“I have been pet-sitting on and off Rover for many years now. Recently, when I've been unavailable to help some of my regulars, I connected them with Brooklynn because she loves dogs, is very responsible, and is a great communicator.

16. Seth M.
About: I'm a lifelong dog owner and have enjoyed the experience of teaching my daughters the joys and responsibilities of caring for our dogs. As lead parent, I've been passionate about opting for daily outdoor adventures with my daughters and dogs and have often heard, "Boy, you have your hands full!", to which I have always replied, "I need to keep everybody happy somehow." Romps on the beach or marsh, trail running, and biking or rollerblading the Eastern Trail are just a few of our favorites. Over the past few years, we've said goodbye to our beloved Boss and Kona. We're still craving dog energy around our home and outdoor adventures, and want to assist other families in the Scarborough community to achieve "a tired dog, a happy dog" experience that we've known and love. We feel blessed to have a doggy daycare buddy, Finnegan, with us most weekdays and he is dog friendly. I work from home while my daughters are in school and am off with them during the summer months. We are available to care for your dog throughout the day and evening, and love boarding dogs for overnights. Summer hours are very flexible for walks. During the school year we can walk your dog weekdays after 3:30PM; or as scheduled outside of those hours upon request. My Mondays and Fridays tend to be light on my primary work and I carve out time for doggy adventures and exercise. We can accommodate based on your needs and recommendations specific for your dog(s). Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues beforehand. If any medication needs to be administered, I'd be glad to assist.
17. Karen & Steve B.
“Karen and Steve were great with Crosby. He had only been there one other time, but ran to the door and settled right in. This is not his typically behavior. We had a 100% confidence he was well taken care of and will definitely book again.”
18. Anna F.
“Anna is amazing with pets! She looks after my dog and cat whenever I go out of town for a couple years now. She’s always super responsible and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets!!!”
19. Lindsay E.
“Lindsay was very sweet to my two kitties while she watched them over a weekend while I was away. She was very quick to respond whenever I had messaged her and she sent some cute photo updates!”
20. Sydney B.
“Sydney is a very responsible and reliable person. She loves animals and is always looking for opportunities to be around them. She has worked for me professionally in my business and is a hard worker and trustworthy. She helps take care of and train our 2 dogs who absolutely love her.”
