“Trudy took excellent care of our lab, Reece! She was an excellent communicator and sent us pictures of their adventures every day. Reece came home super tired, just the way we love her :) ! She can’t wait to go back to Trudy’s house to play with her new buddies. Thanks Trudy!”
“Suzanne and Adrian were the best host for our dog. Our dog chewed its leash but they were kind enough to get a replacement and a bonus toy :-). They were great in accommodating our last minute request and they were sure to give us heads up and updates of our dog every day. Keep up good job S&A”
About: Hey! I’ve had pets in my home my whole life (from hamsters to large breed dogs). My family fostered animals from the Ottawa Humane Society for 10 plus years. I have experience with all kids of fur babies :) I work from home Monday-Friday so I have lots of flexibilty. I live in a quiet community perfect for dog walks, and have a yard for supervised potty breaks. My home is very pet friendly. I have no issues with pet hair on furniture or the occasional mess. I have my own three legged kitty who is dog friendly. I love to give affection to pets and allow them on my furniture.
“We felt very comfortable leaving Raven at Cindy’s. We will definitely rebook next time we need to go out of town. Cindy’s dogs were also very friendly and Raven returned home completely out of energy from playing so much. Highly recommended.”
“Cristina was amazing and put me at ease leave my boys with her while I was gone for the holidays. They seemed to have a good time with her. I would definitely book again with her!”
“Melissa watched our two large dogs for the second time! She is great to message with and very accommodating! She navigates the dogs well and provides updates when needed! We will continue to use melissa- great care!”
“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Nicole and Eddie were wonderful with Daisy. They gave her lots of loving attention, took her on many walks with their dog, Keyser. They also took her to the pet store and had other activities planned for her during her stay. Keyser and Daisy get along well and are a good match for each other. We felt very confident leaving Daisy with Nicole and Eddie while we were on vacation, and loved the photos they sent us showing Daisy was having lots of fun.”
“As always, Timon had a wonderful time at Lynda’s place. She kept us updated with photos and videos of him playing with other pups. We’re so glad to have Lynda, leaving Timon with her gives us complete peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for.”
“Hui was absolutely amazing with our little dog Gupie! She was very attentive to his needs as he has arthritis and can be a shy dog. She constantly gave us updates on his daily activities and sent us many videos and pictures of him living life! We felt so comfortable leaving Gupie with her and will definitely be contacting Hui again! We 100% recommend Hui.”
“Ashley treated Rooster like family the minute she met him. Her communication, understanding, flexibility and professional is top tier! She saved us when we were in a pinch and made Rooster feel right at home! Thank you!”
“Very pleased with Chico’s first visit. It was a great setting with no other dogs and a caring family who treated him like he was their own! The kids tired him out, loved his kisses and Daniel and Sarah kept us updated with photos and notes. We rebooked immediately after picking him up from his 1st visit.”
“I can’t recommend Lei enough! We started with a meet and greet near her place at the park. She was calm and super friendly. She asked all the right questions regarding my pup - what he likes, doesn’t like, his schedules, routines etc - all questions that indicate that she has his best interest at heart. Throughout my pup’s stay, she sent an abundance of updates with pictures. Ollie seemed super comfortable and well taken care of. So much so that I can tell he misses her now that he’s home with us! I will be picking Lei every single time from this point forward.”
“Jacqueline and Jamie are exceptional care givers. They not only gave our doodle a lot of love but also helped curb some bad habits. Their attention to detail and analysis of canine needs was exceptional. We received multiple pictures, videos and narratives on a daily basis. Communication skills were outstanding. Our boy received many walks and play times with his dog pack companions and was kept well groomed with occasional wash-ups required after some frolicking in the mud. My wife and I and our doodle are very happy customers and wish we could award 6 instead of just 5 Stars. We highly recommend Jacqueline and Jamie.”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“Abbie had a wonderful time with Sylvie, their family and dog. We got frequent updates with great pictures and videos of Abbie in the house and on long walks. It was evident that Abbie was very well taken care of. We whole heartedly recommend Sylvie to take care of your dog, and we will for sure board Abbie with Sylvie again.”
“She’s awesome. She goes above and beyond. She went on so many adventures with our dog. And that’s what we appreciate the most- we wanna see our dog forming memories as much as we do. Thanks for everything!”
“One of the best experiences we had in terms of boarding. Our dog stayed with Akanksha for 1 night and it was great. She kept sending us updates and Pablo looked very happy. Definitely recommended”

Would highly recommend Trudy to anyone looking for someone to look after there fur baby”
About: When I was 10 years old, I welcomed a beautiful chocolate lab pup into my home. She was my best friend until she passed away in September of 2025. Since her passing, I have felt a void in caring for and loving dogs. I work as a Bylaw enforcement officer in the City of Ottawa and work extensively with dogs, cats, and wildlife. Through my work experience I have met and cared for hundreds of different dogs with their own unique personalities and behaviours. Considering my personal life and work experience, I think potential clients and I would mutually benefit from me caring for and looking after their dogs. I work shift work on a staggered schedule, with my primary shifts being 6am until 5pm, and 3pm until 2am. I have several weekdays off when most people work, which is opportune for me to take care of their animals when needed. As a dog owner for 13 years, I learned how to make my pet comfortable, loved, and adapted to her needs. Through my work experience, this is has been strengthened further through interacting with dogs and animals that I did not previously know. I’m compassionate towards my love of dogs and I would love to care for and interact with more.
“When we met Kimberly for a meet and greet we felt comfortable instantly. You could tell she is very caring and loved our cats and our cats loved her. She was professional, reliable and kept the house and our pet areas just like we left them. We highly recommend her”
“Jenna took fantastic care of our 2 cats and she provided a bunch of photos during her visit! Super easy to communicate key drop off and collection aswell as a meet and greet before booking with her. I would strongly recommend Jenna as a pet sitter and we will be booking with her in the future too!”
About: 🐱I adore the company of our feline friends and seek to create a purr-fectly comfortable space for them. I grew up with a cat of my own and with my background in nannying and a love for following care instructions, your cat is in capable and caring hands.
About: Hi, I'm April! I've been a dog and cat Mom for over 15 years. My husband and I rescue senior smaller dogs as well as foster for Marshall's Dog Rescue and CCRT Canadian Chihuahua Rescue and Transport. I have a ton of experience with medication, injections as well as special needs. My goal is to always make sure whatever animal I am currently looking after that they feel loved and safe. I am the pack leader and even if an animal has behavioral issues, I can deal with whatever is thrown at me. I look forward to working with you and building a positive, trusting relationship. I have references if you are interested. Thanks so much and give all your fur babies some love from me :)
About: I have owned dogs all of my life, and I have had the privilege to also take care of other people's furry loved ones since I was very young. From dogs and cats, to guinea pigs and rats, and even horses and donkeys, I have been lucky enough to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I am a devoted animal lover at heart, and always look for ways to incorporate more furbabies into my life! I have extensive experience with client services such as dog walking, dog grooming, dog/cat boarding, and animal socialization. My furdaughter Rosie Posey, is a very sassy but sweet little Corgi, that demands the utmost attention and care, so I am no stranger to dogs with high needs and spirited personalities! Rosie is itching to make new fur-friends and would love to welcome new pupper and kitter pals to our humble home (sharing only the best toys and spots to play at the parks around the neighborhood). I am equipped and happy to handle puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs or particular requirements. As a service standard, I guarantee that your furbaby will have 1 on 1 attention, oodles of social time, extensive exercise, and constant care. I also provide regular photo and video updates, because you deserve peace of mind, and your furbaby deserves a great time! I am lucky enough to work entirely from home, and only 4 days a week (Tuesday-Friday). This affords me wonderful work/life balance, and the flexibility to be there for your furbaby always, taking multiple park, walk, and play breaks throughout the day. As a daily standard, Rosie and I will visit our neighborhood park at least twice a day to socialize and play, on top of going on several walks in between, and playing at home. Calling the Glebe home, I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful, safe, and animal friendly neighborhoods in the city. Though I live in a one-bedroom apartment on the 8th floor of a small high-rise, my home is very cozy and welcoming (especially for dogs and cats!). I have a beautiful outdoor balcony space with a wonderful view for furpals to relax on, and a spacious indoor area with multiple dog beds, lots of dog toys, and a pet friendly couch and king bed (I have a corgi-approved ramp for access). Your furbabies will feel right at home with Rosie and have a pal to play and lounge with at all times. Additionally, my neighbourhood is surrounded by safe walking paths, and extensive green park spaces, featuring multiple dog parks within a few minutes walk, and a very friendly dog community (Rosie will make the proper introductions to her best pals). Rest-assured that your furbaby will be in a stimulating, yet safe environment, and get lots of exercise and social time!
“Alecia took wonderful care of my cats! She was friendly and considerate and kept me informed about how it was going. I loved seeing pictures at each check in and was amazed at how my shy boy even warmed up to her. I would absolutely recommend Alecia and would rebook her without hesitation!”
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, I started within my own household and once I was old enough I started dog walking after school, into adulthood I have taken my fair share of dog sitting jobs and walking when I have had the chance. I have some spare time now that I’d like to fill with surrounding myself with animals again. I work part time, and on my days off I’m looking for a Job that brings me happiness, so no better way than surrounding myself with fur babies and helping support them when their parents are busy. I will care for your pet as if it were my own, animals have a very special place in my heart and they deserve the best care possible.
About: I’ve been house and pet-sitting since I was 16. Always making sure my friends and family can step away with zero stress and their fur babies are the star of the show! I’ve taken care of small to medium sized mostly, but large dogs a few times. No matter where I go, pets gravitate towards me! My schedule is very flexible and I have great knowledge of the city with reliable transportation. I play sports in the evening a few days a week but nothing that can’t be worked around I will ensure I study the area my clients live in and discuss the areas and routines your pets are accustomed to. Also, the type words they respond to. I always want to ensure they will feel safe and comfortable.
“Un de nos chiens est très vieux et j’avais quelques craintes de partir de la maison. Alys-Mia a été formidable! Elle nous a tenu au courant lors de ses visites (photos/messages) et a pris en considération les différents besoins de Théo et de Gustave. Nous ne pouvions demander mieux et nous avons pu profiter de notre escapade l’esprit en paix. Merci Alys-Mia!”
About: Hello, my name is Shanna. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have been asked by many friends and family over the years to pet sit for them while they are away and have always enjoyed it. I would treat your pet as my own and have a total appreciation for how you would expect your babies to be loved and cared for during the the times you can't. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I currently work 9-4 during week days, with weekends off. I do morning and evening walks during work days. If your dog is used to work hours, I would be with them morning, night and weekends. I currently have one other dog in my home. If your dog is comfortable with other animals and having me take your dog as opposed to house sit at your place, I have a fenced in yard perfect for it.
About: I offer services in West Ottawa area and Barrhaven. I have travelled as a pet sitter in Ontario, Alberta, BC and Colorado. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, crabs, fish, and frogs. House plants are great too I live in Stittsville, West Ottawa. I work 9-5 remotely so I love to travel within Canada. My work is flexible so I am able to walk your dogs around their own schedules I am reliable, confident and precise about pet care. Leave detailed instructions and everything else will be taken care of :) I look forward to falling in love with your fur baby!
About: I've been a cat lover and owner for over 20 years. I love having dogs in our home, playing and taking walks in our local neighborhood. I work from home full time and would love extra company. I'm looking to gain more hands on experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly cats. A large house that is warm and loving. Live close to parks for walks and exploring.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life - medium and large breeds, all kinds of personalities - so pet care has always been second nature to me. I’ve solo-cared for my own pets for weeks at a time, and I’ve stepped in for friends and family for both short visits and extended stays. In high school, I took a veterinary prerequisite course and completed a co-op at a vet office, where I got hands-on experience caring for animals and learned how to administer medication in both pill and liquid form. I’m comfortable working with pets that have allergies or need to stick to a strict feeding and bathroom schedule. My love for animals goes beyond dogs and cats - I’ve kept leopard geckos, and I grew up next to a farm where I regularly visited the retired horses just to keep them company. I’ve always been drawn to animals that need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable lifting and carrying larger dogs, and I genuinely love going on walks and playing, whether that’s in the home or out at the park. Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I work a standard 9–5 during the week, so I focus my sitting availability on Friday evenings and full weekends. On weekends I’m completely free and happy to stop by for in-home visits, take your pup out for a walk, or even bring them along for a drive. I come to you — so your pet stays comfortable in their own space and never has to adjust to a new environment. Whether you need a quick check-in or someone to spend a good chunk of the day with your dog, I’ve got the time and the enthusiasm for it. During my visits I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets bathroom breaks, and gets plenty of playtime and affection. I’m happy to take them out for walks or a drive if they need more stimulation or just love being out and about. I’ll follow whatever feeding, medication, or care routine you have in place — whether that’s managing allergies, sticking to a strict schedule, or administering medication in pill or liquid form. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own:)

About: About Ricardo I have over 8 years of experience as a dog sitter, walker and Behaviorist in Mexico. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and I’ve always had a natural ability to understand and connect with them. Over 10 years ago, when my dog Horchata joined my life, she was energetic and needed guidance. I took a diploma in Spain to learn how to help her become balanced and confident. Later, friends began asking me to care for their dogs while they travelled, and they were impressed to see how their pets improved after staying with me for a few weeks. That experience motivated me to dedicate my life to dog care, something I enjoy. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. This role gives me hands-on experience with routines, enrichment, feeding, safety, and observing behavior changes. I have availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to care and/or for a great walk. Although I live in an apartment, I know the value of frequent walks and I take them seriously. I stay attentive to each dog’s needs and adapt to their routine and personality. I’m available every day and almost all the time since I work from home, which makes this the perfect activity for me. I recently left a two-year job to dedicate myself fully to pet care again. Although I live in an apartment, I know how important frequent walks are, and I take them seriously. I always stay attentive to each dog’s needs and can easily adapt to every pup’s routine and personality.
“Kind, caring, and excellent communication through throughout Indigo’s stay. Photos were wonderful to ease my mind- Indigo was in great hands (and having a great time!). I appreciate the responses to my many questions, and also that last minute request being honoured. It really helped me out in the pinch! Wish I lived closer to leverage Cindy’s care for Indie more often :)”
“Melissa was so easy to work with! She was okay with a last minute booking and flexible about having to adjust pick up time! She was so kind to interact with! She was handed 2 dogs and navigated it with ease and no complaints! Will be back!”
About: I am a dog loving person who decided to offer dog boarding because when I was in need of a dog sitter, I was referred to this site. Being new to the area, I would love to help other dog parents in need. Wilbur, our fur baby, loves all dogs. I live two blocks from the water front and many parks around. I work from home so there will always be someone here to keep the fur babies company. Guaranteed 2-3 long walks per day. I have a studio apartment so only able to take small to medium size dogs at this time.

About: Hi, I’m Jenna! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with both cats and dogs. I currently have two senior cats and a 5 year old German Shepherd, so I’m very familiar with caring for pets at all stages of life. At 21, I founded a local animal rescue called The Avery Foundation. During my 5 years volunteering there, I gained hands-on experience administering medication, working with aggressive or feral cats and dogs, and caring for senior pets with more complex needs. I’m confident handling all types of animal personalities and situations, and not much fazes me! Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m down to earth, friendly, and a quick learner. I have previous experience pet sitting on Rover and am excited to start taking on new clients again! Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I’d love to connect and look after your pets! I currently have open availability and am looking to take on several new clients and fill spots, providing reliable and caring pet services. I am flexible and can work around your schedule! To ensure your pet’s safety and comfort, I always ask for detailed instructions regarding their routine, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medications, dietary requirements, and any specific dos and don’ts. This helps me provide consistent, personalized care and gives you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Calling the Glebe home, I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful, safe, and animal friendly neighborhoods in the city. Though I live in a one-bedroom apartment on the 8th floor of a small high-rise, my home is very cozy and welcoming (especially for dogs and cats!). I have a beautiful outdoor balcony space with a wonderful view for furpals to relax on, and a spacious indoor area with multiple dog beds, lots of dog toys, and a pet friendly couch and king bed (I have a corgi-approved ramp for access). Your furbabies will feel right at home with Rosie and have a pal to play and lounge with at all times. Additionally, my neighbourhood is surrounded by safe walking paths, and extensive green park spaces, featuring multiple dog parks within a few minutes walk, and a very friendly dog community (Rosie will make the proper introductions to her best pals). Rest-assured that your furbaby will be in a stimulating, yet safe environment, and get lots of exercise and social time!
“When you're thinking who would be the dream person to take care of you pet, that's Derek. My dog is always thrilled to see him. He has proved to be completely reliable. Most importantly, Derek is full of genuine kindness and patience. He has my full trust, which i don't say lightly.”
About: I’ve had puppies, kittens, even 10-day-old kittens that needed around-the-clock bottle feeding and care, so I’m no stranger to the messy, adorable, and sometimes chaotic side of pet parenting! I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, and my fur babies are truly my pride and joy. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family - whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. You can expect lots of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands I work from home during the week and have very flexible hours, so it's easy for me to accomadate your schedule to make your fur baby feel as comfortable as possible while you're gone. Other than Sunday morning church services, my weekends are completely open to you! When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep everything as consistent and stress-free as possible for them. I follow your pet’s routine closely - including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m also very mindful of keeping your home clean and respected, leaving things exactly as I found them (or better!). As someone who has 3 cats who's main goal in life is to escape to the great outdoors (and fails every time), safety is always a top priority, so I stay alert on walks, secure doors and gates, and keep a close eye on your pet’s behaviour and well-being. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I am an experienced pet owner with dogs and cats, as well as volunteer regularly at the shelters. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including rescues. I understand canine body language, routine and the importance of safe, compassionate and reliable care. I currently work from home, but I am happy to provide late morning to early afternoon pet care for you and your pets during the week, be that potty break and lunch or playing in the backyard. I am happy to accommodate what suits you and your pup best. If you are in need of more of a pet sitting scenario during the day for up to 5 hours please feel free to message me. I provide safe, and efficient play, walk relief, potty breaks or lunch time to working parents so their dogs have during the day interaction. Be that taking them for a walk in the neighbourhood or playing with them in their backyard whatever would suit your dogs personality and activity requirements best.
About: I’ve been house and pet-sitting since I was 16. Always making sure my friends and family can step away with zero stress and their fur babies are the star of the show! I’ve taken care of small to medium sized mostly, but large dogs a few times. No matter where I go, pets gravitate towards me! My schedule is very flexible and I have great knowledge of the city with reliable transportation. I play sports in the evening a few days a week but nothing that can’t be worked around I will ensure I study the area my clients live in and discuss the areas and routines your pets are accustomed to. Also, the type words they respond to. I always want to ensure they will feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and started walking and caring for pets at a young age. I can guarantee that I will love and care for your pet more than anyone else would. I am currently waiting to start my new job which only starts at the end of this summer so I have a bunch of free time! I will fit in as much of pet care into my schedule as possible! I myself have a dog with extreme anxiety so I am experienced with all types of pets. I will assure your dog feels comfortable in all types of environments with my expertise.
About: Nice to meet you! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m responsible, communicative, and dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a full time job from 830am to 430pm on Mondays to Fridays. I am very flexible outside of those hours if you need someone trustworthy to watch over your pet. Your pet’s safety comes first. I always use secure leashes, check gates and doors, and keep a close eye on them. I know how important trust is, so I can send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy. I keep things calm, clean, and cozy so your pet feels right at home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life - medium and large breeds, all kinds of personalities - so pet care has always been second nature to me. I’ve solo-cared for my own pets for weeks at a time, and I’ve stepped in for friends and family for both short visits and extended stays. In high school, I took a veterinary prerequisite course and completed a co-op at a vet office, where I got hands-on experience caring for animals and learned how to administer medication in both pill and liquid form. I’m comfortable working with pets that have allergies or need to stick to a strict feeding and bathroom schedule. My love for animals goes beyond dogs and cats - I’ve kept leopard geckos, and I grew up next to a farm where I regularly visited the retired horses just to keep them company. I’ve always been drawn to animals that need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable lifting and carrying larger dogs, and I genuinely love going on walks and playing, whether that’s in the home or out at the park. Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I work a standard 9–5 during the week, so I focus my sitting availability on Friday evenings and full weekends. On weekends I’m completely free and happy to stop by for in-home visits, take your pup out for a walk, or even bring them along for a drive. I come to you — so your pet stays comfortable in their own space and never has to adjust to a new environment. Whether you need a quick check-in or someone to spend a good chunk of the day with your dog, I’ve got the time and the enthusiasm for it. During my visits I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets bathroom breaks, and gets plenty of playtime and affection. I’m happy to take them out for walks or a drive if they need more stimulation or just love being out and about. I’ll follow whatever feeding, medication, or care routine you have in place — whether that’s managing allergies, sticking to a strict schedule, or administering medication in pill or liquid form. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own:)

“Trudy took excellent care of our lab, Reece! She was an excellent communicator and sent us pictures of their adventures every day. Reece came home super tired, just the way we love her :) ! She can’t wait to go back to Trudy’s house to play with her new buddies. Thanks Trudy!”
About: Hey! I’ve had pets in my home my whole life (from hamsters to large breed dogs). My family fostered animals from the Ottawa Humane Society for 10 plus years. I have experience with all kids of fur babies :) I work from home Monday-Friday so I have lots of flexibilty. I live in a quiet community perfect for dog walks, and have a yard for supervised potty breaks. My home is very pet friendly. I have no issues with pet hair on furniture or the occasional mess. I have my own three legged kitty who is dog friendly. I love to give affection to pets and allow them on my furniture.
“We felt very comfortable leaving Raven at Cindy’s. We will definitely rebook next time we need to go out of town. Cindy’s dogs were also very friendly and Raven returned home completely out of energy from playing so much. Highly recommended.”
“Melissa watched our two large dogs for the second time! She is great to message with and very accommodating! She navigates the dogs well and provides updates when needed! We will continue to use melissa- great care!”
“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Nicole and Eddie were wonderful with Daisy. They gave her lots of loving attention, took her on many walks with their dog, Keyser. They also took her to the pet store and had other activities planned for her during her stay. Keyser and Daisy get along well and are a good match for each other. We felt very confident leaving Daisy with Nicole and Eddie while we were on vacation, and loved the photos they sent us showing Daisy was having lots of fun.”
“Very pleased with Chico’s first visit. It was a great setting with no other dogs and a caring family who treated him like he was their own! The kids tired him out, loved his kisses and Daniel and Sarah kept us updated with photos and notes. We rebooked immediately after picking him up from his 1st visit.”
“Jacqueline and Jamie are exceptional care givers. They not only gave our doodle a lot of love but also helped curb some bad habits. Their attention to detail and analysis of canine needs was exceptional. We received multiple pictures, videos and narratives on a daily basis. Communication skills were outstanding. Our boy received many walks and play times with his dog pack companions and was kept well groomed with occasional wash-ups required after some frolicking in the mud. My wife and I and our doodle are very happy customers and wish we could award 6 instead of just 5 Stars. We highly recommend Jacqueline and Jamie.”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“She’s awesome. She goes above and beyond. She went on so many adventures with our dog. And that’s what we appreciate the most- we wanna see our dog forming memories as much as we do. Thanks for everything!”
“Your pet will be part of the family while you’re away. They are kind and easy to communicate with. You’ll love everything about choosing Jocelyn and Jason!”
“Qianzhi S was amazing. Our dog Charlie was very well taken care of. Lots of attention, walks and fun in the backyard. Qianzhi provided lots of pictures of what Charlie was up too. Will use her again 100%”
