This is our second time booking Sam - Sam provided daily updates with photos, clearly gave lots of cuddles and time to our babies while we were away. House looks great and she is a phenomenal sitter, we trust her and our dogs enjoy her company, walks, and play time while she's here.

Abigail was an amazing sitter. We immediately felt comfortable with her from the moment she met our pup. She had great communication and gave our pup all the love. Would highly recommend to anyone with any type of pet, her background gives her great experience and she is a sitter to be trusted.

My partner and I would absolutely hire Emerson again. He was on time, professional, and Jelly took to him instantly. Throughout our trip, he communicated regularly and was incredibly patient with Jelly, especially when she was testing him in the beginning. He won her over quickly, and from that point on, the entire stay went smoothly. We never had to worry about Jelly—she was clearly in good hands. Emerson followed every instruction, so there were no accidents or issues. When our flight was delayed, he reassured us without hesitation that he could stay longer and continue caring for her, which was such a relief. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. What stood out most was how laser‑focused he was on Jelly’s needs and his demeanour was kind and compassionate. That’s exactly what we needed, and he delivered it with care and professionalism.

Ciboney was terrific with my elderly Rat Terrier and cat. It’s obvious that she knows dogs and seems unfazed by their specific needs. My cat warmed up to her - no easy accomplishment - and was a fan by the end of her stay. I came home to relaxed, happy animals. I will definitely invite her back and your pets will be in competent, caring hands.

About: I grew up on a farm and have fiercely loved all the pets I've ever had. I have lots of empathy for pets, especially when they have to be separated from their family. I'm a stay home mom, so pet care fits right into my routine. I'm mostly home 24/7, so I have lots of time to play and cuddle. I have a good sized fenced in backyard. We have two friendly (and sometimes shy) cats who get along well with dogs and other cats.

Connie is an incredible house/Cat Sitter. She took care of our kitty like she was her own and did the same with our home.. Every day we got pictures and videos and could tell that Connie was really interacting successfully with our somewhat shy, sweet pet. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gem!!

Haley was absolutely incredible with Gypsy (11 yr old anxious reacue dog) and Raya (5 yr old Ragamuffin attention magnet). From the very first complimentary meet and greet, I could tell she was professional and genuinely invested. She came prepared, took detailed notes, asked for emergency contacts, confirmed which vet to use in case of emergency, and made sure she had exact medication dosages. She even asked about each dog’s specific quirks so she could support them in the way they’re used to. That level of thoroughness meant everything to me. Communication during the stay was wonderful. She sent regular photo updates and kept me posted on how they were doing, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated my home with so much care, and I came back to a house that was cleaner than when I left it. She even left the sweetest little coaster as a gift that I found after she left. It said “Sweet Kitten,” and it was such a thoughtful, personal touch. For context, I am a very cautious pet parent, and Gypsy is extremely anxious when separated from me. This was the first time I have ever left them with anyone outside of family, so I was understandably nervous. Haley handled it beautifully. Gypsy was calm, comfortable, and clearly felt safe. I did not worry once all weekend. I truly knew they were in loving, capable hands. Haley is sweet, responsible, attentive, and a joy to work with. And, for those that perhaps run a little late, Haley was able to be flexible with my arrival back home as well. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet parent, especially those with anxious pups who need extra care and sensitivity.

Ciboney was amazing with my two dogs - one of them has some behavioral issues and she handled it like a champ. She even managed to bond with my standoffish cattle dog as well! He loves her. Communication was clear and consistent, and it was the first time in a while I felt at ease while leaving my dogs on a trip. Will definitely rebook!

It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!

Natalie stayed at our house for a week to care for our 6 month old kitten and our drama queen of a 2 year old dog. She was so patient and made accomodations for our anxious dog and "toddler" cat. Our house was well cared for and we had such great peace of mind being out of state for a week knowing she was there. We received a perfect amount of updates and pictures. Natalie was a total professional and we would highly recommend her.
