“My pup had such a great time with Kim! It's clear that she treats dogs like family in her home, and I'm so grateful to her for the love and care she showed my little guy. Kim sent photos and videos of Ozzy throughout the day so I could see how he was doing. I can't recommend Kim enough! Thanks again and Ozzy will definitely be back :)”

“Amy was great to book with and made it easy for me as I was visiting from out of town! She was able to accommodate a last minute daycare booking so I could go fishing with my Dad.

“Marcy is a TREASURE!! I left my 13-month old giant breed puppy with her for the day and he had an amazing time. I knew as soon as Marcy and I met that he would be in fantastic hands, and I couldn't have been more right! When we arrived, Gilly went straight in to Marcy's house, fully confident and happy. I highly recommend her!”
“Superb dog daycare! We have a challenging dog, and on short notice Kelly & Natalie were able to set up a meet and greet where I was put at ease as I watched how good they were with my doggo and as Kelly walked me through their set-up and past experience, both of which suited the rather special needs of my reactive dog. Communication was excellent and I appreciated being asked about whether certain treats were ok before they were given. We've also received some amazing photos that will go in our regular album rotation. Recommended!”

About: I have a 1 year old Duck Toller who is a lot of fun and very energetic. My family has had a dog ever since I was 8 years old. We have had a Golden Retriever and a Golden Doodle. Both dogs were medium to large sized. I work from home all days of the week and am available on occasional weekends. I am able to check in on your home and pet during the day and can go on short walks throughout the day with a long walk before work, during lunch time and after work! I am able to host well behaved dogs that are friendly with other dogs and get along with my Duck Toller which we can confirm with a meet up before hand. I work fully from home with a flexible schedule, so I can do check-ins and take your animal for walks. I also go for lots of walks and runs and love companions during those adventures I have a fenced in yard and a dog at home that loves to play with other dogs. I have lots of dog equipment including a pen, crate, extra bowls and toys if needed.
“Loki absolutely loves his walks with you and it is a great help for me right now. I think he had found a real friend and I am happy that you know the stubborn little Scotties well:)”
“Jayden greeted us - especially Ladybug with lovely welcoming energy. She got down low to gently greet Ladybug and allowed her to sniff all around to feel comfortable. Ladybug was happy and calm when my husband picked her up - to me this is a great sign that she was comfortable and happy with Jayden. Thank-you Jayden for your kindness for our wee senior Shih Tzu. So nice to know we have a safe, comfortable place for our sweetie to hang out when we go to places doggos aren't allowed.”

Lauren was absolutely wonderful in ensuring that our tea cup yorkie was cared for the entire day. She sent us photo updates and was very clear in the type of care Lily would have. We have nothing but positive things to say and would not hesitate to book again. Thanks Lauren!
Kim is a kind person with a calm energy, and a true dog lover. She adapted her day to meet the needs of my girl, who was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Kim also happily did a meet & greet beforehand, which I appreciated. We look forward to booking with Kim again in the future!
Coraline and Valentin are very calm and gave Freya the space she needed to get to know them at her own pace. They did a thorough meet & greet and asked lots of questions to make sure they knew her needs. They have a nice deck that Freya enjoyed relaxing on. Thank you!
