Rachel C.

“Angelo & Pina were very welcoming to us and our dog from the moment we knocked. They sent us lots of pics and updates which was very much appreciated. Will definitely reach out for future stays!”

“Jessica was amazing with our puppy Doug. I was quite nervous leaving him as he’s just a puppy and is quite a bit of work, but Jessica made me feel so comfortable. She gave updates, sent pictures and videos. Doug fell asleep as soon as we picked him up and put him in the car to take him home. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to anybody needing a pet sitter!!”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have adopted many rescues. Advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves is important to me! I continue to participate in fundraisers for the Humane Society, the Annex Cat Rescue and the Canada Cuba Pet Rescue. I have extensive experience in dog walking, drop-in visits, doggie daycare and boarding services. I have also waked dogs for the Humane Society. I was fortunate to have a pet sitter/ dog walker that I could trust and I am excited to be able to provide that for others now that I have time! I will care for your pet as I would my own and I fully understand how difficult it is to leave your loved one in someone else's care. I don't take this trust lightly! I will work very hard to ensure your pet is safe and happy. I am also committed to communicating frequently throughout your pet's stay with me so that you can have peace of mind while away. My schedule is flexible on weekdays, weekends and holidays. Now that I am retired I have plenty of time to spend with your loved one! My home is clean, safe, smoke free, and pet free. I am able to provide one-on-one attention. I have a good neighbourhood for walking and a fenced-in backyard.

“Shawna took great care of my dogs while I was out of town. She also sent a lot of updates and pictures of the dogs throughout the weekend. They seemed happy to stay and we'll be booking again soon with Shawna for our next trip!”

“Shelly was great with Cooper and Elise. They felt at home with her, as both were asleep less than an hour after I left. Her flexibility with our planned pickup was greatly appreciated as well! If up by the Big Mac (bridge) give her a call. Mark and Cindy”

“Scharol was an amazing dog sitter. She was constantly in contact with me and she shared many pictures of Titus. I am truly grateful for her because she treated Titus, like her own fur child. For anyone else looking to find someone to look after their cherished fur baby, please consider Scharol. I am honored to share my story.”

She was responsible and responsive, asked detailed questions, and checked in with us daily with a message and pictures. I highly recommend her for petsitting and we will be contacting her for future pet sitting needs.”

About: Hi, I'm a dedicated cat lover with a lifetime of experience caring for cats. I've grown up with these wonderful companions and currently have two cats of my own. Over the years, I've learned to understand and cater to their unique personalities and needs. From playful kittens to serene seniors, I have the skills to ensure your cat feels comfortable, loved, and well-cared for.

“Scharol is amazing! Dogs loved her, she brought the crew treats and took great care of the fur kids! So lucky to have found her!”

Jennifer N.

“Megan was great! She worked with me to make sure my cats were well cared for while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for all you did!”

Megan B.

“We found Kelly last minute on Rover, and what a gift that turned out to be. From the moment we met her and her husband, we felt Brakus was in the best hands. Their home is warm and welcoming, and their care for dogs is truly exceptional. They took Brakus on long walks, loved on him like he was their own, and kept in touch throughout the day with thoughtful updates and photos. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly adored—and honestly, our 9-year-old even said he wished he could have stayed with Kelly and her husband too! It’s rare to find people this kind, responsive, and genuinely passionate about dogs. We feel so lucky to have found them, and Brakus will absolutely be visiting again. Thank you both for treating him like family! I can’t tell you how good and safe we felt about leaving him with you today. 5 stars isn’t near enough! Thank you”

Laura L.

“I have two older dogs that need a little extra patience and care. My dogs obviously felt comfortable with Angelo and Pina. The second visit they walked right in to the house wagging their tails. It was great to get pictures and updates throughout the visit. I would highly recommend them.”

Jen T.

“Shawna understands dogs and how dog parents worry. Shawna (and her 3 boys) have a heart for all dogs. I dropped my Jasper off for the day, while we took the train ride. She sent pics and reassuring messages, even letting me know that I would lose phone service during ny excursion--but, not to worry "he is fine, enjoy your day” She is experienced and truly cares. If in the area, she is a great option for your dog!”

Linda F.

“Scharol was very willing to work with our schedule. My 2 fur babies seemed well taken care of when we picked them up. We are were from out of town and needed someone to watch our dogs while going to Mackinac island. All went well.”

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and various other animals in my family so I have lots of experience in caring for them. A family friend has told me I'm like a dog whisperer because most dogs are comfortable with me. I'm most comfortable with no more than 4 dogs at a time, whether they're small like a Dachshund or a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, medium-sized like a Brittany Spaniel or a Labrador, or large like a Newfoundland or Great Dane. I also am able to train dogs in simple commands such as stay, sit, lay down, and shake. And I'm willing to help potty train puppies and bathe dogs if needed. I do have experience with elderly dogs or sick dogs with many health conditions and medications. Either myself or my spouse is nearly always at home. I work a flexible job where I can stop at home during the day if needed. I currently have my own dog and cat. I am working on getting a fence but currently just a tie-out lead and a large dog house is what I have with lots of land to run.

About: Hell my name is Scharol. I love animals all kinds. First they need good steady meals then the fun begins! They're like children health safety then fun and love. I think of pets as toddlers.

At times just because;) they crave love and affection. I allow them on my furniture and my bed. I just wash my bedding more often than most. They get scared have legit feelings and I address all of those needs. I first very responsible and very caring. I'll love them as if they were my own. Thank you for your time Scharol- I'm available all the time Great! I'm free almost 100% of the time which makes me a perfect fit to care for your prescious pets I've been around animals my entire life Walk them play with them cuddle them. Comb or brush them.
