“Erika did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs in our home. The dogs liked her, and she seemed to like them.. She sent pictures regularly. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Our greyhound, a picky eater, ate all of her meals. We got a full report from Erika at the end of her stay. It was so nice not to worry about our dogs or our home when we were gone for 6 nights.”
“Jordyn was amazing! She was great at communicating and sent photos a few times a day. She didn’t mind answering the million questions I had prior to staying with my dog. I would definitely use her again.”
“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tony. From the very beginning he was responsive to texts. When he came for the meet and greet my dogs did so well. I have never seen them be so clam with someone for the first time. He had a very calming affect on them. For the stay he had great communication, sent so many pictures and kept my boys happy and healthy. I will not hesitate to have him stay and again and couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”
“Mark is a great sitter that my family has used twice now! The animals love Mark and I'm always getting updates with pictures of them for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.
“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs. She communicated well, responded fast and followed our directions. She sent daily pictures and I could tell the dogs were well looked after. It’s easy to see she is great with animals! We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Jaqueline watched our pup while we were out of town and was amazing at keeping us updated and following our instructions. Our dog is a little needy and is used to be around us all the time so leaving him is stressful for all of us. We highly recommend Jaqueline to take care of your pets.”
“Samantha is an amazing pet sitter! She was very responsive sending photos of my pups and updates multiple times a day. I felt completely comfortable having her care for my two dogs. I will absolutely have her come again. Thanks Samantha!!”
“Cadence was a blessing! She was a perfect match for us and our 2 sphynx kittens, I'm sure they were so happy to spend the time with Cadence. We will definitely reach out to request her for our next trip, thank you Cadence for being a great loving sister and for keeping our home tidy. Looking forward to the next time!”
“Justin did a wonderful job taking care of my social cat and sweet golden! The pets were calm and happy when I returned. Justin stepped in at the last minute and was very flexible. He sent me many photos and updates! Thank you so much Justin! I will call again in the future.”
