About: I’ve cared for many family pets in the past, mostly smaller dogs. Because of my love for dogs, I enjoy doing research about different or watching videos, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and care. I’m also very active and would love another reason to get out and run! Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m currently a college student! I’m available pretty much any time of any day, especially in the early afternoon. First, I respect the routine the pet already has and would like to know all details about their current routine. I also find it important to know any injuries, medications, allergies, etc. to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible.
“Veronica took such great care of our Charlie, he was well fed, watered and groomed. She also made sure our plants thrived and mail was taken care of, too. Couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, Boss and Mia, and they both are rescue dogs. Having 2 huskies take so much patience and physical strength. But because I am very consistent with training and routine at home, I am proud to say that Boss and Mia are very well behaved dogs for a husky breed. They are sociable to other dogs, specially small dogs. I am currently working from home part-time only, so I have a lot of time to play with your pup. My schedule is flexible and I can be available on the schedule that you want me to watch your pup. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly huskies that can keep your baby company. I have a decent size deck where my 2 huskies play.

Taylor M.
“Taylor is AMAZING with dogs, and I fully trust her with my little guy Ollie. He’s a small fluffy maltese with a big personality, super cuddly but also a little shy with new people. Taylor is so patient and gentle with him, and it didn’t take long at all for him to warm up to her. Now he gets SO excited every time he sees her (zoomies and all 😂). She’s the kind of person who really gets animals like, she notices the small things, respects their routines, and always makes sure they feel safe and loved. She takes him on nice walks, gives him his favorite treats, and sends me the cutest photo updates while I’m away at work and I love knowing my little man is having a blast.”

Caroline D.
“Yes I have a puppy toy poodle. Me and my family went for a family camping for a week and we didn’t know that because we rented a cottage it is not allowed to bring a pet. We were so worried where to leave our dear puppy and where we can find someone to watch him while we were away. Glad to have met Caroline Clark and her family. They are heaven sent to us. Caroline family loves dog and they care our Teddy as their own, always updates us what’s happening and sending us pictures. Teddy was feeling at home with them. I will definitely recommend her service if you need someone to watch your dog.”

“Caroline is my friend and neighbour when he was living in kenya. Her passion for pets is what set us apart, when she got married, she chose pet(dog) as her first priority while I chose to have a child. Her obsession with pets and treating them with compassion makes her a good candidate to take care of dogs. To her they are not animals but souls in four legs. There will be no better person to do this Job as her.”

Mateo P.
“I can start off by saying Mateo is a dog lover. The way he treats Casper (his dog) amazes me. He subscribed to barkbox to have his dog receive a box full of treats and toys every month. When ever we hangout and he sees a dog, he goes crazy to pet them. I can definitely put my word and recommend him as a dog sitter, i'm sure he will do an amazing job, the dogs are going to be extremely happy when he takes care of them. Can't wait to hear back from Mateo, letting me know he became a dog sitter.”
