“Anna always goes above and beyond to make our kitties comfortable. Both of our cats have their quirks and this time Fig came out of her shell for Anna more than any other sitter has ever done before - which just speaks to how amazing she & Sam are!”


“Cassandra and Jason are great caregivers for my dog, Teddy. He loves going to their house. They take him on daily walks, play with him in the yard, hang out with him in the house and keep me posted everyday. I have booked with them multiple times and always hope they’re available when I need to go out of town.”


“Christine and Colin are angels! They make it easy for us to leave the pups and enjoy trips with their frequent updates, photos, and treating our dogs like their own. They will always be our go to!”


“Very happy with the care provided to Teddy! I received messages and photographs throughout Teddy's stay with Patches. I was able to extend Teddy's stay last minute and very grateful for that last minute convenience. Would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you!”


“Sarah is the best! I almost don’t want to write a review because I want to gate keep her for myself! My dog clearly loved her, he looked so comfortable and happy in all of the photos she sent me. She made my trip so stress free knowing he was in such great hands. She sent lots of photos and updates, I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”


“Elijah watched our active dog for a weekend and we are so pleased by the care he was given. He seemed to have a great time and be well taken care of. Elijah is a great communicator and clearly loves dog! Highly recommend! Our dog Finn can’t wait to go back!”



“Lilia is very kind, considerate and communicative. She watched our little girl and sent tons of photos so we could see how the visit was going. We really appreciate her watching our pups!”


“Kate was wonderful! She took such good care of my dog while I was out of town! She sent tons of photos and videos, and my dog came home happy, healthy, and worn out from all the playtime. Will absolutely be booking with her again! 🙂”


“I couldn't be happier with the care & attention Aine gave to Kylie. My baby settled in in no time. Aine was so welcoming that both Kylie & I were made to feel very comfortable immediately. She was kind enough to keep me posted with photos & updates which made our separation much easier. I would highly recommend her as an excellent candidate to care for your pet.”


“Marissa was a wonderful sitter for Goose! She gave daily updates and pics, and seemed to be super comforting and considerate of him during this weeklong, rainy stay.”


“Tyler was awesome! Frequent communications and pictures throughout the four day stay. He took Otis for daily walks and to the park and even gave him a bath! :) Would definitely recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: My husband Preston grew up a dog lover with his two yellow labs, and I am a new dog lover after we got our lovely boy Jet a couple of years ago. We are responsible and would love to take care of your fur baby like it’s our own! Preston grew up dog sitting for friends and family where as I have cared for many a friends dogs throughout the years! I am full time work from home with a flexible schedule. We typically bring our dog out i around 10 am and 6pm for about an hour each as well as 20 minutes around 2 and 10 pm but are available for more frequent walks as needed in addition to a backyard, balconies and toys and splash pad! We have 1 dog (2 year old ~60lb boy named Jet). We live near a park and him twice a day for long walks and frequent the greenbelt. We also have a nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy some fresh air! We have a two floor house if your dog needs to be crated or separated for meal/bed times happy to do that as well!

“Rose was wonderful!! She clearly loves animals, and gave my dog a ton of loving care. She’s got a huge backyard and a great setup to look after multiple animals. Will be going back :)”


“Jeff and his partner took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away! From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease knowing our pups would be in great hands. They treated our dogs like part of the family, and it was clear they were both well cared for and truly enjoyed their stay. Our dogs got plenty of attention, love, and playtime—and they especially loved hanging out with their sweet dog, Whiskey! It was such a comfort to know they were having fun and getting along so well. Jeff sent us regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with Jeff again. Highly recommend!”


“I have been having challenges trying to find a dog sitter that didn't accept larger dogs because one of my small dogs loves to attack larger dogs! When I walked in I was so happy to find the perfect place for my small dogs and I could tell they were happy too! Normally one of my dogs gets scared when I leave him and he seemed fine with the situation. All went well - would definitely recommend Chris for your next pup stay!”

“My pup enjoyed his stay with Erika! She kept me updated regularly with pics and videos. It was great that she had other dogs so there was lots of social interaction and playtime”
