“Dan was super kind and flexible, and really helped us out when we weren't able to find another sitter for our area. He provided detailed photo updates which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Would give 10 stars if that were an option. Thanks Dan!”


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.
“My doggy and I both LOVE Erica! She was timely and reliable. She took stitch for a walk and socialized her with other dachshunds. I definitely came home to happy and tired puppy. Will absolutely be using Erica 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.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. I've owned everything from furry friends like dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits, to scaly babies, such as lizards! I love all animals and I love having the extra company around. So long as my two dogs and cat are good companions for yours! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I am home all the time with my fur babies, and my real baby. I have large vehicle with which we usually go for drives. (Timbits galore). My dog's and cat are free roam in the house. They often nap wherever they want, and have a large fenced in backyard to run and play in. We go for daily walks, and are on a two meals a day schedule. My dog, Maverick, is on anxiety medication, so I am able to do med administration as well.
“Lianne was wonderful. She came for a meet and greet beforehand, and the following day checked in on our fur baby twice while we were away. She communicated the whole time and we felt very comfortable with her. Highly recommended 😊”

About: I have taken the time to do the research and get certifications to ensure your pup has the best care possible. I will treat your fur family like they are my own and will be happy to do so. I am currently trying to build a pet training, sitting, and K9 meal plan business. My time is dedicated to meeting fantastic new owners, learning about different critters to satisfy their needs, and becoming a paramedic. My yard is fenced in along with having a backup 20 foot long lead for those escape artists. I have heavy duty pet gates and crates installed for separation. If your pup is friendly and fixed my 3 old female dog who was raised in a pack of 9 on a farm loves to make new friends and is good with all sizes and temperaments (including cats). I use a hospital grade pet safe cleaner and sanitizer between boarding. I prefer to work with 1 owner at a time (max. 3 dogs depending) so your pup has all of the attention and love needed while you’re away.
