About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

“I absolutely loved Donna! My dogs loved her too. She took great care of them, even giving them their medications without any problem. She kept me updated with pictures and messages every day, which made me feel at ease while I was away. I could tell my dogs were very comfortable and happy with her. You can really see that she loves animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter!”

Frida loves you! :-) Thank you for taking great care of our fur baby.”

About: I've been taking care of my own small-medium size dogs for the past 15 years. I currently have two dogs, a Shih Tzu and a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I also pet-sit for neighbours and friends! I want to share my love of all things dogs to those who need their fur babies taken care of! I have patience, and attention to detail and will make sure your pet is always safe and secure! I currently work from work and am available during the week and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule and can work with you to meet your dogs scheduling needs! As a dog owner myself, I understand that each pet has its unique personality and behaviour. I will adapt and learn your pet's behaviours and tendencies to keep them safe and secure. I strive to create a comfortable and loving environment for your furry friend and to make them feel at ease in all environments.

“This would be like our 3rd time using Rahied! He was absolutely great as usual! He went above and beyond for Cobra! I think Cobra misses him and especially his son already! 😆😁”


“I had a great experience with Destiney! She was professional, super friendly, and really took the time to understand and care for my dog’s needs. My dog has some anxiety, but Destiney made both of us feel at ease. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care and could tell she genuinely loves what she does. I’d definitely book again without hesitation!”


“This was my first time using Rover. George was great he was very communicative as and comforting. He did a great job of getting my not so friendly dog comfortable. I definately recommend him and his service. He will be my first pick in the future.”
