“Tanya was amazing with our girl, took her for walks and gave her lots of love while we were away. We also got updates every day and felt totally comfortable leaving our dog there. Definitely recommend. Thanks again, Tanya!”
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay! She communicates well and kept us informed with all we needed to know and sent pictures of our pets during our stay. I recommend Alexis to care for your pets’ needs!”
“Lisa was great! She made our dog feel so relaxed and cared for. She took steps to make him feel at home and comfortable. Lisa sent picture regularly of Berkley playing and smiling. I’m pretty sure he wishes he lived there all the time because he spend the first 2 days back at home moping. That’s a sign of great care!!”
“Tawnya & Jeremy take good care of our dog whenever we are out of town. He gets to play with their kiddos and loves hanging out on their deck! We get regular updates from them and have never had an issue. Would highly recommend Tawnya and Jeremy!”
“Our experience with Jeffrey and Janine was absolutely wonderful. I was a bit anxious leaving him but they took such amazing care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They gave us frequent updates which were one of our favourite parts - thoughtful, quirky, and full of adorable little Chikoo moments that always made us smile and we looked forward to it. They were so sweet with him, giving him lots of love, attention, and pets. It was clear they truly cared about making him feel comfortable and at home. He also got to spend some time with their dogs, which was a lovely bonus as my dog is usually a bit reserved so loved to see him interacting. Knowing he was well cared for and comfortable, gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Pierre and Sheila were welcoming, friendly and made sure they got the information they needed to make our precious cat comfortable. They kept me informed of his activities and sent photos and videos that helped put my mind at ease. I can tell he was well taken care of and comfortable. Definitely recommend Pierre and Sheila… Thank you for taking care of Lotus 🌷”
“Thank you, JC, for being so professional and taking such good care of our Zion! Even at the last minute, you welcomed us with open arms — we truly appreciate!!! We’ll definitely see you again❤️❤️”
“Tet was absolutely amazing with our high-energy Poodle, Okja, during our 5-night trip to Mexico! She truly went above and beyond, keeping Okja entertained with her favorite toys and making sure she got plenty of long walks and fun trips to the park. We loved receiving daily updates with photos and videos, which completely put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. To make things even better, our return flight landed very late at night, and Tet was kind and accommodating enough to drop Okja off at our place right on time. We were so grateful for her flexibility! You could really tell Okja had the best time with her by the way they said goodbye. We are so thankful for Tet’s care, dedication, and thoughtfulness. Whenever we go on vacation next, she will absolutely be our number one choice!”
“Yulina was great with my little Daisy . She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. She sent me regular updates with photos and videos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Daisy absolutely loved her and was so happy and relaxed when I got back. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs — I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“We highly recommend them. They took care of our dog Maya really well and was updating us with photos and videos everyday. We will surely book them again next time.”
“Sonya did an amazing job taking care of Winnie. She's a dog whisperer and she really made Winnie feel relaxed and loved. Winnie loved her time there and quickly became apart of Sonya's pack. I highly recommend Sonya. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Mariana was great for sending videos and her kids played so well with the dogs. She did an excellent job and we will definitely use her again. Thank you for taking Bailey! She had so much fun!”
“Great love and care for our dogs Rosco and Skye. I felt 100% confident with leaving my dogs with her. Kourtney was more than willing to accommodate all our dogs needs during our time away. She was quick to respond to messages and it was so nice to get updates. I’ll be using Kourtney again - she was awesome.”

About: I have fostered a number of different cats, including semi-feral cats who went on to be loving household members. Fostering has included administering various oral and topical medications and adapting to each cat's unique personality and needs. We recently (finally!) foster-failed with our own cat, which has been such a joy.
“Andrea was great, it was so reassuring to have someone who understands the anxiety that comes with leaving pets at home. My kitties were in great hands and I came home to happy healthy kitties which is always a great feeling. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds ever since I was a child. I have always had a passion for animals and have never lived in a home without them. Friends, families, neighbours, and colleagues have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and brush their furry loved ones. I have two dogs (Buddo and Eevee) who are trained off leash and on leash; they are incredibly friendly and love to play with other dogs. I am a teacher with full-time availability for doggy day care, walks, or checking in on your furry loved ones in the summer! Once the school year starts up, I am only available on weekends. When caring at my own home: I have two friendly dogs of my own, with a very large backyard for play time. The yard is split into two separately fenced areas, which allows for some quiet time from my own dogs if necessary. When caring in your home: I am comfortable crating your furry friend, administering medication, and following special feeding instructions if necessary. I send regular photo updates, along with feeding/water updates to ensure you know that your loved ones are safe and cared for.
About: I’ve had plenty of barn cats growing up, and I loved taking responsibility for my fur babies. My sweet girl, in my picture is my pride and joy. You can’t ever spoil a cat. She can be spicy, but it’s been a learning experience curve and much needed.
“Great communication the entire time. Very passionate about this job, tons of pictures and videos and updates every day. Will definitely rebook when I need a pet sitter again, exactly the kind of person I'd want watching my pets”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Amanda! She was in our home for overnight stays over a 2 week period caring for our cat. Amanda put us completely at ease from day one which is very unique when essentially trusting a stranger with all the personal belongings and beloved pet to vacation out of the country. Her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly flexible in accommodating our cat's schedule. We really appreciated that she routinely sent thorough updates alongside wonderful photos. Amanda was so observant, asked thoughtful, clarifying questions to keep a close eye on our cat’s usual behavior and routines, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond her sitting duties by keeping our plants watered and leaving our home clean and secure. Amanda truly exceeded every expectation, and we feel so lucky to have met her through Rover. We will absolutely be booking her again if needed.”
“Sara helped out last minute and was super accommodating to take care of our Annie! The house was spotless when she left as well. Very grateful for services and we would love to have her back.”

About: I have had pets since I was young, and I have always been responsible for taking care of those animals, whether it’s walking them, cleaning up after them, bathing them, training them, and overall just making sure the animals are living in a very high-quality environment.

Overall, I find I get along great with any animal! Respecting their boundaries is very important to me! I just finished my first year of university and I am working over the summer! I work most days but with a flexible schedule that allows me to check on your pets throughout the day! In my home my dog is outside and inside, but our cat stays inside. I value their safety, and although my dog is outside sometimes, I check on them frequently and give them constant attention to ensure that they are okay. In a clients home, I will follow their guidelines on whether or not the pets are indoors or outdoors, and I will give frequent attention to maintain their safety and well-being.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for caring for cats. I’ve raised nearly 50 cats over the years, each with their own unique personality, needs, and quirks—so I truly understand feline behavior and how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your cat is playful, independent, or requires a little extra patience, I tailor my approach to fit their temperament. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications and keeping things spotless—deep-cleaning litter boxes and maintaining clean feeding areas are part of the routine. Your cat’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m here to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away.

“I brought Bowie over a few days before for piece of mind since I’ve never left her with anyone but family before. Tabitha and her husband were so great! They love dogs and I knew instantly Bowie was going to have a great time and feel right at home. They sent me photos throughout her time. I will definitely use their services again and recommend to family and friends!”
“Maude and her whole family could not have been more lovely!! We were visiting Olds for a family gathering and at the very last minute booked to have our 1.5 year old corgi pup spend the afternoon/evening at her home. Our Lowla had never been left anywhere before and it was better than we could have hoped for! Maude’s easy welcome put my mind at ease right away and I am sure Lowla would have happily stayed longer! Thank you Maude!! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“We brought our puppy to Karlee for doggy daycare since we weren’t comfortable putting her in an actual dog daycares. Our dog has absolutely thrived by spending time with Karlee. She has so much patience and love for dogs, and I honestly think our dog can sense this. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dog. We are returning customers for sure.”

About: Hello there! I'm Oindrila, you can call me Cinderella. Thanks for stopping by my profile. 🐾 I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always happiest around animals, and my own Golden Retriever, Buddy, was a huge part of my life before he sadly passed away last year. Taking care of him taught me how much patience, love, and consistency dogs need to feel happy and secure. I also gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through Rover in the U.S., where I regularly helped my aunt with dog boarding, dog walks, daycare, and daily care. Looking after dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities has only strengthened my passion for providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. At the moment, I am home full-time, which means your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys playing, exploring, cuddling, or simply relaxing beside someone, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I offer: 🐶 Dog Walking 🏡 Doggy Day Care 🛏️ Overnight Boarding 🚪 Drop-In Visits I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! My Home I live in a quiet, safe, and dog-friendly neighborhood in Airdrie. While I don't have a private backyard, your dog will enjoy regular walks around the neighborhood, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of opportunities to sniff, explore, and exercise. Inside, my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, giving your dog a comfortable place to relax between walks and playtime. Since I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and affection. Every dog has their own personality, and I always adjust my care to match their individual needs and routine. Before Your Dog's Stay To help your dog feel as comfortable as possible, I'd love to know: * Your dog's name, age, and breed * Feeding schedule and daily routine * Any medications, allergies, or special care instructions * Energy level and exercise needs * How they interact with other dogs and people * Favorite toys, treats, and activities * Anything else that helps them feel safe and happy The more I know beforehand, the better I can make their stay feel just like home. During Their Stay Your dog's day will be built around their normal routine as much as possible. We'll start the day with a potty break and breakfast, followed by walks through the neighborhood, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of attention throughout the day. There will be plenty of time to relax, nap, cuddle, or simply enjoy a calm environment between activities. In the evening, we'll head out for another walk before dinner and wind down with quiet time and one final potty break before bed. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, affection, and attention they deserve. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and excited to come back for another visit.
About: We’ve both grown up with pets in the home since we were kids and have extensive experience with dogs. We have our own dog Toby who’s a 9 year old rescue and great with anyone. Our house is spacious and there’s plenty of room for a crate or bed if needed when your pet comes to stay. We live steps to away from an off leash dog park as well as regular trips out to the mountains for walks and hikes. We both have quite flexible schedules and have open availability including WFH. Lots of time to play with the pups and getting them their needed exercise. We have a spacious home with lots of room to chill. Great new area with a dog park only steps away. Are also mobile and do regular trips out to the mountains for a good stretch !
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! Throughout my life I’ve had dogs, cat, horses, birds and guinea pigs as pets! At the present moment I live with two cats, and because of them I’ve learned a lot about how to take care of animals, including medication if needed. I love my cats, and even though they are very playful, I miss spending time with a dog, because they are so much fun to be around and play with! Spending quality time with my pets has always been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I believe it to be important for them too. Throughout my pet experience I’ve to give oral medication and subcutaneous fluids, tend to stitches, groom, clip nails and bathe.
“Oscar was so well cared for and loved while he stayed with Jacqueline. They sent updates and pictures while he was there and he looked so happy ! They have a beautiful fenced outdoor space for the dogs to run around in as well. I will definitely be bringing Oscar back there!”
“I am so impressed with Jeff! I think Arthur had the time of his life this past week while he was in Jeffs care. Jeff sent so many picture and video updates of Arthur having fun with all the other dogs and even sleeping on his lap (Arthur is a lab so not so much lap dog size lol) we will defiantly be using him in the. Thanks for loving my baby while I was away Jeff!”
About: I have been a proud pet parent to many cats and dogs throughout my lifetime, starting as a child. I have raised and trained dogs from puppyhood, as well as raised rescued kittens and cats. Currently, my family has a smart, friendly and endlessly curious 5-year-old male beagle, and a sweet, cuddly 11-year-old female cat. My wife, Ellen, and I are both home during the day right now and have flexible schedules. I have a very flexible schedule currently that can be adjusted around any pet care that is booked. My wife and I can take the dogs for a walk every day and provide plenty of play time to work off energy as needed. I have a fenced yard and a spacious home with many different rooms available so every one can have their space as needed. Your pet will be in company of our playful and vocal 5-year old beagle, Percy, our friendly 11-year old cat, May, and our human family of 4 (myself, my wife, and our 2 little girls).

About: I lived with a friend on a hobby farm. She showed me the ropes. I learned how to take care of all animals big and small. I am willing and able to assist in medicine administration. I have tons of free time that I’d love to dedicate to ensuring your furry friend has their needs through the day and even when you’re on vacation I work full time in the city and I hardly ever leave the province and can dedicate as much time needed with your fur babies as you need! I’m very good with early mornings and late night visits. I won’t have pets in my home as I have a cat myself, but I will ensure I know where all food, treats, toys and everything else they require before you leave. I will ask for an emergency response plan in the event I need to get ahold of you asap. I also have my own reliable transportation and will ask for the vet you use in dire emergencies. I will also supervise play time as I know how quick everything can go sideways. I also am very clean, if there’s a mess from your pet, it’ll be cleaned. And I have no problem cleaning litter boxes as well.

About: Hello! My name is Luisa, and my pets are my whole world. I promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own. I am especially passionate about working with animals who may be fearful or have special needs. I have previously completed a two-year apprenticeship under a force-free dog trainer in Calgary, and although I am not currently working as a trainer due to completing my master's, what I learned informs all my interactions with animals. Through fostering and our own pets, I have experience administering medications to a wide range of animals (dogs, cats, bearded dragons, geckos, hedgehogs). At home, my husband and I have two dogs, a cat, and a multitude of reptiles and exotics. We also foster from time to time, which has given us experience with so many other species and personalities. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. I am in Red Deer for a practicum placement Monday-Wednesday, and in Calgary the remainder of the week. I can be somewhat flexible with this, so please feel free to message me! My pets would describe me as a helicopter mom, I would describe me as attentive! When I travel, our pet-sitter gets a multi-page document on everyone's needs, so I am not intimidated to receive the same; this just means I can adjust my routine to your pet(s)'...it is their home after all!
“Brianna was amazing with our lab Fig. She walked her everyday while we were on vacation and she was staying with a family member. She was flexible and reliable and so easy to communicate with. Fig looked forward to her walk everyday with Brianna and she gave us the best updates throughout the week. Absolutely recommend her for anything, and if we ever need her services again, we absolutely will be reaching out.”

I live on an acreage with a fenced yard and two friendly Maltese dogs and a dog friendly cat named Nigel. Dogs names are Maggie and Monty.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a young teenager. Dogs are truly my passion. I have been caring for digs of all ages from neonatal puppies, to senior dogs and am confident I can provide care that is just like family to your dog. I have pets of my own who get daily care (walks, play time, training time) daily. I am excited for the opportunity to care for other dogs too! In my home my pets are on a daily routine, we get up in the morning to potty and play, then relax for a bit before we go out on a walk. We train throughout the day in small sessions. Routine is the best for any dog.
About: I've fostered dogs, took care of neighbors animals and done dog walking. I have my own yellow lab who is my emotional support girl! I love puppies and senior dogs and all ages in between. I have lots of time for lunch walks, after work walks or play and can most definitely do weekends and have your fur baby stay with me too I take my dog for 3 to 4 walks a day so I can do the same for yours. We go to the river and throw the ball or she swims a bit.

About: We welcome only one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pup enjoys a calm, personalized stay with our family in a peaceful home setting. My retired parents love having dogs around and are home throughout the day, so your dog has plenty of company, care, and attention. Your pup is rarely left alone. We know every dog is different, so we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what helps them feel comfortable. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, relaxed and at home while you’re away. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve wracking. I’m always happy to do a meet & greet before the first stay. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My parents are both retired and genuinely love having dogs around the house. Between my parents and me, there’s almost always someone home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. We also only take a small number of dogs at a time because we want each one to get plenty of attention and feel comfortable here, not just be one of many. We have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, along with plenty of cozy spots inside. We also back onto a park, so walks are easy and there’s always something new to explore.
About: I currently work from home in marketing from Calgary and I'm looking for some extra work that aligns with my passion for animals. I have experience taking care of animals (meal prep, grooming, feeding, playing etc.). I would love to meet your furry friends 😊 When I come to your house I will dedicate my time to providing lots of nourishment and entertainment for your pet. There's nothing I love more than cats and dogs, animals make me happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home so there is alot of flexibility for time of day. I can also take last minute requests. I can be available on weekends as well. I live with an Australian Shepherd and take him for walks multiple times per day. I have experience feeding, cleaning and playing with dogs and cats.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was very young. Neighbours, friends and even family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love sitting dogs and cats, I am a animal lover and thrive spending time with them! I help out at a farm outside of Airdrie that has lots of barn cats, and I help socialize, play and feed them on a weekly basis. I am currently working full time during the week, and make time when I can whether it’s early morning, evenings or weekends I can come by and check on your pet :) I make sure that whichever animal I take care for get sufficient amount of exercise and care they need throughout the day/ evening. If medications are needed, I make sure to administer that at the time they are normally scheduled for.
About: I have always had a special connection to animals. I have lots of experience with large to small dogs. I love going on multiple walks with the pups as well as taking them on hikes out to the mountains (if that is something you wish). I have no problem taking them to a dog park as I have an suv. I will send updates on your animals with pictures and videos. I myself have a cat so I have a lot of experience with felines as well. You can count on me to give your fur babes the best love,attention, cuddles and care. If you would like me to stay at your home overnight I will treat it as my own and make sure to leave it in pristine condition. I look forwards to meeting you and making new furry friends.

“Tanya was amazing with our girl, took her for walks and gave her lots of love while we were away. We also got updates every day and felt totally comfortable leaving our dog there. Definitely recommend. Thanks again, Tanya!”
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay! She communicates well and kept us informed with all we needed to know and sent pictures of our pets during our stay. I recommend Alexis to care for your pets’ needs!”
“Lisa was great! She made our dog feel so relaxed and cared for. She took steps to make him feel at home and comfortable. Lisa sent picture regularly of Berkley playing and smiling. I’m pretty sure he wishes he lived there all the time because he spend the first 2 days back at home moping. That’s a sign of great care!!”
“Tawnya & Jeremy take good care of our dog whenever we are out of town. He gets to play with their kiddos and loves hanging out on their deck! We get regular updates from them and have never had an issue. Would highly recommend Tawnya and Jeremy!”
“Yulina was great with my little Daisy . She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. She sent me regular updates with photos and videos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Daisy absolutely loved her and was so happy and relaxed when I got back. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs — I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“We could not have had better sitters for our sweet Frankie-Bear. We only had the pleasure of meeting Dane and Toby at drop-off and pick-up, but it was clear he was loved by everyone caring for him for the time he was there. Next time we’re in need of a sitter they are the first ones we’re booking. Dane is so warm and kind, and Toby so gentle, mild-mannered, and sweet; just such a wonderful experience overall knowing that our boy was in the best of hands. Highly recommend!”

My name is Paige, and I’m certified in Pet First-Aid and also a Fear Free Certified Professional. I am new to rover but not new to pet care. When choosing my services, you can be confident you’re choosing someone who has a strong love for animals and who takes your pet care seriously as well as keeping your pets safe. I am passionate in pursuing a professional career dog boarding and training; I am currently making my way through the necessary trainings and certifications to get there. Your pet will always be in good hands with me and very loved! Animals have been a love in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets, I knew I wanted one of my own one day. At a young age, I began caring for pets of family, family friends, neighbours and coworkers. I eventually got a pup of my own and enjoyed training her as a puppy into adulthood! I’d love the opportunity to also care for your fur-family! Your pets well-being, safety and health are a priority in my home and when out for walks in the neighbourhood. I am excited to give each dog the love and care they need to have the best day, always caring for them as I would my own pup. Initial meet and greets are always complimentary to ensure full comfort.

I follow all instructions for pet care with diet restrictions, feeding times, exercise needs, playtime needs as well as needed affection. My girl has severe allergies, and we are a friendly home that caters to these sensitivities. I have dividers in my home to separate them at meal times if needed for allergy purposes as well. I am new to Rover as a sitter, but not new to pet care and offering safe pet care to family, friends, and recommendations through them. I’m currently pursuing the educational requirements to become a professional dog trainer and my passion is to build a successful business helping families to care and train their pets. I currently offer 1-2 spots for boarding and daycare and I have a dream to upgrade one day, to run a pet resort here in Calgary! I offer gentle and positive-reinforcing training and care within my home and also have a friendly dog. She is well trained, submissive, and extremely gentle with all dogs, including tiny breeds. She gets along with all animals and loves company! My home is very safe for providing care and puppy-proofed as needed! I am dedicated to providing a safe environment for boarding and daycare.
About: Hello there! I'm Oindrila, you can call me Cinderella. Thanks for stopping by my profile. 🐾 I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always happiest around animals, and my own Golden Retriever, Buddy, was a huge part of my life before he sadly passed away last year. Taking care of him taught me how much patience, love, and consistency dogs need to feel happy and secure. I also gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through Rover in the U.S., where I regularly helped my aunt with dog boarding, dog walks, daycare, and daily care. Looking after dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities has only strengthened my passion for providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. At the moment, I am home full-time, which means your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys playing, exploring, cuddling, or simply relaxing beside someone, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I offer: 🐶 Dog Walking 🏡 Doggy Day Care 🛏️ Overnight Boarding 🚪 Drop-In Visits I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! My Home I live in a quiet, safe, and dog-friendly neighborhood in Airdrie. While I don't have a private backyard, your dog will enjoy regular walks around the neighborhood, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of opportunities to sniff, explore, and exercise. Inside, my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, giving your dog a comfortable place to relax between walks and playtime. Since I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and affection. Every dog has their own personality, and I always adjust my care to match their individual needs and routine. Before Your Dog's Stay To help your dog feel as comfortable as possible, I'd love to know: * Your dog's name, age, and breed * Feeding schedule and daily routine * Any medications, allergies, or special care instructions * Energy level and exercise needs * How they interact with other dogs and people * Favorite toys, treats, and activities * Anything else that helps them feel safe and happy The more I know beforehand, the better I can make their stay feel just like home. During Their Stay Your dog's day will be built around their normal routine as much as possible. We'll start the day with a potty break and breakfast, followed by walks through the neighborhood, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of attention throughout the day. There will be plenty of time to relax, nap, cuddle, or simply enjoy a calm environment between activities. In the evening, we'll head out for another walk before dinner and wind down with quiet time and one final potty break before bed. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, affection, and attention they deserve. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and excited to come back for another visit.
“Penny was wonderful with our puppy, Daisy! It was our first time leaving her and we felt comfortable the whole time. Penny sent pictures and videos and made sure we knew Daisy was safe and happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Jeff is an absolute gem and top-notch human. He was very keen on having our dogs meet his and our first meeting was very extensive and left us feeling incredibly comfortable. His dogs were friendly with ourselves and our dogs. He was easy to communicate with and very prompt. We got lots of updates throughout their stay and enjoyed the pictures and videos. Rory and Chuck had a blast and came home very tired form playing and going on long walks. A fanatic experience for all involved.”
“The loving environment Kandie created for my pup Doug was so appreciated. For two weeks they reassured me on his care and the fun he was given. He was a puppy and definitely a handful, but you wouldn’t of known it by the positive reviews, pics and comments given every day. Thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy my vacation worry free. Doug just adored you.”
About: Have done a lot of fostering for an animal rescue so comfortable with a large variety of breeds. We enjoy getting out so your dogs won’t be bored. I work in a school so I am off on weekends, all major holidays and all summer. But love daily walks and my schedule is very accommodating. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. We do have cats in the home but they don’t care about other pets. Non smoking home.
“Aimee was fantastic! She was so friendly, kept us updated and is very responsive. You could really tell how much she loved dogs and we were extremely comfortable leaving our precious Nova in her care. She went above and beyond with walks and making her feel loved too. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Evan is a true dog lover and absolutely amazing! Our dog stayed with Evan and his wonderful family for 11 days, and the level of care he received was unmatched. At the beginning of the stay, Evan even spoon-fed him just to make sure he felt comfortable and safe. He took him on long, fun walks and kept us completely at ease with daily pictures and sweet anecdotes. If you are looking for someone who will truly care for your pup as their own, look no further. Evan is the one!”
