“Libby was amazing!! She made everything so easy - sending pictures throughout and keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. She also took great care of our house and even brought in our packages. We highly recommend and will definitely book again.”

“Another fantastic stay with Ericka! Super attentive and responsive - followed all instructions for or 3 senior dogs that need a little extra love and attention! Super happy repeat customers! Thanks, Ericka!!”
“David was a fantastic sitter for my dog and cat. He asked questions to make sure he would maintain their normal routines when needed and sent regular updates/photos. They were both very well taken care of and very comfortable with David, which I can say confidently as my cat didn’t even give me the cold shoulder when I came home (as he’s been known to do). Thanks so much David, hopefully you’ll be available the next time I need a sitter!”

“Connor was great with our cat and small dog while we were away. Our cat is typically a loner but seemed to have bonded with him while we were gone which is impressive!! We got lots of photos daily and he communicated well. Thanks CK!”

“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”


“Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!”

“Matthew was simply wonderful watching our home and four pets for 6 days! We had never been able to go on a long trip until now. Matthew went above and beyond and kept us updated daily with photos and extras. We are so grateful for his kindness and ease with our babies. We highly recommend him and will use his services in the future.”

“This was the second time we've worked with Heather and we look forward it every time! She provides detailed updates throughout the day, checks in when necessary, sends the cutest pictures of our dog, and most importantly, makes our dog feel loved while we're away. She handles working with an elderly dog with grace, especially given his medication schedule and separation anxiety. We know our dog is in fabulous capable hands while we're gone. She's a delight to have as a house guest and goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks for your help, Heather!”

“Jayne is always fantastic! We had last minute sitter needs and she was very flexible and able to take care of our kitty on very short notice. Can’t recommend her enough!!”

“Evan was great! Very good with handling Delilah and providing updates on her as well as not being afraid to ask clairfying questions for things I forgot to mention in her care plan”

“The best pet sitter we’ve ever had (in over 10+ years)! She was very communicative and I felt very at ease knowing our fur babies were in good hands. 100% recommend and will be using her again.”

“Wallis went above and beyond to enable a reservation for us. Her updates during reservations are well timed, helpful, and informative. The action shots she has captured have been hilarious (#husky). Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”


About: I’ve grown up with animals and pet sat since I can remember. I’ve helped train puppies, care for elderly dogs, and have provided the same love and care for all of the furry friends that I would for my own! I am comfortable around all dogs and cats and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal. I work a typical 8-hour day in the city, but am happy to work around my work schedule to give your animal the care that they need. I follow directions, put things back where I found them, and don’t go looking in places I wasn’t invited. I will make sure everything is clean and tidy before I leave!
“Milica was amazing with our babies! They seemed like they had so much fun while we were gone and were so grateful to be able to stay in their home together. She left everything neat and tidy and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

Alexis was absolutely amazing and we will be booking her again! Our older dog takes a little time to warm up to someone usually, but he warmed up to Alexis immediately from the meet and greet - he’s a very good judge of character. Our puppy Millie was so comfortable with her that she slept in her arms, when she doesn’t even do that with us usually. Alexis played with both of them and sent plenty of photos and videos. She left our home clean and is just the greatest to communicate with. She is very responsive and thoughtful. Book her if you can!

Madison was absolutely amazing with our dog Tato! She was very communicative the entire time from before the booking to during and on our way home. She completely catered to our his needs and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her! I already booked with her again!

There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.

Sarah did a great job watching my pups and my house! She followed all safety precautions to make sure my crazy street dog didn’t escape and was patient through the fact my huskies were blowing their coat and my groomer cancelled my appt last minute. My house was exactly how I left it and my dogs were well cared for. I highly recommend!
