Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.

This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Grace was absolutely amazing and my dog had a great time while Grace dogsat her for 2 nights! She provided multiple text and photo updates throughout the day, was very respectful of my home, and most importantly took great care of my mini dachshund Bella. She followed all my care instructions and provided a recap of everything when we arrived back home. I would highly recommend and will definitely be reaching back out to Grace for future dogsitting needs!

About: I’m an experienced pet caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals of all personalities, ages, and needs. I’ve worked with shy, anxious, high-energy, and highly social pets, and I understand how to meet each animal exactly where they are; whether that means giving them space to warm up, engaging playtime, or calm companionship. I’m also confident caring for pets with medical needs. I have hands-on experience administering medications, monitoring symptoms, supporting chronic conditions, and keeping detailed notes for owners. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My goal is to make every cat or pet feel safe, seen, and understood while giving you true peace of mind. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, your furry family member will be cared for with patience, attention, and genuine love. I currently work full time in a hybrid position. I can work from pretty much anywhere when I am working remotely which leaves me lots of time in my schedule for your baby! I am happy to follow your lead on the care instructions of your pet! You know them best, so whatever you think will make their time away from you the least stressful is what I will do!

About: I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to shy cats to horses, goats, and chickens. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and service-oriented. I have one kitty of my own who has been with me for 10 years now, and strive to treat every pet I care for with the same care and love that I give him. Whether its walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every pet gets exactly what they need to feel comfortable. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for middle-of-the-day check-ins or multiple visits per day! I am available for everything from energetic dogs in need of long interesting walks to cats that need calm company. I am flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I am comfortable crating dogs, handling different kinds of harnesses, administering medication, and making sure to support any and all behavioural needs.

Diane is incredibly thoughtful, conscientious, and kind. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats that all have particular needs, and she took the time to learn about navigating these "waters" with such consideration and professionalism. She exudes positive energy and prioritizes creating a trusting relationship with each of them, and the humans. She keeps us informed leading up to her stay, during her time with them, and after leaving. We are so grateful to work with Diane, and having our little fuzzy monsters in her care is a such a relief when we are away from home!

Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a part time art instructor and online Art Therapy student. I prioritize attentiveness and timeliness in my teaching as well as dog walking and sitting. I love all animals, have dog walked locally on and off since I was in middle school, and have had a dog of my own for 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I am an active person and look forward to taking your pet on frequent walks, or even runs! I’m currently working part-time and attending online school, so I have a lot of availability for overnight dog sitting, as well as many walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Besides a few mid-day classes and teaching the occasional night class, my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I treat all pets the way I would want my own dog, Sailor, to be treated. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities! I aim to create a stress free experience for you, and a fun experience for your pet.

We absolutely loved having Abby watch our pups! She took such great care of them and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home, and our house was spotless. It’s clear she treated our home and our pups with genuine care. We truly appreciated the peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Abby—she’s wonderful! 🐾💛

Camille is the best! She’s dog sat for our senior dog Rex a few times and it’s always good to know he’s well taken care of. She made him homemade treats, sends daily updates and photos and goes out of her way to be accommodating about drop off/pick up times. Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for a caring , easygoing person to care for your dog!

Claude took care of my bernese mountain dog Glen Coco in my home while I was away on vacation, and they were an incredible caretaker for my girl. Glen Coco can be nervous with new people and hasn’t stayed with a non-relative in over 5 years, but she warmed up to Claude immediately at our meet-and-greet, and from the photos they sent, it was very obvious that Glen Coco was super happy and comfortable during the entire stay. Claude was very thorough in their communication and provided lots of great updates during my week away. They went above and beyond in their care for Glen Coco, spent lots of time loving on her, and made sure any issues were addressed promptly. They were also super respectful of my space and left my home in great condition. I will happily book them again for future stays!

Stephanie is simply amazing. Our pups love her and she is so easy to work with, she’s great. Once we start planning a trip one of our first moves is to make sure Stephanie can house sit and pup sit our two pooches and once we know she’s able to, our trip planning always gets so much easier. Stephanie is a really hard worker and is often busy working, but when she’s staying with our pups she ALWAYS make sure she has quality time for our doggos and when we are out of town and she’s with our pups she gives us regular updates on how they’re doing, which are always very appreciated.

A wonderful house and cat sitter! We were worried about our 6/7 week old kitten but Eren was able to help care for our kitten. We came back to a clean litter box and a happy cat! She even helped with her claws and was careful with her, and we are so grateful both our home and cat were safe with her. Highly recommend!

We had Cheryl watch our senior dog, who had only ever been left overnight with family before, so I was definitely a bit nervous. Cheryl was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease right away. She took such great care of our dog and kept us consistently updated, which meant so much to us. We could not be happier with the experience and will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future. Highly recommend!
