“Kimberly was great with Peaches. She obviously has experience with dogs and obviously loves dogs. She was great to come to our home the day before our first booking for a "meet and greet" to find out where we live, to meet Peaches and to make arrangements for access for the next day. We learned that she lives right around the corner and often bike rides in our neighborhood. That made us feel very comfortable to allow her access to our home, and to put Peaches in her care. She showed up, on time, walked and played with Peaches twice the day of the booking as we had arranged. We were pleased and would definitely use her again.”


“Hayley Jo was there for me and my cat Nan when I had to make a last-minute work trip! She was incredibly communicative, and spent lots of meaningful time with Nan while I was away.”



“Stacey once again did an exceptional job taking care of our boys. She provided thorough updates and plenty of sweet photos. I never questioned if our boys were being well cared for. She also went above and beyond by watering our plants. We are happy to have someone reliable and that our cats feel comfortable with when we are away. Thanks Stacey!”


“Thank you again Nishat. We highly recommend Nishat to watch your pets. Our kitties were happy and so are we. Even though we don’t have strict time expectations, Nishat was prompt every day with pictures!”


“Absolutely wonderful, great with my puppy and actively trains her on their walks as well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for drop ins for their dog!!”


About: Animal lover with flexible schedule, calm and patient energy. I'm very active so available for long walks or runs! Always attentive to details and specifics for each pet in my care. I'm a full-time creative (painter and graphic designer), so I enjoy setting my own schedule and can easily accommodate to your pet's needs during various times of day. I can work remotely and this allows me to be available more often. I am comfortable learning each pet's needs in their home environments, and adjusting to what makes them feel most comfortable. Happy to come to you so that your pet can experience their typical daily routines.

“Jesika is WONDERFUL! We were able to enjoy time away knowing our dog, Penny, was in such capable hands. Jesika is an outstanding communicator, she goes above and beyond, and Penny absolutely adored her! Thank you Jesika!”


About: I am an animal lover who specializes in enrichment walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. I have a completely flexible schedule and I’ll be solely focused on Rover this summer and growing this business. I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. My pet passed in February due to old age and so we have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into, and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.


“Karen and Steve were great with Crosby. He had only been there one other time, but ran to the door and settled right in. This is not his typically behavior. We had a 100% confidence he was well taken care of and will definitely book again.”


“Julie was great! Our kitty Ripley was happy and well taken care of! Julie did exactly what we needed and asked for. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday and not have to worry about if Ripley kitty was okay. Julie was easy to communicate with and checked in so we were sure all was well. We would absolutely reach out and trust Julie to check in on Ripley again. Thank you Julie!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and pets since I was a teenager and love spending time with animals! I am attentive and energetic to ensure your pet is well cared for and feeling at home. I have gone through the puppy stage with two family dogs recently and am open to any aged dog. I work remotely Monday through Friday, with a flexible schedule, and am available to give your pet all the love and attention :). I look forward to hearing from you! I work full time from home with a flexible schedule to allow for time spent on pets :). I like to get out of the house for walks myself a few times a day and would welcome any furry friend to join! I ensure your dog feels at home and pay attention to their unique needs offering outside play time as well as inside play time, and walks if desired! I am flexible to adjust to any dog’s routine.

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner and have enjoyed the experience of teaching my daughters the joys and responsibilities of caring for our dogs. As lead parent, I've been passionate about opting for daily outdoor adventures with my daughters and dogs and have often heard, "Boy, you have your hands full!", to which I have always replied, "I need to keep everybody happy somehow." Romps on the beach or marsh, trail running, and biking or rollerblading the Eastern Trail are just a few of our favorites. Over the past few years, we've said goodbye to our beloved Boss and Kona. We're still craving dog energy around our home and outdoor adventures, and want to assist other families in the Scarborough community to achieve "a tired dog, a happy dog" experience that we've known and love. We feel blessed to have a doggy daycare buddy, Finnegan, with us most weekdays and he is dog friendly. I work from home while my daughters are in school and am off with them during the summer months. We are available to care for your dog throughout the day and evening, and love boarding dogs for overnights. Summer hours are very flexible for walks. During the school year we can walk your dog weekdays after 3:30PM; or as scheduled outside of those hours upon request. My Mondays and Fridays tend to be light on my primary work and I carve out time for doggy adventures and exercise. We can accommodate based on your needs and recommendations specific for your dog(s). Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues beforehand. If any medication needs to be administered, I'd be glad to assist.

About: Hi there! We’re Amanda and Austen, a couple based in Scarborough with a dog of our own (our Mini Aussie, Mazie) and a lot of love to share with yours. When Amanda’s not caring for her sweet group of five-year-olds or Austen’s not out playing tennis, we’re spending time with Mazie, chasing seagulls at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or snuggling up on the couch after a snowy play session. We love active days just as much as laid-back ones, and we’re happy to match whatever energy your pup brings. We both grew up in homes with animals- at one point, Amanda had five dogs and a cat! We have cared for dogs of all breeds and energy levels, from teacup-size rescues to large-breed couch potatoes, plus plenty of other animals over the years (including Sparkles the Bearded Dragon, Amanda’s current classroom pet). We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced-in backyard that dogs love to explore. Austen works from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and we share responsibilities depending on the care your pet needs. Whether it’s a weekend adventure, daily daycare, or a cozy overnight stay, we’re here to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved. We offer care throughout the week and are happy to accommodate weekends, holidays, and special requests as our schedule allows. Austen works from home and provides consistent weekday care and supervision, while Amanda handles most weekend walks, drop-ins, and house sitting when needed. Between the two of us, your pet will never go long without company, playtime, or a potty break. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a last-minute trip, we’ll work with you to make sure your pup is happy and cared for. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. That’s why we always begin with a meet-and-greet to ensure your dog is comfortable with us, and you’re confident in the care we provide. We take a gentle, respectful approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and we’ll always ask for your guidance on what makes your pup feel safe and secure. Whether we’re in your home or ours, we want to provide a low-stress, enriching environment with plenty of attention, structure, and love. We’re also happy to provide regular updates (with photos!) and check-ins during every visit or stay, so you’re always in the loop - because we’d want the same from someone watching Mazie.

“I had a great experience with Jayson. He accepted my reservation on relatively short notice, has the warm demeanor I wanted in a caretaker for my 2 kitties, followed my care requests to a T, and was highly responsive and a clear communicator. I will happily be a repeat customer!”


“Accepted a last minute drop-in visit which was so nice of her. Stevie was so happy to have someone to feed her and play outside. So happy that I found Catherine!”


About: I have extensive experience with a wide range of animals. I have had dogs since childhood and currently have two of my own. Both of my dogs are rescues, a senior rat terrier/chihuahua mix and a reactive min-pin, so I understand how important it is to have a reliable and trustworthy sitter. I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. I work from home full time and can work around your schedule. Although I have two dogs of my own, I have time to care for others. I have been a dog sitter/walker many times throughout the years and have two of my own. I am respectful of other people’s homes and will make sure your pet is safe and cared for.

Jeanelle D.Star Sitter
“I love my 12 year old, blind, toothless, and diabetic Brussels griffon so much it's almost embarrassing. I would bring him with me everywhere in one of those baby slings if I could, but the sad truth is that I can't. And whenever something unavoidable came up or I had to go on a work trip I used to feel so guilty for having to leave him behind with family members that I didn't completely trust to stick to his diet or medicate him properly. I had a sudden family emergency that required me to travel last minute and I swear it was like the stars aligned when I found Jeanelle. Bandit is very picky about strangers but he loved her immediately. I have had her sit for me several times since and she not only takes amazing care of him every time, but she has also been phenomenal about soothing my anxiety about having to leave him home. She keeps in touch multiple times a day to let me know he got his insulin or he made a friend on their walk or just to share a pic of something extra adorable he did. She has become my first call whenever I need to plan something and I've even planned around her schedule to be able to ensure that she will be available to care for Bandit when I can't be home to do it myself. I seriously don't know what I would do without her sometimes.”

Amanda & Austen B.
“My son Austen and his girlfriend Amanda have been absolutely wonderful every time they’ve pet sat for my three cats. They are incredibly responsible and caring, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing my cats are in such loving hands. Whether it’s making sure everyone is fed on schedule, keeping the litter boxes spotless, or spending time giving each cat attention and affection, they go above and beyond. They even send me regular updates and adorable photos of the cats while I’m away, which I truly appreciate. I always come home to calm, content kitties—and a home that’s been treated with care and respect. I’m so proud of how thoughtful and dependable they are, and truly grateful for the love they show my pets.”
