“We were thrilled using Amber for house and fur baby sitting. Amber is very personable and we love that she is a vet tech by day and was wonderful taking care of our girls! Ty!”

“Kyra was available for us last minute and did so great with our dog, Jenny. Jenny had no issues having Kyra come stay with her. Kyra communicated well with us, was very friendly and super easy to deal with. Would use her again.”

“Emily did a great job watching lavender and midnight! We will 100% be using her again for pet sitting! The animals warmed up to her very quickly. She left the house just as we had left it. If you are looking for a pet sitter Emily is the best around.”

“Mandy watched our two cats and two dogs for the holiday weekend and did a great job! Our dogs are very playful and she understood their needs and gave them lots of attention. Communication was excellent and I appreciated the photos while we were gone.”

“CAundra was amazing with my dogs! She sent pictures and updates every few hours to help keep this anxious dog mom calm while away. Highly recommend booking with her!”

“Makenna was an amazing sitter and I’d be happy to have her help watch Lainey, again. She has a very bubbly personality and will fall in love with your pup quickly. She was quick to respond and sent me plenty of updates and pictures throughout. She left my space as she found it and was very respectful.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with an orange tabby cat who taught me the basics of daily pet care from a young age. In high school, my family adopted a snorkie, and I’ve helped care for him for the past 12 years—everything from daily walks and playtime to grooming and giving medications. I’ve also had my own cat for the past seven years, and through his renal issues I’ve become very familiar with the early signs of urinary blockages, bladder stones, and the importance of special diet management. Because of this, I’m extremely attentive to subtle behavior changes and comfortable supporting pets with chronic or sensitive medical needs. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I am a medical student who spends several hours a day studying, making my schedule perfect for house sitting and using study breaks to take dogs on walks. I have class every week day from 8-12 so I can do anytime after that. Unfortunately, I am unable to do Thursdays due to long lecture and lab times. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like my own. I’m really big on keeping things safe, calm, and consistent so your pet can settle in and feel comfortable. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any little changes—especially since I’m used to managing my own cat’s medical needs. I’m super reliable and I always follow instructions exactly how you give them. You’ll get plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule, handling special diets, or just giving them extra love and attention, I make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for the entire time.
“Ellen was wonderful with my three kitties! My one kitty is 17.5 years old and has higher needs with meds and getting around. Ellen did great with taking care of my old baby! I’ll for sure be booking her again :)”


“Debbie is phenomenal! This was our first time trusting a dogsitter and she made the whole experience so wonderful! She provided frequent updates and pictures that helped put our minds at ease. She did great with our young pupper and we’ll happily book with her again! ?”

“Our original pet sitter bailed on us and with only a week before our 10-day vacation started, I found Morgan. She was able to do a meet and greet with us and Bella, and it was a good fit. With Bella being a reactive dog, I think it took a few day for her to adjust to Morgan, but eventually they became friends. I appreciate the photos that were sent and sweet words about my girl. I understand that Morgan has a day job/school and wasn’t going to be available to be home as much as when we around, but my sister stopped by frequently and thought Bella seemed lonely and clingy. Morgan left our house very tidy and neat. I don’t have any complaints and would recommend Morgan to be your pet/house sitter.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job for the week we were gone! Our dog was still recovering from surgery and not able to walk much. She was quite literally a lifesaver and helped to get Lucy walking again! Highly recommended ❤️”

“Friendly, thorough and easy to work with. All of my animals loved her immediately even though a couple of them are usually skittish. We have 5 animals and Gabby made time for each of them daily. She did house sitting and watered our garden as well. Everything was clean and in order when we returned home after 4 days. We will be calling her any time we need a pet sitter in the future. Highly recommended ?!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I’m 28 years old and have had pets since childhood, which naturally led me to start house and pet sitting at just 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all personalities, ages, and energy levels, and I understand how important consistency and trust are for their well-being. I specialize in in-home pet and house sitting, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while their families are away. I’m kind, caring, and playful, but I also believe in maintaining structure and routine so pets feel secure and balanced. I’m great with walks, playtime, enrichment, and sticking to established schedules, whether that means energetic outings or calm companionship. My goal is always to make both pets and their families feel at ease, knowing their home is respected and their animals are loved, safe, and well cared for. I work remotely, which allows me to be home most of the day and very flexible with my schedule. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, giving me plenty of time to spend with the animals throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and lots of companionship while maintaining their normal routine and stability. Because I’m home so much, pets receive consistent attention, supervision, and comfort, helping them feel relaxed and secure while their family is away. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and secure. I’m happy to stay overnight or during the day, as long as Wi-Fi is available, which allows me to work remotely while giving pets consistent companionship and supervision. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific house or care instructions. I’m attentive to safety at all times—keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets during walks and play, and ensuring their environment stays calm, clean, and familiar. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping it tidy and secure while you’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where pets feel safe, loved, and stable, and families feel confident knowing both their home and animals are in trusted hands.
“Kayley is the best! She checked in with me often, took great care of the home and was patient with my high anxiety Theo. He had an accident in the house and she took care of it all and even brought her cleaner from home to help pick it all up. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!!!”

“Skyler was great! She watched my three dogs, and slept over night. She stayed for 10 nights!! She was so responsible and caring with my three. She sent a few pictures so I would know they were all thriving under her care! She was trust worthy and responsible, leaving my garage door opener on her departure in a pre-selected spot. I would certainly want her to watch my dogs again!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have taken care of my own dogs, as well as family and friends pets for years they have relied on me to walk feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part time and going to school. I care for my dogs on a daily basis I couldn’t imagine life without them, and I will treat your pets with that same respect. I am pretty flexible with my hours and I can accommodate your schedules. I love my own little fur babies with my whole entire heart, and I will treat your fur babies with the same love and care I treat my own. I understand how important for babies are in our lives, and I will keep them safe as well as a watchful eye on them.
About: I’ve cared for animals of every kind ever since childhood. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and take care of their fur babies. I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, dietary needs, and behavior cues to ensure owners are worry-free while their fur babies are stress-free. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine! I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and love- morning, afternoon, and evening. Weekends are flexible too, so your furry friend will always be cared for on your schedule. I care for pets exclusively in their owners’ homes, where they feel most comfortable. I’m very attentive to details and always follow your instructions carefully-from feeding schedules to walk routines and home safety rules. I take great care to ensure both your pet’s safety and my own while in your home, keeping doors secured, maintaining a calm environment, and treating your space with the utmost respect.
About: I have an adorable dog named Callie. I got her at 8 weeks old. She is the love of my life! We do everything together. I will take care of your pet like it is my own! I love helping people with their pet by providing whatever they need help with. Dogs are part of my everyday life. I have 4 days off a week to be with your pet! And when I am not working, I train Callie and walk her and teach her to be a good behaved dog in public. Callie is a certified therapy dog. I will help train your pet to be a well behaved dog citizen in public. I work 3 days a week and am off 4 days. So on the days I am off I will have all day to care for your pet! That could be dog walking, house sitting, check ins, etc. I live in a nice big apartment with my one year old goldendoodle. My dog is able to run freely around the house with lots of walk and potty breaks. There’s trails nearby and we go to dog parks and spend a lot of time outdoors.
About: I’m exceptional in training puppies, cats and dogs. If necessary I can discipline although I prefer positive encouragement towards good behaviour with rewards. I love teaching commands using an animals favourite treat or a clicker, whichever is more effective. When it comes to older animals it’s critical for me to be aware of and understand their history. Dietary restrictions, sleeping/eating habits, medication and application processes, etc. I love all animals but ultimately will treat them as family with the love and support they each deserve. I’m currently unemployed but seeking part time work. My main goal currently is to fill in the gaps of my day to day with joy and happiness that only pets can bring. We all need something to look forward too to make life enjoyable and for me right now that’s figuring out how to play with as many animals as possible. Our home has as expansive enclosed back yard for dogs to run around in and play or simply take a potty break. Our living room and kitchen area are great open places for cats to explore and the basement is very clean and comfortable as well. Although, I prefer to go to a cats home instead because as you know being a cat owner most cats dislike change of environments or any change in general for that matter. When it comes to walks I like to take as many precautions as viable. Dog parks are available and accessible more so during the day. There are plenty of nearby parks in my neighbourhood as well as bike paths and sidewalks. I’m open to any suggestions for locations or preferred methods of transportation as some animals dislike car rides so a simple walk around the block would suffice. I take any and all advice seriously when it comes to the attention and care of your animal.

Jessie did a wonderful job sitting our dogs so we could attend a Christmas concert. We have a new puppy who gets into absolutely everything and Jessie kept her from destroying the house when we were gone LOL! She has also house sat for us in the past while we were on vacation and was a lifesaver! I would not hesitate to give her my highest recommendation!!! If you book with her you can relax and know your babies are in great hands!!!

In the past we had a few issues with in particular one sitter but with Chloe I have zero complaints. We hadn't left Dexter with a sitter for several years because of the bad experience we had but as long as Chloe is available, we will feel comfortable leaving Dexter. We were a little nervous leaving him because how long it had been but when she sent a picture of him sitting on her lap an hour after we left the house, we knew we made the right choice
