“We are so thrilled to have found Kenna to watch our dogs. She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs. We would absolutely recommend her and also would hire her again to stay at our home.”
“Nicole was amazing! She was very professional, communicative before the visit and with updates, and my pup loved her. I will definitely be asking her to house sit again and would highly recommend!”


“Sophia was very flexible with a last minute sitting request for two dogs. She visited the home 3 times per day, walked the dogs 1-2 times per day, fed, and administered medications. The home was kept in the condition it was left in. The dogs were very comfortable and in good spirits after a 3 day sitting. Sophia had good communication and demeanor. She left check in messages and photos with every visit. Would definitely book with Sophia again.”

“Kayla was a fantastic fur baby sitter! My dogs absolutely adored her, they were well cared for, and I was kept in the loop with their daily activities. I absolutely recommend Kayla, and I will be using her services again in the future. She’s kind, communicative, and respectful of my time and space. I could go on and on, but your pets are in kind safe hands with Kayla!”


“Will did an amazing job with our puppy Reesey and kitty Lindy! He was great about keeping us updated on how they were doing and sent tons of pics! We left for the weekend and trusted him to stay at our house, would do it again if needed!”

“Allison watched my two Australian shepherds for a short weekend getaway and she was great! She sent a few photo and video updates and it was very obvious the dogs had a ton of fun playing and cuddling with her. She was also very responsive. Will for sure book with her again!”

“Kristina was fantastic, my dog felt instantly comfortable with her and had a great time hanging out. Kristina is punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend and would book again.”

“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

About: With over 10 years of professional dog walking experience, I’ve had the privilege of building deep bonds with both dogs and their owners. The moment I arrive, tails wag, and owners smile, knowing their pup is in caring, experienced hands. I provide not just exercise, but love, enrichment, and a calm reassurance that brings owners back time and time again. Let me help your dog feel adored every step of the way! As a dedicated dog walker with 10 years of experience, my days and weeks revolve around the joy of caring for dogs. Each morning, I design custom walks and enrichment activities that fit each pup’s personality, while my flexible days let me accommodate both regular clients and new furry friends. Whether it’s a morning power walk or an evening stroll, I bring consistency, care, and a deep love for each dog I walk, ensuring they—and their owners—feel confident and happy every step of the way. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every dog in my care. With over 10 years of experience as a dog walker, I know how vital trust, routine, and a secure space are for every pup. Whether I’m caring for them in their home or on a walk, I honor their daily routines, exercise needs, and individual personalities. I ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and excited for every visit, so both you and your pup can have complete peace of mind.
“Theresa and Adrian did a great job watching Laika. They communicated expectations clearly ahead of time and sent updates throughout the stay. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well taken care of.”

“Taylor was wonderful with our two dogs! Caring for one who is a deaf counter-surfer and another a recent rescue still learning the ropes is no easy task and Taylor handled it excellently. When a chewing issue arose, she contacted me right away and secured the items out of reach. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were safe in our home with such a responsible carer. To top it off, we were welcomed back to a clean home and freshly washed bedsheets! Truly five-star service. Will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on. I work from home during the week and come a go a bit on weekends. I wouldn’t ever be gone more than 8 hours for any animal. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I’m very attentive to pets in my home and make sure that they are in safe environments with everything they need. I am very respectful in other people’s homes and make sure the pets are well taken care of. If boarding at my home, I did just get two roommates who live upstairs and one of them has a cat who is friendly with dogs. There is a door to separate the upstairs as well.
“Hanan was amazing with communication and reassuring us our babies were taken care of! We will definitely be reaching out in the future for any other house sitting opportunities! :)”

“Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

Mary Kay was highly recommended to me by a friend. We were in a pinch and about to leave for 9 days and needed someone to house sit due to our pets' needs (or needy pets!). Mary Kay responded quickly and scheduled a time to come meet us and the cats and tour the house, etc. We're so thankful that she was able to commit with such short notice to stay overnight at our house with our pets. Mary Kay checked in while we were away and was attentive to details, asking questions as needed and sending photos of the cats. She left the house clean, laundry and dishes done, bed made, trash/recycling taken out, litter boxes cleaned and checked in to make sure I arrived back home as planned. She went above and beyond and we're appreciative that she was available to give us peace of mind while away.

If I could give Lauren 6 stars, I would! Lauren went above and beyond caring for our sweet (and sometimes reactive) pitbull. She was everything you could ask for in a house/dog sitter: communicative, caring, proactive, and thoughtful. We so appreciate the attention and love she gave our dog; always keeping us updated with lots of photos. Lauren cared for our home and dog like it was her own and we so appreciate her service! Would not hesitate to book with Lauren again and looking forward to our dog’s next staycation!

Literally the sweetest person to have taken care of your fur babies. She is compassionate and caring. During my trip, she sent me multiple pictures of my little stinky babies. If you need someone you can trust and know will provide unconditional love. Already planning rebooking! 💓

Our dog likes absolutely no one, but she warmed up to Diane during the course of our trip, and they became pals! Diane is is patient and caring with nervous pups, and really helped make sure Pickles trusted her. She and her kitty brother Ozzie seemed to really enjoy their time with her, and I love that we finally have a reliable sitter to care for them when needed. Frequent updates helped us not miss our babies so much (even though we still did!). Will use her again with no hesitate!

Emily was great with my 2 dogs while I was away for business travel. She stayed at my house to provide care and was very good about communicating updates in the form of photos, videos, and texting! I can tell she feels comfortable and confident working with dogs of various sizes and personalities! Emily seemed to truly care about and enjoy spending time with my fur babies. They got lots of walks, playtime and cuddles! Emily was respectful of my home and followed all care instructions that I provided. She did have several personal obligations where she needed to leave for a short bit, but let me know when she needed to be gone. I felt good about knowing that Emily was there while I could not be home. I would recommend her services to other pet parents!

Will took excellent care of my cat and home. He is a great communicator and I could tell he spent extra time playing with my cat as he was super chill. Will’s consideration for the details of my pet and home was noteworthy. His updates were exactly what I needed to relax away from home and my routine driven kitty 🐈⬛

Omg Emily was so great!!! Her communication was literally 10/10 and she sent me so many pictures and videos and updates of my dogs while she house+dog sat for me for 3 days. She even left my house cleaner than how she found it! As someone who is brand new to the area, I was so nervous to leave my dogs and house to someone new but Emily is literally exactly who you want. She asked so many good and thorough questions before and during her stay. I just can't say enough good things about her. I'll 100% be requesting her to take care of my babies again bc I already know I'll have total peace of mind having her take care of them :)

Keryandra was an amazing house and pet sitter. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We have a high energy/neurotic pomsky and I felt like she understood her and did her best to meet her high demands When there were fires and Canada making air quality bad she took the dogs to Petsmart and Lowe’s for safe exercise! When our dog was sick she cared for her and cleaned everything up. Definitely recommend!
