Pet Sitters in Waterloo

Mackenzie

Mackenzie was an excellent sitter. You could tell she really showered my dog with love and I came back to a spotless place. She was also very patient with me with hectic key exchange. I can highly recommend Mackenzie.

Jennifer

Thank you JJ for taking such good care of our pets and our home! JJ was self reliant - took amazing care of the animals and left the place sparkling clean! I would highly recommend JJ to anyone!

Ted & Barb

Ted & Barb once again were excellent sitters for us. They went over and above the call of duty and everything went very smoothly.

Anna

Anna is wonderful! My sweet pup was well loved and it made my time away easier knowing she was having fun with Anna. I got pictures and videos regularly and felt confident that all was well on the home front. And also took great care of our home and plants. She is a gem and I recommend her without reservation!

Louisa

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.

Darrell & Bonnie

Darrell, Bonnie and Matthew were wonderful. The pictures they sent made it clear the dogs were not missing at all (which is fantastic). They could house sit for us anytime!

Jonathan

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my home and pets, Selkie and Puff, to Jonathan while I was out of town. It's not always easy to hand over the keys to one's sanctuary, especially with pets that are more like family, but with Jonathan, I had no concerns. Jonathan has a natural ability to connect with animals, and both of mine miss him terribly! Throughout my time away, Jonathan was proactive in his communication, sending me occasional photos and updates, ensuring I was well-informed without overwhelming me. My house was returned to me in immaculate condition. It was evident that Jonathan respects the spaces he's entrusted with and goes above and beyond to maintain them. There's something to be said about returning to a home that feels just as you left it, if not better. If you're seeking a housesitter who is both attentive to your pets' needs and respectful of your home, Jonathan is an excellent choice! His care and professionalism stand out, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of such services!

Candy

Candy was INCREDIBLE. From the beginning, she made us feel very comfortable leaving our birds in her care. She came early to meet the birds and learn about our space. Then while we were away she sent photos, videos and voice messages about our birds. She also took great care of our space as well. We would love to have her sit for us anytime. I could not recommend her enough honestly.

Heather & Chad

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

Sarah

Sarah is unbelievable! She was super kind, communicative, and loving with my pets. When I came home my house was spotless. She’s a true treasure!

Mary & Jeff

We would have given more stars if we could. Mary and Jeff are incredible people. They provided daily texts to let us know about our dogs which really made us at ease. While we were gone caring for our grandchildren it was a relief to know our fur babies were receiving such love and attention. Mary and Jeff were flexible enough to allow us to enjoy a leisurely drive home a day later than originally agreed. We arrived home to 2 meals and lots of extra snacks. Thank you. Our home was left in impeccable condition. Everything is so clean! Mary was so attentive with my plants. We feel so blessed to have found such wonderful people to stay in our home. Thank you for the fantastic pictures of T & T which you left for us. Remember , if you’re ever in the area, our home is always open to you.

Deborah & John

Sometimes one has to count his and her lucky stars. On our recent trip to Boston to visit family we had the absolute pleasure and good fortune to have had the opportunity to meet Deb and John. From our first communications and introductions via the web and our last goodbye at the airport my wife and I, and of course our not so little Hoodoo, felt blessed to have been in their company. They gave the upmost best of care and displayed genuine affection towards our beloved Hoodoo. One knows when their furry companion has been well cared for by the greeting you receive upon your return. Hoodoo displayed as much love and affection towards Deb and John as he does us when we had the short opportunity to be together before their departure homeward bound. From the great updates and photos of their adventures with Hoodoo, to the delicious soup and impeccable straight lines in our mowed lawn, and the immaculate condition of our home and wonderful feedback from our friends at our local dog park, we feel blessed to have had Deb and John as the caregivers to our much loved Hoodoo. But most of all we made wonderful friends and look forward to visiting them both on our trip to Ontario. We all miss you already!!! In closing, one should consider themselves lucky if Deb and John decide to be caregivers of your loved pet during your absence. Sincerely Hoodoo, Heather, and Nicholas.

Charlotte

We had a lovely time near Newbury and enjoyed all that Newbury and the surrounding area has to offer. The house was lovely and it felt like a holiday with our own annex. The pool (although we did not use it as it was April) looked lovely and despite the weather we enjoyed some time in the garden.

We enjoyed taking Spencer for walks and he has good recall off the lead once in the open fields. He was also brilliant at night, we were not disturbed once. We would definitely recommend this house sit.
