“Mel did such a great job at making sure my fur baby was taken care of while I was away! With the few instructions I gave him, my kitty was all set and looked after and I felt at ease the entire time I was away! Especially with all the pictures!!! Thanks so much Mel !!”

“Ignacio was great with our older dog, Sunny. He helped us while we were gone for a weekend and he was wonderful with keeping us updated. Sunny was well cared for and we will definitely use him again!!”

“Sunny was great! She was very kind and sent updates. She made herself available and was very professional when my cat threw up while she was there. Definitely recommend her!”

“Ericka did an amazing job looking after our 3 kitties! She is clearly very experienced, loves animals, was very communicative and took great pics. Our kitties are normally really shy and she was able to get them to eat and come out. Very happy with Ericka and will hook again!”

“Sarah helped take care of my little guy over the weekend. She was a quick study for an old cat with a few extraordinary needs. She showed up at the requested times and provided adequate summaries. Her care for my Wyatt was spot on.”

“This is our second time having Larissa watch our cat Electra, and I couldn't be any happier! Electra is very shy and doesn't normally warm up to people. But ut she warmed right up to Larissa and cuddled up to her. It was amazing!!! Larissa took great care of her and our home. I highly recommend her”

“Michael was great. We had four cats, one which had to be kept separate and another with special needs, and he took care of them with no issues. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Sara was an incredible sitter that is extremely reliable and caring. She did a fantastic job with our stubborn German Shepherd and gave us peace of mind while away. We look forward to working with Sara again and can't recommend her enough!”

“They took excellent care of our 16 yo Chihuahua and 8 yo cat! They were very thorough, always refilled food/water, gave treats, played with them, made sure they had potty time, and even brought in packages left outside. Definitely recommend booking these two if you want peace of mind your pets will be well cared for.”
“Charlotte dropped by our place to take care of our kittens while we were away and was wonderful with feeding, taking care of litter, and making sure the kitties were happy!”

About: I’ve been looking after dogs and cats since I can remember. I grew up in the UK in a house full of animals. I would look after neighbours dogs in my spare time and have always loved meeting and caring for dogs and cats young and old. I’m currently working part time and wfh in King William so I have plenty of time to look after your doggies. My flexible work allows me to be flexible to your schedule! My wife and I have a yard and a super friendly dog called Loney. He’ll be just as excited to see and care for your doggies as I will! We live just off the river walk in King William so there are loads of walks to be had. It’s also an easy central location to travel anywhere needed.

“Joshua was an absolute lifesaver! Leaving my peta for a whole month was tough, but Joshua put my mind at ease. My pups were so happy and well-cared for when I got back. I could tell they really bonded with him. If you need a trustworthy and loving dog sitter, Joshua is your guy!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets on and off my whole life. We had two dogs growing up and cats as well. I’m always up for taking care of my best friend’s dog whenever they need it! Currently I work fulltime but I have my weekends free most of the time. I typically get off right at 5pm so I’m also free in the afternoon / evenings. If I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, it’s best that the animal feels comfortable with me so I’ll rely on whatever instructions / tips you’ll leave with me.

I am very communicative with my clients as my animals are my babies and I want to ensure they are safe and happy while I am away and I ensure my clients are updated with how their furry companion(s) are handling their absence. Due to having 4 dogs and a medium sized cat, I no longer offer boarding at my home however my schedule for house sitting and drop in visits / walks is usually pretty open.

Mel is so amazing. We have one very spicy pet and three very tiny ones who are a handful. Mel is amazing with all of them. Don’t wait to book him. He is great and your pets will love him! I don’t know what our family would do without him. He’s dependable, professional, thorough and kind to humans and pets.

This is our second time having Larissa watch our cat Electra, and I couldn't be any happier! Electra is very shy and doesn't normally warm up to people. But ut she warmed right up to Larissa and cuddled up to her. It was amazing!!! Larissa took great care of her and our home. I highly recommend her

I can’t say enough great things about Melissa! She is incredibly kind and caring with Milo, and it truly shows in the way he gets so excited to see her. She always goes above and beyond—not only making sure he gets a great walk, but also taking the extra time to clean his paws or dry him off if he gets wet, which I really appreciate. On top of that, she’s so thoughtful and reliable—she even brings our packages inside without being asked. It’s such a relief knowing Milo is in such good hands and that she genuinely cares about his well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly dedicated!

Alondra is great , I can’t recommend her enough! She went above and beyond in every way while taking care of my pets. Not only did she make sure everything was handled perfectly, even dealing with an outstanding issue, she also kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I'm very thankful again for the extra issue with the door.

Allison went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of. :) She even went above and beyond and scooped their litter box for (which wasn’t previously asked of her, as I was only away for one day). She kept me updated and sent pictures during each visit. Thank you, Allison!
