“Shawn did a fantastic job taking care of my dachshund over three days. He was prompt and thorough. Followed instructions to the letter. Totally pampered my guy with long walks to his favourite spots and administered his meds as needed. Recommend him highly and plan to use him again when I have to be out of the house for work etc.”
2. Hanaya D.
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
3. Holly M.
“Holly is a dependable, trustworthy and loving person. I highly recommend her. I know my dog is in great hands when she’s in charge of taking care of him. She’s been working with me for almost a year now and she’s absolutely wonderful. If you need someone that you can trust and depend on to take care of your pet as well as you do, you need to hire Holly.”

“David has been an amazing dog-sitter for our dog Franny! We can’t say enough good things about him. We chose David because of his extensive experience caring for all different kinds of dogs. He’s watched Franny many times and is consistently reliable and communicative. He’s thoughtful, attentive, and so caring towards Franny. She is always so excited to see him and spend time with him. We couldn’t be more grateful and highly recommend him!”

18. Katherine M.
“Katherine is amazing with animals. She has had lots of experience and is extremely responsible. She is very caring and loving. Her being a nurse, has come in handy at times for pets that need special care. She will do everything she can to make sure your pet is well taken care of.”
19. Wendy R.
“Wendy is fantastic. She walked my dog all week (who isn’t always the easiest dog to take on walks) but did a great job and gave him a great workout. She showed up on time, went for good leisurely walks and let me know if anything was amiss. One day my pup wasn’t feeling well and she even stayed late to make sure he was ok and settled in! Would definitely recommend especially if you need a repeat walker.”
20. Susana R.
“It’s always a good sign when you come home and your dog greets you but not with the anxiety of “how could you have left me”. Susana walked and plaid with my pup as she said she would. Thank you very much!”
