We will be requesting their service again. Thank you Amy and David.”

“Victoria took very good care of our dog Rosie for a week in February. She was flexible and responsive in all aspects of Rosie's visit. Rosie can take a bit of time to warm up to new people, but relaxed immediately with Victoria. With regular updates on how things were going during the week, I was fully confident Rosie was happy and well taken care of. Victoria had Rosie out for big walks and visits to parks many times during the week. I would highly recommend Victoria, and plan to use her again in the future.”
“Carolina was amazing. Since the beginning we felt that our dog will have a great time with her. She was so reliable and did exactly what we ask for and much more. She sent us photos and videos. When we returned from our trip, Tucker was happy and looks healthy. Thank you!!! Carolina, also because you took care one day more for Tucker when we could not get the return flight on the planned day. That was really a big help and a peace of mind for us. We will look forward to booking again your services. Lilian”

Laura was absolutely amazing in taking care of Koti. She accommodated an early morning drop off, sent me pictures throughout their time together, showed her a lot of love and kept her well exercised (she was very tired coming home). Would absolutely book with Laura again for any future needs!
A Tail-Wagging Thank You! 🐾 Christopher did an amazing job watching my dog! From start to finish, everything was smooth and easy. I felt totally at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. When I got back, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief to have someone you can count on who genuinely connects with your pet and keeps their routine going strong. I really appreciated the updates and knowing things were going well while I was away. Big thanks to Christopher, I highly recommend if you're looking for someone dependable and great with dogs!
Trish was absolutely great with our dog Busky. We were kept updated on his stay as we had requested. He had great walks in the mornings and afternoons and never missed out on a chance to snuggle on the couch of the bed. She will definitely be our choice for our future boarding option. Thank you Trish! Busky will miss the time with you I am sure.
Fully recommend Spencer & Amelia! They provided a cozy home environment, plenty of great exercise and took care of our pup like she was part of their family. We received updates and communication lines were always open. Spencer’s expertise with dogs showed as our dog was introduced to theirs which gave us great peace of mind. Thanks again!
We had a great experience with Shawna and family. They were very attentive, provided regular updates/pictures, and were flexible with pickup/dropoff. We were able to enjoy our vacation without the usual guilt because we knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Olivia did a wonderful job with Jasper. He is an older dog so he needs a patient person who is kind. Olivia showed that she was interested in Jasper and asked about his usual routine. She got him to eat regularly which he doesn't always do when he is left with someone for a few days. I recommend Olivia, Jasper had a great experience with her!
Jeff was fantastic with our dog, Astro. First time using rover with Jeff and we would 100% again with Jeff as he was great at keeping us up to date and informed of Astros well being. Took Astro for lots of walks! Jeff was very informative! Thanks so much for making this an easy process and keeping us well aware of our pup!
I cannot recommend Carolina enough!! My pup had such a great time staying with Carolina and Arthur. The photos and videos put me totally at ease while I was out of province for a few days. Carolina is so dedicated to the wellbeing of the pups and cares for them so well. She had little enrichment games made for them and took Mira for walks and to the park. It made me so happy. Again- highly highly recommend her boarding service!
