My partner and I would absolutely hire Emerson again. He was on time, professional, and Jelly took to him instantly. Throughout our trip, he communicated regularly and was incredibly patient with Jelly, especially when she was testing him in the beginning. He won her over quickly, and from that point on, the entire stay went smoothly. We never had to worry about Jelly—she was clearly in good hands. Emerson followed every instruction, so there were no accidents or issues. When our flight was delayed, he reassured us without hesitation that he could stay longer and continue caring for her, which was such a relief. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. What stood out most was how laser‑focused he was on Jelly’s needs and his demeanour was kind and compassionate. That’s exactly what we needed, and he delivered it with care and professionalism.

I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn. It’s so great to have someone take care of my fur baby and my house while I’m out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!

Connie is an incredible house/Cat Sitter. She took care of our kitty like she was her own and did the same with our home.. Every day we got pictures and videos and could tell that Connie was really interacting successfully with our somewhat shy, sweet pet. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gem!!

We've used Mad for several drop-by visits and always been highly impressed by Mad's communication and service. This was our first time having Mad stay overnight with our dogs and Mad did an incredible job. Highly communicative and responsive, asked great questions and sent regular photos/updates. We always felt confident in the care our animals were receiving. We came home to a clean house (sheets were even put in the wash!) and happy, relaxed animals. Our dogs aren't exactly "low maintenance" (one has medical needs, one is scared of her own shadow and distrustful of new people) and Mad did beautifully with them. We'll absolutely be using Mad again and feel so lucky our paths have crossed!

Emily was an amazing care taker for my dogs. They are a little extra, like most dogs are lol. And she took good care of them and all their quirks. She communicated often, sent photos and videos and walked and cuddled them like they were her own. I recommend her for the care of your fur babies and hope to have her again in my home to stay with Otis and Myla 🐶❤️

Rachel took care of our two pups and cat for a little over a week, and because we’ve hired her now several times, I didn’t worry at all - even when there were some tummy problems, I knew she’d take the best care. Our pets are super sweet and gentle and the extra TLC she provides is exactly what they need!

Finding dog care is usually stressful in itself for us. But a family emergency required us to leave town on relatively short notice, that stress was multiplied. I work from home so our two dogs are used to having someone around most of the time. One is also a bit high-maintenance—slow to warm up to strangers, needs medication, requires frequent potty breaks, and has some incontinence issues (diapers!) due to said meds. Stephanie made the experience as worry-free as possible. She responded quickly to our booking request, and her calm, confident demeanor during the initial meet-and-greet immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she provided frequent updates and photos, giving us peace of mind that our dogs were in great hands. We came home to a clean house and two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I truly appreciated Stephanie’s care and professionalism during a difficult time for our family. While the cost of having someone stay in your home can sometimes feel like a luxury, she gave us one less thing to worry about when we needed it most—and made her stay worth every penny.

Yet another wonderful experience with Sarah staying at my home with my dog and my cat! Sarah was communicative as always, and asked great questions to clarify their specific care needs so she could make sure the routines for both kitty and pup were addressed perfectly. Loved Sarah's daily updates with the photos and cute activities the pets got up to while I was away! Looking forward to the next time we can have Sarah pet-sit again!
