“Amazing folks! Browning is high energy and came home so calm and rested well from his time spent with Courtney and Ryan. We took comfort when Courtney and Ryan reached out to let us know how Browning was doing. Hat's off to these folks and the good work they do and cuddles that they give. We will be frequent flyers to St Thomas with our first stop to Courtney and Ryan's house.”
“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”
“Trudie was great with Penelope and kept me updated with photos and texts to let me know how things were going while I was away. I could relax knowing my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Trudie again!”
“This is the third time I’ve left Ollie with Carol - this time it was for my wedding out of town. We had peace of mind knowing that Ollie was in such good hands with Carol and her family. Carol is so wonderful, caring, and reliable. Thank you Carol!!”
“Bradley was the best dog sitter yet! He provided amazing updates of my sweet son and was able to care for him and all his needs! Alfred can sometimes be a handful and I feel filled with pure joy that he got along with Bradley! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone and I’m so grateful that he was able to look after him so well! Thank you so much!!”
“Luna was well taken care of during her stay with Hilary. Appreciate how flexible Hilary was and she her communication was great even sending us updates and photos. Thank you Hilary!”
“We were worried leaving Dexter with a sitter as he is generally very oriented and has anxiety issues. Lynn put us at ease the first day we were away with pictures that showed Dexter was happy and well taken care of. He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”
“Angela and her family take such great care of Stanley and she is a dream to communicate with! We always know our precious pet is in excellent hands with Angela her family!”
“I cannot recommend Janet enough!! She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of our Honey. She was excellent at sending photos and videos and updates. Honey was with Janet for 3 weeks and we knew without a doubt that she was being loved and cared for beautifully. Thank you so much Janet!!”
“First time experience using Rover. My sitters were Elizabeth and Gary C. They are wonderful,generous loving,caring dog people. They took on my 3 female dogs,various ages at very short notice for 10 days. I received pictures of my girls everyday, playing,being loved and just having a great time! I have a 15 yr old and 2 8yr olds. They are very fussy eaters. Somehow they got them on normal food. That is great for me! They are very quick to respond to texts. Right up to the last minute Elizabeth let me know how the girls were doing. Best experience I could have possibly had with boarding my girls. I never had a concern for their care or safety. They were in great hands with Elizabeth and Gary. I will definately be calling on Elizabeth and Gary again!”
“Maggie's second stay with Joyce was wonderful. Joyce is a very caring and considerate pet sitter and it's obvious Maggie is very comfortable with her, which isn't always easy for an anxious dog. I got regular updates from Joyce, including pictures and video, and I was very happy to see Maggie was having a great time. I think she would have been happy to stay with Joyce even longer!”
“Kollin is a great sitter - easy going but attentive, and super kind. And his dogs are so sweet. Bella had a great (and tiring!) day with them. I highly recommend Kollin.”
“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always felt natural to me. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That role taught me the importance of routine, safety, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the small details that keep pets healthy and happy. By profession, I’m currently a teacher, which means patience, responsibility, clear communication, and reliability are at the core of what I do every day. I’m used to being trusted with what matters most to people, and I bring that same level of care and accountability to looking after pets. Until recently, I was the proud owner of a Siberian Husky who lived an incredible life right up to the age of 13. Caring for him through all stages of life — from high-energy younger years to senior care — gave me deep experience with exercise needs, mental stimulation, grooming, and adapting routines as pets age. He was truly family, and his long, happy life means the world to me. I work as a teacher therefore have a set schedule, get home at a reasonable time, and can easily predict when I am available for your pets! I live in a house, drive, and am flexible with how I can support your pets while you are away. I am willing to work with you to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.
“Our dogs love their time with Victoria! She is so kind and caring, always providing the best level of care! She always sends a text when shes on her way and updates after with pictures! Highly recommend”
“Aleksandra recently took care of our three cats at her place during the day, and we had an amazing experience. Her home is cat-friendly, and her genuine love for animals is evident. Aleksandra provided excellent care, attending to each cat's individual needs and maintaining their routines perfectly. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which was very reassuring. Our cats returned home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for, clearly enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend Aleksandra to anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving cat sitter. Thank you, Aleksandra, for your exceptional care!”

“Jen is beyond WONDERFUL! Can't ask for a more caring, kind and loving person to look after our fur baby when we are away. Our fur baby is ALWAYS happy to see Jen and that puts us at ease. We love having Jen as apart of our family. ?”
“We had Rosalie over to look after our cat and spend the day with him. He was 1 of 5 when he was adopted into the family but recently became 1 of 1. So he is quite lonely when no one is home for an extended period of time and when we do arrive home he will tell us so in no uncertain terms! Rosalie arrived a little early which was great and was set to stay the day. When we arrived home after being gone almost 12 hours he was relaxed and happy. Rosalie is now his person that is just for him. We received a selfie of him and felt like we didn’t have to rush home. We will be using her again!”

“Great experience, Rita was very accommodating to our dog. Specially our dog is a rescue and needs some time to get to know the person. Rita made it easy and our dog has warmed up faster than we thought!”
“Diana was fantastic with accommodating my senior dog, and welcomed her into her loving home. This service is lucky to have her, and I am fortunate to have found her. Highly recommend.”
“Sayali, thank you very much for taking such a good care of my little dude. I can tell he really enjoyed the time he spent with you all. He loved playing with your dogs 😍.”
“I’ve rebooked with Jen multiple times for daycare and overnight stays. I’m someone who’s chronically anxious about leaving my pooch with someone new, but never with her! She’s so good at always sending updates and pictures on how the stay is going. Goose loves going to her place and hanging out with her family or playing with her dog! I wouldn’t ever hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”
About: My pet care experience is built on a deep love and respect for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner, I’ve mastered the art of reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and managing strict hygiene like litter box maintenance. I excel with shy or independent pets, knowing exactly how to give them space until they are comfortable enough to let their active, playful sides shine. When it comes to dogs, my work-from-home schedule makes me the perfect companion. I am experienced in maintaining consistent routines, providing structured potty breaks, and adjusting to different energy levels. Whether your dog is a couch potato who wants to snooze by my desk or an active pup who needs an energetic game of fetch, I am ready to match their vibe. I pride myself on providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment where both cats and dogs can thrive. I currently work from home, which means your pet will have constant companionship and supervision throughout the day! My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pet's exact feeding routines, keep their environment clean, and provide playtime right when they have those bursts of energy. Your pet’s safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. I strictly follow all instructions regarding locks, alarms, and boundary limits. I ensure hazardous items are out of reach and that doors are securely closed at all times. Because I work from home, my schedule is highly flexible, meaning I can spend plenty of quality daytime hours keeping your pet company. I respect their boundaries completely; if they are shy and need space, I let them do their own thing while I work. I mirror your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce any separation anxiety, and I will send you frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.
“Kollin was amazing with our Rosie. He sent us so many pictures and videos of Rosie playing with all the pups. He was not phased when I handed him her ear infection meds. It was amazing. What really made us realize this was going to be our Rosie haven going forward was when we got stuck out of town because if horrible wheather and were stressing out about having to rush home to pick up Rosie. I messaged Kollin and he was so chil and did not mind our changing plans half way through the reservations. It was extremely kind and we'll never forget it. When we picked up Rosie she was in good spirits and we can tell how attached she got to Kollin and his wife. It melted my heart to see. Thank you both so much for everything!”
“Angela is such a great sitter. I left Alex with her more than 12 hours a day without any worry. She replied to my messages within a few minutes and kept me updated with pictures. Thankyou so much for taking such great care of my dog. ❤”
About: Caring for dogs is more than a task—it’s a joy, a responsibility, and a love I carry in my heart every day.

“Shakira took such great care of my puppy! She gave tons of love, and kept me updated with cute pics. My pup was happy and well taken care of the whole time. When Bruce came home he was sweet and sleepy boy! Definitely will be coming back to Shakira for future dog care!”
About: I offer safe, loving in-home boarding in a calm environment with a secure backyard for supervised play. I have two friendly dogs, a mini poodle and a bichon, who are well socialized and gentle with other dogs. I keep routines consistent with regular walks, feeding schedules, and lots of attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. My home is clean, structured, and designed to be a relaxed home away from home. If you’d like it a little more playful or a little more premium, I can adjust the tone for you 😊 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, and I’m used to maintaining consistent schedules. I work in a structured way, so I can easily incorporate drop-ins, walks, or overnight care while ensuring each dog receives focused attention and companionship. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets are supervised and never left in unsafe situations. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain clear communication, and provide updates for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.
“My dog, Enzo, had a great day of daycare while I was away. Alexandria was even able to make things work for me on short notice, which was very appreciated. I’ll certainly use her services again in the future.”
About: I have been a passionate and dedicated caregiver for dogs of all breeds and temperaments since I was 15 years old. Having grown up with dogs, including my own Golden Retriever, Casper, and a German Shepherd I owned when I was 15, I have a deep, lifelong appreciation for the unique companionship dogs provide. My experience goes beyond just basic care; I am fully comfortable and skilled in administering both oral and topical medications. Neighbors, friends, and family consistently rely on me because they know I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I am supported by my two teenagers who also love dogs and enjoy helping out. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I pride myself on my patience, reliability, and ability to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior dog requiring extra care, you can rest assured they are in loving, capable hands." Tips for your profile: Highlighting Experience: Mentioning your personal history with breeds like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds builds instant credibility with owners of similar dogs. Adding Special Skills: Explicitly stating that you are comfortable with oral and topical medication is a major "plus" for owners of senior or special-needs pets. Family Support: Mentioning your teenagers shows that your home is a dog-friendly, active environment where their pet will receive plenty of attention. Would you like me to refine the headline for this new version? Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because our home is truly a dog-loving environment! I have incredible support from my family, including my two teenagers who absolutely love dogs and are always happy to help with walking, feeding, and playing. Additionally, my husband works full-time from home, which means there is always someone present to provide companionship and supervision. Because of this team effort, your pup will never be left alone and will always have someone to engage with, making it easy for me to ensure they receive consistent, attentive care even when I am out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live in a spacious 5-bedroom house, providing plenty of room for your dog to feel at home. Outside, we have a large, secure space for play, including a big, fenced-in deck that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. Our environment is designed to be safe and engaging, and I am always happy to crate your dog if that helps them feel more secure or follows their established routine at home.
“Brittany was great! Very much appreciated the cute pictures of our dog enjoying the stay and when my dog was excited to see her on her next stay I was sure Mikka enjoyed her time too. My dog is slow to adjust to new people so it was great that Brittany was patient through it used to this behavior.”
“My experience with Smita was amazing! We had a 13-year-old lab that was very well taken care of. I loved the updates and pics that Smita sent me. We will contact her again, for sure. 🧡🐶”
“Bee had lots of fun with Avijeet and Leo! Avijeet's dog Leo was very friendly and respectful, but energetic and playful enough to tire Bee out throughout the day. Bee came home happy and sleepy and she clearly enjoyed her time there. Thanks Avijeet!”
“This was Lucy's first time staying with a non-family member and it went great. Babita was great - lots of updates and pictures showing Lucy having a good time. Thanks for such a wonderful experience.”
“We were a bit nervous to leave Ollie as he had never gone to doggy daycare. He seemed to have had a wonderful day based on how relaxed he was when we picked him up and the pictures and videos. A big thank you and we look forward to bringing him many more times!”

“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”

“Although Nicole and I were not able to complete our days of dog walks, I enjoyed meeting her so much and the one walk my dog had was very successful. We have just been through the worst heat wave I ever remember in Southwestern Ontario, so it was just too hot for my dog and for Nicole to be walking. But we stayed in touch each day and made our decisions together about the extreme weather. I'm only sorry that we did not get to know each other better. I would never hesitate to contact her another time.”
“needed someone to accompany me on my walks and found Walter! This is a new experience for me and my dog Jojo and it went very well - even better than I imagined, both of us feel more comfortable so yay:D”

About: For the past 6 years, I’ve raised a Labrador retriever since he was a puppy, cared for dogs as if they were my own. I truly believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their owners are away. I have experience with energetic puppies who need patience and gentle training guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra comfort, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel secure and happy in my care. My goal is simple: allow dogs to sniff & have fun during walks, tire them for good sleep & keep the tails wagging. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks and check-ins, so your dog gets steady care rather than rushed visits. Because I plan my week around the pets I’m caring for, I’m able to maintain their routines as closely as possible — feeding times, exercise, medication (if needed), and lots of affection. Caring for dogs isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy. I have a fenced backyard & a very friendly Labrador Retriever dog ready to play & we provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each dog’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play sessions, and rest periods — so they feel secure and settled. For boarding and daycare, I make sure dogs get a healthy balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and quiet time. I’m attentive to their body language and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or need a slower, gentler pace. During walks, I focus on safety, leash manners, and giving them a positive, enjoyable experience. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.
“Victoria was a great and reliable walker for my Bernese Mountain Dog while I was away on vacation. She was very prompt for her arrival times and always shared pictures and a well written summary of each walk which was above my expectations! It had us feeling like she wasn't too far away from us the entire trip. I'd highly recommend her for your dog walking needs.”

My family is from Vancouver/ Van island and I have recently graduated from Western and currently working in London as an Elementary Teacher! I am available most days morning and evenings and available all throughout the days during summer break! I would love to dedicate part of my day to getting to know your amazing furry friends! I am comfortable taking dogs on long hikes or to parks. I often take my dog on trail walks and runs and I love taking trips to the dog beach so they can get a swim on hot days.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog lover with hands-on experience working at a kennel, daycare, boarding facility, and breeder. I am also in school studying veterinary medicine!! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages — from giant Irish Wolfhounds to tiny newborn puppies. I also have experience helping train new litters and working with dogs that need extra patience and behavioural support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I’m currently off school for the summer, which gives me lots of flexibility and availability for pet care! I also work a part-time job, but my schedule is very manageable and I still have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, daycare, etc; as long as I have some notice. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve! At the moment I’m unable to offer boarding or care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to travel to clients’ homes for walks, drop-ins and, daycare. I want pets to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible in their own environment!
About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, with a special focus on dogs and cats. At home, I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Beans and Chester, and our family dog, Hunter. My love for animals started early — growing up in the Philippines, my family cared for 20 dogs and 2 cats at once. That experience gave me the skills, patience, and dedication to handle pets with different personalities and needs, while always making sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, affection, and a watchful eye to ensure their well-being. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’m committed to keeping your fur babies happy and comfortable. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and experienced pet sitter, I would love the opportunity to care for your pets. With me, you can rest assured they’ll be in good hands — safe, loved, and treated like family. 🐶🐱💖 I currently work and am only in the office twice a week, which means my schedule is flexible. I live downtown London, but I’m happy to travel anywhere within the city to care for your pets. When pets are in my care, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a secure, loving environment where they can feel at ease, knowing they are protected and cared for at all times. I am attentive to their routines, needs, and personalities, ensuring they receive the right balance of play, rest, and affection. You can trust that I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, responsibility, and genuine love. My goal is to give you peace of mind while creating a safe, happy space where your fur babies can thrive.

“Amazing folks! Browning is high energy and came home so calm and rested well from his time spent with Courtney and Ryan. We took comfort when Courtney and Ryan reached out to let us know how Browning was doing. Hat's off to these folks and the good work they do and cuddles that they give. We will be frequent flyers to St Thomas with our first stop to Courtney and Ryan's house.”
“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”
“Bradley was the best dog sitter yet! He provided amazing updates of my sweet son and was able to care for him and all his needs! Alfred can sometimes be a handful and I feel filled with pure joy that he got along with Bradley! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone and I’m so grateful that he was able to look after him so well! Thank you so much!!”
“Luna was well taken care of during her stay with Hilary. Appreciate how flexible Hilary was and she her communication was great even sending us updates and photos. Thank you Hilary!”
“We were worried leaving Dexter with a sitter as he is generally very oriented and has anxiety issues. Lynn put us at ease the first day we were away with pictures that showed Dexter was happy and well taken care of. He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”
“Angela and her family take such great care of Stanley and she is a dream to communicate with! We always know our precious pet is in excellent hands with Angela her family!”
“Maggie's second stay with Joyce was wonderful. Joyce is a very caring and considerate pet sitter and it's obvious Maggie is very comfortable with her, which isn't always easy for an anxious dog. I got regular updates from Joyce, including pictures and video, and I was very happy to see Maggie was having a great time. I think she would have been happy to stay with Joyce even longer!”
“Kollin is a great sitter - easy going but attentive, and super kind. And his dogs are so sweet. Bella had a great (and tiring!) day with them. I highly recommend Kollin.”
“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Catherine took care of our dogs like they were her own! We greatly enjoyed receiving photo and video updates every day, and were so glad that they had her own dog, Lovey, to spend time with. Would highly recommend!”
“Chico stayed with Smita and her husband for two weeks, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. When we got him back, it was clear he had been well cared for. He was clean, happy, and had clearly been eating well. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Oh what can I say. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Morgan! She is sweet, kind with a big heart and loved my shepherd like she was her own. She has a beautiful home with a big fluffy bed , ready for your pup to curl up in. My pup had to take some medicine and she was happy to help. I received lots of pictures and txts and it was such a relief to know that she was being taken care of so well. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing my girl was being loved. Morgan is Heidi's new BFF. I never go anywhere without my dog but now I feel like I can go away without having to feel guilty. Heidi will be having a great time with Morgan while im away. That's a great feeling. Highly recomend Morgan!”
“You can trust your pup is in good hands with Liz. From the meet and greet to my puggles stay at her place you could see Liz's love for dogs. My pup came home happy and tuckered out. Highly recommend.”
About: I have been a passionate and dedicated caregiver for dogs of all breeds and temperaments since I was 15 years old. Having grown up with dogs, including my own Golden Retriever, Casper, and a German Shepherd I owned when I was 15, I have a deep, lifelong appreciation for the unique companionship dogs provide. My experience goes beyond just basic care; I am fully comfortable and skilled in administering both oral and topical medications. Neighbors, friends, and family consistently rely on me because they know I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I am supported by my two teenagers who also love dogs and enjoy helping out. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I pride myself on my patience, reliability, and ability to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior dog requiring extra care, you can rest assured they are in loving, capable hands." Tips for your profile: Highlighting Experience: Mentioning your personal history with breeds like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds builds instant credibility with owners of similar dogs. Adding Special Skills: Explicitly stating that you are comfortable with oral and topical medication is a major "plus" for owners of senior or special-needs pets. Family Support: Mentioning your teenagers shows that your home is a dog-friendly, active environment where their pet will receive plenty of attention. Would you like me to refine the headline for this new version? Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because our home is truly a dog-loving environment! I have incredible support from my family, including my two teenagers who absolutely love dogs and are always happy to help with walking, feeding, and playing. Additionally, my husband works full-time from home, which means there is always someone present to provide companionship and supervision. Because of this team effort, your pup will never be left alone and will always have someone to engage with, making it easy for me to ensure they receive consistent, attentive care even when I am out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live in a spacious 5-bedroom house, providing plenty of room for your dog to feel at home. Outside, we have a large, secure space for play, including a big, fenced-in deck that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. Our environment is designed to be safe and engaging, and I am always happy to crate your dog if that helps them feel more secure or follows their established routine at home.
