Holly is great! She’s so kind, caring, and understanding. I had the opportunity to puppy sit for Milton. Milton is wild and crazy and she was nothing but calm and amazing energy. Holly will definitely be my go-to sitter/ walker. Thank you, Holly!

Paulina was a great sitter to our Bella. She was super professional and made sure to ask all the questions she needed to know in order to take care of our puppy. Correspondence was great throughout the night, she sent us updates with pictures which was greatly appreciated. Thank you Paulina 😊!

Sara was excellent. She stayed at our house for a few days with the dogs while we took a trip into the city. Very attentive to the pups and generally has a very warm and trustworthy personality. We are already planning ahead to book her for future trips. Don't hesitate to book her - she's fantastic!

About: would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I have a deep, lifelong love for animals and truly enjoy spending quality time making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing with favorite toys, or just providing some extra snuggles on the couch, I treat every animal with the same patience and kindness I would give my own. Your pet's comfort is my top priority. I have watched many dogs/ cats There is nothing I love more than the company of animals! As a teacher, I bring patience and a structured routine to my pet-sitting, ensuring your babies feel secure while you're gone. I’m a morning person who truly enjoys those quiet, early walks, and I’m always ready for more activity or snuggles once the school day ends. Whether it’s a quick overnight or a two-week stay, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I I have watched cats and dogs. Dogs I take them out when they need to walks if need!and for both i give a lot of attention if need. I also talk to the animal to help them h Feel notice.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs. I’m patient, calm, and great at reading their behavior. Over time, I’ve helped train dogs with basic commands, leash manners, and socialization using positive reinforcement. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What makes me stand out is how much attention and care I put into each pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get the right balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they always know their pet is happy and cared for. Your dog will be in loving, reliable hands with me.🐾 As a full-time college student, I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m available from 8–11 AM and again from 3:30–11 PM, and on Fridays I’m available from 3:30–11 PM. I’m also able to stay overnight on weekends if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, I’m very organized with my time and make it a priority to be fully present with the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit into my schedule. When I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, or bedtime habits, so they feel secure while their owners are away. I give plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles, but I also make sure they have quiet time if they need space. If I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own and always make sure everything stays neat and clean. I send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are being well taken care of. My goal is for every pet to feel happy and cared for, just like they would if their family were home.

Cam is a ROCKSTAR. They completely saved my vacation when our sitter cancelled at the last minute. Cam swooped in and just handled everything with professionalism and grace. My dog actually had a bad reaction to his new medication while we were gone and Cam was 100% on top of it with communication and even took our guy to the urgent vet and picked up a medication from the pharmacy. Then, our replacement sitter ghosted us on the last day and Cam stayed to make sure our pup was OK. Seriously - best sitter EVER. An A+ human. I feel so lucky that we found Cam and that they stayed with our baby. Will definitely be calling again (hopefully for a less eventful sit!).

About: I work as a part time veterinary technician, very confident in giving medications.

Love taking them for walks and hikes and make sure we have plenty of play time together! I would love to meet your fur-babies and help you be able to relax and enjoy your time away.

About: I grew up with dogs and lived with cats so I'm very comfortable with both. I've volunteered with shelters, and even fostered dogs and cats a few times. I've walked big dogs and can handle high energy dogs of different sizes. I'm currently doing an internship half the week, so I'm available the remainder for pet care and walks. I am available Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for walking, check-ins and house sitting. I want to help build a healthy routine with your pets, and earn trust with care, play, walks, and feeding. I strive to be disciplined in rewarding good behaviour with positive reinforcement.

Chelsea is amazing with our pups, it seems like they had an instant bond. She took care of them like we do, including monitoring and caring for a minor paw injury. Chelsea is very communicative, sending lots of updates and pictures. We really couldn't dream of a better sitter for out babies, peace of mind like that is invaluable. Looking forward to booking with Chelsea again soon!

Kathy recently stayed at our home with our two kittens over the holiday's. I appreciated all the photos and updates she sent me twice a day. It gave me piece of mind to have someone who was willing to stay in our home to ensure they were getting the attention and love that they needed while we were away. The first time we met with Kathy she actually brought them a great cat toy which they are still having fun with. Thank you Kathy!
