This was our second time having Madeleine care for our dog while we were traveling. I cannot say enough good things about her. She takes such great care of our dog as well as our home. She goes above and beyond!

Sergey is a wonderful, kind man and took excellent care of our home and pets while we were out of town. Our cat needs a pill and a inhaler and he was completely unbothered. Will absolutely book with him again.

Megan stayed with our dog, Margot, and was excellent. Our dog can be unfriendly to other dogs and Megan followed our instructions to a tee! I can’t recommend her enough. Margot was happy and healthy when we returned and Megan was communicative with photos throughout the stay. So happy we booked Megan!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.

Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.

About: Longtime dog lover and owner, current parent of a 9-year-old Siberian Husky service dog whom I trained to myself. I love dogs of all sizes and shapes and personalities and I can't wait to meet all the wonderful furkids that I'll be looking after in the future. I'm always telling people "I may have trouble remembering your name, but I will always remember your pet's name." Though I am small in stature I'm actually quite strong and can handle large/muscular dogs (and the occasional feral cat when necessary), because I just know how to move with them/guide them. I'm also not intimidated by aggressive behavior in animals, nor do I meet it with aggression in return. I always try to calm the animal and figure out the issue, putting myself between them and anyone/anything that might upset them further. I have a personality/presence that dogs seem to love, from the timid to the social, the calm to the active. I'm a fast walker, so your dog will certainly get a workout they'll love as they keep pace with me, but I can also meander when needed for the older dogs and fumbling puppies. I have experience doing basic grooming for dogs: bathing, brushing, shaving away mats, clipping nails, trimming the fur between pawpads, brushing teeth, and cleaning ears. I do not have experience doing "style" cuts for dogs. I know snake pet care as well, so feel free to inquire if you need someone to look after your danger noodle! Pet care is my primary work focus right now as I work through completing my online schooling towards getting my degree and Vet Tech licence. I have a backyard for your dog to play in alongside my very friendly Husky. It's not fenced in, but I keep a spare long-lead on-hand, same kind as I use for my girl, for guest dogs. If your dog is an especially strong one please let me know and I'll make sure to have an lead appropriate for your dogs weight strength available. Inside the house is dog-friendly and spacious, and I can crate your dog if needed. My dog is allowed on the couch and my bed, so do let me know if those are no-go areas for your dog. If your cat likes outside time I can provide walks and/or put them out in the backyard on the spare long-lead.

We hired Sami to look after our 11yo staffi Uzi over the Christmas break. Sami was very responsive and they took the best care of Uzi. They kept us informed daily, and paid close attention to Uzi’s health as she is very old and has cancer. Sami took great care of our house as well and we’d definitely hire them again if need be. Uzi is reactive with other dogs and Sami still agreed to watch her and walk her in our dog-filled neighborhood. Thanks again to them!

Elise was SO fantastic with our super shy guy Leon. He usually takes awhile to warm up to new people, but they were cuddling and going on walks super quick! She took great care of him, took him on tons of walks, and even cleaned our house before she left. Above and beyond - definitely will be using Elise again!

Highly recommend Maddie! She was fantastic with my elderly dog, Oliver, who has separation anxiety. During our initial visit, she was wonderful with him and asked detailed questions to understand his needs. ​Throughout my entire work trip, Maddie was highly communicative and sent regular photo updates, giving me total peace of mind. I returned to a clean house and a very comfortable, happy dog. It is rare to find someone who provides this level of specialized care, patience, and affection. I will absolutely use Maddie again!

“Everything went really smoothly with Meagan” said Clover when being interviewed after the weekend. “Belly rubs, treats and cuddles were top notch. Though the guy that normally rubs my belly wasn’t hear, I barely even noticed since Meagan was clearly a pro. She took care of me and my little heart condition awesomely”, she continued. From that guy that is normally around, thanks for making that part of my quick weekend away stress free.

Elise was wonderful. There were a few bumps in the road the first day (on my side) she handled calmly and effortless. I came home to a very happy dog (she is a rescue and not happy being left alone so when she was not anxious when I got back that is a plus) and my house was spotless.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Lydia! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and messages, and it was obvious our dog was so loved and well cared for while we were away. Super reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We came home to a happy pup and total peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had to leave town unexpectedly, and Jenna jumped in to help us on very short notice, which we were incredibly grateful for. Our dog Jun is a pretty anxious boy, so we were definitely nervous leaving him with someone without all of us meeting in person first, but Jenna immediately made us feel comfortable. She was super responsive, communicative, and thoughtful the whole time. Jun looked relaxed and comfy in the photos she sent, which really eased a lot of our stress while we were away. When we got back, he looked happy, healthy, and very well taken care of. Really grateful for how quickly she stepped in and took such great care of our furry boy. We’d absolutely book with her again.

Erin was absolutely wonderful and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for a full week. She took incredible care of our two greyhounds and cat, kept up with all of their routines, and was extremely thoughtful and attentive the entire stay. We especially appreciated the regular photo and text updates — it made it so much easier to relax knowing everyone was happy, comfortable, and loved. She also took amazing care of our home, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond with little details like refreshing frozen Kongs, washing linens, and making sure the dogs were settled before leaving. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and had an accident while Erin was out, and she handled it with total kindness and understanding. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and pays attention to their personalities and needs. We came home to happy pets and a well cared-for house and would absolutely book with her again.
