Hannah has been wonderful with our two dogs, one of which was recently ill and recovering from surgery. It’s been great having someone we can trust with them while we’re away! She always sends lots of pictures and communicates well :)

Damian was great! He was very attentive and respectful of all of our pets’ needs. One of our dogs got sick while we were away and he took wonderful care of her and informed us of everything we needed to know. I felt bad he had to deal with a sick dog but he was very understanding, caring, and patient with her the entire time. I would definitely recommend Damian and we’d for sure have him return to our house as well!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I recently had to let my two girls go, so I’m looking forward to loving on your babies. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. Both of my girls needed medication towards the end, so I’m familiar with administering pills on a schedule and anything else that goes with owning a senior dog. My oldest had dementia, so if your pup has that, I can handle the quirks that come with that. I’ve also watched my friends bigger dogs, and they love just as much cuddles as the little ones do. Taking your fur baby out for walks, cuddling with them, and playing with their favorite toys would bring so much joy. You’ll have peace of mind (and updates) if you let me take care of them like you would. I am a teacher, so during the weekends and summer I have all the time to spoil your precious baby. Being a teacher also means I can spend extended time with your pet during the summer. I’m very good at following schedules and routines to help make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will love on them, play with them, and do anything else you need so both of you feel relaxed while you’re at work or on a trip.

My dogs had an absolute great time with Renee. She followed all of my dogs special needs instructions medication yard time ect and sent lots of pictures my boy is very picky about his comfort with people but he was sure to sleep belly up even got a picture of it. My girl is pretty easy going too but she also clearly had fun making a mess with her toys. Renee even took the trash out and cleaned up after the dogs which was not expected. Over all very pleasant great communication lots of silly dog pics and a house cleaner returned cleaner than expected we will be using her in the future.

Alexa is amazing! Will always be our go to if she’s available. My dogs are always so happy when we come back and we’re super happy with our experience with her always. We never have to worry while we’re away on travels. Not one thought crossed my mind of “are my dogs anxious, is my house taken care of, is everything okay” because we know it’s going to go well and THAT is what we look for in a dog sitter. We don’t want to worry while we’re in another country and we never do with Alexa. Thank you for the peace of mind we were able to have on this trip we just took!

Emma was FANTASTIC with our two little guys (dogs), one is a Maltese and the other is a mini Golden Doodle. Usually, they do not eat at least the first day and usually not for two or three days if we leave them with someone, which has always been people our dogs know and love. Not so with Emma; she was able to get them to eat their first meal and every meal thereafter. You could tell by the pictures, etc. that they were happy and enjoying her in our home, where she stayed with them for a week . . . in our home overnight that is. When we returned, of course, our pups were very happy to see us (almost overwhelmingly so) but it was a true telltale sign when they ran to the bedroom door where Emma stayed, and they started to whimper when they realized she wasn't there. We will definitely be using Emma again in the future. I recommend her without hesitation or reservation to watch your pets/family.

Tyshaun went above and beyond with helping my pup while she was dealing with IVDD. He had the patience to take care of her when she could barely walk. He also gave my other three pups the attention they needed. I highly recommend Tyshaun.

We loved having Abi care for our pups for several days. She was frequently in communication with us, sent lots of pictures, and was honest about our dogs temperament and needs (especially since we have an older dog that more recently had surgery). Our dogs clearly looked happy and well cared for when we came home. Thank you!

Naja took great care of our 2 dogs and our home while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and was comfortable asking questions and informing us of the dogs' behaviour in aour absence. The biggest comment my wife and I have upon our return is that the house was clean and tidy, and the dogs were calm and happy. They had a bond with Naja that was clearly evident even in our presence upon our return. I think that is the true sign of the caring petsitter that Naja is. We would absolutely recommend her and will hope to use her services again.
