“Undram did an amazing job caring for Gizmo. He came home to us so happy and calm. I can tell he was well loved and understood. We were so thrilled after a grueling flight to come home to such a happy pup!”
“Tatiana was the best taking care of both pups. Tatiana came over to meet our dogs and they gravitated towards her calm and loving nature. Thank you for going above and beyond for us.”
“We definitely recommend Diane! She is warm, inviting and sensitive to our dog's needs. She kept in touch with us to let us know that all was going well. It is obvious that she cares for dogs a great deal!”
“Rizwan, Noorjahan and their family were such great sitters for our dog and cat! They are such a sweet family and we received many pictures every day. I was reassured that both my pets were having a great time with them! Will definitely reach out again for our next sitting.”
“Michael took great care of our sweet 11-yo dog, Jenny! This was our first time using Rover and Michael made it a great experience. Jenny was happy and we received many photos while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Guinness has separation anxiety and Marta was so kind. She contacted me and asked if there were any suggestions on how to get him to calm down. Then a day or two later I am getting pictures of him hanging out with other dogs. Marta and her children were great and sweet to Guinness. I will definitely book with her again.”
“First time boarding our rescue dog and who doesn’t always get along well with other dogs. But Mayzie had a great stay! She got along well with Amy and Lamar’s dog (and cat) and they were able to separate her from a more active dog boarded during the day. They are very experienced in their understanding of dog behavior and from the pictures they sent she seemed like her happy self during the stay. Will definitely use them again!”
“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”
“Andrea and her family were such wonderful, loving caregivers for our goldendoodle while we were out of town for a relatively extended period of time (10 days). Wonderful communication and I could tell our very picky pup was happy and well loved while we were away. We are so excited to have a trusted pet sitter to use for future needs!”
“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”
“Grace was fantastic! She was available last minute and was very accommodating to our changing plans! She ( and her kids) were so welcoming our dog Wrigley. They were so loving and playful. They sent updates and pictures everyday! We will for sure be reaching out again in the future!”
“Our pooch Menchie had a fine time at Denis and Nikki’s home. He got to play as much his heart desired and then could cozy up on a couch. He missed us, but not as much as I thought he would. That’s a tribute to the care he received at Denis and Nikki’s home.”
“Entire experience including meet n greet went smoothly. House and yards set up to accommodate dogs needs. Love the running with the pack concept. Great exercise and socializing. Shanti slept a solid 2 days afterwards!”
About: I’ve been with animals all my life and have cared for dogs, cats and small caged animals. I love animals and if I could have more animals I would. I even work at a doggy day care part time because I love them so much. I’m free most of the day and my schedule should revolve around your animal and their needs. I can accommodate practically anything your pet needs with open arms. At the moment my yard is not fenced in so I just would take them in long walks. I would care to all the needs to the animal and put my all into making them happy.
About: I have had dogs and watched family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter in the city, and raised a puppy until he found his forever home for around a year. I work locally and have flexibility to work from home as needed! I am at home all day Fridays and all weekend, and weeknights after 5pm. I have a fully fenced and gated in yard with lighting and will not let your pup out of my sight! I also have a camera at home for if I’m ever out of the house.
About: I have raised and taken care of many different animals for 14 years. Cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, ferrets, and even a pair of sugar gliders! When my friends and families needed me to take care of their pets I was always there for them. I have experience in both dog sitting and cat sitting and love hanging out with them throughout the day. Raised two kittens to their senior years. One of whom is still thriving at age 16! He has transformed from a house cat to a cat who ventures outdoors now. I have excellent attention to detail and I am happy to accommodate to your pet and any special requests! Looking forwards to meeting you and your pet soon! I work or a hybrid work from home schedule along with my partner who works from home full-time. We should be at home everyday so pets will get our attention at all times of the day. Walks can be handled two to three times a day for dogs. As well as play time for cats and dogs sprinkled throughout the day. I tend to play with animals for at least an hour each day so that they get their exercise in. I like to groom my pets so that their isn’t excess hair flying around the home. Walks for dogs can be scheduled with me whether they need 2 or more walks throughout the day.
