“Makenna was an amazing sitter and I’d be happy to have her help watch Lainey, again. She has a very bubbly personality and will fall in love with your pup quickly. She was quick to respond and sent me plenty of updates and pictures throughout. She left my space as she found it and was very respectful.”

“Kayley is the best! She checked in with me often, took great care of the home and was patient with my high anxiety Theo. He had an accident in the house and she took care of it all and even brought her cleaner from home to help pick it all up. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!!!”

About: I spent all day at home to take care my cat. Feed, wash their hair every week, and some time take them go outside to hangout I'm a student. I have a plenty of time to play with cat. I go to school from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Sometime I learn at home I have a friendly cat at my home. She is very friendly and maybe shy a litte bit. I can stop by at your home to take care of your pets.
“Kyra was available for us last minute and did so great with our dog, Jenny. Jenny had no issues having Kyra come stay with her. Kyra communicated well with us, was very friendly and super easy to deal with. Would use her again.”

“Samantha took great care of my pups! She provided lots of pictures and took them on many walks! My dogs always enough any time Samantha takes care of them! This is my second time booking with her and it won’t be my last!”

“Mandy did great under challenging circumstances. This was our first time using a sitter since getting the dog from the Humane Society a year ago, and the dog took us by surprise with stranger anxiety - not wanting to be touched or approached and urine accidents. I take the blame - In hindsight I should have arranged trial stay(s) many months in advance of our weeklong trip, not just a meet and greet a week in advance. Mandy handled it well. She persevered despite the accidents and communicated candidly with me about how the dog was reacting and problem-solved with me. She figured out how to let the dog out without approaching it, and kept both the dog and cat fed and watered, though walks were not possible. She even came to let the dog out over lunch on weekdays, which was above and beyond our original agreement. The cat loved Mandy - I thought the cat would be the one wary of strangers, and she let Mandy pet her by mid-week. Mandy was very tidy and conscientious and left the house in great condition. She even set out my bait when ants started coming in. Huge appreciation to Mandy.”

“Emily was so caring for our pets and left our house spotless. You wouldn't even know she stayed over for 3 nights. She checked in frequently and made sure to follow all of our instructions. We would love to hire Emily again to watch our pets.”
“Linda stayed with my older dog who had never been left with anyone and my cat who is shy. I could tell my pets were well taken care of. My house was spotless, probably cleaner than when I left. We were only gone for a day but, hopefully, next trip longer and definitely will use Linda again!”
“Ashlen has been my go to sitter since the first time she watched my pets in September of 2021. From 2 dogs and a bird to now just my one dog Ashlen does an excellent job of prioritizing her care, remembering details, and going the extra mile! She is super easy to communicate with, is always willing to be flexible with first and last drop in times and always makes sure to check in with me and give me updates.”
About: I’m exceptional in training puppies, cats and dogs. If necessary I can discipline although I prefer positive encouragement towards good behaviour with rewards. I love teaching commands using an animals favourite treat or a clicker, whichever is more effective. When it comes to older animals it’s critical for me to be aware of and understand their history. Dietary restrictions, sleeping/eating habits, medication and application processes, etc. I love all animals but ultimately will treat them as family with the love and support they each deserve. I’m currently working as a part time Youth Director at a local church so I have plenty of time throughout my days to play with and care for your furrr babies. My main goal currently is to fill in the gaps of my day to day with joy and happiness that only pets can bring. We all need something to look forward too to make life enjoyable and for me right now that’s figuring out how to play with as many animals as possible to make sure they’re all loved while you’re away. Our home has as expansive enclosed back yard for dogs to run around in and play or simply take a potty break. Our living room and kitchen area are great open places for cats to explore and the basement is very clean and comfortable as well. Although, I prefer to go to a cats home instead because as you know being a cat owner most cats dislike change of environments or any change in general for that matter. When it comes to walks I like to take as many precautions as viable. Dog parks are available and accessible more so during the day. There are plenty of nearby parks in my neighbourhood as well as bike paths and sidewalks. I’m open to any suggestions for locations or preferred methods of transportation as some animals dislike car rides so a simple walk around the block would suffice. I take any and all advice seriously when it comes to the attention and care of your animal.
“Kary was great!!! I needed a last minute dog sitter for the weekend and she ended up being perfect! She sent pictures multiple times a day and let me know if anything happened that I needed to know!! She even left little cookies at the end of the stay. I will definitely be using her again!!!”

“We've used Kyelene as our sitter numerous times now. She's always punctual and a great communicator. Our pup absolutely loves her! We really appreciate her attention to detail and that we never need to worry when our pup is in her care.”

About: I grew up taking care of indoor/outdoor cats, and outdoor hunting dogs. I have 3 cats of my own currently and often sit for family and friends’ pets. I am currently in between jobs, so my availability is open to care for your pet. I am happy to do weekends, and can stay overnight if needed. Pet care will need to happen in your home, as my home is not suitable for boarding. I am comfortable with walking and crating and I am respectful while in someone else’s home.
“Absolutely phenomenal!!! This was my husband and my first time having a dog/house sitter. We met Ingrid months before we booked her. Our 3 dogs were 100% at ease with her from the start. Ingrid put me at ease from the start as well. As any dog mom I was nervous about leaving my babies, not because of Ingrid. But because we never leave our babies. This was our first vacation since 2019. I could not recommend Ingrid more!!! She makes you feel like you're leaving your babies and home with friends or family. Ingrid was the perfect choice for us and we will definitely choose her again. Thank you Ingrid!”

“Thankyou sooo much again harbor loved you! Nisa was able to provide us so much comfort in leaving our brand new adopted pup for the day !! Thankyou so much for coming and spending time with her and sending us pics throughout the day :)”

About: I have cared for dogs for over 10 years, both family and friends pets. I am a huge animal lover and enjoy getting my exercise through dog walking! I currently have 2 dogs myself and enjoy spending every moment I can with them! I’m available most weekends and weekdays after 4 pm when needed. I can travel to your house when requested and am flexible as needed throughout your pets care! I have experience walking all sizes of dogs and can care for different sizes as well. I am flexible with feeding schedules and well as medicine or daily play time.
