About: I’ve have had a dog my entire life, working with rescues and making them comfortable within my home. My currently dog Maxie is a rescue that came from a horrible background and wouldn’t even come to us the first day we met her. Now two years later she is the most snuggling loving girl. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your dog, I go on plenty of walks and will have more then enough time to spend with your dog I have a fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. Your dog will have 3 loving dogs to play with, and watched at all times

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 have 1 year of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I always make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully and keep pets in a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I provide regular updates, ensure plenty of attention and exercise, and treat every pet with the same care and respect as my own.

“Your pup will have a great stay! Pamela was very professional. At our meet and greet, she clearly knew how to work with dogs (and loved doing so), but also took no great care to understand my schedule and what I do. She sent oodles of pictures during a 4-day stay, during which my dog was happily playing or snoozing - great peace of mind. On pickup, my dog was happy and cheerful, and much better behaved than when I leave her at a kennel. Will book again!”

About: Think of this as a boutique, in-home pet boarding retreat — not a kennel. With 30+ years of hands-on experience raising, hosting, and loving just about every creature imaginable — cats, dogs, fowl, rabbits, rodents, and even tortoises (yes, really) — your pet will be in wildly capable hands. Puppies who need gentle training? Seniors who need extra patience and TLC? Shy pets, quirky pets, “my pet is kind of weird” pets? I’ve met them all and adore them deeply. Our home is designed for calm, gentle pet care, nestled on a peaceful 100-acre forest property (freija.ca), which means plenty of fresh air, enrichment, and stress-free vibes. No kids, no chaos — just a quiet, loving environment where animals can actually relax. My husband and I both work from home, so your pet is never left wondering where the humans went. Someone is always around for companionship, playtime, belly rubs, or just existing together (a highly underrated skill). And then there’s Honey, our resident adventure cat and official Welcome Committee. He absolutely loves meeting visiting pets and brings big “friendly camp counsellor” energy to every introduction. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family, understands animals on a deep level, and can handle everything from puppy zoomies to senior snoozes — you just found your place. 🐾💚 My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet gets constant supervision, companionship, and engagement — ideal for puppies needing routine, senior dogs who require extra care, and pets who don’t do well being left alone. There are no children in the home, just experienced adults who speak fluent “animal.” Our home is set up specifically for gentle, low-stress pet sitting, tucked away on a quiet 100-acre forest property (freija.ca). It’s perfect for dogs who love sniffing adventures, cats who enjoy calm observation posts, and pets who thrive in a peaceful environment. No crates by default, no overcrowding, and absolutely no chaos. If you’re looking for reliable, experienced, in-home pet boarding where your pet is treated like family (and maybe a little spoiled), you’ve found it. Your pet brings the personality — we’ve already got the love, patience, and forest vibes covered.

“Molly had a great stay with Jennifer and she got to meet new friends. Jennifer kept us updated with photos which helped as this was her first time away from us. When we picked Molly up, we thought that she would be happy to see us, unfortunately not. However, she was too tired of meeting new friends and having fun, she slept all the way home, which was about a 90 minute drive. We were happy with Jennifer and will definitely book her again!!!”

Laetitia T.

“Courtney was absolutely exceptional! Stella had a great time in her care! Her property is amazing! She had excellent communication; sent pictures while out on a walk, and kept me in the loop and reassured while we were away! She definitely went over and above to pamper, exercise and take great care of Stella! We would 100% book again and reccommend Courtney!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve had them since I was young and have spent the last 12 years caring for others’ pets as well. I recently lost my beloved French Bulldog, who required a lot of dedicated care, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. Because I’m completing my Master’s degree from home, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule. This allows me to be available during the day for walks, feedings, and ongoing supervision, ensuring pets receive consistent, attentive care rather than being left alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important routine and a calm environment are, so I do my best to keep things consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just how they like to relax. I’m very mindful about safety in the home and always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I also keep communication open so you always know how your pet is doing. These things were so important to me with my own dog.

“Molly had a great stay with Jennifer and she got to meet new friends. Jennifer kept us updated with photos which helped as this was her first time away from us. When we picked Molly up, we thought that she would be happy to see us, unfortunately not. However, she was too tired of meeting new friends and having fun, she slept all the way home, which was about a 90 minute drive. We were happy with Jennifer and will definitely book her again!!!”

“Courtney was absolutely exceptional! Stella had a great time in her care! Her property is amazing! She had excellent communication; sent pictures while out on a walk, and kept me in the loop and reassured while we were away! She definitely went over and above to pamper, exercise and take great care of Stella! We would 100% book again and reccommend Courtney!”

About: Hi there, My name is Natalie and I live with my partner Jesse, our 12 year old pug Bernie and our 4 year old Terrier mix, Lucy. We are huge dog lovers and often spend our weekends going for long walks and volunteering for a local animal rescue. We would treat your pet like our own while they are in our care. Every day we make sure our two dogs are cared for and happy. Our joy and purpose comes from seeing them living their best lives. Safety and lost dog prevention always comes first. It is so important that a dog is secure and never given the opportunity to be in harms way.

“We would definitely recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. She is very kind and took such great care of our baby (pug). She sent us pictures and kept us updated.”
