Dougie had a great time at Carina’s .He got pretty spoiled !!! Carina was very accommodating, as our dog has diabetes , she took him on small walks and let him go at his own pace .Loved that she sent videos of their excursions.He certainly was well cared for .I would highly recommend Carina ❤️

We cant say enough good things about Polly-Anna!!! Her and her family took such great care of our girl. It was our first time leaving her for longer than one night, Polly-Anna sent us lots of picture and video updates. Her three pups took to luna right away and put up with her wild puppy energy! There is very secure fencing for when she was outside, she even got to meet rabbits, pigs, chickens and turkeys(through the fence)!! We feel lucky to have found someone who loves and cares for our fur baby as much as we do. We have already re booked for when we are away next and will recommend her to anyone we know needing pet care🙂

Ginette was incredible with our dog Zeus. She was attentive and went above and beyond to take care of him. He had some separation anxiety and she took extra measures to make sure he ate and drank water. She also sent plenty of pictures and responded to any questions I had very promptly. I would highly recommend Ginette to take care of your fur babies anyday and we'll be booking with her again.

Laura and John are amazing! They have a beautiful home and a big fenced in yard for your pups to play. They have two beautiful and friendly golden retrievers who were great with our girl. Our pup, Skye, was spoiled in their care and it was very clear that they took her in as if she was one of their own. Laura kept in touch regularly and sent photos of our very happy girl. They took Skye to Gull Lake to swim and play which was above and beyond. Skye made herself right at home with Laura and John! We were incredibly pleased with the care and will definitely be asking Laura and John to watch Skye in the future.

About: Growing up around animals all my life, I've got experience with all kinds of pets! I love dogs and the energy they radiate! I try to go above and beyond with everything I do, and take pride in my work! I will treat your dog as my own, and make sure that by the time you get your fur-baby back, they'll be pooped! All dogs being boarded will have to be friendly with cats as I have one and he is quite timid. I’m trying to stick more to dog walking, but I’d love to board your animal or do drop in visits for you as well! On our walks, you can expect your baby to be mentally stimulated, excersized, and tired by the time they’re home! If arranged, I can do one hour walks instead of the 30 minute walk Rover suggests! Thank you for reading, I can’t wait to meet you!

We have appreciated her wonderful communication, with regular updates and photos that give us peace of mind while he is there. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Our puppy adores her, and we feel completely confident leaving him in her care. Highly recommend!

I am always a bit nervous leaving my pup with a new sitter, but Ginette made me feel at ease upon drop off, and seems like a kind genuine person. She sent adorable update photos through the day to let me know things were going well. Also- My day ran late and she was totally fine with me picking her up later than the original time. I know my puppy is a handful but she must have had a fun day! She was excited to see me but fell asleep shortly after pickup, resting after a fun-filled day :) Highly recommended!

About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.

About: Dogs are family. We live on an acerage with our golden retrievers, Zoe and Luna. We work from home and we love having other dogs come to visit so Zoe and Luna stay social and get even more run-around and play time. We are flexible and love meeting new dogs. Your pet will be treated like family. We both work full time from home. So we're here all day to let your fur baby play inside or outside with our own dogs. They'll have great fun exploring the yard and pulling sticks out of our small treed thicket. In the evenings and on the weekends we may go for a walk to the beach and play in the water. We're here all day and available for whatever your pet needs. Frequent potty breaks? No problem! Our own dogs, Zoe and Luna, love to meet and play with other dogs. We have 2 acres of fully fenced yard for them to play and run around.
