“Nicole was great and Henry seemed very happy with her care over the weekend. It was our second time booking Nicole and we will be using her again! She even brought in our trash bins, which I had forgotten all about, without being asked!”


“We highly recommend Elvia for your cat/house sitting needs! She took care of our cat Dolly and was able to meet all of Dolly’s hands-on needs including a very detailed and intensive feeding protocol. Elvia was very communicative and followed all of our instructions beautifully, and Dolly even began warming up to her despite being a very timid and shy kitty who takes time to trust.”

“Heather was so wonderful with our Leo and home! Left everything in perfect condition and kept us updated with pics. Would happily have her back to sit anytime!”

“Emma is an incredible dog sitter. She is super confident in taking care of anyone’s dog, no matter what. Our dog is new to the family, so he still has some things to learn, but she had no problem taking care of him in our apartment for three nights. She’s super communicative, and put our minds at ease, since this was our first trip away from him. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks Emma!”

“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”

“Nicole recently watched our dog, Otis at our house. Otis is nervous around new people and she was very good with him until he got used to her. She was very respectful and responsive. Would book again!”

“Dina was the best! She sent us photos of our dog Dexter through out our whole trip and took such good care of him. She stayed at our home and it was in pristine condition when we came back. I would for sure recommend Dina to anyone and will be using her for all our future trips!”

“Jessica was absolutely amazing at housesitting and taking care of our babies. She communicates wonderfully, sends tons of questions, is able to solve problems without freaking out, and doesn’t hesitate to let you know if things happen. We absolutely loved having her watch our dogs, it made going on vacation less stressful knowing they were with her!”

“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”
About: Constant TLC (Tender Loving Care) for Every Furry Friend! I also work at a Doggy Daycare which has given me tons of hands-on experience with dog behaviour and care. I'm currently working 30 hours a week so my availability for caring for pets outside work has increased. I have a plenty of space during week days and weekends to care for your furry pals. I have experience handling dogs who may not be used to friendly strangers. I can easily make them warm up and make them feel like I'm just a another member of their family.
“This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)”

About: Pets have always been part of my family, so caring for them feels natural to me. As a young teenager I learned how important it is to give them consistent attention, love, and structure. Over the years I have taken on the responsibility and privilege of caring for folks’ pets while they traveled, making sure they felt safe and happy in their routine. I would love to offer that same peace of mind to others. Your pets will be treated like family, receiving steady companionship, playtime, and affection while you are away. I work early mornings as a bread baker, which means my afternoons and evenings are wide open for pet care. I have plenty of time during the hours most people are busy at work, so your pet will get attentive care, regular walks, and the companionship they need throughout the day. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and always follow each owner’s specific routine. However you care for your pets day to day, I will keep that same structure in place so they feel comfortable and secure while you are away.
“Alexandra was great! We left her with our 10 week old kitten and she did an amazing job of keeping him entertained and out of trouble. She sent us lots of updates and went above and beyond to make sure that Bergamot was well cared for. We'll definitely be using her again.”

“Maria took great care of our German Shorthaired Pointed while we were away for 5 days. I greatly appreciated the daily photos of our pup. She has a true love for animals and treated our girl like her own - I would highly recommend Maria to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!
