"Whom does a professional pet sitter trust to look after her cat but another professional pet sitter like Carla? Carla and I have been pet sitting colleagues for the past several years with filling in for each other and passing along booking requests that the other can't take on. My own clients have expressed to me that they've been pleased with Carla's services when she's filled in for me, and I knew that Carla would provide that same excellent standard of care to my cat, Tom, while I was away. Carla got Tom, a normally shy kitty around new people, to come out and play laser pointer with her several times. He did really well with Carla, and I will always check with Carla first to see if she's available when I need pet sitting care for Tom."

"I’ve never used a cat sitter before, but I certainly will have Kristen back in the future. She not only took excellent care of Puffin, she managed to engage my rather wary cat. Communication was terrific, and I never worried about a thing. Kristen is a wonderful, trustworthy cat lover who shares her love with each cat in the specific manner they need.
Highly recommend! "

"Dawn, without question, has become our legendary go-to superhero pet sitter.
We would recommend her, without hesitation, for any booking she agrees to handle for you.
My wife Janis and I are retirees with 2 very different cats. Luke is somewhat shy but makes friends quickly and has a reasonably easy disposition. At the opposite end of the behavioral spectrum, we have Kende, who is extremely shy and skittish, requires once daily medication, a special diet, daily monitoring of litter box activities, and takes a very, very long time to establish a trust relationship with new people. He was a rescue cat, so his hesitant behavior is not a complete surprise to us.
Our first encounter with Dawn was to enlist her pet sitting services for a quick 3-day trip out of town to attend a funeral for an aunt. The final duration of the trip was quite uncertain due to the unpredictable extreme winter weather.
We were very grateful for Dawn's quick response and enthusiasm, despite us having provided her with very short notice for our request. At our meet and greet we met with her and almost knew instantly that we were very lucky to have made such a perfect choice. (She did not get to see both cats on this introductory visit, as they had both run to hide when a new voice was heard in the house).
A day or so later, Dawn began her visits and stayed in touch with us each day with an update, videos, and a few notes. It was immediately obvious that Kende was going to be a challenge, as expected, but Dawn demonstrated she was indeed up to the task. Luke was warming up very quickly, and Dawn was still careful to give both cats appropriate attention and understanding. Feedings, administering of meds, and litter monitoring went smoothly despite Kende's brief appearances.
On the 2nd or 3rd day of the trip, we requested an extension of 3 additional days to visit family further away yet, and Dawn accommodated us without hesitation. (Notwithstanding, we were again lucky that her calendar schedule could accommodate us). Unlike many would-be pet sitters, Dawn has demonstrated to us that she is very well organized and leverages today's technologies such as cell phone messaging and videos, internet emails and Interac bank transfers, and does so in a professionally organized manner. (Without such handling skills, the tools provided by Pawshake and other similar services would be ineffective).
Our trip proceeded without further incident and the weather co-operated with our extend travel plans. Through Dawn's persistent, careful, and dedicated loving attention, Kende now has a new and trusted caregiver. Lukey Luke was also very happy with the care Dawn provided for him throughout our absence, although is now probably a bit jealous that he needs to share Dawn's visiting times with Kende too.
Such things are probably not often thought about or shared publicly, among those of us that care so deeply for our pets, but it should be recognized that we all deserve some time away from our pets for our own family priorities and peace of mind.
The only way that this can be done without unnecessary guilt or stress while away is to leave your pets in the care of someone you can deeply trust, and who shares your own values and love for animals. Dawn is that person for us. We are sure that you will find that you can trust and depend on her in the way that we do.

""We can’t thank Laura enough for taking such great care of us while our humans were away! From the moment she walked in, we felt comfortable and loved. She made sure we got our favorote treats, our food bowls were full, and playtime was the highlight of our day. The cuddles and attention we got made us feel like the king and princess we are!
Our humans very much appreciated the regular updates and photos, so they could see how happy and well cared for we were. We can’t wait for Laura to visit us again. Highly recommend her amazing care to all our fellow furry friends!"

PS. Laura, sorry I hid, but my mom and I are very happy you found me under the bed ☺️

"Zoé is full of energy and love for our puppy and older dog. She also has tonnes of experience from working at a doggy daycare so seems to be able to anticipate and address all sorts of adjustment issues that she has seen develop in older dogs when not addressed earlier, then need work to overcome. She is helping our two dog household manage siblings who will hopefully get along well for years to come, nipping little habits early. We are grateful for Zoé's dedication, flexibility and helpfulness. "

"Irene is a wonderful cat sitter. She took care of our Leo 3 times last summer, for two visits a day each day (for 10, 14, and 3 days, respectively).
Leo is 13 years old cat, very sweet, but also timid and caution with newcomers. Irene was very PATIENT and allowed him to take his time to warm up to her, and conquered his trust. He is now so comfortable with her it looks like they've known each other for years.
Irene is DEPENDABLE, well ORGANIZED, RESPONSIVE in COMMUNICATION, CARING; she kept us informed, and sent us pictures every day. In addition to to the everyday pet sitting duties, she spent time PLAYING with our cat, and was COMFORTABLE administered him tonic and occasionally laxative, as he was coming out of a bout with gastrointestinal issues.
We were very happy to find Irene, particularly because none of the neighbour kids that usually did cat sitting for us were available, and one even had to cancel with just a few day's notice. Considering we were still under some COVID restrictions, this was a relief. We trust Irene, and will always call her back to look after Leo."

"Anna was absolutely amazing! She visited our cat every day while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. She went above and beyond to ensure our cat was happy, well-fed, and loved. Anna provided regular updates, including photos and little notes about how our cat was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind.
It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. Our cat seemed calm and content when we returned, which is a testament to the care Anna provided. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Anna!"

"Briana took amazing care of my bunnies! She was so gentle and sweet with them, and I know they appreciated her care because I came home to two happy bunnies instead of grumpy ones (I don't even think they cared that I left lol)! Everything about this booking was easy and seamless and flexible, from communication to key drop off to actual pet care, and it helped reduce my anxiety about leaving my bunnies for the weekend. Thank you so much! 🐰🐰 "

"Alexandria is a great pet sitter! I knew Rupert was in good hands based on how he reacted to her at the meet and greet as he liked her instantly. I appreciated she took in the mail, watered the plants and would make sure the sidewalk was cleared of snow while taking care of Rupert. While I was away, she was excellent with daily communication and pictures for the 28 days I was away. When I came home, it was clear Rupert was well taken care of, mail was on the counter and plants were watered. I would highly recommend Alexandria and would gladly have her look after Rupert again. "
