“I have nothing but good things to say, they spent lots of time with my dog while I was out of town when they went over to check in on him, took him for walks and played with his favorite toys. Your pets are in good hands with Dan and Véronique!”


About: I have had dogs all my life and can't wait to meet yours! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend quality time playing with and exercising your pup. My 6-year old Golden Retriever Kap loves other dogs if yours enjoys some socializing. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so anytime you need help during the week (I may have occasional weekend availability - just reach out) I am currently offering dog walking and/or drop-in services for dogs and cats - I treat your pets like my own and adapt our activities to your pet’s personality.
“Erica was fantastic! She accepted our super last minute booking and was a great communicator. We got pictures of Akira and knew she was in great hands. We definitely would use her again!”

About: I have had pets my whole life, ranging from rabbits to dogs and even horses. Growing up my parents operated a boarding facility for horses so taking care of other people’s animals is in my blood. My dog comes with me everywhere he can but when he can’t I have to depend on a Rover sitter just like me! I work full time but am available during select evenings and weekends. Dogs are welcome to join my senior lab mix on his evening fun, or for less social creatures I can meet them at home and make sure they get what they need. I do have a senior lab mix and a rabbit in my home so dogs who have behavioural needs concerning prey drive or relationships with other dogs will not be eligible for boarding in my home. I have lots of space inside and out for everyone to sprawl and do their own thing. I have no children and none that visit.

“Kennedy was fantastic—she arrived right on time, kept me updated during and after her visit, and had great communication throughout. She was also very friendly and easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Lianne was very easy to work with. She was communicative and was still up to looking after our fur baby who has some behavioural issues with new people. We were very grateful that she was able to come to our house to check on him and let him out while we were away. Would definitely ask her again! Thanks Lianne!”

About: I’ve grown up with and around dogs and always loved being around and taking care of them. Since 2024 I spent lots of time worthing with dogs of all ages and (mostly mixed) breeds at Petsave in lively. I found my joy in fostering and walking dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I’ll be able to help you no matter if your dogs needs a quick walk to relive themselves or even on longer walks up to 2 hours ( up to 8 km). I work early morning shifts and get home shortly after lunch, meaning I can take your pups out anywhere from 1:30-8 pm Monday to Saturday or anytime on Sunday (even when the weather is less than ideal) I have a fenced in yard with two friendly 70-80 llb mixed breed dogs. The fence is between 5-6 ft tall to ensure even escape artists stay contained and safe. With two of my own at home I have gathered plenty of supplies and techniques to safely secure and walk up to three dogs at once.
