House Sitting ~ Oct 2025
“I can't imagine a better caretaker than Carrie-Ann for my dogs. She took care of all three of my dogs while I was away, including a medically fragile, blind, partly deaf 18 year old jack russell terrier that requires meals/meds 6 times a day. Not only did she follow all instructions and keep the house in pristine condition, but she also made sure to ask any questions or clarify anything she was uncertain about to make sure the dogs were well cared for. I felt like someone who loved the dogs as much as I did was caring for them. Thank you so much, Carrie-Ann. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs pet care."

Doggy Daycare ~ Oct 2018
"Carrie-Ann is a smart, intuitive, and caring person who truly loves animals. She took care of my nervous shy boy Milo for daycare, she was patient with him and let him take his time getting used to her. She was flexible and able to accommodate my long and sometimes variable hours. You can tell Carrie-Ann really loves animals and treats each pet like her own, which is really what i wanted when looking for someone to care for my boy. She also sent me lots of photos and updates which i loved since i was nervous leaving my boy. She made me and Milo very comfortable. I would highly recommend her business and services for anyone looking for pet care."

Doggy Daycare ~ May 2018
“Carrie-Ann has definitely found what she is meant to be doing. Her love of animals is so evident, and she got my shy little boy cuddling beside her in no time. I was surprised and really happy to know he was comfortable so quickly. On top of that, she’s amazing with communication before and during. I got lots of photo and text updates throughout the day. She is very professional, asks great questions about the dogs and thinks carefully about what activities will be a good fit for age and energy level. I will definitely be calling her again to look after my dogs!”

House Sitting ~ May 2025
“Carrie-Ann did an outstanding job dog sitting for our pup! She went above and beyond to take him on long walks, lots of play, and enrichment to keep him happy! Everyday she provided photos and any important updates about his health and habits. We could see our doggy was having an absolute blast and was very comfortable with her. It was very nice to have a pet sitter who is very passionate about animals and I will definitely request pet sitting from Carrie-Ann again in the future!"
Thomas, P
Drop-in's ~ Dec 2025
"Carrie-Ann was truly thoughtful and meticulous, from our initial meeting to the final day caring for our cats. We will absolutely have her as our sitter in the future, as she cared for our pets with the level of care and detail and I would have expected out of myself. As someone who prefers to know everything about how our cats were doing, even the little things, Carrie-Ann made sure that we had constant updates about their environment and well being."

Drop-In's ~ Nov 2019
“Carrie-Ann has been walking Luna (our German Shepherd/Lab cross) since we adopted her at the age of 4 months old. From the very beginning, she was so patient when Luna acted the way a rambunctious puppy does in a new home, and was a huge source of reassurance to me as a new dog mom! I trust her completely with our girl, and Luna really enjoys the time she gets to spend with Carrie-Ann. My husband and I have erratic work hours, and Carrie-Ann has gone above and beyond to accommodate our request for daily walks and extra evening hang-outs with Luna, even when we moved to a new house several blocks away from her usual stomping grounds. She is extremely professional, always responds to messages immediately, keeps us updated on how Luna is doing with text messages (and accompanying photos!), and checks in outside of work hours when Luna is under the weather. Carrie-Ann is an absolute pleasure to work with and we cannot recommend her highly enough!"

Drop-In's ~ Nov 2025
“We are so grateful for Carrie-Ann and the exceptional care she has provided for our dog and two cats every time we've been away. She is incredibly easy to communicate with, always providing prompt updates that give us total peace of mind. Her consideration and professionalism are truly appreciated. She is meticulous with our instructions and treats our home with respect. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of our pets, who are always happy and content when we return. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their furry family members”

Drop-In's ~ Feb 2020
“Carrie-Ann's reviews on this site are better than you could believe to be true. THEY'RE TRUE. She took care of our two poofy cats and one jubilant bunny for 8 days, and we were constantly sent pictures and daily updates about how they were doing. Detailed updates, so we could see that they were feeling great with her very attentive and affectionate care, and not really missing us that much at all! Rabbits are especially fragile pets, and having Carrie-Ann (who has her own rabbits) watching over my Schmoo made me relax and really enjoy our time away. She kept to an agreed schedule (so the fuzzies knew when to expect her) and our place was in fine order when we returned, too. We would not hesitate to book her again, or to recommend her to anyone (especially if you're nervous about leaving your babies with someone else). Carrie-Ann is the best!”

Doggy Daycare ~ Sept 2018
"All I have to say is WOW! When it comes to my dogs, I want the best for them and I’m very picky with who watches them. When I did my “meet and greet” with Carrie-Ann, I knew right away she was going to be the one watching my doggies. When my dogs stayed with Carrie-Ann, she sent me pictures and videos every day that I was away. Every day that I would wake up there were pictures and throughout the day as well. And I cannot forget how knowledgeable she is about dogs!! She explained to me why they react a certain way, what I should do, and how to maintain it. I just cannot thank her enough because I am one of those way too over protective doggy moms, so she deff made my trip stress free! Thank you so much Carrie-Ann, and Princess and Preston will deff be coming back!!!"

Boarding ~ Dec 2017
“Carrie-Ann was a phenomenal pet sitter! I was so worried that I would not be able to find a sitter with the upcoming holidays but Carrie-Ann really came through! She is wonderful to communicate with and responds promptly. We easily scheduled a meet and greet and a time to drop off my dog. She was so flexible and easy going, which really put me at ease. During Libby's stay she sent me photos every day. I could tell how much she enjoyed having my dog around. I could tell that she cared for my dog just as I would. Carrie-Ann gave Libby all the love and attention I could have ever wanted. I will 100% book with her again. I have never been so impressed by a pet sitter before. I will surely recommend her to anyone."

Drop-in's ~ Sept 2025
“We could not have asked for a better person to look after our 2 babies. English bulldogs are notoriously difficult and stubborn, but Carrie-Ann's attention to detail and patience made all the difference. The bulldogs were well cared for and loved beyond any expectation. Thank you Carrie-Ann for giving us peace of mind while away from home, knowing you were there looking after them made all the difference. We will definitely book Carrie-Ann again!"
Brielle, H
Drop-In's Dec 2025
"We had great communication and updates during our time away. It is difficult to find a sitter experienced with rabbits and Carrie-Ann knew exactly what to watch for. I also have an anxious cat that needs medication and she warmed up to Carrie-Ann and took her meds with no issues on the first visit. I’m so grateful Carrie-Ann could make accommodations for us during the busy holiday season. We will be using her services again in the future!"
Nancy, S
Drop-In's ~ June 2025
"I felt so relaxed and reassured that my Savvy-Cat would be well taken care of while I was away. First time they met, I could see the bond between them, Carrie-Ann’s love for animals was apparent, and she asked and cared about Savvy’s fave things to do, her kind nature and gentle ways with my Savvy showed how much she really enjoyed being with her. As pet owners, we all know how hard it is to leave our furbabies, but the messages and lots of pics she sent to me each time she visited, assured me that my girl was in good hands and loved. I have booked Carrie-Ann already for future get-aways. Definitely would recommend her!"
Emily, W
House Sitting ~ Sept 2024
“Carrie-Ann pet sat my bunny and goldfish (and home) for the night. I was nervous about leaving my bunny and had never utilised an in-house sitter before, but I could not have been happier with the service provided. Carrie-Ann offered a meet and greet with me and my bunny ahead of the booking. Once booked she then provided many updates, pics and cute videos of my fur baby, who seemed very relaxed and at ease with her. Carrie-Ann even pointed out some potential issues he might have, which was awesome to know that he had been so closely monitored whilst I was away. My house was also left absolutely spotless I will be booking again!”
Jess, H
Drop-In's ~ July 2025
“Carrie-Ann is the sweetest soul and I had absolutely zero reservations about them looking after our two kitties, Loki and Lily. I could immediately tell that they have such a heart for animals by the attention to detail included in all the messages leading up to the drop-ins. When we were away I had such peace of mind that Loki and Lily would be in the best hands possible. And receiving dozens of photos of the kitties was the cherry on top. We came home to happy and healthy babies. I’d absolutely recommend them to watch and care for your fur baby!"
Heather, H
Drop-In's ~ July 2019
"Carrie-Ann is the BEST pet sitter I've ever had! She sends lots of photos and videos while I'm away to keep me updated and put's the consideration of my pet above all else! I recently made a mistake date-wise for my away times and she made a special trip on an off night just to see my little guy who was alone. I'm so thankful for Carrie-Ann and would recommend her to anyone!"
Mylene, D
Doggy Daycare ~ Nov 2019
“Carrie was very timely with her responses and setting up our meet-and-greet was a breeze as she was extremely accommodating. It was evident that she was attentive to our preferences and training with Cali (our 4-month-old Golden pup who is going through rigorous training at this time), and we loved that she had asked us many different questions about her care. Carrie ensured to send plenty of photos (which we LOVED) to provide us with updates, and it was so reassuring to see that she was taking such good care of Cali. We had no concerns or issues with Carrie and will not hesitate to book with her again. Thanks again Carrie!"
Sadu, S
Drop-In's ~ Dec 2025
“I had the pleasure of having Carrie-Ann care for my cat, Cooper, over the Christmas holidays, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, polite, and reliable. She arrived on time for every visit, kept me updated with clear communication, and made sure Cooper was well looked after. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in her care. Carrie-Ann’s attention to detail and genuine kindness really stood out, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter."
Dennis, P
House Sitting ~ May 2025
"Carrie-Ann was simply amazing with her stay with my boy Gyver! From the initial inquiry, right through the entire booking, her communication was top notch and she sent a ton of pictures and updates. She treated him like he was her own, and took care of him so well he was disappointed to see me come home and not her. I would not hesitate to book with Carrie-Ann again or recommend her to anyone else. Just a perfect stay!"
Ina, M
Drop-In's ~ Sept 2018
"Carrie-Ann was recommended to me by a friend to cat sit my 3 cats during my month long summer holiday. She was professional, responsible, friendly, understood my cats needs, responsive to my own needs (providing picture and text updates with every visit) and, truly, I was able to have a worry free vacation because of her. She was available when needed and quick to reply. She also is a true animal lover and my cats absolutely loved her and not only is she running a business, but clearly enjoys spending time with animals - this was very important to me (and my cats!) because for all of us cat lovers out there, we know our little fur lovers know who like them or not. I will be using her service in the future and would definitely recommend her services to anyone who wants to go away and can rest assured that their pets are in good hands."
Aleem, U
Drop-In's ~ April 2024
"I entrusted Carrie-Ann with pet sitting my cats and fish at my apartment. She did an exceptional job and went above and beyond in taking care of my pets. She provided regular updates, pictures and videos of my pets. She even cleaned up my cats bowls and eating + litter space. Carrie-Ann also pointed out a possible medical issue with my cat. I highly recommend Carrie-Ann for her pet sitting services and I will definitely be contacting her again for her services in the future."
Mac, D
Boarding ~ Dec 2018
“Carrie-Ann looked after our three month old cockapoo, Fred, for two nights and I can’t say enough about how wonderful her services are. We were reluctant to leave him with anyone but Carrie-Ann was so warm and sweet that fred took to her immediately. While we were gone we got regular updates and photos about how Fred was doing. Carrie-Ann was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times and even went to the trouble of puppy proofing her own home so we knew Fred would be safe! Fred can’t wait for his next stay with Carrie-Ann!”
John, S
Dog Boarding ~ April 2018
"I can not say enough good things about Carrie-ann. She cared for my girl even better than I could have imagined. She sent me tons of pictures of my dog and each one she genuinely looks happy and full of smiles. We will definitely be referring Carrie-ann and using these services again on our next vacation. If you are nervous about leaving you fur baby don't be he loves them as her own for the time she has them. I think my dog actually misses her"

"Our 3 kitties were spoiled with love while we were away for a long trip. Carrie-Ann is extremely professional and caring. She was always sending updates and beautiful photos of our kitties. Even my really shy guy warmed up to her in no time! I would recommend Carrie-Ann to all pet owners looking for a loving, caring and attentive sitter. She is truly exceptional!"
Béatrice, C
Boarding ~ Nov 2017
"Carrie-Ann is great with my young puppy! My dog Gigi was super excited to see her for a second time. Both times I have used her services, Gigi was all tuckered out from playing when I picked her up! She was very trustworthy and forthcoming about issues that arose with my dog and I could tell she values my dog’s safety above all else. She sent multiple pictures during the day too which is a big plus!"

Boarding ~ July 2017
“We have used Carrie-Ann numerous times to watch our dog. Each time we go away I have absolutely zero worries and know that Carrie-Ann is treating my girl with all the love she can. I love that she sends me updates via text while we are away with pictures of my girl. We have used kennels in the past and when we return our dog has been a shell of herself - this is never the case when she has been with Carrie-Ann. I am so grateful to have found her.”

Drop-In's ~ Oct 2018
“Carrie - Ann is awesome. She’s looked after our two rescues on several occasions with no issues. She was prompt, and followed up after and during every session. Most importantly, she handled our dogs needs and respected their space and privacy. Highly recommend”

Dog Walking ~ Jan 2026
"Our experience with Carrie-Ann has been absolutely wonderful! She is an extremely responsible and competent dog walker and we have felt so comfortable entrusting her with the care of our beloved dog, Dahlia. Her communication has been excellent and thorough and you can tell she takes her work very seriously, giving the animals in her care the utmost attention and thoughtfulness. So many small details that just demonstrate what a conscientious and kind person she is! Dahlia is our whole world, so it means everything to us to know that while in Carrie-Ann's care she is safe and cared for completely :). Receiving her detailed Rover cards with great photos has become a highlight of our days when we have a walk booked. We are so appreciative to have this help with making sure our pup gets some much-needed enrichment while we are busy working and are very grateful for all the fun and exercise she is now getting during the week, thanks to Carrie-Ann! 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help care for their pets :)"

Drop-in's ~ Feb 2026
Carrie-Ann is simply wonderful. She took care of my five little cats for eight days and achieved truly amazing things. She even connected with one of our shyest babies, and I was honestly amazed. She kept us updated on how our little ones were doing and sent us beautiful photos that looked like they were taken by a professional. She gave them so much love, and I could see my babies happy and living their best little lives. I even feel like they forgot they were supposed to miss us. To be honest, I am a tiny bit jealous of how much they grew to love Carrie-Ann, but I am also incredibly happy knowing they felt safe and cared for. She is now officially part of our little cat family, and we will absolutely call her again the next time we need help. She won our hearts too.
