Dog Sitters in Elora

Joanna and Patrick were super sitters for our three felines with rather complicated food and meds regimens. They were amenable to coming in a day early for thorough orientation (house systems and operations as well as feline introductions and care instructions), but they had left before we got home. No problem, as we had a virtual post-sit debrief. Joanna and Patrick reported that the cats, even the paranoid old feline lady, had adjusted quickly and acted normally while we were gone. Certainly, when we walked in, the girls and boy were relaxed and calm, acting as though we had only been gone for a few hours. Just as delightful was to come home to a neat house and a freshly made bed for us to hop into after a day of travel. Lovely! I would definitely contact Joanna and Patrick again in the future, but I suspect they will be in high demand.

Ted was wonderful. He was very easy to deal with and kept us up to date all through the time we were away. The trip threw us a couple of curves and Ted was gracious and accommodating with some unexpected adjustments. Shilo was looked after very well. We think he misses Ted! On top of this, we came back to our house with it looking immaculate. We highly recommend Ted and hope he will be able to look after Shilo again some time in the future. Our minds were at ease and we were able to have a wonderful time away without worrying about Shilo, just missing him.

We had Lynda and Tom looking after our cat Lentil for 3 weeks. Lentil settled right in with them and was very happy with their love and attention - which was great because he can be a bit shy. Lynda was great with communication and I knew our home and Lentil were in excellent hands. We can back to an immaculate flat and some treats in the kitchen that were much appreciated after our late arrival home. I will be contacting Lynda and Tom again when we next go away and recommend them highly.

Louisa was an excellent pet sitter. She seemed to have a great rapport with my cat Maggie, who required insulin injections. Louisa sent regular updates so I was reassured that she was in good hands. She also left the house as tidy as I had left it.

One word - Amazing. Rose is the best. She was great with my two boxers, sent me frequent updates and left my house immaculater. Thank you Rose. The dogs loved you - come back soon

Jeff was a fantastic guest and pet sitter. He is communicative, flexible, friendly and very responsive. It was a pleasure having him stay and we would love to have him back anytime.

We would recommend Gabrielle wholeheartedly. She is very self sufficient, kept our flat immaculate, and took good care of our older dog (no trouble following our instructions on medications). When we got back he was relaxed and not showing any of the signs of soreness he tends to show when he’s been stressed. We can only assume he had a very nice week! Gabrielle also took time out of her trip to Edinburgh to meet Marco in advance of her stay. She’s a lovely person.

Nathan was a fantastic sitter from start to end. He communicated well before the sit and came over to meet the animals and us in person. The animals were happy with Mal even showing her bellly which she only does when really comfortable. I would have Nathan back anytime.

Ann and Dave were wonderful. They connected with Bella the second they arrived. They took great care of her and the horses and went above and beyond, even putting music on for the boys (horses). This was their first time looking after horses, which I was fully aware of when I invited them to sit, but they certainly didn't falter at the first hurdle. We feel we have made good friends with them and have talked about more visits. Wonderful couple who I would 💯 recommend to anyone. Thank you once again, Ann and Dave, you lovely people 😘

There is not enough STARS to rate Heather & Chad. Not enough words to describe how fantastic they are. We were a team, we felt 100 % comfortable that we had not one worry or even felt we had to contact, we could enjoy our holiday. Of course pics back and forth when we felt like it. They left the place immaculate. We would highly recommend Heather and Chad anytime. We've become friends and will continue to keep in touch. Thank you both for making Schooner so happy and us of course knowing "peace of mind'. See you again. Hugs, Brian & Stan

Highly recommend having Larry and Laurie sit for your animals. Their communication prior to sitting was excellent and after I met them on the morning of my departure I felt very confident in their abilities to take care of my home and my 2 dogs and cat. Laurie was even kind enough to make a ‘scrapbook’ with photos of my pets that were taken when I was away. I returned to a clean and tidy house and happy pets.😃

Setting up the sit was easy with Nora. She was responsive and efficient and I feel like we wrapped up the details very quickly. She also accommodated my very early arrival time and an extremely late return time. But more importantly, she did an amazing job caring for my pets. I could tell my dog, Nellie, got all the love and attention she craves. The house was perfectly clean and my pets were so happy. I hope Nora applies for a sit at my house again. She is a treasure.
