What a pleasure to Housesit for Randel & Eliot. They were both gracious, generous hosts. Always communicative. The house is beautiful, clean & cozy. I quickly fell in love with Calgary & of course Leo & Henry, the stars. They are sweet, well-behaved & cuddly. They have a well established routine that is easy to follow. I enjoyed walking them & the movie nights we spent with the boys draped over me on the couch like a blanket. Highly recommend this sit.
Alix is very communicative and organized, and her home is welcoming and comfortable. Gigi is an absolutely sweetheart and an easy-going girl. She loves her treats and head scratches, is great on walks, and enjoys lounging around. It was a pleasure spending time with Gigi!
I absolutely loved staying at Nigel and Sheila’s beautiful home looking after gorgeous Luna. She was such a dream and the perfect coffee shop companion. Nigel and Sheila themselves were so lovely and easy to communicate with throughout my stay.
Thetis and Niovi are lovely people. I met them before the sit and they showed me everything that I needed to know and gave me great recommendations for the area. Their place is cozy, not too difficult to get to from Piccadilly line (Arnos Grove). Fur babies, Astarte and Rebel are laid back cats, they can be playful as well. Thanks for the warm welcome!
Johanna was very communicative and helpful. Schmoopy was reserved but happily laid around and loved the outdoor cattico set up. Chandler was a sweetheart and very playful.
This was my first stay and it was fun! The dogs love walks and are very love-able!

Steph is not a Dog Walker -She is a dog coparent. The amount of information, photographs, videos, reports, maps… that I get for each and every walk is absolutely amazing. It’s actually the highlight of my day to see the happiness and joy on my dog’s face and experience it in her energy when I get home. I’ve never had such an incredible dog-partner in my life and now will settle for nothing less.
Stephanie is literally a dream. I can’t believe our lucky stars in finding her recently. We have two cats, one of whom needs sub-Q fluids and medications daily. We’ve been traveling with our cats out of fear of not having anyone to care for them but it’s been tiring for them. Stephanie was recommended to us by a neighbor, and I have never felt so lucky. She is communicative, kind, caring, capable, and personable. She really goes the extra mile. I can tell she genuinely cares about our babies and sends us the most adorable portraits and videos of them. She is skilled and confident at administering sub-Q fluids and giving medications. Finding Stephanie has eased every concern about leaving my senior cats when we go away on trips. Don’t walk, run, to book Stephanie. She’s truly amazing.
Stephanie has been taking care of my old cat while we are away. Old girl needs subcutaneous fluid and not a lot of sitters can do that. Stephanie sends me detailed updates and spoils Stella with pets on every visit. So glad my neighbor recommended her to me!
Steph is an amazing wonderful dog walker. Our dog loves Steph and is so excited every time Steph comes to walk him. Steph is responsible and trustworthy and always sends photos, videos as well as information about the walk.
Steph is so great with my Ollie boy , she not only Ollie’s walker she his best friend. She makes it easy to schedule and always so profesional I will recommend her to anyone and everyone !!
Steph is the best! My dogs absolutely love herrrrr! She’s extremely reliable and so friendly always gives a walk recap after every walk and takes the best photos of the puppies! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker for their pups!
Steph is an amazing pet care specialist! I'm so glad I found her. She dropped in to take care of my two cats while I traveled recently, and even the most shy one- who never comes out for anyone- came out and played and allowed pets from her :) Steph is trustworthy, super detailed and organized and I can't wait to use her services again. Highly recommend!
Steph is hands down THE best dog walker/pet carer in the world. We would be absolutely lost without her. She’s been walking and dog sitting for our lil pug for over 2 years now and he loves her so much. Steph is reliable, consistent and truly cares so much about the animals she looks after. She’s an absolute star and we recommend her 1000%!!
We have been working with Steph for years! She is simply fantastic. We leave knowing our baby puppy is in the best of hands. Steph is very responsive and makes sure our pup is throughly tired from walks and playtime. She gives our pup cuddles and is confident with medication managements and feeding schedules. I am a helicopter dog-mom so when I say this I truly mean it, Steph is the best!
Steph is the absolute best!! She is aware and attentive to my stubborn (but cute) dog’s needs and tendencies. She’s reliable and dedicated to her work, and a great person all around! Can’t recommend her enough!!
