“Daisy was great. I recommend her for a senior dog with additional care requirements due to age. My dog was happy and I could relax knowing my pup was in good care.”
“Patricha and Daniel were delightful! They took excellent care of my elderly, special needs dog and were super attentive and intuitive to his needs. Their communication was top notch and I felt at ease the entire time having my little one in their care! Luis came back to me super happy and healthy and evidencing excellent care. I cannot recommend them enough!”

About: Hi! My name is Tessa Jones, I am 24 years old and I’ve had dogs in my life for the past 20 years—they’ve truly become part of who I am. I currently have an 8-year-old Havanese who is playful, friendly, and gets along great with all dogs. I absolutely love being outdoors and especially enjoy walking dogs by the beach—it’s one of my favourite ways to bond with them and give them the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m also certified in dog first aid, so you can rest assured that your pet will be in safe hands. Whether you're looking for someone to help with regular walks or need reliable boarding, I’m excited to work with you and care for your furry friend like they’re my own. Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family—and I’m here to give them the love, attention, and adventure they deserve! Taking care of animals is my full time job right now! I am happy to discuss a schedule that would work for both of us. I have a large backyard for my dog to run around in as well as the beach close by. My little Havanese Sadie and I love to go to the beach by my house for a peaceful walk by the ocean. If not the beach, we enjoy visiting Carnarvan Park just down the road from our home.
“Chessie and Mac made themselves right at home at this fabulous fun pet retreat!! They like to help in the kitchen and with workouts too lol … as well as rest and relax. They enjoyed their walks despite Mac’s resistance to his harness lol (he detests it) …. Thank you Kevin and Kayla for having the dogs take care of you …. lol, sincerely thank you for taking such great care of the pups, the updates and pics, great communication and an ability to be flexible when the plan changed. We appreciate you so much and felt safe and secure knowing the pups were in good hands!! We will definitely be looking them up again next time we are in town. FIVE STARS ⭐️🐶⭐️🐶⭐️🐶⭐️🐶⭐️”
“This entire family was absolutely amazing with my dog Nora and spoiled her with so much attention. I really appreciate the frequent updates and photos they sent as well.”
“Really friendly and communicative! Took great care of Buster. He has a beautiful back yard garden with a fenced in area for off leash time at home. Took him out for a nature walk and let him have some couch time! Really appreciate it!!! Thank you!!!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Chris and Amy were fantastic! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They loved Lucas and I think the feeling was mutual! Lucas was very well cared for and had a great time. Chris and Amy were great with providing updates too. We’ll certainly book with them again. Thanks, Chris and Amy!”
“We wanted to provide a review for Kendall who looked after our 10 yr old rescue Chihuahua Lucy. She was amazing at putting us and Lucy at ease. We had literally only travelled to places where we could take Lucy because she is so nervous and has such high needs. Kendall was quick to suggest a meet and greet prior to us agreeing to leave her for our first weekend away in years. Kendall really understood our concerns and graciously accepted all of the requirements of caring for our nervous, older dog. No jumping off the couch, she eats 3 times a day, special food and preparation, regular bathroom breaks. Medicine if and coughs, she usually sleeps on the bed with own large fluffy blanket (we brought her ramp, her kennel, her chair, her stuffy and several blankets). Although Lucy was nervous when we first left, each of Kendall’s many updates with pictures and text showed our little Lucy becoming ever more comfortable. Ultimately with her accepting cuddles and happily snoozing next to Kendall. We were delighted that Lucy seems to have bonded so well with Kendall’s calm, caring and attentive disposition. Definitely a 5 star review, and we would not hesitate to use Kendall again or recommend her services.”
“Marlisa is amazing and took very great care of Nikko! She communicated with us and even though Nikko had some difficulty transitioning to a new environment, Marlisa was patient and found ways to help Nikko settle in. We highly recommend Marlisa and would definitely use her again.”
“She was great! Bella was so so happy!!”
“Emilie was a wonderful pet sitter for our golden Ella. We knew Ella was safe and cared for, and Ella had a wonderful time being welcomed into their family. Lots of walks and lots of photos sent to us along the way!”
“Maria was a wonderful sitter for our dog Paulo. She was responsive, had great communication, and sent updates and pictures during the stay. Would definitely book her again.”
“Denise is a very confident and competent sitter. You can tell that she loves dogs and spends a lot of time with them. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with her while we were away and she sent me lots of updates and photos while we were away. Our dog takes medication twice a day and she administered this with no problems. Thank you!”
“Alisa was great! We felt out dog was very well cared for and looked like he had a great time, fron the photos that were shared. We recommend Alisa and she would be our first thought when needing someone to care for our dog in the future.”
“Sandeep is an amazing person, trustworthy and very responsible. During the day he sent me pictures and was very attentive. For me it was difficult because it was the first time I gave someone my dog Kira who means the world to me, but Sandeep gave me calm since I gave Kira to him, I knew she was going to be in good hands and she was! Thank you Sandeep for your amazing service, I would definitely book again.”

“I recently had Tessa look after my dog Rusty, and my home, while I went away. She is mature, responsible and very caring. As a rescue, Rusty is not the most friendly to strangers and has big anxiety issues and she handled that with understanding and compassion. I will be securing Tessa again next month and would highly recommend her as a sitter for your dog. I have already referred her to my neighbours!”
