Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Amy and Joshua to watch your fur baby. Bailey had a wonderful stay with them. The process of meeting and setting up our stay was seamless. Amy made sure to ask all the right questions to ensure Bailey would be comfortable during her stay. The communication throughout was excellent and she provided updates on how the stay was going. We will be using them again for future travel.
Amy and Josh were great with Moose, extremely attentive to his medical needs as well as what would make him feel right at home with them! We got great updates during his stay, and are looking forward to working with them again soon.
Amy and Josh are absolutely wonderful dog sitters, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very start, they went above and beyond. Before accepting the booking, they scheduled a phone call to learn everything about Dexter, asking thoughtful, detailed questions to make sure they’d be the right fit. That level of care and professionalism immediately put me at ease. They also arranged a meet and greet prior to our first overnight stay, which I really appreciated. Dexter warmed up to them instantly. During his time with them, they kept him active and engaged, taking him out for walks and even to a patio, making sure he had a great experience, not just a place to stay. I felt completely at ease throughout the entire stay and would not hesitate to book with them again. If you’re looking for dog sitters who genuinely care about your pet, look no further than Amy and Josh. Five stars, without question.
Always feel so comfortable leaving Frankie with Amy and Josh! Such great sitters who really go the extra mile to make you and your pup feel comfy and at ease!
Amy and Josh were beyond wonderful! We contacted them very last-minute, and they still arranged meetings and calls right away to fit our tight schedule. They loved on our dog Cricket like she was their own, and sent tons of updates. She had so much fun with them and was sad to say goodbye to them when they dropped her off. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again! They’re awesome :)
Amy & Josh were absolutely incredible! They asked very genuine, thorough & probative questions during our prep call to ensure they had all information to give my cat a very comfortable and fun stay. Their space is amazing - lots of comfy places to rest, great spots to observe outside, and a great outdoor space. They made sure to take my cat outside because they knew he loved exploring and they provided lots of well-appreciated updates throughout the week. My cat was so comfortable he slept in their bed a couple nights in - definitely a feat when it comes to him and so nice for me to see while away! Highly highly recommend Amy & Josh for all of your pet needs. :)

Schedule
I work remotely as does my husband (who adores animals as well) so there is no shortage of love and attention for furry visitors in our house.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly, with only a few easy steps to enter. Located at the end of a quiet street, it offers a calm and peaceful environment while still being central and convenient for pick-ups and drop-offs. Large windows provide plenty of natural light and outdoor views, keeping pets of all sizes happily engaged. Indoors, your pet will enjoy a clean, cozy and welcoming space, while outdoors we offer a spacious fenced backyard with soft grass for safe play and relaxation. We’re also within walking distance of High Park, Trinity Bellwoods, and other dog-friendly green spaces for exciting adventures. To make every stay comfortable, we provide pet beds for both small and large guests, along with clean blankets, toys, towels, and other essentials—each item thoroughly sanitized between visits. Walks during pet-sitting and boarding are customized to your pet’s needs, taking into account their size, breed, health, energy level, and established routines. We value communication and consistency, so we’re happy to learn any commands, quirks, or special routines your pet already knows. This helps us create a seamless, stress-free “pet-cation” that feels just like home. We look forward to welcoming your furry loved one and giving them the care, comfort, and joy they deserve!
A typical day
Mental and physical stimulation are both important to keep pets happy and healthy. I will always find ways to ensure each pet is engaged based on their characteristics and personality so we can make the most of their stay.
