“Hannah took such good care of our dogs while we were away. We appreciated receiving updates and photos every day. Our pups are getting older, and it was reassuring to know that they were able to stay at home and be in good hands! Thanks so much!!”


“Erik was fantastic, great communication and actively engaged in asking questions about pet care and understanding their needs ahead of time. During the stay he put my mind at ease with pictures, updates, and made it much easier to be away from my pets and home. He was even able to make some last minute changes work and the animals loved spending time with him. Good vibes all around, definitely recommend! I will be booking with Erik again!”


“Jennifer was great! She watched my three quirky pitty babies over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was great, lots of pictures and all the puppies looked to be having fun :) I would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”


“I’m so glad to have met Randi. She was great with my doggie and very attentive to her needs. She did a great job and I can’t wait to hire again.”


“Katie was great! Both of my babies LOVED her! She sent photos and updated us quickly when anything weird happened! Definitely a relief to have her!”


“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”


About: I have petsat and walked dogs for quite a few years. I grew up with larger dogs and will be sure to treat yours with the utmost love and care. I have experience with animals of all sizes & I can easily adapt to the routine of your fur babies, and will prioritize them above anything else as my love for animals is that immense. I also have experience with cats & rabbits. I have my two cats named Moose & Pebble, 11 parakeets, and a dog named Moo. I update my availability weekly, but I will always be communicative about it. This is something I do in my free time and thoroughly enjoy spending time with doing. I am very passionate about animals. I follow written instructions to a T. I am very respectful of people’s homes and can be trusted. I send hourly updates whenever possible and make sure to be communicative when it comes to your fur baby or any possible questions that may pop up.

“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”


“Allie took fantastic care of my pets. My big dog Jack was 2 days out from a serious leg surgery and I arrived home to him in better condition than when I left. My little dog, Boog had been walked and entertained. My cats met a new friend. I will absolutely be recommending Allie to my friends and colleagues, especially if pets need specialized care. I genuinely did not worry while I was out of town. Oh! And she just dropped off holiday cookies for the boys and *they were so excited to see her*.”


“Thomas was incredible. He took excellent care of Louie and kept me updated throughout the trip!”


“Kayla was a fantastic fur baby sitter! My dogs absolutely adored her, they were well cared for, and I was kept in the loop with their daily activities. I absolutely recommend Kayla, and I will be using her services again in the future. She’s kind, communicative, and respectful of my time and space. I could go on and on, but your pets are in kind safe hands with Kayla!”


“Katheryn did a great job. Appreciated the photos and updates.”


“Nicole was absolutely amazing! I travel quite a bit and find it hard to find someone to fully trust with my boys and she just went above and beyond. She was extremely communicative and listened to all directions. She left my house super clean and I could not recommend her more. If you want to be at ease when you travel then Nicole is the right person to leave with your fur babies.”


“Ashton did a great job taking care of our critters!!! She stayed with them over a long weekend and the house was spotless and all the animals happy as could be when we got home. Thanks Ashton!!!”


“Great communication, and the dogs seemed very well taken care of when I got back. Also, house was in order - would recommend to anyone!”


“Our second time using Karley as a dog sitter. We couldn’t be happier with the her. Benji can be a stubborn and challenging little guy but Karley seems to know how to handle him. We will reach out to her again in the future. Two thumbs up!!”


“JJ was fantastic. She housesat my cat and dog, who were clearly extremely happy with her. She sent regular updates and left the house even cleaner than she found it. Would not hesitate to book again.”


“Kayla was awesome. She took great care of our two cats and our house. She’s a good communicator and and kept us informed during her stay. One of our cats requires medication three times a day, and Kayla didn’t flinch at this extra work. We’re grateful for her attentiveness and gladly recommend her without reservation.”


About: I grew up with three cats and help train dogs through the Leadershape! Now I typically share my dog sitting assistance with my friends (for free even!) although I don’t have pets in my own all animals will find a warm welcoming home here I’m currently working full-time, but I work in the evenings and come home on my breaks so plenty of time to check in on our furry friend during the work week I live in an apartment that has a fenced in yard for dogs and a neighborhood park nearby. I’ve sat for large dogs while living here and their needs have been accommodated!

About: I've had a pet for most of my life! Cats and dogs have been my constant companions. I'm a 49 year old rock climber that loves animals! I work part time at a rock climbing gym and I'm very available to spend time with your fur babies. I'm willing to walk your dog as many as four times a day. I have a fenced yard and a cat that considers hiding her greatest talent! I live near Russell Woods park and will be happy to walk your pet there.
