“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”
About: I live a very active lifestyle, so I would be able to give your pet an excellent level of activity, comfort, and care. I’ve always believed pets thrive when they stay engaged and exercised, and I’m here to make sure your dog gets just that. Whether your dog needs a brisk jog, a fun play session, or a calm walk around the neighborhood, I match their energy.. and more! I treat every pet like my own and their safety + happiness are my top priorities. I’m only working part-time right now, so I have plenty of room around my schedule to work with your pets. I have the most time in the morning and late afternoon/early evening, so I can even house sit for your pet! I treat all pets with respect and I give full attention to their needs and routine. I’m a quick learner, so if there’s any particular instruction that needs to be addressed, I will adapt to that with ease.
“Meaghan has watched my puppy, Buck a few times now while I travel and she is great! Very reliable, responsible and considerate! I feel super comfortable leaving my guy with her and highly recommend booking with her!”
“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”
“Wen took great care of our 2 year old dog Finn. She was communicative throughout the stay, treated our house with respect and sent lots of photos while we were away. She made sure to take him on long walks as well! Finn can be timid and nervous and first and she was very good with him. Thanks again!!”
“Rachael take great care of our dog and home while we were away! We appreciated coming home to a happy dog and clean home. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Vanessa house sat for our dog and did a wonderful job. She was attentive to detail to ensure he had all of his usual comforts. She was flexible and able to accommodate our schedule when it changed, and she provided us with regular updates throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Shalese is amazing! She made me feel super comfortable leaving my reactive dog for a few days and they got along so well! Will definitely book any time I need someone to watch my girl.”
“Stephanie was brilliant. She was so trustworthy and caring towards our 3 dogs. One is very sensitive and it was not an easy job. Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”
“Tam was an absolutely fabulous sitter. She stayed with our dog over the Christmas holidays and took wonderful care of him — she took him on long walks, played with him at home, and made sure he was well looked after. She also kept us up to date every day to give us a peace of mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough — she was a true joy to have look after our dog, and we’ll make sure to book her again when we’re out of town next!”
“Paul did a great job caring for my dog and communicating while I was out of town. Having a large dog finding proper care has always been a concern, but with Paul there was no reason to worry! He provided regular updates, was responsive at all times of the booking, and took great care of my dog. 10/10!”
“This wasn’t the first time Camilla took care of my dog and it won’t be the last! Camilla is wonderful with my dog, a great communicator and always pleasant. I am able to travel with peace of mind knowing Camilla is taking care of my dog.”
“Ashley was great! She watched our dog and cat for a long weekend and stayed at our house during that time. I received updates when we were away that kept me assured that all was well, and we returned to a happy dog, content cat, and clean house. We would definitely have Ashley watch our animals again!”
“Ella was a lifesaver! She helped me last minute so I could go to an event. She took wonderful care of my Benji, sent me many pictures, and was an excellent communicator. I will absolutely recommend her and use her services in the future!”
“Shane watched our elderly English Bulldog for two weeks and was great. He was very responsive and made sure our dog had everything she needed. I would highly recommend Shane if you’re looking for someone to watch you dog.”
“Hello! I'm a friend of Ava's, and she came over to visit me and my partner the day before I was supposed to bring home a 4 month old kitten. The breeder informed us at the last second, however (while she was eating lunch with us), that we would have to pick him up a day early. This was an issue for me, because I needed to be gone for 5 hours the next day at my niece's birthday party, and I didn't want to leave my new kitten for that long within 24 hours of bringing him home. Ava very generously offered at that moment to stay the night and watch our little baby Pishi while I was seeing my niece the next day. Not only that, since we didn't expect to bring him home early, we hadn't finished cat-proofing the apartment yet. Ava not only offered to cat sit at the last minute, but she also helped us prepare the apartment to make sure it was a safe and clean place for Pishi to arrive. All this is a testament to how caring and thoughtful Ava is, not only as a friend but as a lover of animals. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby boy, and Pishi LOVES his Auntie Ava. I am certain she would treat anyone else's pets with the same level of care as Pishi was so lucky to receive so early in his time with us.”
“Viktorija is an exceptional dog sitter! She went above and beyond when my dog suddenly developed a stomach bug, cleaning up after accidents and even picking up medication. She handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Highly recommend!”

Brady, our beloved German Shephard absolutely adored Lukas:) We always knew he was in good hands when we traveled.
