“Shelley was so caring with our pup! She gave him time and space to settle in to the new environment and other dogs, and kept us updated on his progress with messages and photos. We were able to relax knowing he was in very good care.”
“Arlene and Kevin lovingly cared for Moxie for her almost once week stay. Communication was great throughout and they made sure her activity needs were met, despite the heatwave. She got lots of cuddles and came home happy. We look forward to booking again in the future. Thanks again!”
“Our pup Beth had the best time with Shannon! Thank you Shannon for taking such good care of Beth and for sending us so many photos and updates! It was such a comfort to know Beth was in such good hands.”
“Thank you Stephanie for taking such good care of Timmie despite all his whining! Loved that you kept me informed and sent pictures. It was such a relief knowing he was well cared for that I could enjoy my day without worry! I will be booking again when I have to be away for the day!”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“Erin and Chad were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Aspen. They took such great care of her overnight, kept me updated with photos, and made sure she was comfortable even though she can be an anxious pup! Kind, dependable, and clearly dog lovers!! I couldn’t have asked for better sitters! Thank you both 🐕”
“Suzie is very comfortable with Melissa and enjoys going there. Melissa takes Suzie for a couple of walks daily. We have total confidence in Melissa looking after Suzie. I would highly recommend using Melissa.”
“Bego provided excellent dog boarding service! Tanner was completely happy and when returning home did so without skipping a beat. This tells us that our pup was totally relaxed while holidaying at Bego's home. Thanks Bego for providing such a nice experience for us all. K & J”
“Emmi was amazing with my puppy! She kept me updated with photos and check ins the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took him to the dog park, made sure he was well cared for, and it was obvious he had a great time with her. Our puppy came home happy and well loved. I would absolutely book with Emmi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Roxy! We loved all the updates and photos and videos! It was amazing that you were able to take her for a car ride and a hike! We will definitely call you next time we go away. Thanks again! She had a great weekend with you! 😁”
“Nicolette was great with my 15 month old Portuguese Water Dog. He's a good size active breed so finding someone willing to board him in their home is a bit rare. She was thorough and kind and asked very good questions to get to know us. Kingston had a chance to run around in her backyard prior to the boarding which really helped him get comfortable. My boy doesn't love being alone and is very much a velcro dog. Nicolette provided pictures and updates and when I picked him up he was happy as could be. Thanks Nicolette!”
“Pei was excellent with Maggie Mae! She asked a lot of questions about her commands and habits, reinforced her training, introduced her to some new things (roosters!), and ensured that she got both lots of exercise and lots of snuggles. Maggie Mae loved playing with her Burmese Mountain Dog Oscar. Pei provided regular detailed updates and was fast on communication. Pei's house is definitely one of Maggie Mae's new favourite places and we will certainly rebook with Pei.”
“We had Rusty stay with Wendy and Ian for 12 days. I can't say enough great things about them. Best word ever "Awesome " They walked Rusty everyday, sent pictures, made cute comments. They never for one minute made us feel uncomfortable leaving him with them. He was happy to see us but I'm sure disappointed in leaving them. I highly recommend them to anyone. Rest assured you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Wendy and Ian for all that you did. Until next time.😄🐶”
“Meatball had a great time again! We really love how easy going and willing he is to take meatball. We often get told he’s a lot of work. John always takes him with either a weeks notice or a days notice. He handles him so well and always says what a breeze meatball is. He is also good at working with him with meatball being aggressive to other animals, he keeps a close eye out for other animals when he takes him for his walks. We really do truly appreciate John!”
“Our dogs spent two weeks with Jean and we were at ease knowing they were in good hands. We loved getting pics/updates about how they were doing. Jean has an awesome fenced in backyard for them to run around and play with other dogs.”
“I would have to give Camilla a 5/5 because she took wonderful care of my Lulu. Lulu was happy their and she did not come back traumatized. She is a natural with animals and also she has a kind and gentle spirit. I would 100 percent use her again when I will be going away. God Bless You Camilla for your kindness to animals and to me also. I never worried about Lulu! You were God sent. Thank you so much for the gift that you have with animals.”
“We left our dog (2.5 years) and puppy (6.5 months) with Allison and Scott while we left on vacation for 6 days and they were wonderful to deal with from start to finish! We received lots of photos and video updates throughout their stay and they clearly had a fantastic time :) we came home to some very sleepy and happy dogs! Allison and Scott treated our gals like they were their own and we would definitely recommend them to others.”
“We’ve left Jess with Banff a couple of times and he always enjoys his stay. He has loads of fun! Our boy is always happy because of how caring Jess is with him. We appreciate her attentiveness and how trustworthy she is. Thank you Jess for always caring for our Banff. We appreciate you!”

Thank you, Shannon for taking care of our boy Jax! It was great to see photos of him, enjoying his stay with you, and we can tell he was very happy! Of course this makes us very happy while we are away, knowing that he is in good hands. Thank you again. We are extremely grateful for your service! Rod and Michelle.
My dogs adapted to Jennifer and her family extremely well. With regular walks, playtime, and lots of TLC the dogs were very happy including our one that has separation anxiety. I would not hesitate to book with Jennifer again unless you are worried the dogs won’t want to leave Jennifer’s house like I was.
John has looked after our dog Bear several times. Bear is a little anxious, but he is always happy to stay with John and I know he is well cared for. I also appreciate John's timely communication and flexibility. I know we will be leaving Bear with him again in the future!
Carly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Toby! From the start, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was caring, reliable, and treated him like family. We loved getting updates and could tell Toby was happy, relaxed, and well looked after the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Carly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!! Toby had such a blast and is currently catching up on some sleep! Thank you, Carly!!
Kathryn and her daughters were amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with her and she made us feel so comfortable with regular photos and updates. It looked like Murphy was in great care, had a blast and loved spending time with them and their dog! We will definitely be asking Kathryn to watch Murphy again!
Jyll and Cannon had the best time together. I was so appreciative of how genuinely caring she was and always keeping in touch giving updates. Jyll has a lot of experience with dogs and it is very evident with how confident and nurturing she is. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Olenka & Joseph; Thank you so much for taking such good care of Dahlia! She had an excellent time staying at your place and enjoyed every minute, especially play-time! The daily photos were appreciated as we could see how much fun she was having. We will recommend your dog-sitting services to our family and friends.
I am extremely happy that we chose Arlene and Kevin to watch Roman for the weekend. They were both very attentive and loving to his needs and Roman took to them immediately. When picking him up, he was relaxed and you could tell he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Arlene and Kevin and hopefully they will be available for us next time. Thank you!
Shelley is the best pet sitter ever - I have a senior (18 year old dog) that requires a lot of care, and Shelley does a wonderful job every time. He gets lots of supervised play time in the backyard, lots of love, is well fed, and is always super clean when I pick him up. It eases a lot of stress knowing that my dog is so well taken care of when I am away, especially given his age!
