“Torrie was amazing with my dog, Boston, and made sure I got updates and pictures of their time together. Highly recommend and looking forward to our future bookings. ☺️”


“Jordan was so professional and prepared when we met prior to our booking. She was phenomenal about keeping us updated and we had zero concerns that our pup would be in good hands!”


About: Hello! I would love to help. I had dogs my whole life and now have a Shepsky named Mocha who I love very much. I also volunteered at a cat rescue and have two cats of my own. I’m experienced around all ages as well! I have a Ball python and a leopard gecko too! So I don’t mind helping out with reptiles. I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I am available for daily walks or pet sitting. Morning, nights, and weekends! I can help with their daily routine, play, and walk to get their energy out. provide as much pet care as I can, and monitor them while I’m there.

“Leah was wonderful! Our pups loved her! This is the first time we’ve had a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous but she eased our worries. She was very prompt with messaging and gave us lots of updates! We will absolutely book her again!”


“Katie is incredible! She's wonderful with our two pups (one with special needs), kept me informed throughout the day while being respectful of my meeting schedule, administered medicine, and was a joy to have in the house. She gave us such peace of mind, and we're already looking for more dates to use her. Such a gem!”


“Alex saved the day and the dogs were happy when we got home. She was great about communication and sent picks while we were gone. So nice to nt have to worry. Thanks see you soon.”


About: Hello! I have been housesitting for about 5 years now for horses, dogs, cats, and more. I have experience in first aid and medication administering if needed. As well as spending my youth in 4-H and working in animal based settings, I am very knowledgeable of proper care. I strive to bring a positive energy around all animals I’m currently working part time, and I am in college part time as well. I am happy to work around both our schedules as I can be flexible! Any time spent with animals is time well spent for me! I am happy to continue whatever schedule/habits you like to keep your pets on while you’re away. I have learned so much about proper care over the years, and I will ensure your pet is happy and healthy!

“Kat was exceptional with our dog Wrigley while we were on vacation abroad. She treated him as if he were her own pet, providing the utmost care and attention. Communication was smooth and efficient throughout our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Kat to anyone in need of a reliable house or pet sitter!”


“Sure! Here's a concise and casual review: Virginia is an amazing dog sitter! She stayed at our house for a week and took such great care of our two dogs. It was clear they were happy and well-loved while we were away. She kept everything in order and left the house spotless. We’d definitely trust her again—highly recommend!”


About: 20+ years of experience with animals. I've handled dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and many other animals. I am comfortable being around animals of any age. I have helped with both cat and dog litter birth. Experience with senior dog care and medication schedule, as well as specific food needs. Experienced with allergies in dogs, as well as with K-9 epilepsy. Not experience with blind/deaf/amputee animals, but am comfortable with caring for them. I plan on getting certified for animal CPR as well. I have a genuine love for animals, am able to have a lot of patience, and I'm a very quick learner! I look forward to caring for your cuties! ♥ My animals are my life, I even picked out the house I live in because it had specific comforts for my dogs (I had my Chihuahua and Aussie at the time). My Australian Shepherd is, as a previous vet put it, a "delicate little flower". He will be 13 in June, 2025, is epileptic and has allergies as well as alopecia. He gets anti-convulsant medication at 6am and 6pm everyday, which is also food time. He gets grain free dry food with a mix of Hill's Science wet food for sensitive skin and stomach. I also have a kitten I acquired on accident in October 2024, via the "Cat Distribution Center". A small ball of lint ran out of a tipped over trash can in a driveway and squeaked at me. He's now about 7 months as of May 2025, and has a perfect and clean bill of health. He's allowed free-feeding of dry food as of now, as he doesn't over-eat, and he gets wet food at 6pm to ensure hydration. He's extremely active, so we basically have play time once every hour all day long, it's exhausting for me, but I know he needs the stimulation and movement. My Aussie also plays a little bit during kitten play time, though not as intense as he's losing the ability to use his hind legs, but he's still got that puppy energy! I also enjoy taking them out and about every now and then, my Aussie has a wagon he can sit/lay in on walks, and my cat comes along in a backpack carrier, and currently we're working on harness and leash training so he can walk around freely like his older dog brother. For caring in my own home: I have the luxury of a big, fenced in, back yard that's easily accessible via large sliding glass doors. As well as a decent spaced first floor. The cat food that's left out is in a play-pen that can be closed off safely to ensure my fur-client can't access food that may potentially interact with any medical problems they have. I also have a supply of 1 gallon buckets that I use for water, and can place them anywhere in the house that will be most comfortable for the animal. For caring in a clients home: Your house, your rules! I am not coming in to your home to set new routines and rules. You and your animals have established schedules and expectations. I do expect a walk-through from my client of their daily rituals and routines. I need to know food schedules, food measurements, any medical needs and schedules, typical walk/outside time/frequency, as well as play time and their favorite toys! I also would like to know specific rules, like places the client doesn't want their pet to access, or things I need to keep their pet away from. For walking; I'd like to know their favorite or most comfortable park, or walking route, as well as how they interact with other people/animals outside of the house.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, backyard chickens, turkeys, and goats, and I'm ready to take care of any and all other animals and reptiles you might have; plus, if you want plants watered, I do that, too! I have three giant dogs at home, a cat pulled in from the wild, my own chicken flock, and a turtle (not to mention the feral cats we feed), so I'm used to big personalities and a lot of work each day. I do have a part-time job, but that's only on Mon/Wed, and I leave for long lunches to take care of animals, check outdoor waters, give a little exercise, etc. I try not to crate unless the owner has requested it and then only if I'm at work; I don't mind animals on furniture or the bed with me, but I always ask the owners in case the pets are trying to be sneaky when they're not allowed! I make sure the food and water bowls stay clean (please let me know if there's a specific sponge you use for pet bowls!) and I make sure to play with the animals at least twice a day until they start to get tired. For outside animals, I keep a watch on their water and food and clean their coops/runs/etc., and in hot seasons I like to mist them with cool water from a hose, just in case.

“I had an excellent experience with this Drew over the past three days; she was incredibly caring and attentive to my two dogs, providing frequent updates and photos that reassured me they were in good hands. The dogs seemed happy and relaxed upon my return, demonstrating Drew's genuine love for animals and responsible care. I highly recommend Drew to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care.”


About: I have been dog sitting on weekends for my sister and brother in law for almost a year, she is a 10 month old bernedoodle with lots of energy! I also love caring for senior dogs. I have cat sit for 2 of my neighbors’ multiple cats, and have 2 pups of my own - Romeo and Bambi - both toy poodles aged 4 and 6 years old. I helped train both of them when they were puppies, and they are very well-behaved and loved! I currently work part-time on weekdays in the afternoon, so besides that I would have plenty of time to care for your furry friends - either overnight or for just a few hours! I am free before 5 pm Monday - Friday and after 9 pm, and I am available all day Saturday. I am usually busy Sundays, but can sometimes find time for it if you need full weekend care, so don’t hesitate to ask! I am very thorough and flexible with following any specific instructions you might have for caring for pets in your home. I have experience with crated dogs and free roam pets, so anything you need, I can do!

My two small dogs will offer company or indeed I can visit your home if your dog prefers solo walks and to stay in familiar surroundings. We have a fenced back garden and live in a quiet neighbourhood.

About: I have always loved dogs and have 2 of my own for the last 10 years. I have experience with all sizes and can take care in your house or mine. We are homebodies so I am typically home every other Friday (see availability schedule) and on the weekends which allows me to watch/walk your dog(s). At my home: I have a small dog that is free to go anywhere on the main floor. We have several pet beds for them but can usually find them on the couch or in their crate (with the gate door open). We currently do not have a fence but will take them out on leash for potty breaks and walks. At your home: I will follow the instructions you provide for taking care of your pets.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 11. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs! I took animal science in high school for two years which included dog grooming two days out of the week and also learning about all animals in general. I worked at Hayfield Animal Hospital as a Kennel Assistant when I was in high school as well. This required walking and feeding dogs on a day to day basis. Through my junior year of high school through college, I was a summer camp counselor for a Horse riding stables. This included taking care of 30+ horses every morning and night during the week. I have been riding horses for 20 years now and have an equine minor. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs of my own that I love very much. I have grown up with cats and until recently have always had one or two in my life. I currently work full-time from home. I work from 8 to 5 but can sit before then, during lunch, or after work. I also have time on the weekends to sit as well. I have two dogs of my own at home, so I cannot do in-home sitting currently. I will take great care of your pups/cats at your own home and follow any instructions given!
