Reliable, communicative, and kind—I'll definitely be booking with them again!”


“We couldn’t be happier with Alyssa! We’ve booked her a couple of times now, and each experience has been fantastic. From the moment we met, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals. She took such good care of our pups, providing not only the essentials but also extra cuddles, playtime, and frequent updates to keep us at ease. It’s so reassuring to know that our fur babies are in such capable and caring hands whenever we’re away. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to your pet's needs, look no further. Alyssa always goes above and beyond, and we’ll definitely continue to book her. Highly recommended!”


About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.

“Jon was so great! He communicated consistently and cared for my cats and dogs as if they were his own. I loved receiving daily pictures and hearing how everyone was doing. He went above and beyond with his care for our pets and our home.”


“Nathalia was great with Remy! She provided regular updates and pictures and was quick to answer any messages. She also left my home clean and tidy. I can’t wait for Nathalia to watch Remy again!”


“Nicole was fantastic with Rae. She followed our instructions exactly and sent many cute photos of Rae looking happy and comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her again and feel very lucky to have found her!”


“Katie and Zayn were the BEST sitters we’ve ever had. They came to stay at our home for a week to watch our dog Bear. They were so patient and loving with her. We received daily photos and updates. And they left our house spotless and so well cared for. We hope we can book them for all our upcoming travel!”


“Jenette was such a great cat & house sitter! She took care of our 2 cats in our home for a week and everything went so smoothly. Our cats were so happy when we returned. Such a relief to know that they were content & well taken care of while we were away for an extended period of time, especially since they are not always in good spirits after a trip! The house was spotless and she even watered our vegetable garden! 10/10 we will definitely be booking with Jenette again- thank you!!!”


“Cassie was an excellent sitter for our dog Bear! It was a slightly last minute booking and she made time for a meet and greet. She sent pictures throughout the stay. And when our flight was rerouted due to weather, she stayed extra hours beyond what we had booked. She truly went above and beyond. Thanks Cassie!”


“Kyra is amazing! She looked after my pups in my home while I was away. She was communicative, respectful, and seemed to give great care to my dogs. When I got home they seemed very well taken care of as did my home. I highly recommend Kyra to look after your dogs (or any animal!).”


“Stef is the absolute best sitter. Personally, I want to gatekeep her so we have her all to ourselves but that wouldn’t be fair to Stef or the animals. I feel so at peace leaving both my dog and cat in her care. She always keeps us up to date on our pets. Her photos are phenomenal and her attention to detail is just top notch. (She’ll pay attention to the temperature for the animals, check things around the house and on top of that she’s also provided us with some tips for our dog). I can’t say enough good things about Stef whether she’s just popping in for a quick visit or coming to stay at our home. She’s our gold standard for sitters.”

“First I like the start of saying JoJo was amazing! They messaged me all kinds of updates and amazing photos. I definitely worry a lot about my fur baby when I’m away, and never had to worry the whole time JoJo was watching Brina. I will definitely be using them in the future!!!!!”

“As pet parents , we can recognize a person who is kind, compassionate, hard working and responsible and so can our pets.

She stayed at the house with them fed and administered meds as necessary especially to our one cat. Chewbacca was walked 2 times a day and taken for long walks in a park he visits every day and she sent pictures. We appreciated the updates since we were out of the country. I can't say enough about Chelsea as she treated our animals as her own.”

And when our flight was rerouted due to weather, she stayed extra hours beyond what we had booked. She truly went above and beyond. Thanks Cassie!

After having last minute travel plans come up, finding Riley to house and pet sit was a huge blessing! I liked her instantly but most importantly, my pets loved her instantly. She is loving, and attentive and communicates regularly. She took care of my plants as well and took great care of the house. Left everything neat and tidy. I'll definitely rebook her for all my future sitting needs. She's truly an excellent sitter. A million thanks Riley!!

Jenette was such a great cat & house sitter! She took care of our 2 cats in our home for a week and everything went so smoothly. Our cats were so happy when we returned. Such a relief to know that they were content & well taken care of while we were away for an extended period of time, especially since they are not always in good spirits after a trip! The house was spotless and she even watered our vegetable garden! 10/10 we will definitely be booking with Jenette again- thank you!!!

Woizero took care of my dog for about a week and her communication was 10/10! She came by before the day to meet us and I felt so comfortable leaving on my trip knowing he was in great hands! Thank you so much for taking care of my pookie. Would definitely book her again in the future!

Bridget was the best!!! We went to Italy for 9 days and were super nervous to leave our fur babies behind but she took such good care of them as if they were her own! She cared for our golden retriever puppy like a pro, including when he developed a hot spot the first few days we were gone and she easily took him to the vet to get him medicated and get everything all cleared up! She also took care of our two cats with such love and caring. She left our house spotless and sent us texts and videos daily checking in - her communication was amazing. Highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her in the future!!

I can’t say enough good things about Elizabeth. She was wonderful with my dog Janie. She provided updates, stuck to Janie’s schedule, gave her medications, and bonded with her. Janie was very upset to see Elizabeth leave. Janie is a flight risk, and an anxious dog and she was at ease and safe with Elizabeth. I’m so thankful to have found her.

Cherese took excellent care of my two dogs. I worry a lot about my westie as he has Addison’s disease and requires a daily pill. I was hoping being in his home environment would make him less stressed while we were away for the week. My mini golden doodle can be high energy as well. She took them on daily walks and even to Branchbrook park to see the cherry blossoms. While the dogs were excited to see us when we got home they also showed their affection for her when she left and it was great to see how much they liked her.

Kyra watched Lizzy overnight and was amazing as always. She followed her routine perfectly, sent tons of updates and photos (which I love!), and made sure Lizzy was comfortable and happy the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in great hands. Highly recommend!!!
