“Sarah is AMAZING! She was extremely flexible with start and end times. I appreciated that she came over to meet the boys prior to the dates I needed her to watch them. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me updated on how things were going. I would definitely recommend her, and will be rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Sarah!”

“Molly was a joy to meet, we were both instantly aware she was a great fit to pet sit our 4 fur babies - 2 cats 2 dogs - she's sweet, kind, warm, with a gentle spirit and my pets were immediately attached to her - my Corgi didn't leave her side the entirety of the meet and greet(s). She has amazing attention to detail and appreciated my very long and extensive 'note' of instructions! She never hesitated to take care of everything for the entire stay, and if she had a question she reached out. My home was exactly how it was left when we returned from our vacation, and my pets very happy and content. Also she's wonderful at sending pictures of my fur babies throughout the visit. I would definitely recommend Molly as a pet / house sitter!!”

“We had a great experience with Michaela who house sat with our kitty Chickadee. Michaela stayed in touch frequently and sent us lots of updates and photos. It was very reassuring to see that things were going so well. Michaela is clearly an animal lover -- our kitty warmed up to her right away. She is warm and friendly, responsible and communicative, and we felt very comfortable having her in our home. We had such peace of mind knowing Chickadee was in her care while we were away. We will definitely call upon Michaela again. I recommend her highly.”

About: I have done lots of dog and cat sitting for longer periods of time, puppy training, dog walking and loving my own two adorable furbabies! I am a University student who has classes during the week with usual open afternoons and evenings (with some sporadic hours during the day for walks!), along with completely open weekends. I will learn their routine and follow any instructions the owner has given. Dogs are creatures of habit and doing everything as close to normal as possible will keep them comfy and stress free!

“If I could give Nina 10 stars, I absolutely would! Recently, I had the pleasure of entrusting my two German Shepherds to Nina's care, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first communication, I felt completely confident that my dogs were in the best possible hands. Nina's professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine love for animals are truly exceptional. Throughout her time with my pups, Nina provided regular updates twice a day – morning and evening – which was the perfect amount. The photos and videos she sent gave me immense peace of mind, knowing my pets were happy and well-cared for. It was evident from the updates that Nina prioritized my dogs' needs and routines with impeccable attention to detail. My dogs not only received plenty of exercise and took their medicine as needed, but they also enjoyed lots of love and cuddles. Even my shy pup quickly warmed up to Nina, relishing every moment of their time together. We returned home to very content dogs and a spotless house. Nina is not just a dog sitter; she is a true animal lover who treats your pets as if they were her own. If you are searching for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitter, look no further than Nina. She is simply the best!”

“What we most loved about Hailey was how quickly our animals took to her — our dogs were leaning against her within minutes, and even the cats who hide came out and let her pet them the very first night! It was comforting to leave our pets in the care of someone who clearly loves and understands animals. And though we ended up rushed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to orient her, she perfectly remembered and followed all instructions. We've already booked her again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and sat for dogs for years. I enjoy experiencing their sniff of curiosity on walks, getting them riled up for a game of catch or just being a buddy to keep them company while their owners are out. I am to ensure quality and loving care for all pooches. I am currently working part time with an adaptable schedule. I enjoy making new furry friends. I am available to dog sit during the week and go for walks on the weekends. Early afternoons preferred but open to accommodate most schedule needs! I like to meet dogs where they are and approach with care and respect. It can take time to get to know a new face, so i bring a friendly and patient tone to meeting pups. (Snack gifts can also help, if allowed for your dogs diet)

“Laura is fantastic, highly recommended! We were away in Europe for (2) weeks and Laura would send photos and updates along the way so we could see the pups. I missed them so much while I was gone so it was great to get the photos. She took wonderful care of our (2) Husky's and the house. We already booked Laura for another upcoming trip for 2019. So glad we found her.”

Jade was fantastic! She house-sat for our two dogs and did an amazing job. She was responsible, followed all of our directions and preferences perfectly, and kept us updated throughout the stay. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we returned, and the house was left clean and as we left it. She was flexible, very responsive, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
