House Sitting in Scarborough

“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

“Wow is all that we can say! Amazing experience! Nishat truly went above and beyond for our 12 week old puppy and not only took great care of him but also took great care of our house while we were away for a week. Our puppy had to take different medications and had many needs that we were nervous about but Nishat put our minds to ease and met all his needs and I was amazed at her knowledge, care and treatment of our puppy and our place like they were her own. She sent us updates every day to let us know how he was doing and it was so clear to us that he was in good hands, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. She was so responsive and present and it was by far our best experience on Rover. I really can’t recommend Nishat enough for anyone looking for a sitter. We would not hesitate to hire her again. There’s no one else I would rather have watch my baby. She’s the best! Thank you so much Nishat we appreciate you!”

“Griffin was an great sitter for our animals. Very thorough with communication, and always sent updates with photos and how each of our pets were doing. It puts your mind at ease knowing someone like Griffin has your pets best interest in mind. We definitely will book with him again!”

“We had an excellent experience with Courtney. She sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs received regular exercise and plenty of attention, and it was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for as well. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-maintained home. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive pet care.”

“Elizabeth did an incredible job taking care of my large (very special) dog, Bonito. He has some reactivity and can be a bit of a tough but to crack and he immediately felt at home with her. I cannot recommend her services highly enough!”

Aiden T.

“Rachael was absolutely wonderful caring for our dogs! We have a senior dog with extra needs as well as a younger, very energetic dog, and Rachael provided dependable, loving care to both. We received updates and photos while we were away, and Rachael kept us well informed with how our pups were doing. She also was very responsible in our home, and left things in even better shape than before she arrived. We would highly recommend Rachael to others, and will certainly be reaching out to her again as future dog sitting needs arise.”

“Amy is a lovely sitter! She took great care of Yoshi and I could tell how happy he was through all her updates and upon my return home. Highly recommend working with her.”

“We love having Viva watch our dog, Gretchen! She is so good with our pup and sends lots of pictures and updates. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

“I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.”

“It was great to have John stay in our house and watch our dear Dora for a week while we were out of town. He kept us in the loop throughout the stay and was a great guest and dog sitter.”

“Megan did an outstanding job looking after our pets (and home). She provided lots of pictures and updates which was really appreciated. Megan also went above and beyond with cleaning up our house from her stay. It’s always a relief to come home after a trip to a clean house and well cared for pets.”

“Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!”

“Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.”

About: They/them pronouns; unfortunately for health reasons I can only work with non-smoking households. We can negotiate, if smoking is only ever done outside. I sometimes work with my spouse, especially if there's more than one dog in the home or you'd like me to stay overnight (this is for my safety), to make it even easier for your pet to receive the walks and attention they need. I will bring this up when we talk, giving you an opportunity to let me know if you're okay with us working as a duo or not. I have never lived in a home without dogs or cats for more than a year. Furry friends are vital to me and I understand how wonderful and magical it is to have each unique pet in our lives. I have 10+ years of daily cat care experience, and 15+ of daily dog care experience. Additionally, I have previous employment history working directly with puppies under 6 months of age, and playing with and doing basic training for dogs in need of plentiful stimulation. My own cats have sensitivities and quirks that require special care, and I'm ready and qualified to listen to and adhere to your loved one's unique care needs. I also have experience with senior dogs and love to work with them! <3 At this time I am able to devote my full day/night into looking after your pet! Every day my spouse and I work from home and care for our cats. I am able therefore to give your pets the same VIP attention and care throughout the day, any day of the week. The only exception is that sometimes I have 2-3 hour as-needed work outside my home to meet client demands. When this happens, I know in advance and will be able to communicate with you clearly if I can't be with your pet 24/7 on a specific day before we commit to anything. For me, the biggest concern is your pet's safety and comfort. I keep a watchful eye on all pets in my care to ensure I know where they are and what they're doing, and I keep their environments free of debris and hazards. I also want to make sure all toys used are approved by you, so there's nothing unexpected. Food will be given exactly as instructed, and I treat health conditions and unique needs and concerns for your pet with the utmost responsibility. I also will treat your home with respect and leave things as I find them. Your instructions and preferences will be followed to a T.

“Great sitter for our energetic 2yo border collie mix. Very friendly and responsive!”

“Celine was a very gracious sitter, taking her time with our pets and giving them the patience they needed while we were out of town. It was our first time having someone sit over and she's set the bar extremely high! Thank you again, Celine!”

“Joshua did an excellent job with my elderly dog. He walked him on various terrain and kept me updated. He left an adorable “report card” with a Polaroid picture, too. My house was spotless when I returned.”

“Jackiellen has been perfect for us every step of the way! She's an excellent communicator, flexible and accommodating, kind and considerate. She made the whole process super easy and worry-free. And maybe most importantly, she has a very natural connection with our dog and cat, from the first moments they met. We felt super confident leaving our animals in her care and will absolutely call her again. She asked good questions to be sure she was clear on everything needed. She took great photos and sent just the right amount of updates while we were away. She took great care of our home, leaving it even neater than she found it. Honestly, I can't recommend Jackiellen enough.”
