“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”
“Tucker had a wonderful vacation at Deborah's house while we were away. He seemed happy and busy and well exercised. I think he really liked having another dog in the house. It made our trip even better knowing Tuck was well taken care of. We will be back!”
“Our dogs always run happily into Natalie’s home at drop off. Such a nice feeling to be away and know our pups are getting their cuddle time in and being well cared for!”
“Our dog stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The property is beautiful and quite a distance from the road, creating a perfect environment for pets. We received daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They also brushed our dog regularly. We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period”
“Leah and Steven were great. Ruby came home and was exhausted from all the play during her stay. Thank you Leah and Steven. I will for sure be requesting another stay in the future.”
“Charlie had his first stay with Donna last weekend. He had a fantastic time playing with Lucy, Donna’s dog. I got updates on how he’s doing as I asked for them and I could tell that Donna sincerely cared about him and wanted him to feel at home. He adored her daughter too and was her constant companion. Charlie will definitely be back!”
About: Hi! I have had cats and/dogs in my home since I was 2. I have a big heart and plenty of patience. I have experiences with feeding, walking, cleaning, washing, adhearing to explicit vet instructions for medical needs, reactive personalities, practicing training, being gentle where needed and playing with animals. I am away from home from 8:00am-4:30pm on week days for work. I am unavailable for active care during that time unless for example, this includes a cat who can thrive independently while I am away for the day. At my home, I have yard in the back and lots of neighbourhoods to walk through. Inside my home I have the space to care based on a mutually agreed-upon plan of care. I live in an apartment and it is a nice quiet space. If care involves boarding with me, I would currently prefer you send your own supplies per the needs of your pet(s) (bowls, food, treats, litter/litter box/puppy pads/poop baggies, leash, toys, and other). If at a clients home, I am respectful, a great listener to the needs of the pets, the preferences of the household and am great at communicating when facilitating active care.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with my little dog Lacey from the age of 8 is what first made me fall in love with having a dog of my own. I was also lucky enough to be a dog mom for many years and he brought so much love and joy into our lives! Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ pets, both dogs and cats, ranging from large breeds to small, as well as small animals such as bunnies! I have lots of experience with pets including walks, feeding, brushing, active play, and of course, plenty of cuddles on the couch. As a current cat owner, I’ve also gained experience caring for senior pets and understand that they may need a little extra patience, attention, and care with their daily routines and individual needs. More recently, I’ve had the opportunity to foster a puppy, which I’ve found incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and helping them feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, some playtime, a little extra patience, or simply a cozy companion to curl up with, I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own. I look forward to getting to know your furbabies! 🐾🤍 Since I work a hybrid position, my schedule can be somewhat flexible so please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions regarding availability or if it lies outside the currently listed availability. My main availability will be in the evenings after 5pm but I’m not limited to that so feel free to ask. Weekend availability would be flexible with afternoon being favourable. I offer secure and friendly drop-in services at your home, interactive and fun walks for your furbabies, and cat sitting. I also offer dog boarding in my home, where there’s lots of space for your doggo to relax, play, and feel right at home. 🐾 I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love and care I give my own. Please reach out with any questions!

About: I have decades of cat and dog experience. Recently, our family dog crossed the rainbow bridge and I am hoping helping others' pets can help fill the void.

We do allow our pets on the furniture and to sleep in bed however again-whatever your pet is used to is what we will do.
