“Dong was super nice and was amazing with Lily, he brought her out on loads of walks and sent us plenty of pictures and videos throughout the evening. Would highly recommend!!”


2. elizabeth h.

“Amazing! Elizabeth came on time and kept my dog company as how I wanted. I will definitely book with her again and stay with her instead of finding again. Very caring to my dog as well!”


3. Samara A.

“We had a last minute cancellation 30 minutes before a sitter was to arrive. Samara responded to our request immediately and was quick to set us up to watch Poe. Poe was staying home for the day after an emergency care visit, and Samara was so kind and attentive. We informed her our concern with his loss of appetite and she took time to gently hand feed him during our suggested meal times. We were sent picture and video updates to ease our mind throughout the day. So thankful for her care and we hope to book her to watch Poe again in the future!”


4. Emily B.

“Emily was a GREAT sitter who stepped in at the last minute to sit with Samantha at my house for a business trip that I had. She is a true professional, communicative, prompt, and so easy going. Samantha was well taken care of, she sent me pics of feedings and fun and the house was clean and well maintained. I'll definitely be using her again!!!”

11. Dee B.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the care Dee provided to my cat, Ash, over the past four days! From the moment I met Dee, I could tell she was passionate about animals and really understood their needs. She kept me updated with adorable photos and sweet messages, letting me know how Ash was doing. It was clear that Dee went above and beyond to make sure Ash felt loved and comfortable while I was away. When I returned, Ash was calm, happy, and seemed to have enjoyed her time with Dee. I highly recommend Dee for anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter—she truly treated Ash like her own baby!”

“Kinga has been very caring, loving and trustworthy when looking after my two high-energy shepherds on multiple occasions! I can always rely on her to look after my dogs especially last-minute as her schedule is flexible.”


16. Brianna P.


“Brianna is always so wonderful with Ziggy. She listens to every detail and is really attentive. We had to leave our girl overnight while I had a procedure done. It’s such a relief knowing we’re in good hands with Brianna and don’t have to worry. Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!!”


17. Ekaterina D.

“Kate was great with our labradoodle puppy! Got tons of photos and video update, communication was easy, she arrived early and was well prepared. Would be delighted to book her again.”


18. Dr Tanishka B.

“We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! It was clear the cats were well loved in our absence (we were gone almost 3 weeks). Tanishka was super communicative, considerate, and overall a fantastic person to look after our cats. One of our cats is older and has accidents - Tanishka was super understanding and was always looking to make sure both cats were happy, warm and loved. She’ll be my first call as soon as I book my next trip.”

About: My hands-on experience raising Three Labrador dog children from puppies to adulthood : This gives me a deep understanding of different life stages, from playful pups to caring for senior dogs. I’m committed to providing personalized care, ensuring every walk or visit is fun, safe, and tailored to your dog's needs I offer personalized care and flexible walking times, including weekends, after 6:30 pm on weekdays, and early morning walks upon request. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! On walks, I ensure your dog gets the right balance of exercise and exploration, catering to their energy levels and needs. I always keep walks fun and interactive, whether it’s a brisk stroll, a gentle walk for senior dogs, or some playful time for the energetic pups. I also pay close attention to their safety, monitoring the surroundings and keeping them on a leash to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience.


20. Emily O.


“Emily was fantastic and super thoughtful house sitting with our 2 German shepherds while we were out of town. Great communication and updates kept us in the loop and feeling like the pups were in very good hands while we were out of town. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for dog care and will definitely book her in the future. Most importantly, the dogs loved her!”
