“Bear had a wonderful stay with Beverly. Beverly was kind, responsive and the perfect match for Bear. She was extremely helpful and prepared for our dog's stay. Beverly's home is well appointed for dogs, with proper fencing and many walking trails nearby. We will definitely be booking with Beverly again.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Jean taking care of my puppy, Bean! She was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure Bean was comfortable, happy, and well-engaged. It was reassuring to receive updates and photos throughout the day, which showed just how much fun Bean was having. Her professionalism and love for dogs truly shone through. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her services to any pet owner!”

“Kim and her family were amazing. Our dog was treated with care and as a member of their family. We were kept up to date with how he was adjusting and feel she went above and beyond in her care for our dog. Will definitely be using her again. We finally found a safe haven for our dog when we go away.”

About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.

“We can’t thank the Kristen and Shady enough for the amazing care they provided Ollie during our trip! They welcomed him into their home with such warmth and kindness, treating him like one of their own. When we picked him up, Ollie looked so happy and pleasantly tired, a clear sign he had a fantastic time filled with play and affection. Their attentiveness and love for animals gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for their generosity and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you for making Ollie’s stay so special!”

“Laura and her family were wonderful. They took Gryphon in over the holidays at a stressful time, for a dog who can be a bit unsure of unfamiliar surroundings and made him feel part of the family; safe and loved. We are so grateful to everything you did and will definitely have him back to stay!”

About: I’ve had animals in my home for as long as I can remember and understand that pets are family. With over 20 years of professional caregiving experience, providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care comes naturally to me. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and affection, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, and pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve always had pets in my home and have years of hands-on experience providing loving, reliable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I understand the importance of consistency and will care for your pet as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced yard in the country but will also provide two walks a day and lots of playtime. Our pets are our family and it gives me joy to give them new experiences and bring them with me on adventures. All within the comfort levels of their parents of course.

About: I am a young professional looking for a fun way to engage with some pets as I am unable at this time to have my own. As my full time job keeps me at a desk indoors, this will be great for me, as well as the pups, to burn off some energy! I have grown up with pets my whole life, raising and training puppies specifically (labs and golden retrievers mainly). I don't shy away from mischievous little ones or big energetic dogs. I appreciate their energy, playfullness and demeanor no matter the circumstance. Some days are just too much for us humans to handle one more thing, so I'm happy to help. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur babies with the same love you have for them! I currently work full time remotely which offers me flexibility within my schedule to accomplish other tasks. I enjoy taking breaks and getting out in my community as much as possible. I am flexibile to care for your pet however directed by you, the owner! You know your fur babies best. I have grown up training puppies, both with crates and without so I have experience in a variety of settings. I am attentive to how varied a dogs needs can be and am eager to learn more about your pup.

“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”
