“We couldn’t be more grateful to Kumiko for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Teddy, while we were on vacation. From the moment we left, Kumiko made sure we felt completely at ease by sending regular updates and pictures, which allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing he was in great hands. Teddy seemed so happy and well-cared for, and it was clear that Kumiko genuinely loves dogs. Her attention to detail and thoughtful care exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be entrusting her with Teddy again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I have never felt more comfortable and relaxed leaving my pup as I had with Lisa! She is so caring and attentive and made Maximus feel so loved and welcome! She even stayed next to Maximus on his first night as she sensed some separation anxiety and just to make him feel safe and secure !That was so very much appreciated and so very very thoughtful! I loved the daily updates and pictures! It was comforting to know he was ok and very well looked after! ❤️It was great that he has some wonderful socialisation with her three pups and two cats!!❤️ I will always ask Lisa as to her availability for any future pet sitting needs! I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for pet boarding 🌹”

About: Hello! My name is Sara! I’ve had pets my entire life and enjoy caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of different sizes and breeds, including those with extra needs such as medications. I have one dog of my own named Willow, she is a black lab mix with a lot of energy. While I'm not able to host other dogs at my place, I'm more than happy to take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home. I have a regular day to day job that has me out of the house for 8 - 9 hours a day Monday through Friday. What care routine do you follow in your home? The routine you have set is what will be followed while I'm caring for your pets.
About: I have had animals in my home since I was 7 years old. I have had a variety of different animals, and along the way they have all left an imprint on my heart in there own way and have taught me many lessons. I currently live on a farm, and have many animals and experience with many different types of animals. I have taken two training courses, and now train all our own animals. I have also fostered in Calgary for 8 years before moving to the farm. I have specialized in rehabilitation, shy, abused, fearful, and neglected animals. I give these animals grace, a loving, soft and caring place to be able to find forever homes, and in some cases my home was home. I have had seniors, wounded, babies, and sick animals in my home. We have also had new births and babies on the farm. I am truly meant to be taking care of animals, definitely my calling. Now that my kids are grown I left the school system, and I am getting back to what I love. This along with my farm are my commitments. I can devote all the time needed to care for your fur family as required. I have a fully fenced 2 acre area for dogs to play. I do have a heated shop, and outdoor run available, that always are accessable. I have rooms in my home that when we take in dogs it's designated their space. Free roam is all day when home. But unless I need to leave, for the safety of your animals, a round wire area is designated for your pet. Will also depend on frequency and relationship built, these dynamics could change over time.
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”
“Gabriella was great - prompt response when I sent in a cat sitting request She looked after my pet (cat) just over a week, and all went well She even shoveled the snow on the driveway!”
About: I have been raised around cats and currently have a cat of my own who is 8 years old. I love spending time with cats, even those that don't want to be touched or bothered. My cat comes from a traumatic background and requires a lot of patience and time to open up. I am used to all different cat personalities and think they are truly incredible creatures.
“Kateryna was amazing!! She was really flexible with last minute changes and caring with our cats. She really cared for them and made me feel better when I was away from them. We will make sure to book her again for our next trip. Thank you Kateryna!!”
“I’ve used Brianna twice to look after my cat. She was a great communicator and so lovely with Finn. I recently left on a long Europe trip and was quite nervous about leaving him for so long. Brianna was great at sending me updates and easing my mind that he was well taken care of. When I retuned, she cleaned thoroughly and made coming home such a breeze. I would definitely recommend her :)”
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.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Reptiles,cats,dogs,birds and enjoy spending my time around them.I'm experienced in giving my own cat medication and have experienced doing injections so im confident in my ability to do so with your animal.due to my experience in walking and pet sitting for many years and working in a preschool for three years I have lots of experience in animal and child care and would love to care properly for your animal
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.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I recently moved to Canada from Ukraine, while my own dog, Oskar, stayed back home with my family. I miss him every day, and caring for other dogs brings me so much joy and helps me feel connected to what I love most. I’ve spent years looking after Oskar as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and love. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m available for overnight stays, evenings, weekends, and longer bookings. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide regular photo and message updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every dog deserves to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their family is away :)
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. I have both a cat and a dogs. My dog is a bit larger, so I am knowledgeable on how to properly take care of a larger dog. I have also taken care of small dogs that my family and friends have had. 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: I’ve helped run a home-based cat shelter and volunteered at a shelter in Canada, so I’m used to all kinds of cats—shy, sassy, senior, or extra needy. I’m comfortable with all medical care, including pills, injections, and special-needs routines. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to take the time to earn trust, keep litter boxes truly clean, and make sure every cat feels safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾

“I have used Lynnet and Romeo for doggy daycare as well as overnight boarding. My puppy Finn has become a regular at Lynnet and Romeo’s and is so excited every time I drop him off. He’s usually very nervous to go somewhere without me so this says a lot! He comes home happy and tuckered at the end of his weekly visit!”
About: Hi, I’m Kelsey! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I was lucky to share 14 wonderful years with my own dog, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge three years ago. While I miss having a dog of my own, caring for other people’s pets has become a meaningful way to keep animals in my life. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and flexibility throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I live near some of Calgary’s best green spaces, including Sue Higgins Park, Carburn Park, and Beaverdam Flats—perfect locations for walks, sniffing adventures, and exploring the outdoors. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in the mountains, camping, and travelling. On the occasional weekend, you’ll find me happily staying home and enjoying a quieter pace. Because I don’t currently have pets of my own, your furry family member will receive my full attention while they’re in my care. I also have experience caring for cats and absolutely adore them. Whether your companion barks, purrs, chirps, or meows, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work from home, so I am able to provide full day care. I understand the importance of different needs for pets, whether it be physical needs or behavioural preferences. I have experience providing car to animals requiring medication, my former senior dog required daily medications. It is important to have regular bathroom breaks and walks, I am able to assist in ensuring your pet gets its daily needs met.
“Most wonderful couple ever on rover !!! They took such great care of Chips, even though we had specific instructions they were very accommodating! Chips loved them so much that we said their name and he recognized them hehehe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Yonathan and Lezette were awesome! They looked after our Murphy on very short notice, followed all of our instructions for his restricted diet, took lots of photos, and even took him on an extra walk. We would love to work with them again!”
“Christine took care of our Gemmi in an exceptional way. Due to a family health crisis in our home Christine was there to make sure Gemmi had care and love she needed during this stressful time. We highly recommend Christine.”
About: Owner of Golden Peaks Pet Services. 4 years experience and over 15 years of caring for pets. I am reliable, patient and supportive to each. Im mainly self employed with my dog business and other projects. I do daily dog walking though so if dogs are friendly could always add to my walking :) other wise I work at a gym and work for no more than 4 hours at a time. I will take care of your home in a way of keeping everything where I found it . With my home I do not mind the hair, so it’s all warm welcomes and freedom over here! I do have a cat who is friendly, she had been around plenty of dogs and seems to do her own thing while there around.
“Sara is absolutely the best! She recently took care of my dog, Evelia, for doggy day care, and I couldn’t be happier. Evelia came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Sara is kind, attentive, and truly cares for the pets she looks after. I completely trust her, and she’s my go-to whenever I need pet sitting. Highly recommend!”
“Emily has been so amazing with Tucker! She’s lovely, easy to coordinate with, and very flexible! Would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a lovely companion for their pup!”
About: I have been fostering pups large & small for the last several years through a local rescue as well as regularly caring for family and friends furry pals. In addition, we’ve enjoyed having our own pups for the last 10 years. I am a believer in positive reinforcement and understand that all dogs have different personalities and needs. Does your dog like to jump around and play? Wait til you see our collection of toys! Do they need a bit of space and prefer a quiet spot to relax? We’ve got plenty of cozy corners to make that happen. I have experience with caring for blind/deaf, elderly, and very young dogs, and preparing raw food. I work from home full time, making it easy to provide supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day for boarding & doggy daycare guests. I’m happy to have your pup on weekdays and weekends for daycare or sleepovers. Our home is set up for furry friends! I have a friendly resident dog, Hank, who loves having a friend to hang with. I allow dogs on the couch and have lots of comfy beds for them to sleep in too. Hank is a free range pup and has full access to the house when we are out and I’m happy to let your pup do the same. If a crate makes your furry friends feel safer, we have a nice one that can easily be set up for them. Our yard is perfect for sun bathing, or getting some zoomies out. You can rest assured your pup will be safe as it’s fully fenced. The cameras we have in the yard often pick up some silly moments! I will be glad to provide updates and photos throughout your pups visit so you know what they’re up to.
“I had a wonderful experience with Whitney!! I was in a bind with my 4 month old puppy, Harvey. My work schedule was changed abruptly and Whitney was able to accommodate my booking request very promptly. She was so friendly and helpful with all my questions. Whitney and her family are so welcoming and I can tell that Harvey loves going there for doggy daycare! He gets excited in the morning as soon as he sees Whitney. Thank you, Whitney and family, for providing such a high level of care to our pup and being so wonderful! We always feel safe dropping Harvey off with you!!”
About: I’ve shaped my home and my approach to dog care around the lessons I learned from my own late dog, a rescue with mobility and medication needs. When he first came to me, he struggled to move comfortably — but with patience, support, and a calm environment, he recovered and went on to live a full, happy 14 years. Caring for him taught me how to adapt a home to meet a dog’s unique needs, how to support anxious or sensitive pups, and how to create routines that help them feel safe. My home now reflects that experience. I have a large open living area with no furniture, giving dogs plenty of room for play, movement, and enrichment. There’s also a separate exercise room with mats that doubles as a quiet decompression space for dogs who need a break or prefer a low‑stim environment. Dogs are welcome to sleep in my room if they like closeness and comfort, and there’s a park right outside my building for easy walks and outdoor time. I never crate dogs unless an owner specifically requests it. Pet care is part of the rhythm of my day. I’m home full time, so I build my routine around the dogs in my care—morning potty breaks, breakfast, a walk to the park outside my building, playtime in my open living area, and quiet rest periods in my decompression room. My late rescue dog had mobility and medication needs, so I’m very comfortable with consistent schedules, gentle support, and adapting the day to match each dog’s comfort level. Dogs are with me throughout the day, not left alone for long stretches. My home is set up intentionally for dogs. I have a large open living area with no furniture, giving plenty of space for movement, play, and enrichment. I also have a separate exercise room with mats that doubles as a quiet decompression space for dogs who need a break or prefer a low‑stim environment. Dogs can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable, including in my room if they like closeness. I never crate unless an owner requests it. Because of my experience caring for my late rescue dog—who recovered from mobility issues and lived a full 14 years—I’m attentive to individual needs, medication routines, and gentle handling.
“Jolene is wonderful-- very loving and patient for my year old puppy who is on a learning curve. I actually chose Jolene because she has a daughter who I just knew Steiner would love playing. This was the perfect care option for Steiner. Thank you, Jolene and Lucy”
“Freddie loves going to visit Tracy, Bruno and Sam! Tracy clearly loves all dogs, is super communicative, reliable and accommodating. She takes care of our little buddy's quirks so well and brings him on lots of fun outings and adventures. Tracy is a caring and enthusiastic dog sitter that we would definitely recommend!”
“My dog was a very happy dog while staying with Anastasia and her mother! Anastasia was able to fulfill a last minute booking for me and I am beyond grateful! She was extremely quick to respond and a great communicator! Thank-you Anastasia and mom!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and was lucky to spend 10 wonderful years with my golden retriever, who showed me how special a deep, trusting bond with a dog can be. I trained him in all the basics like sit, stay, wait, and leave it, and he will always hold a big place in my heart. These days, my home is shared with a playful 10-month-old bichon-poodle mix who keeps life joyful and has the sweetest bond with me as her main caregiver. I’m also a foster mom for a rescue group here in Calgary, where I open my home and heart to dogs who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and gentle care as they settle into a safe, loving environment. When your pup is with me, I focus on following their routine and helping them feel right at home—whether that means slow, relaxed mornings, quiet cuddle time, playful moments, or simply giving them space to be themselves. I truly treat every dog like family and care for them as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I would be honoured to give you peace of mind while giving your pup a warm, happy, and comforting experience. I’m not working at the moment, which means my schedule is very flexible. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs and your pup’s routine. I know it can feel overwhelming for a pup to meet someone new or adjust to a different environment. That’s why I take the time to read their body language and pay attention to their unique cues, so I can better understand how they’re feeling. By approaching them with patience, empathy, and respect, I help create a safe space where they can relax and build trust at their own pace.
“I’m super Glad that I found Amanda for taking care of my dogs. She was nice enough to accommodate my last minute booking and provided the best care for my dogs. Everyone in her family was kind and welcoming toward my dogs. I could tell as my dogs got super excited to go to her place every morning and came home happy and tired. Definitely she is going to be my go to dog sitter in future. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”

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: Growing up with 3 large dogs and 1-2 cats at any given time, I will be excellent with your fur babies. I am very reliable, and excited to meet your pets! I currently have a cat who is a two year old brown tabby. She has enough energy for the entire household and loves running around the house playing with whatever she can find. I love sports, specifically hockey, and love to be active whether that be a run or rollerblade by myself! I also enjoy doing puzzles, but it is tricky when my cat knocks over all of the pieces onto the floor. I am full of love and here for all your pet-care needs :) I’m currently working full time from home but am affording the flexibility to check on your pets during the day most times! Let me know how I can best care for your pet :) I love creating an environment where the animal is stress-free and feels loved and at home. Show me your routine and help me be a seamless shoe-in during your absence!
“Gabriella saved my day! I needed a last minute walk done and she accepted. Gunner was very happy and content when I got home and Gabrielle was wonderful, sending pictures and great communication.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years and have an amazing ability for having them relate to me. I am only working a full day on Friday's and my husband works out of a home office so I am very flexible regarding availability. 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: 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 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.
About: I’ve had 5 dogs in my household since I was born. I trained 2 out of the five as I got older. I have pet sitted before and I have an absolute love for dogs. Currently we have adopted a puppy from fostering, we absolutely love her! We don’t know the breed or how big she will get but she’s been an absolute delight in our household! I always enjoy a good walk myself or a visit to a family friendly park with other dogs. Currently working on dog parks with my own puppy at home! Over the summer months would like to walk more dogs as my job is currently slow. I love the outdoors so I definitely enjoy taking my puppy for walks and to parks with nice scenic views. We enjoy visiting other dogs for play time for socialization! I enjoy playing with toys with our puppy, chasing a ball outside or teaching her how to be without a leash. We always use treats to learn new skills!
About: Hello, I am an architectural technologist, and fitness freak. I own a 9 year old French Bulldog. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I am a crazy puppers owner, i love my furbaby like a human baby. I am very strict about health and behaviour with my doggo. My French bulldog is a sweet heart and cuddle monster, although he also struggles in big crowds. Which is something that is common with Frenchies, he gets anxiety and sometimes will then becomes aggressive with other dogs. Which is something I have been working on with him, and have seen great strides in the training I have been doing with him. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ive owned dogs my whole life, i am very passionate about animals. I love spending time outdoors and being active so walking dogs is perfect for my daily routine. I am an animal lover, so it’s the perfect job My French bulldog has IVDD and hip dysplasia. He’s also had leg surgery so I am the type of person that will do anything for my pet.
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 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. I have both a cat and a dogs. My dog is a bit larger, so I am knowledgeable on how to properly take care of a larger dog. I have also taken care of small dogs that my family and friends have had. 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: Ever since I was a baby I’ve spent my life around animals from small to large, domestic to farm. I have always had a deep compassion for animals. As a child I always wanted to be around and with animals wanting to grow up working with them in any way. I have 5 years of experience working on a dairy farm and have worked at a doggy daycare. In 2023 I got my first puppy as an adult. Since then I have rescued 1, and had 2 rehomed to me as well. In my free time a few days a week I volunteer at the CHS taking dogs out for the day giving them a break from the shelter, showing them what everyday life looks like. Animals are already a huge part of my everyday life, so dog walking fits very naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule with availability every other week from 4:30pm–10:00pm, and on alternating weeks from 7:00am–10:00pm. I enjoy getting out for walks, spending time with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking to their normal routines, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand how important trust, patience, and consistency are when caring for someone else’s pet.
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.

“I have never felt more comfortable and relaxed leaving my pup as I had with Lisa! She is so caring and attentive and made Maximus feel so loved and welcome! She even stayed next to Maximus on his first night as she sensed some separation anxiety and just to make him feel safe and secure !That was so very much appreciated and so very very thoughtful! I loved the daily updates and pictures! It was comforting to know he was ok and very well looked after! ❤️It was great that he has some wonderful socialisation with her three pups and two cats!!❤️ I will always ask Lisa as to her availability for any future pet sitting needs! I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for pet boarding 🌹”
