“Anthony was so good with our 2 pups. He took on the stages of our puppy with potty training and chewing things up with no problems. Very communicative and great with dogs!”


2. Allison G.

“Allison saved the day when my plans fell through for my watching my dogs. I was super nervous to leave them with an unkown. After meeting with Allison i knew everything would be great. My dogs were comfortable and happy. I will definately book with Allison again!”


3. Angie M.

“We would highly recommend Angie for anyone’s pet sitting needs! She didn’t experience any issues with our elderly, special needs dog who requires medication and a Bailey chair to eat in twice a day, who also can be dog reactive on walks. Nor with our senior cat who requires medication daily as well. Our other senior cat who is very skittish even came out to say hi, which I think shows a lot about Angie’s character. We loved the occasional check ins and photos of our pets we received from Angie. On top of all of that, we came home to a clean house. After being gone 10 days. With 3 shedding pets in the house! We feel very fortunate to have found Angie. She will be our top choice for all future pet sitting needs.”


4. Donna G.

“Donna was nice and very easy to work with. She was reliable and on time for both the initial meeting and for the stay so we could leave on time. She did a great job and provided some good updates and pictures of the dogs. Thanks for taking good care of them!”


5. Kaitlyn J.

“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.”


6. Elizabeth V.


“Elizabeth is amazing with both our dog Tippet and cat Calvin. She went above and beyond to show them love and make sure they were well cared and exercised while we were away! We enjoyed the pictures she sent us throughout the weekend as well. Tippet can be shy around new people and that was not the case with Elizabeth he warmed right up to her, and was a happy boy when we returned. We will happily have her back to watch our boys and would recommend her 100%.”


7. Paul H.
“Paul has cared for our Tucker for extended time as we travelled. He does a wonderful job, truly cares for Tucker, and sends photos each day. Tucker likes Paul and it is so nice Paul can come to our home. Such a nice guy and excellent with pets.”


8. Chloé G.

“Above and beyond! Thank you Chloe!”


9. Christina C.

“Christina took great care of my annoying (she called “snuggly”) cat, who routinely tries to beat up my large dog. Would for sure book her again.”


10. Adina H.
“Adina worked as an intern for our Assistance Dog Program and did an excellent job taking care of the puppies in training. She is a delightful person who is very hard working and dedicated. Most importantly, Adina was very kind and affectionate with the dogs. I highly recommend her! :)”

“Dawn has been a personal friend of mine for over 15 years and cared for my pets on many occassions while I've been gone. I've always been very happy with her care she has provided for my pets.

Dawn is a very loving pet owner herself who provides exceptional care for my pets in my home and I would highly recommend her as a living pet caregiver.”
