Pet care experience

+ Fast replies, last minute requests accepted + Home all-day with your dog + Flexible schedule for owners lifestyle Previous downtown Ottawa and Newmarket dog sitter, now located in Hamilton, ON! After months of battling illness, I had to say goodbye to my sweet furbaby of 10 years in February 2020. While I've seen many add a new furry companion to their family during the pandemic, I'm not quite ready to move on yet and do the same. *First Time Rover Clients only*: for $20 off, enter code SANTIA75819 when booking!

Santina was absolutely amazing. This was the first time leaving our little guy with someone and we were so nervous. However Santina was so kind and made us feel comfortable. Our dog had such a great time and was not upset at all when we picked him up. I would feel so confident leaving him again with her.

I cannot put into words how happy I was with Santina! I am the typical overprotective dog mom who has never let another person watch their dogs, but Santina completely understood and made me and my dogs feel comfortable and reassured! Santina watched my two dogs for two nights and three days, I received constant updates and photos, and when I asked how they were doing she was extremely responsive and let me know they were doing just fine. I would HIGHLY recommend Santina and I will absolutely be using her services again.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Santina and the excellent care she gave our pup while we were away! Santina was extremely responsive and communicative leading up to Piper's stay and sent lots of lovely updates and photos. She was so patient with me when answering all of my questions, and so patient with Piper when she woke her up at the crack of dawn everyday. We wouldn't hesitate for a moment to send Piper to Santina's home again when we need someone we trust to take care of our girl. Thanks again Santina! :)

I know i'm ready to share my love and support for other dogs that need a little extra care! Whether you are going away for the weekend, back to working at the office or just want to make sure your furbaby isn't alone - I can spend all day with your dog to ensure they are well stimulated and cared for.
