“Amazing! I have a super energetic labrador retriever puppy and I was very apprehensive about how he will stay in daycare, but right from the meet and greet, Jarmila and Eileen and their girls (3 boxers) put him at ease right away. They take such great care of him during the day, and he has loads of fun with the pack that he misses them when he is away from them and always eager to go back to them every morning. He is well disciplined and much better behaved since he has started staying at their place, and Jarmila and Eileen and their love for dogs and experience really shows all the way through. They provide updates during the day with pictures and activities. Cannot recommend them enough and my puppy has certainly found his home away from home!”

Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”

“Amy is amazing with my crazy dog and he seems to be much calmer after his hour walk with her. She is very professional and asks all the right questions. She always turns up on time or a few minutes early and he always gets his full hour walk. I would highly recommend Amy as your dog walker and hope she’ll continue walking Ollie for as long as I need her🐾😊”
“Would 100% book Eric again. He was on time and cheerful (in spite of the very cold and snowy weather). He and Winnie really hit it off and I could tell she had a great time on the walks. Thanks Eric!”
About: I’ve walked my friends and neighbours’ dogs for years! I love getting to know the dog and building a relationship with the owners. I am looking to adopt eventually so I’m trying to spend more time with dogs to see how it’ll fit into my life. I have a hybrid job and have some availability during the day, especially at lunchtime. Otherwise I’m very available for morning and evening walks. Very happy to work together to create a schedule that fits your needs. I don’t board pets at my place as I have a cat. It’s important to me to have a conversation to learn you & your dog’s boundaries, likes/dislikes, and training goals. I appreciate very clear instructions to make sure that your dog is well taken care of.
About: I spent this summer sitting regularly for two families. The first was a family with three dogs and a cat, staying overnight to ensure they are comfortable, fed and have company. The second was spending time with an elderly cat who was older than me! I’m a recent university graduate who is currently working part time at my universities athletic centre. Hoping to fill up some free time looking after and caring for your pets! I do safety checks of the open areas to ensure there is nothing in reach of the animals, when leaving I also follow all the instructions for locking up and ensuring the pets are safe.
“Laurie is awesome! She is flexible and easygoing with my inconsistent schedule and last-minute changes. She texts me pics of the pups and updates me about the visits. Thank you, Laurie! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet.”
About: We have been a multi-dog household for over 25 years and have come to appreciate how unique and fascinating each dog is. Whether it is a puppy ready to explore the world, a senior needing extra care or anyone in between, every dog has enjoyed a loving home and we have felt enriched by them.. The main playroom has direct access to a fenced yard and an upstairs quiet room provides a calm space for those who want to take a break. It is also a great space for the shyer pups that need to build confidence with calmer pack members before joining the group. The ideal size for our pack is between 30 and 80 lbs. My interest in dogs has let e to obtain a certified obedience instructor certificate and I have completed a dog psychology course with Cesar Milan. While living in Washington DC, I worked for "Puppy Love," providing mid-day walks and still remember how excited a dog was as soon as I came in. We work from home. pick up between 7am and 9pml Please text as you are arriving to promote a quiet environment Dogs love coming back. Fenced yard. Room to run an play. The front porch is gated and we to choose from have 2 sets of doors to the front to minimize the the risk of escapes. Lots of dog toys
About: I’ve always grown up around pets, with my family having two toy poodles (as well as a couple fish) as part of our home. My extended family and close friends have always had dogs too, including Labrador retrievers, wiener dogs and terriers, amongst other pets like cats, birds and rodents! I work full-time from home, and the thought of having a furry, loving friend to cozy up to all day makes me excited! Despite spending time working out, taking in a movie at the theatre or enjoying time with friends, I’m more of a home body who loves being in my own space. I’m all about safety and ensuring my pets are watched over at all times. My place has several doors before you can exit outside, and I would never take my pet off-leash unless it was in a gated, secure area.
