“Shannon is the greatest sitter! She is so kind, sweet and loving. Shannon house sat for me and took care of Roxy for an entire day. She helped me when I was in a pinch! Roxy and I had a successful meet and greet with her the day before. Roxy loves her! Shannon gave me both picture and text updates throughout the day. She really had to navigate Roxy's nuances and personality since it was their first sit together and Roxy has separation anxiety. When I came home Roxy was very happy and not in distress which shows me that she had a great day. I will definitely be booking Shannon again!”

“This is the first time we used a home-sitter for my pet. Kaitlin did an excellent job! My pet has trust issues, but she was patient and gave her lots of love. She sent me updates every morning and night on how my pet was doing and sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the day. I will definitely use Kaitlin again.”

“Highly recommend Emma! Great communication, sent photos often and even found a dog park to take them to. She was able to house sit for us last minute and gave our pups a lot of love.”

“Marie-Pierre was the perfect fit for our full house (2 dogs, including a puppy, and one cat). She sent regular updates with pictures and videos and was so attentive to all our boys. Can’t wait to have her sit for us again!”

About: I grew up in a family that always had multiple dogs, and with a veterinarian dad, I learned early how to care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes — my own, plus pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. It’s a priority for me to let every dog take their time, feel comfortable, and build trust at their own pace. I’m gentle, reliable, and treat every dog like family and ’ll care for your dog with the same attention I give my own. I currently work a part-time job in the mornings, so I’m available for pet care most afternoons and full days on certain weekdays. • Thursday - Sunday : available after 1pm • Monday - Wednesday : fully available all day I’m flexible with walk times, check-ins, and longer visits, and I’m happy to discuss a schedule that fits your dog’s routine!! I know how important trust is, especially with anxious dogs, so I always give pets space and let them warm up at their own pace. I follow routines closely whether that’s with meds, feeding, walks and safety is always my top priority in and outside the home.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I started walking neighborhood pups in high school and cared for pets throughout college. I’ve trained several of my own and now have a dog of my own, too. I’m all about long walks, belly rubs, and yes, I’ll run with your high energy dog if that’s what they need!

I take time to understand each pet’s needs, from feeding schedules to favorite napping spots or walking routes. I’m experienced with anxious or shy pets and always move at their pace, offering calm reassurance and space when needed. I’m also comfortable administering medications if required. I treat your home with respect and keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
About: Ive been taking care of pets all of my life. From cats to dogs, guinea pigs, iguanas, birds and fish! No animal is too big or too small! Experienced in bottle feeding, administering medication, and training. Every pet deserves to feel like they're on vacation too and there will be no lack of love and care as this is less of a job and more of a passion for me. I have a very flexible schedule as I work three to four days a week from 9 pm to 2 am. I have a lot of time for walks and daily activities! I live in a townhome with a park less than 20 feet away if boarding is needed. Safety and care is my number one priority.
About: I’ve always had a passion for training my dogs, since I started reading books about the subject I have learned how to understand their behaviors and needs, create a bond with them and grow a loving relationship with them while being able to teach and guide them how you want. I’m usually available throughout the week, only on friday afternoons I leave home to take care of my kids for the weekend and then back available on mondays I like to learn and stick to their usual habits to keep them stress free. I only take care on clients homes since my aunt runs a day care at home
