“Robyn went above and beyond in dealing with our cats different personalities and expertly dealt with some unexpected unfriendly behavior from one of them. She came up with a great solution when our medicated cat was being too difficult to handle and provided great daily updates. Super quick to respond to messages and eased our minds on leaving our cats for a longer period of time”
“Amazing!!! My Dalmatian, true to Velcro dog nature, has bad separation anxiety.. I left jiji in Helena’s care and she really treated her exceptionally. Enough photos showing her happy & healthy to make any nervous pup mom calm. There really isn’t anything Helena could’ve done more for Jiji & I. Will book again !!! ???”

“Teresa did an amazing job taking care of our 18 year old doggy, Freckles. She is experienced with caring for senior dogs and made us feel so calm while on our family vacation. She was patient and went the extra mile with Freckles. 10/10 recommend using Teresa!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have developed a deep fondness for them. I've been taking care of my family's two dogs for years, alongside that I worked at the doggy daycare, Kiwidogz, for a year and have experience with dog sitting and dog walking from family and friends. Working at a doggy daycare futhered my experience with dogs by introducing me to a variety of breeds and sizes where I not only watched and cleaned up after them but trained the dogs as I did so. I love all time spent animals, so I try and spend most of my free time cherishing them. Unfortunately I am unavailable Monday-Friday from 7:30am-3:00pm. I also currently have a job that grants me with a selective availability that is dependent on my weekly schedule. With that, I prefer requests made no sooner then 3 days in advance or requests made 2+ weeks in advance. I care for all animals with precaution and understanding. With my experience and training courses, I have learned different signs dogs can portray and what those mean and how to react quickly. I understand when a dog is scared and I know how to respect its boundarys while still asserting myself as in charge but more importantly still show that I am someone your pet can trust. So, I will care for my client's pets with respect of the home and the animal.
“Razion went above and beyond! We really appreciated the daily feedback and the photos sent each day. This assured us that Taco was being well cared-for.”
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
About: Other people have entrusted me to take care of their fur babies ever since I was 13 years old. I do have some puppy experience I currently work full time and take care of my own dog before work after work and late night. I will give the dog mental stimulation and enrichment When training my own dog I treated the crate like it was disney world for her. I will treat your dog like a member of my family.
“Victoria walked our dog Kelce and also checked in on our cat Leo when we went on vacation. She did a great job and is a natural with animals. They both loved her. Will be using her moving forward for sure. Book Victoria!”
“I was already on vacation when my original sitter let me down but Ashley came to my rescue and took such good care of my pups, Finn and Fred. She was very accommodating and sweet to my babies. Will definitely reach out to her in the future”

About: Hi there! 🐾 My partner and I both grew up around dogs, have had our own dogs, and are foster dog parents. We'd love the opportunity to cuddle and take the very best care of your pup. Think of us as your dog's godparents! We know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies so we would love to ease that worry for you and take very good care of your pets. We will send photos/videos and keep you updated throughout the stay! We both work from home so we will stay with your pet. With our flexible schedule, we'll be able to keep to your dog's normal routine and schedule with walks, potty, meal time, and play time! We have a crate, bed, and plenty of treats and toys. We also have a huge fenced-in yard where we can play fetch and run around. I believe dogs need to be stimulated mentally and physically. In addition to getting good exercise through daily walks, I also have lots of toys and balls, sniff mats, lick mats, and food puzzles. I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!

I will provide multiple walks throughout the day. I can dog sit at your house or my house. I have plenty of parks nearby for walks. There’s also hiking trails nearby.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and did over night visits. For friends and family. I also have taken care of puppies that were 6 months. I’m currently working part time at Costco. I normally work night shift and have two days off. I could walk dogs in the morning or at night I normally feed them twice a day once in the morning and the other at night. I would walk them three or four times a day. I would then take them outside to either play or run around in a safe environment.
