We loved that she had a fenced-in yard for the dogs to hang out in. We definitely felt confident that our girls were in good hands!”

“First time using Rover. Definitely recommend. Carli was amazing with my high energy dog. She gave frequent updates, and managed to tire my 11 month old pup. Gave piece of mind that my dog was well taken care of while we were away.”
About: Our family included a sweet cat who lived to the age of 19. We also have a dog who is 5 years old and we understand the joys of puppy training. We enjoyed Puppy school and agility training and understand what is required to keep dogs happy and well exercised.

If your pet is not social- no problem! I have a fully fenced yard and a 5 year old mini golden doodle who loves furry friends. I enjoy long walks and am well prepared with treats and water. Rain or snow don't deter me from a walk- its always enjoyable with the right outerwear! I have attended puppy school with my dog and understand the concepts of dog behavior and how to keep dogs in control, engaged and happy.

“Melissa was so lovely to deal with and she took amazing care of my June. It felt like I was leaving my dog to stay with friends, and I never once worried about her! Thanks to Melissa & and her sweet daughter for taking June into your hone and treating her like she was your own!!”

About: I have spent my life caring for animals, domestic and wild. I am involved in animal rescue as a volunteer and am well learned in animal behaviour, communication and psyche. I understand deeply the intricacies of dog behaviour, good and not as good. I have had dogs and cats (as well as other animals) as family members my entire life. I couldn’t live without them. I also am fond of reptiles, birds and other pets if you need those taken care of. I am well known in the community, various dog parks and through various animal rescues. A true, non-selective animal lover. I should be your go to, when ever you need your babies taken care of. ❤️ I don’t discriminate. I am happy to share my professional background with potential clients as well. All th best, Jennifer
About: My name is Georgia and I am currently in flight school here at Kingston. I am from Toronto, Ontario and have grown up around pets (specifically dogs) my whole life. I love all animals and staying active and can schedule a regular dog walking or house/pet sitting :) Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and exercise, and I keep their space clean. I’m reliable, attentive, and enjoy spending time with animals. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, provide companionship, keep them engaged with play and activities, and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. I also communicate regularly with owners and provide updates for peace of mind.
“Jess offered us tremendous peace of mind during eight days away from home. She immediately bonded with our cats and we could tell from their expectations of us when we got home that she gave them oodles of play and attention. Jess was extremely communicative and helped us keep in touch with our three kitties on a daily basis.”
“Thomas did an great job with our cat Rosie. I really felt like she was loved while there. The house itself was also spacious so she had lots of space to roam. Rosie has medical issues and so needs meds at very specific times of day and Thomas made sure to let us know that she got them. I would definitely have him cat-sit for is again 😊”
About: Absolutely! Here's the same question answered specifically from the perspective of an experienced **cat sitter**: --- I have over 5 years of experience as a cat sitter and currently have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the unique behaviours, needs, and personalities of feline companions. What sets me apart is my deep patience and intuitive approach to building trust with cats, especially those who are shy, territorial, or take time to warm up to new people. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who may need medication, special diets, or gentle handling. I’m confident with administering oral medications, grooming long-haired breeds, managing litter boxes, and providing enrichment through play and stimulation. I also have experience with multi-cat households and understand the importance of maintaining routines, respecting boundaries, and recognizing signs of stress or illness early on. I keep pet parents updated with daily photos and detailed reports, and I always treat every cat like they’re my own — with love, respect, and a calm, reassuring presence.
“Kelly understood and took care of an elderly cat’s needs so well, including lots of medications. She sent lovely updates and photos so I got to see just how happy Mr Mae was. She was kind, professional and an all-round pleasure. Thanks so much Kelly!”
About: I'm an experienced and hard-working sitter in the Kingston area, offering peace of mind that your home and little ones are well taken care of in your absence. I have lived with animals my entire life. Naturally, I understand you're seeking the best possible care for your little ones, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I've been a Pawshake sitter since February 2019 and have been loving every moment of making so many new four-legged friends! About my services: HOME VISITS consist of one afternoon or evening visit that lasts up to 45 minutes, depending on your pet's needs. During this visit, I would feed your pet(s), refresh their water dish, play & socialize with them, clean their litter box, and so on. I'm also happy to water your plants, bring your mail inside and take out garbage/recycling when needed. HOME BOARDING at my spacious, ground-level apartment means that your cat or dog would stay with me and my pets for overnights over an extended period of time. You can rest assured that your feline friends will get tons of pats and cuddles, and that dogs will be walked twice a day with plenty of opportunities to run around the yard in between. All you need to bring is their food, treats, and leash! I also offer HOUSE SITTING. The house sitting option means Birdie, Bowie and I would stay at your residence round the clock, provided I don’t have any bookings for home boarding at the requested time. This service would be ideal for households with both cats and dogs, or for animals who have a harder time adjusting to new environments. My apartment is puppy-proofed, equipped with puppy pads if needed, two litter boxes (scooped daily), and lots of toys, beds, and treats for cats and dogs alike. It's clean and spacious, with big windows for bird-watching. I have a very large, fenced-in yard for tons of extra play time, rain or shine. I have installed pet gates with built-in cat doors throughout the apartment, so cats and small dogs can have their privacy away from the larger guests when I am unable to supervise. About my pets: I have two pets of my own: An easygoing, playful, and extremely dog-savvy black cat named Gigi Luigi (4 years, male, neutered) who loves making new kitty friends, and a flat coat retriever/labradoodle named Bowie (3 years, female, spayed). Both would relish the extra company and have been socialized to respect animals of all shapes and sizes. Both are also up to date on their vaccines. I think that covers it! Thanks for giving my page a gander. I hope to meet you and your little ones soon! ☺️ I do work full-time as a community mental health nurse, but working in the community means I can drop by my home for short visits as many times per day as needed, and spend my lunch break at home every day as well. I take Bowie for 1-2 off leash adventures every day, whether or not I am working. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly pup of my own to keep yours occupied, and would be taking them on and off leash adventure at least once a day, regardless of whether I work. I also have the flexibility to pop into my home throughout the day on days I do work, so the pups get frequent potty breaks and are never left alone for long stretches.

About: I've been caring for small dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love giving them attention they deserve. I have experience with different small breeds and understand their unique needs and personalities. Friends, neighbors and family gave trusted me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their little pups, My goal is to make every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners away. I'm a stay-at-home mom with one toddler and a small Maltipoo, so I'm home most of the day with plenty of time to give your pup attention and care. My days are filled with playtime, walks, and cuddles, and I'd love to include your dog in our fun, loving routine. I'm also available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays. I have a safe, clean home and a friendly Maltipoo who loves other small dogs. Your pup will be part of a calm and loving family environment, getting plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I always make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and loved - just like they're at home.
“Ricci has been great with Tony. She's taken care of him a few times now, and he comes back nice and pooped – the sign of a good stay! She has been sensitive to Tony's needs and my training methods, and he's been happy to go back each time.”
“They were amazing! We got photo and video updates throughout the day of how our puppy was doing! He had so much fun playing with new friends and came home exhausted! We loved it so much we became regular clients!”
“Murphy was a happy, sleepy boy after a full day of romping around with Tucker and the rest of the pack. Thanks Lisa, we’ll be coming back to you for another weekend visit soon!”
“Paige and Vanessa took great care of my dog! They communicated often and updates were much appreciated. My dog was very content and happy which is awesome because he has some separation anxiety and I was worried about leaving him.”
About: We have a quiet, orderly home with regular routines. Our last dog lived to be 16 years old and needed quite intensive care in the last year. We live in a quiet neighbourhood and are happy to take your pet to the dog park nearby or the Lemoine Point walking trail. I have few daily commitments outside of the home and am seldom gone for more than an hour or two. An anxious or timid dog would do well in my care. I believe in plenty of walks and playtime with favourite toys. I’m also happy to let them cuddle with me as much as they want.
“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”

“Our dogs were with Heather for the day, they came home happy and tired. They had an amazing day. We would definitely have our dogs stay with Heather again. She gave us updates ( photos and videos) and her sweet dog Elphie was a great playmate. Thank you thank you Heather for welcoming and taking care of Archie and Delilah.”
“Kirti and her husband were super flexible with our changing agenda which was very appreciative. Our dog quickly warmed up to them and made herself feel at home. Typically she does go on walks or eat the first day of care however she did both . This is a sign that she was given the attention she needed and felt very comfortable with them. Thank you!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Ernie’s daycare! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Ernie was happy, well looked after, and clearly received lots of love and attention during his stay. Communication was excellent, and it was obvious that she genuinely cares about every dog she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Ernie again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter or daycare!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I also fostered a court-rescue dog through the SPCA for over a year, giving me valuable experience with anxious and nervous pets. I’m experienced with rescue dogs, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I have a calm, pet-friendly cat at home and a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home, pets in my care receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. Friends and neighbours regularly trust me with their pets because I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. 🐾❤️ I work from home, so your pet will enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, dog walks, and drop-in visits. In my home, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with a fully fenced grass yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. Since I have a resident cat who is very laid back, I primarily welcome guest dogs who are already comfortable and friendly with feline companions. Because I am currently based at home, I can offer constant supervision and a consistent routine that mirrors your pet's life at home. Whether I am boarding a dog or visiting a cat for a drop-in, I focus on personalized care, ensuring they are well-exercised, fed on schedule, and given plenty of attention. My background with rescue animals means I am highly observant of body language, so I’m always making sure every pet feels relaxed and at ease, whether we’re relaxing in the garden or out for a walk.
About: Hi, I’m Elsa! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and people in my community since I was 16 years old, and it’s truly one of my greatest passions. I live in Kingston in a spacious home with a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for pets of all sizes. I happily welcome both small and large dogs, as well as cats and other small animals. 👩🏻💻 I work from home full-time, so your pets will rarely be left alone. They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. 💕 I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and turtles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. Every pet has its own personality, and I always take the time to follow their routine and make them feel safe and loved. When your pet stays with me, I care for them as if they were my own. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or not-so-furry!) family member and give them all the love and care they deserve. ❤️ MY SERVICES • Boarding in my home (all sizes welcome) • Drop-in visits at your home • Daily walks • Available days, evenings, and overnight • Short- and long-term stays • Medication administration if needed • Full-time work-from-home supervision Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles (not just before and after work). I enjoy keeping pets on their usual routine and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I make sure every pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each animal. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about their habits, favourite activities, energy level, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. For dogs, that might mean walks, outdoor play, games, or simply relaxing together. For cats, it could be quiet company, playtime when they feel like it, or respecting their space. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. When pets stay in my home, they also have access to a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is simple: to make them feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.
“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”
About: Dear pawrents, I have taken care of dogs since I have memory. When I was born, a beautiful German shepherd was brought home and we grew up together, since then, my love for dogs (and all animals) is inexplicable. I have taken care of my own dogs (Belgian and German shepherd, lab, schnauzer, dachshund, mixed, etc.). I have taken care of senior dogs with different needs (medication, carrying them to walk, etc.) and some dogs with diseases such as chronic seizures, cancer and arthritis. As a pet owner myself, I totally get it! Our pets aren't just pets, they're family. And that's why I'm on a mission to give them the VIP treatment they deserve. I'm currently working in a remote (work from home) position, so I have availability to take care of your puppy/ies during the day. I’m available for boarding during the weekends with some breaks in between so I can take care of my own dogs. I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets while respecting the routines and preferences set by the owners. Here's how I typically approach it: - Initial Consultation: I start by scheduling an initial consultation with the owners to discuss their dog's needs, routines, feeding schedules, medical history, and any specific instructions or preferences they may have. - Visits: During my visits, I ensure that the dogs have access to food, water, and a clean environment. I follow their feeding schedule and provide any necessary medications or supplements as instructed by the owners. - Exercise and Playtime: I engage the dogs in regular exercise and playtime sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could include walks, play sessions in the backyard, or games indoors (depending on the weather). - Potty Breaks: I take the dogs out for regular potty breaks according to their usual schedule, ensuring that they are comfortable and their living space remains clean. - Updates and Communication: Throughout my time with the dog(s), I maintain open communication with the owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are in good hands. - Security and Safety: I take measures to ensure the security and safety of the home, such as checking that doors and windows are securely locked and being mindful of any potential hazards in the environment. Overall, my goal is to provide personalized and attentive care to dogs in their own familiar surroundings, minimizing stress and ensuring a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.
About: I have taken care of many different types of cats and dogs over the years and can't wait to meet more. I provide high-end care for any pets in the Kingston area! For pets coming over to my home for care, I have one female golden, Sia, who gets along well with all animals. I am also now specializing in care for reactive dogs. I work part-time at Queen's University during the evenings and always have all daytimes free for whatever you or your pet has in mind for that day! I have strong safety senses and always come prepared with all the crucial first aid equipment and pet tools that could be needed in any situation. I also have the back of my car setup for pets, should yours need to be transported somewhere.
“Ana was very friendly, polite and knew exactly how to take care of my Chico. Definitely recommend her to anyone who need to leave their furbabies either for a few hours or a few days.”
About: I love cuddles and spending time with the dogs in my company. When looking after friend's dogs, I have helped with training good behaviour on walks, and I'm happy to enforce the norms and rules your dog is used to. I have the benefit of having a flexible day so I can pay attention to your pet when they need it. My home is fairly low energy and I hope to provide a calm and loving refuge for your pet while you are away. Unfortunately I do not board cats to keep my home allergy friendly, but I will happily take care of and give love and affection to cats on drop in visits. :) I owned a free roam rabbit for 3 years, and I have a thorough understanding of their unique needs and body language. I also love taking videos to send along for your reassurance. Let's have a conversation so I can be the best sitter for your needs! I'm a freelance artist who is currently home the majority of the time! I can happily plan my days around your pet's schedule and needs, and I love the ability to fit more walks in my day and get outside. Boarding: I do not own any other pets, and I do not currently allow sitting pets from multiple homes at once. For boarding - your dog will for the most part have free roam of my apartment, and good potty training is expected. I would not recommend very plant-curious dogs to board at my home. Coming to your home: I always maintain a base line of respect and privacy when coming to your home. My focus is your pet and their well-being and nothing else. I ensure to abide by your norms such as removing shoes, and keeping away from private areas of your home unless required. I can check on other things in your home to ensure there's no upturned trash, water leaks, or other issues while you're away. If there are any messes in your home, I am more than happy to take care of them with your direction and using your cleaning products.

“Janet was peace of mind personified. I would absolutely rehire her. I highly recommend that if you have a dog you adore that you book her to walk them. She was very kind and patient with our teenage-aged golden retriever and provided numerous photos and detailed updates. Thank you Janet for doting on our sweet Olive!”
About: My partner and I have had lots of past experience with taking care of dogs! We have both had labrador retrievers, shepherds, Alaskan Malamute, border collies etc. We currently have an eight month old labrador/husky that we rescued when she was 9 weeks old. She is currently training to be a service dog but still has some puppy brain and enjoys playing with other dogs!! We have trained her in many domains and she currently knows: sit, stay, down, back up, waiting at doors, paw, high five, spin, around, crate, support, hug, off, leave it, and are working on much more. We would be happy to help train your puppy/dog if you are currently working on anything! I am currently in school so I am available to watch your dogs during the weekday and most weekends. Our schedule during the week and weekends would be potty breaks every 0-2 hours. During the work week we are happy to walk your dogs anytime during the day :) We have a partially fenced yard and our dog goes on a long tie to ensure she stays safe! She is crate and house trained and usually stays in her crate throughout our work days to ensure she is safe as she still likes to chew on wires! Our puppy and your dogs safety is our number 1 priority :)
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve helped look after many dogs and cats, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet in my care. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable in their environment. Whether it’s maintaining routines, providing companionship, or giving extra care and reassurance, I make sure each pet feels secure and well cared for. I am open to caring for other animals as well!

“Juno started whimpering when he saw Thomas arrive for his walk. On a cold, windy, rainy day - Juno had no other hope for exercise. He gives 4 stars. He said he’d give 5 but Thomas didn’t have steak in his pocket.”
About: I'm passionate about animals and have experience caring for all types of pets. I'm a flexible, friendly and responsible person. I'm comfortable with all sizes, breeds and types of pets. I'm a non-smoker and have my own reliable transportation. I have had cats, dogs, fish and hamsters as pets and have volunteered on farms with horses, chickens and goats.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria has been amazing with my puppy, Ashe! She’s reliable, caring, and goes the extra mile—literally driving from Napanee to Tweed. I love the notes, photos, and videos she sends, and Ashe is always happy after her visits. She even worked with Rover to adjust rates for the distance, which showed real dedication. Highly recommend!”
About: (Note! I got a haircut. It's still me haha). As a pet owner I know that pets are part of the family. They need a lot of love (and work!) I can give your pet all the exercise and attention they deserve. I have experience with walking dogs of all types, caring for cats as well as scooping backyards! My availability varies week to week so it doesn't hurt to ask! More notice is always better. *If there is an emergency and I have to cancel I will let you know either the evening before or the morning of. If you won't be home make sure to leave an accessible key for access and so I can lock up when I leave. For walks please provide a leash.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in elementary school for my friends and family and have loved them ever since. I enjoy every moment I spend with animals and love to hike so it’s perfect for me! I am a part-time soccer coach for elementary age children, and work evenings on the weekdays and mornings on the weekends, but other than that my schedule is pretty free!

About: I have owned two dogs in my life (one being a 90 pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the other being a 50 pound french bulldog).

I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including anxious pups who need extra patience and love. I’ve run my own dog walking business and have worked at two dog kennels (one of which I’m currently at) and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of availability during the week to focus on pet care.

When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions and give plenty of love and patience (especially to anxious or shy pets) while always respecting your home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I am Pet First Aid certified and certified through Fear Free’s Shelter Program and Boarding & Daycare Program, which trained me to recognize fear, anxiety, stress signals, arousal levels, body language, and environmental triggers. I grew up in a dog friendly family and spent 12 years caring for my family dog, including her current senior stage care. My Life Sciences and Biomedical Science background also makes me detail-oriented and observant with changes in behaviour, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I focus on secure handling, safe routes, calm interactions, and adapting the walk to each dog’s temperament, age, and energy level. My goal is to provide reliable, low-stress dog walking that owners can trust. I am currently in my summer break (May-Sept). while writing up my research paper draft, I will be flexible with my schedule 7 days a week 6:00am-10:00pm for dog walking. I have full G license with my own vehicle. For dog walking, I focus on safety, consistency, and calm handling. Before each walk, I confirm the dog’s routine, leash or harness setup, energy level, triggers, and any special instructions. I also apply what I learned from Fear Free shelter and boarding/daycare training by paying close attention to body language, fear-anxiety-stress signals, arousal level, thresholds, and environmental triggers. I check that equipment is secure, choose safe routes, avoid unnecessary dog to dog interactions, and adjust the pace to the dog’s comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress walk while giving owners peace of mind.

About: My name is Georgia and I am currently in flight school here at Kingston. I am from Toronto, Ontario and have grown up around pets (specifically dogs) my whole life.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for my own dogs and cats for many years, while also fostering numerous animals with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I have experience supporting medically fragile pets, including administering insulin, inhalers, oral medications, and providing care for senior or incontinent animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra medical support, a calm environment, or simply lots of affection and attention, I’m committed to maintaining their routine and comfort every step of the way. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. I'm very lucky to work remotely and can set up a workspace anywhere there's an internet connection. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks or visits anytime. I have a large yard and one big friendly dog. He absolutely loves everyone he meets but is also good at giving space to those who need it. He's great at reading social queues from other pups and cats. I live on a quiet country road that makes for great walks. I tend to let our dog on our furniture but are fine to keep to your rules for furniture. In your home, I'll follow your set routine for your pets.
About: I used to work at a dog daycare and boarding facility for over 3 years so I have lots of experience looking after and walking dogs. After that I also worked at a dog grooming salon bathing dogs. I’m currently in between jobs so I have a very open schedule. I am available any day and and flexible with what times you need. I make sure that I am always supervising the dogs that I am looking after. Becoming familiar with your dogs personality and behaviour is very important for me.

About: I grew up with a small family dog as a young child in our family home, and took the leap into adulthood and dog ownership on my own! Porter is a 5.5 year old male neutered bernedoodle. He's super spoiled and rules the house :-) He loves having a playmate around so we thought we'd check out the Rover scene! We have experience looking after our neighbours dogs (Golden retrievers and a yellow lab). I have used Rover as a pet parent for help during vacations, etc. I know how hard it is to find someone trustworthy that will follow instructions. We go on 4 walks a day - sometimes more with yard play thrown in. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to allow all the dog care! I'm familiar with medicating dogs, including allergy injections so I can assist with care like that if required. I'm guilty of taking so many pictures of my dog, especially when he has friends visit so please be comforted knowing you will get lots of updates! We live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim and loves pontoon boat rides, they will have one heck of a vacation :-) If you have multi dog family - I'm happy to host them all! Please - no cats. I currently work from home and have lots of time with my flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, enrichment, etc. Porter can adjust to anyone else's schedule to make it easier, or we can do solo walks if that would be your preference. I do not have a fenced yard, but we go on leashed walked at least 4x a day - plus more playtime. Porter is allowed on furniture, so your dog is as well! There are no separate rooms for dogs in my house. He used to be crate trained and so i am familiar with it and can crate your dog if you require it.
“Stephan boarded my dog during our vacation and took utmost care towards her throughout our absence. He would send us constant pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend him.”
“I booked at the last minute with Charles cuz the Cruise team and camp resort couldn’t look after my dog who was traveling with us. Charles and his wife are excellent pet sitter. Their dog, Fiona, is also very friendly and well trained. Charles also update in the middle of the sitting time. I can see Lucy had a good time with the host family. Strongly recommended!”
