfully a Pet First Aid Course Certification. And I’m studying and practicing Canine Behaviour and Psychology. Most importantly, I’m passionate about our pets and there’s nothing more important for me that to make them feel safe and comfortable! I’m currently studying part time while also doing some volunteering locally, so I have most of my days and hours available to pick up - walk and drop-off your dog. If at your place/home, I’ll make sure that everything stays as it is and follow your dogs routine and care. Occasionally, at my apartment, I’ll make sure introducing the environment in the correct way for your and my dog. I have a small apartment where I live with my Yorkie, so I can host small to medium sized breeds overnight, or any sized if needed for a few hours break.

“Wonderful with our little old girl . Took great care of her and sent adorable pics letting us know how she was doing during her stay. Responds quickly to texts which is a plus ! Highly recommend and will definitely use again for our puppers !”


“Ally and Vanshil took great care of Maddy while I was away. They sent lots of great photos and made sure my dog got all the attention and exercise she needs. They are always available to communicate and made the whole process stress free. I’d recommend them to anyone and will be booking with them again!”

“Nandita was the best dog sitter we ever had. she sent us pictures and videos daily usually even more than once. She took the best care of our Bernese Mountain dog. She made sure to ask all of the questions and meet us before watching her for the week. We appreciate the detailed care she took to our girl. Knowing that she was safe, made it easy to relax on vacation.”


“Cooper had a great time with Judith and her family. We booked Judith for a last minute doggy daycare and I felt comfortable leaving cooper with her right off the bat. Will definitely use her again.”
