“Pamela is a wonderful caregiver who looks after Ricky like one of her own. She is very knowledgeable in cat care and gives me good advice on how to look after Ricky better as well.”
“Katrina, Ryan, and Rocky made leaving Artemis for a week a breeze! Even as an only dog at home, it was nice to have another one to show him the ropes. I appreciated the pictures and updates. He was happy to see me at pick up but also wanted both of us to stay! I'd happily board him with them again”
“This was the first time I left my dog in the care of anyone outside of our immediate family. I had visited a few kennels when I was looking at boarding my dog and it was not exactly the kind of environment I was looking for, it was very institutional like, despite understanding why it needed to be that way. I wanted my dog to thrive while outside our home and have new experiences that would not be typical in her everyday and she got that and more. Colton is very committed to the dogs in his care. His dog Emma is lovely and has learned to share her dad which is not always easy. My dog Charlie had the pleasure of playing with multiple dogs during her stay which I did not expect but was happy she was exposed to multiple dogs at a time. I loved she was in a home away from home. I loved that an area in the house was dedicated exclusively to the dogs, sofas, soft toys, chew toys and plenty of water, and supervision and engagement by Colton. His daily video updates were welcomed and appreciated and I shared them with each member of my immediate family so they could see our beloved Charlie was thriving. We were very happy to pick her up. We missed her a lot. She came home happy, healthy and maybe a little tired from the experience 😉 I would highly recommend Colton if you are looking for an honest, straightforward, down to earth person who actually cares about what he is doing. Thank you Colton! 🤗🤗”
“Casey and his wife are unreal. I left my 13 year old frenchie in their hands for almost 3 weeks while I was on vacation in Japan. They took such great care of him! He even seems to have better mobility now and appears much happier! Thank you Casey!!!!”
“Stacey and her family were amazing! We felt so at ease leaving Sputten with them for the week. What we loved most was the daily updates and photos. They brought so much joy and comfort as we watched him playing with other dogs and cuddling up. Knowing he was happy and safe allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We were super impressed with Stacey’s ability to replace Sputten’s eye drops when the container got damaged and thought she went above and beyond washing his bed upon our return. We will definitely be booking with Stacey again in the future!”
“Holli was so wonderful with my 10-year-old rescue dog Cubby! We had a lovely meet and greet, and I booked for one overnight before I will be away for a week as my pup is older and a bit sensitive. Will be booking with her again asap! She has an amazing fenced in yard, sent great updates, and administered my dog's meds. Was looking for a boarder who would be home a lot and had calm, caring energy - and Holli was the perfect fit. Cubby was happy as a clam when I picked her up :)”
“Ranjha loved staying with Rufana! For a high energy dog, she made sure he got lots of exercise as well as cuddles! Rufana was consistent with updates which always makes us feel better! Would definitely take Ranjha back.”
“Olena and her partner did an amazing job watching our cat! They updated us with pictures and cute stories which made us feel so comfortable being away. I'd highly recommend them!”
“Ben was fantastic, and his price is reasonable… if it stays that way, I will definitely use him again in the future! It’s more reasonable than most prices that are listed. We are both happy! Libby seems to have had had a great time with him :) thanks Ben!”
“Vanessa and her family were awesome with my dog Kugi! Lots of great updates and plenty of love and attention for Kugi. I could tell Kugi had her own vacation while we were away in ours!”
“Thanks so much, Jill, for taking care of Giuseppe. He is very happy and relaxed, and he looks very good. Thanks for taking such good care of him, for all the photos, and for the extra help with his food.. Thanks again! 😊”
“Renee was very quick to respond to our last minute booking request and was very accommodating. We were able to leave our 12 week old Isla with peace of mind that she was in capable hands (complete with all the puppy biting and not fully house trained yet). Daily photo and even a video update was great to see!! Wouldn't hesitate to have her look after our baby again!”
“Wow, Murray and Patricia looked after my little darling like she was one of their own. I got daily pictures and updates, and my pup looked completely at ease. This is the first time I've used them, but I will DEFINITELY use them again if the need arises. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone needing a loving home for their pet while they're away. Thank you Murray and Patricia!”
“I would recommend Jenna-Lee without hesitation! We left our dog with Jenna-Lee and her lovely family for almost a month, and he was very much loved and well taken care of. It can be stressful to leave your pet with anyone new, but rest assured, your stress is not needed here! We received pictures and messages everyday, and Jenna-Lee was very diligent at following our feeding instructions. We feel so lucky to have found her. Not sure our dog wanted to come home 😊.”
“Xavier sends the cutest photos and videos of our pet while she is in his care. His kindness and caring nature is evident in his interactions with her, allow us to feel comfortable boarding her with him while we're away. Thank you, Xavier!”
“Our 13 years old Miniature Schnauzer stayed with Heather for 6 nights. The communication was excellent, we received numerous great pictures of our pup for the full duration of the stay. Our dog requires constant medication and a sensitive diet and she was great for all of it, we would highly recommend boarding with Heather. We booked another date on the same day we picked him up.”
“Vanessa gave Marco such a fantastic staycation while we were in the city for medical reasons. He was well loved and cared for at her home. Would definitely book here again when we return in the future.”
“Was so happy to find her on here , she was a wonderful caring woman who treated our baby like her own . Was provided lots of daily photos and updates . Would recommend her !”

Ana is the best. She’s watched our babies a couple times but this was the longest while we were away on vacation. She is an excellent communicator and let us know right away if anything was even a little bit off with them and sent photos, videos and daily updates. We are so grateful so have found you, Ana! You are the best!!
Judy was amazing and so caring, my golden retriever really enjoys his time with her and her pup! She was attentive to his medical needs and very interactive with them. Judy accommodated up when we needed lay minute care and we so grateful. I trust her totally with my fur baby ! Highly recommend 😊
Rufana was amazing! She took our dog Stew without meeting him first as we were passing through Edmonton. Rufana was extremely flexible with drop of times as our itinerary changed a few times. While our dog Stew was in her care, we received photos and videos. She is highly recommended.
Marie is an exceptional dog caregiver! My dogs love her and love being with her and their buddies who are with her. They love their walks with her and she takes them for long walks too. Her heart is for the safety and care of the dogs she looks after, and she is so capable in handling a myriad of situations. She is so astute about reading situations, having safety measures and creative solutions in place before they may be needed, and she ensures all dogs get personalized time and love. Her home is designed for different safe groupings of dogs as needed as well as for their comfort and fun. For example, her living room can be turned into a haven of cushions and dog toys for their napping and playtime. She has carefully and dependably helped Chili and Pepper with different care treatments (e.g. a variety of medications including for hotspots and after surgery). My dogs are mini dachshunds, and Marie is very careful with their backs. You can depend on Marie to look after your dogs with a regular schedule also! If you enjoy receiving pictures about your dog’s day, Marie is the GOAT. No one I am aware of sends as many pictures and videos as Marie. She is also a very skilled photographer. I have received so many precious pictures and memories from her while they are with their Mama Marie. I consider myself blessed to be able to know Marie. She is such a smart, kindhearted, super capable person. I do not see how I would have made my flight to see my parent in time without her help. I am so grateful for all of Marie’s help and care of my dogs during their most recent stay with her. Rover is so lucky to have Marie as one of their dog caregivers!
Yasmin was very kind and very nice to me and my dog. Bailey, my dog was comfortable with her the whole time, and Yasmin kept in touch sending photos to ensure my dog was doing well. I would definitely ask for her service again, and I highly recommend her. Thank you Yas!
My dog was in such good hands with Courtnie! I would definitely recommend her and would happily rebook with her again. I really appreciated the daily updates and the genuine care and affection she showed toward my dog. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was well taken care of!

Casey and his wife were absolutely lovely and I’m incredibly grateful for how well they took care of my 10 year old rescue pup cubby - they were so kind and patient with her since she’s a bit anxious, and cubby settled in with them quickly and loved her tummy rubs and nice long walks. Will definitely book again and regularly!
I had such a great experience with Jennifer. I sent her a very long message with all the little details and instructions about my dog, and she was so sweet, understanding, and accommodating about everything. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated him with so much love. I really appreciated how patient and reassuring she was throughout the whole experience. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! ❤️🐾**
