Highlights
Pet care experience
Trustworthy and loving dog sitter
Self proclaimed champion of ear scratches and belly rubs. I have many years of experience with various dog breeds, ages, sizes, fostering, high and low energy pups, administering oral medications. My partner and I can take care of your pup as long as they can be left alone 2-4hrs as my schedule and his may not overlap perfectly depending on the day. Dogs with separation anxiety may not be a good fit, but we are happy to chat to see if our schedule works out so we can accommodate. I am very active, so I love going on long walks, hikes, runs and off leash parks (if you agree to that). The safety of your pup and their overall enjoyment is my priority. I would love to do a quick meet and greet to learn more about your pup, your schedule, and how to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I love to send daily photo/video “pupdates” and to let you know what we are up to while you are away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Raquel and Howard are simply the best pet sitters. As always, they took wonderful care of my dog, and she was completely enchanted with them. She is always so happy, comfortable, and relaxed in their care, which gives me complete peace of mind. They are attentive, caring, reliable, and clearly treat her as if she were their own. I would recommend them without hesitation!!!
As always Raquel and Howard have been amazing to our dog. I would like to highlight them as excellent if your pet is elderly! They are amazing and adjust to what the pet needs and also give them lots of love!
Second home for Tank. What more can you wantfor your furbaby?! Thanks so much guys 🌟
As usual, Raquel and Howard continue to be the best Petsitters in the world!!! My dog literally lights up when she knows she’s staying with them. Thank you for taking care of my baby!!! To anyone considering them, please know they are amazing! Your pet will be in the best hands!
It was our first time boarding and we couldn’t have found a better sitter! Raquel and Howard took amazing care of Mylo and made him feel right at home. We got tons of photos and updates of him having a great time. They also went above and beyond by accommodating his quirky Yorkie habits. We’ll definitely be booking again for his next staycation. Thanks so much!!
As always, Raquel and Howard were my baby’s second home. They are the absolute best. They have adjusted the routine and care as needed as my pet is now a senior dog, and I really appreciate it. Basically they have accompanied my dog as she aged (literally!). Thank you for being the BEST Petsitters!

Schedule
I wake up around 7/8am, I can guarantee a minimum of 3walks a day. I am usually home, with the exception of running errands or the odd get together with friends. If there are times outside my availability, feel free to ask. I try to update the calendar, but I can also make exceptions and be a bit more flexible.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My unit is a 1 bedroom 1200sq ft mid-rise apartment, our condominium has a private fenced-in yard amenity. Lots of dog parks and walking paths in the area (University and Dundas).
A typical day
I can commit to 20min-1hr walks 3-4 times a day. My condo has a private off leash turf area at my condo that I can supplement walks with to play fetch (it is normally empty). I normally ask for your typical routine, and will do my best to model after that - to keep your pup on a routine. I love playing fetch, going on long walks/jogs/hikes, off leash dog parks (if you are okay with it). My favourite places near me are the OCAD park, walk along Lakeshore, Sherwood park and any place in the city. I like to use dog-appropriate routes (away from high traffic/loud areas).
