“Kristyne watched our 6-year-old Cavapoo for 7 nights and was so amazing with our pup! Our dog is a timid and sweet girl who always takes a couple of days to adjust to a new place. Kristyne kept us updated with photos and check ins, and asked questions when she had them. She took such good care of her with lots of snuggles, play time, and walks. We are so grateful and would definitely have our dog visit with Kristyne again!”


“Aly was extremely helpful when watching my cat. Made sure to keep me updated, even asked how often I’d want updates. Great environment for a dog or cat, accommodated all of my requests and I could tell my cat was happy and entertained there”


“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”



“Lace too great care of my pup over the holidays! This was her second stay and once again she had a blast playing with the pups and came home a happy tired girl.”


“Lyndsey and Evan took amazing care of Azalea. She’s energetic so the fact that they took her on multi/mile hikes and played with her so much was awesome. You can just tell they love animals. Azalea came back happy and tired.”


“Jodi was great in helping us with Stewie! Her home was warming, she sent photos every day, and Stewie looked like he enjoyed his time! Thank you, Jodi!!”


“Julie had a great time with Casey. As this was my first time leaving her, I appreciated the updates and great communication. Will definitely be reaching out to Casey next time I need a sitter!”


“Sean was a great caretaker for Lady. Super convenient and super understanding of all her needs. He sent me lots of pictures and always responded to me super fast. Will be contacting Sean again to take care of Lady! :)”


“Melissa was so thoughtful and loving of my Romeo. She treated him like he was her own. He fenced in back porch is perfect for a small dog like Romeo who wants to explore safely or a big dog that just needs some fresh air. She took him on walks and sent me videos and pictures to let me know he was not only safe, but having fun. We called it a “sleepover” and my pup had so much fun he gave her a million kisses before he left. Her dog is a cuddly love bug who played gently with my 3.8 lb pup. Melted my heart to see them together. I felt at ease with my pup staying with Melissa and her pup and that made happy. Thank you Melissa! From Romeo and I! We’ll be back for sure!”


“My doggy Mushroom had an awesome time with Minglu and Yilun! They were super communicative and I got tons of photos. They followed all my instructions and took great care of my girl. They have their own very friendly doggies and my pup got along with them very well. Super happy and would totally leave my girl with them again. Thanks!”


About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.

“I had such a great experience boarding my dog with Chris for the weekend! From the very beginning, he was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. He and his wife have a small dog and a cat of their own, which really helped my dog feel more at ease and comfortable in their home. Chris has a genuine love for animals. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does. He kept me updated the entire time with pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how happy my dog was. I could tell my dog was well cared for and having a great time. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”


“This was our first time boarding our 7 year old Shiba Inu and Yuanyuan took great care of him! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos of him enjoying meeting new friends, and trying new snacks. We're glad we found a reliable dog sitter in our area that our dog likes!”



“Debbie was wonderful with my Scout. I got lots of updates while I was gone, which was appreciated especially since it was Scout’s first time qway. We will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend.”


“Julie was great! It is clear that she cares so much about animals. She was easy to coordinate with and receptive to all of the things we told her about our dog. Easton had a blast running around the yard with her dog and he came home exhausted. Absolutely will use Julie again!”


“Bear, our energetic 10.5 yr old poodle, had a great time with Tessa (and Charlie) while we were out of the country. Tessa was great with communication from start to finish and kept us updated while we were away with notes and pictures. She (and Charlie) ensured Bear was part of their pack! She also made sure he ate well, especially with his picky diet and finicky eating patterns. He came back to us happy! We would absolutely call upon Tessa again to care for Bear while we are away.”


“Sarah and family were an awesome host. Winnie was very comfortable, was treated and well taken care of. Would recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs.”



“Amazing! If I could give more then 5 stars I would :) Great family and Lucy had a blast. I felt so comfortable and Wendy made everything so easy. What a great family and Lucy enjoyed her time with the entire family. I hope to use Wendy and her family again, as Lucy had a blast. It was great to know Lucy was being so well taken care of while we were away.”


“Emily was great with our dog shichon Gizmo. We usually leave him with family but since that wasn’t possible this time we searched out a sitter. It can be hard when you have a small dog to find a good fit and someone you trust to take care of him. We met up prior to our trip and she seemed really knowledgeable and genuinely interested in our dog and his needs. He seemed to get along well with her adorable dog as well so was a good match. He tends to like a home with only one or two other dogs or he gets overwhelmed. She sent us pics of him on a walk and playing and be looked happy and to be having fun! I felt so relieved! I will definitely be using Emily again in the future and highly recommend!”


“Calvin is the best pet sitter, truly! I received so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I genuinely felt very safe leaving my girl with him over the weekend. I couldn’t recommend him enough and will definitely get in touch the next time we need a sitter!!”

Our year old puppy who is not used to being left spent most of 2 days and a night at Debbie’s and she did really well. We also did a meet & greet ahead of time which I would recommend for any dog who may be shy or nervous. Debbie has a warm personality and took very good care of our puppy. She clearly wants all of her boarders to be comfortable. She even walked our pup and sent many pictures over the course of the stay, one of all 3 pups napping on the sofa:) I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone needing a sitter!

Sean did a great job watching our two older high maintenance dogs. Very responsive and easy to work with. Would highly recommend.

Minglu and Yilun are excellent— I can’t recommend them enough. It’s clear they’re both dog lovers and took extraordinary care of our goldendoodle puppy. They have two dogs and our pup clearly enjoyed playing with them — she came home tired out and actually didn’t want to leave! They sent us videos and photos so we always felt well informed and knew she was in good hands. Would definitely use again!

Erin watched our pup on short notice on a holiday week - she was flexible, communicated well, gave us daily photo updates and took great care of our dog - we would definitely use her services again!

Emily was the best! Super responsive and gave me updates the whole time during Teddy’s stay with her overnight. Teddy came back happy as can be and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

Karen and her family are truly amazing and have brought so much joy to my dog’s life. I could not recommend her enough and am so grateful for her!

lauren and her family were wonderful! lots of pictures and communication! we didn’t worry about tilly at all! would leave her with lauren (and will) whenever needed!

Calvin was great with Floyd and helped him feel at home during his stay. Calvin was also great with providing updates, and Floyd looked like he was having a blast in the photos. I would definitely book again with Calvin in the future!

We are very happy with Lisa. Cosmo being a dog who takes time to warm up , she made her best to make sure Cosmo felt comfortable at her place . She was too good in providing detailed updates about Cosmo , also made sure to send a pic or video of Cosmo.Highly would recommend Lisa!

Thank you for taking care of my dog! We run late, and are grateful to Larry being flexible with pick up time.
