Highlights
Pet care experience
Show them love as they would for us
I've taken care and watched over my family's dog Jessie since before I was off studying abroad at university. I was always comfortable being around other people's pets, playing with and looking after my friend's cats Solo and Rosig.

Great service with Harry! Our mischievous (but well meaning) dogs were well taken care of and trained!
Harry has consistently been great with our big, fun loving husky. He’s always been flexible, quick to respond, and super communicative - and every time we’ve left Bruce with him we’ve come home to find a happy pup. Thanks for helping out, Harry!
Harry is great! He’s been a life-saver several times when I’ve needed very last-minute dog walks, and I know my pup is in good hands with him :)
We tried giving Harry a chance after his first sit with us. He was okay...or so we thought. He didn't follow directions of care for our dogs. One is special needs and he decided to medicate her at random times instead of following direction. We got an door camera a couple months ago, good thing that we did. After this previous visit we noticed several horrifying things. He would leave our doors for more than 7 hours at a time, not stay the night for which he was paid to do. He would walk out dogs for 10 minutes(2times a day) or less just so he could leave for another 5+hours hours. When asked he got defensive and said I don't stay for 24hours (we know this). He believes that 10 minutes walks are adequate exercise for dogs. Be careful be feeding instructions meant nothing to him. The little walks and over feeding made both my dogs weight increase. This is dangerous for the one with special needs whose weight needs to be stabilized. If you hire him, be sure to review your cameras, you will be surprised and horrified by how little he is with your dogs. For 3 days, it was maybe 12hours total that he was actually with them, if he didn't go out that night and return at 2 or a mysterious emergency that you wouldn't know about unless you confront him.
Unfortunately, I won't be booking again. A few simple, yet important, written instructions were not followed, including a basic one about cat food. Along with a couple other issues, the experience made me very uncomfortable, and I wish I listened to my gut in the beginning and booked someone else. I've always had incredible sitters, but I'm assuming you get what you pay for? Clearly he works out fine for other people. The good news is that Lady was fine when we got home, despite the very disturbing energy we felt in the air.
Harry was punctual, kind and his communication was great. There was no issue or anything negative to note. Thank you Harry!

I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of free time to care and look after your cats or dogs for you. I'm very open with working around your schedule and availability.

I have a fenced yard and a long garden with plenty of roaming space for your dogs. There's a tall gate at the entrance which is locked and keeps the property safe.
