“Kelsey was fantastic and so accommodating. We brought Charlee over to meet her ahead of time. Her dog Franky is so sweet and a perfect companion for other dogs. Kelsey sent pictures and videos. Charlee looked so happy. We will definitely plan our next vacation around Kelsey's availability”


“Amy and her son Teddy are super awesome!! Amy kept us updated with pictures and messages regularly. Jammy had regular walks and best time in their yard. She was well taken care of and we felt happy knowing she is in safe hands and well taken care of!! Highly recommend Amy and would board Jammy again with them :) :)”


“Anika and James were amazing dog sitters for our pup while we were away for a week long family vacation. From the initial communication and meet up until picking Hank up at the end of his stay, everything was easy with Anika - she’s a true pro. Hank was absolutely spoiled with lots of long walks, hikes and adventures and Anika sent multiple photos, videos and updates every day. Hank had an absolute blast with this family and their sweet pups and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you Anika and James for taking such good care of our boy and making him feel so welcome and loved!”


“We had an amazing experience with having Alyssa and Justin dog sit our reactive dog Ollie. We were feeling a bit worried about how he would handle the changes as he can be anxious. However, Alyssa and Justin clearly made Ollie feel at ease and at home! They took him on walks and off-leash plays and were so loving to Ollie that he thrived! I’m sure he considered it a nice little vacation! They also sent us updates, pictures and videos, which we greatly appreciated!”

Highly recommend Remi and Marie!”


“Jena & family did a fantastic job of looking after Khloe. She sent me pix and short videos of her playing (& snoozing) during her stay. She had a fantastic time. As with many, our pet is like our kid so want to be sure she's getting the absolute best care possible when we can't take her with us. She definitely got that. I've already booked her for a vacation in the summer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jena to anyone who wants the absolute best care for their fur baby.”

“Amelia and Thomas were great guardians for my border collie Seeka! They watched him for a few nights and gave me regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. Seeka seemed to get along great with their pup Biscuit as well. Amelia and Thomas were easy to communicate with and they made the whole process seamless.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve had dogs my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their behavior, needs, and personalities. In addition to raising my own pets, I’ve spent several years fostering dogs—helping them transition into loving forever homes while providing them with stability, training, and care. My experience also includes reliable pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to each dog’s routine and energy level. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a senior dog who just wants a little company, I provide compassionate, attentive care you can trust. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which means your dog will have plenty of opportunities to get outside throughout the day. On weekends, I may be in and out, but I’m never gone for long—your pup will still get lots of attention and outdoor time. Whether it’s a trip to the beach, a walk in the park, or playtime in the fenced yard, your dog will stay active, happy, and well cared for. I have a large fenced yard with currently no other animals in the home just three children that sometimes act like animals. I am experienced with senior and shy/anxious animals and can create a calm and loving environment for them. As well as younger pups that need to run. I'm open to both traditional and alternative medicine and able to follow prescribed treatments effectively. I accept dogs with or without crate. Whatever they are more comfortable with. Our cleaning products are pet-safe and non-toxic.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. I’ve cared for everything from playful pups to wise and gentle seniors, and I treat each one with the same love and respect I’d want for my own. Whether it's long walks, quiet companionship, or building trust with a new pup, I bring patience, experience, and a genuine love for animals to every moment. Our home is full of love and calm energy. Bella, our 2-year-old Staffy mix from the Humane Society, is friendly, well-socialized, and has a beautiful way of matching the energy of other dogs. She grew up on a farm with her littermates and larger dogs, so she’s respectful and easygoing. My 7-year-old daughter was raised alongside senior dogs and understands how to be gentle and kind with all animals. Over the years, I’ve supported crate training, puppy basics, and positive reinforcement, always with a focus on trust and comfort. We’ve welcomed everything from French Bulldogs to Dobermans into our lives, and we’d be honoured to care for your dog, whether it’s for a walk or a stay in our home. I currently work from home 100% of the time and take my pup out for a hike or play at a nearby park during lunch. Being at home all the time, I frequently take breaks for a quick cuddle and check-in, and we are out for another stroll after work hours. I am available most weekends, and if you are searching for daycare, you can drop off as early as 6:30 am. I have a fenced-in backyard and soon-to-be front yard, and my sweet pup Bella, to keep your pup company. I am happy to crate or approach your dog with the routine you follow to keep things as normal as possible.

Megan (and Joe) looked after my dog Dug who is the sweetest dog but comes with a lot of responsibility. Megan agreed to look after him very last minute because my dog needed extra care to manage his epileptic seizures. Dug stayed with Megan and her other 2 fur babies for 5 nights, gave his medication, took him to the beach a few times, and gave him lots of snuggles. Megan stayed in touch with me daily and sent pictures of my pup and what they were up to. Unfortunately on the last day, Dug did have a seizure at 4:20 am. Megan did everything I would do for Dug and we picked him up later that day. It looked like he recovered very well after a long nap and lots of food. Megan has made it possible for me to feel comfortable going on vacation and leaving Dug in her care. Thanks Megan and Joe!

Kristen always takes such great care of our Fergus, sending lots of photos and keeping us updated. She's always happy to see him and Fergus is always happy to visit, see her and her husband and their dog Lucy. This is the third time we've left him with them and we'd happily leave him again, knowing he's well loved and looked after. Highly recommend!

Kailynn was absolutely incredible with our Pom Roxy! She stayed with her for 5 nights at her place and we got daily photo updates. She gave Roxy all her meds and inhaler as instructed and also Roxy and her little dog got along wonderfully too! We're excited to use her again for any future stays.

Claire and her husband Steven are a wonderful and caring couple who provided excellent care to my old girl. They gave her so much love and cuddles and made her feel at home. My dog gets extremely anxious when she is away from home, but she immediately warmed up to Claire and Steven and settled in very quickly.

I had the pleasure of entrusting Alphinaud to Tanya, and I couldn't be more impressed. Despite the short notice, they accommodated us without hesitation, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Tanya to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate place for their furry friend. We will undoubtedly be returning in the future. Thank you for your outstanding service!

Matt and Sarah are absolutely amazing! They took such great care of our dog that, when I picked her up from their house after a week of them dog-sitting, my dog didn't seem all that excited to see me or to leave them! It was as if she had a 2nd family and home! It was really, really comforting knowing that our dog was so well taken care of while we were away. We received texts, pictures and videos of our dog snuggled up and sleeping on their legs (she's 90lbs!), even with one of their kids! She looked so content and happy, which put our minds at ease during our holiday. Thank you so much Matt and Sarah (and kids) for everything!
