“Beth has been such a Godsend as I have had to travel for work. My kitty has health issues and she has been so good to him...and to my dog when she can't travel with me. She is truly a pet lover....and you can trust her implicitly with your home.”


“Christine accommodated a last minute schedule change where we needed her 2 extra days. She was patient and loving with my very scared boy. He was comfortable and happy in no time thanks to her TLC. She left my home immaculate. I felt so much more at ease knowing she was watching my precious pup. Thank you times a million for making our first time leaving Sport so much easier. Also, the pictures were very much appreciated.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received. Rebekah was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a natural affinity for the job. Both my dog and cat loved her, Rebekah made sure they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with Rebekah again. Shes a 10/10”


About: I have experience with dogs since I was young , and I really enjoy them. I have 3 dogs of my own, they are all males and all vaccinated. Some background about my dogs from oldest to youngest: Tazz(medium-chow/lab-8 months), Romeo (small-Chihuahua mix-7 months). I am excited to be able to dog sit many other friends! I have a medium size backyard but enough space to play , and also very lucky to have a large park across my neighborhood. I've dog-sitted dogs before for my family and friends and never had any issues. I am available during the weekends and some weekdays. I’ve also volunteered before in pet shelters like the Hspca and HSS. I also do photography so I will keep you updated with some nice photos of your pets. Don't be fooled I also love cats but I just don't own any yet. I am willing to change my availability if needed. In other words I am flexible but feel free to ask any questions!!!

“Courtney recently watched our elderly cat, who can be a bit difficult with new people, over the holidays. She handled him, and our home, with the utmost care. We are so grateful and will gladly book again next time!”



“Brianna was a delight to have watch our pack and cared greatly for our home while we were away for a week. We enjoyed our vacation with no worries our pups and cat were in great hands... upon our return the animals concurred and had a great time with her.”


“Michaela got back to me quickly to house sit and keep an eye on our pups. Sadly, our elderly lab passed before she was set to watch them. She was very sweet and patient with me as I was very stressed leaving our younger Aussie doodle behind, she’s never been without our lab and def not without both our lab and us. She kept us updated and was flexible with her time. She even came and spent extra time when we were going to be late knowing I was nervous about her adjusting to being alone. We came home to a happy dog and clean house. We are very grateful and would love to have Michaela help us with Lilly again in the future now that they’re buddies!”


“Our first time leaving our puppy for the evening was a little unnerving, but Heaven was great with him. He was a little anxious at first, but settled down quickly. We felt comfortable knowing that Heaven was with him for the evening. She has a calming demeanor and really cares for the dogs. We were worried that he would act up during the night, but Heaven handled him brilliantly. We are very pleased with the service and especially Heaven.”

“Alicia connected extremely well with our dog and took great care of him while we left town for the weekend. She was able to administer medicine successfully. She also communicated with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and updates of how much fun they were having. She stayed the weekend to give our elderly dog extra support and took great care of the house by cleaning up after herself. We are thankful that we met and found someone who is respectful and cares so much for our dog.”
