“We are overjoyed with the exceptional care that Sydney provided to our two beloved female beagles during their recent stay in her home. From the moment we met Sydney, it was evident that she has a deep love and understanding of dogs, and she treated ours as if they were her own. Sydney welcomed our girls, along with her friendly dog Jessie, into her home with open arms and a genuine warmth that immediately put us at ease. It was heartwarming to receive regular updates and photos, showing our dogs happily playing and relaxing together in Sydney's comfortable and safe environment. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our dogs felt at home was remarkable. Sydney's home was immaculate and perfectly set up for dogs, with plenty of space for them to roam and play. It was clear that she prioritized their well-being and happiness throughout their stay. When we picked up our beagles, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time under Sydney's care. We cannot thank Sydney enough for her dedication and love she showed towards our pets. We wholeheartedly recommend Sydney to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog boarder. Thank you, Sydney, for providing such a loving home away from home for our girls!”
“I left my dog Skye with Jeff for a night and he had such a great time! He sent me lots of photos and videos, and Skye looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. He got tons of walks and was really well taken care of. Communication with Jeff was great and super responsive and easy to talk to. Definitely will be booking again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I am so glad I chose Max to board my dog, Blu, for two nights! I was a bit nervous, but Max made the entire experience easy and stress-free. He kept me updated with great photos of Blu, which gave me total peace of mind. Blu was extremely well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Max!”
“Monique was beyond wonderful! She went above and beyond to ensure our new pup was safe, loved, and well taken care of. I felt completely comfortable with the thoughtful care Monique gave to our dog. She communicated frequently, sending plenty of updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again!"”
“Alexa and Florian were awesome with Sophia. Really took a lot of stress off of my mind knowing she was in great care. The updates were much appreciated and Sophia had a great time. Thank you so much!”
“They are the BEST dogsitter ever. My dog Beethoven was there 7 days. They keep me updated every day , treathim like they own family members. Thank you for give him all the loves and cares !!!”
“Iggy had a great stay with Robyn and Cory. They were really great at communicating during his stay and even sent me some pictures! I felt very confident leaving him overnight and will definitely be using their services again!!”
“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”
“I was dealing with a lot preparing my house to host a funeral reception. I contacted Quintelle and she responded very shortly and accepted to host Bailey for a night!! Bailey had such fun time with Quintelle and received a 5-star treatment. She went for walks and played in the backyard and had a good night sleep. I received many photos of her from Quintelle. When I picked her up next day she was happy and tired. We will definitely come back 🙏🏼❤️”

Thanks so much for all you do Melanie!”

About: I’ve had 3 cats in a single house since the start of highschool until I moved back down here. They were my rambunctious rapscallions and I miss them lots. Two brothers and a sister, various amounts of attention needed but I loved them to bits
About: I’ve always loved dogs my whole life but I’ve never had the chance to have a furry friend. When I am with my friends puppies I feel so connected and love having fun with them. I love going on walks and I think having a companion would be great! Getting our daily steps in and energy out is something I’m looking forwards to. I also enjoy calm days. Low energy activities and naps are always a good time too! I am currently working full time but would love to use my free time walking and playing with furry friends. I am available Tuesday, Thursday and the weekends (please message for more of a thorough breakdown of my availability). I am willing to visit a few fur balls after my shifts as well! I am willing to follow your wishes regarding your puppy’s care. I will ensure to keep them happy and well fed when you’re not home!
“Holly is incredible. This is her second time with my kitties. I have a very timid cat, and she let Holly give her pets and came out to eat in her usual spot. Holly helped create a safe and comfortable environment in her check ins with my two cats. She gave me such peace of mind with photos and updates. Thank you Holly!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child. We started by taking in strays/being gifted barn cats from friends. Living on a farm we saw many litters born, and as I grew older I realized how important fixing them was, so we started getting all the ones around our home fixed/vaccinated/dewormed. I started trapping kittens from friend’s barns and finding rescues to take them, fostering them in the meantime until they were ready to find a home of their own. I’m looking forward to the company of your pet and playing with them/caring for them. Note: we do have dogs in the home but they stay fully separate from the cat room.

About: Cats are like Pringles. You can’t have just one. I have 3 of my own floofs, all foster failures. Always happy to provide chin scratches and full body rubs. I also volunteer at the local cat shelter.
“Riley was absolutely wonderful. She sent me regular updates, videos and photos. My pet was so happy when I returned; she made him feel like his owners were never away! I would recommend Riley as a pet sitter to anyone who wants the best possible pet care :)”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. We cared for our dog for 12.5 wonderful years, including supporting him through diabetes for the last 1.5 years of his life. Through daily walks, medication routines, and lots of love, we learned how deeply meaningful caring for a dog truly is. After losing him, we miss the joy that dogs bring—walking, cuddling, and the unconditional love they share. Pet sitting allows us to give that love and care back to other families. Daily walks are always included in our fee and we will cater the length to whatever your dog is used to. Walks/Drop in visits: I work a rotating schedule and have many weekdays off. Please message to check availability! We walk nearly every weeknight anyways so we would love to incorporate dogs into our routine. Boarding: we both work full time in the office 4 days a week. Dogs must be able to be left alone in the day on weekdays. Weeknights and weekends we are both home. We would love to spend our evenings and weekends caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, weekend drop-ins, or overnight stays here at our home, your dog will be treated like family. We are a child-free, pet-free, smoke-free home, offering a calm and stress-free environment. Our property is fully fenced and includes a built-in ramp (see photo), making it ideal for dogs with mobility or stair challenges. My husband and I used to walk our own dog every single day, and he’ll be joining me in caring for the dogs who stay or visit. Between us, your pet will always have someone attentive, gentle, and experienced looking after them. We would be honoured to care for your pet and give them a loving home-away-from-home

About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My childhood cat is still happily with us at 18 years old, and over the years I’ve cared for cats in all kinds of situations, from newborn farm kittens to cats with more specialized needs. Over the past two years, I’ve gained a ton of hands-on experience living full-time with my partner’s cats, including caring for one with feline idiopathic cystitis and asthma. This has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little changes in a cat’s behaviour, comfort, appetite, breathing, and routine. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I also volunteer with the Niagara SPCA, where I get to care for lots and lots of kittens and cats with different personalities and needs. Through my volunteer work, I’ve learned how to gently monitor cats after surgery, including checking their breathing and taking their heart rate by hand without a stethoscope. I’ve also gained experience keeping recovering cats warm and comfortable and watching closely for changes that may need attention. I continue to educate myself about feline body language and behaviour because I believe cats deserve care that respects their individual personalities and boundaries. Whether your cat is social and playful, shy and cautious, or happiest watching the world from a quiet corner, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your cat’s usual routines, give them plenty of individual attention, and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your kitty is in good hands. 🐈⬛💕

We will definitely be using her services again :)”

“Winnie’s second visit with Meagan was great! Meagan actually had another dog staying with her for part of the day this time and was still willing to accommodate us, but she had us come by first to meet the other dog. It was really nice to see how seriously she takes the safety and comfort of all the dogs in her care. She had great communication throughout, and Winnie came home tired from all the fun. Winnie can’t wait to visit again!”
About: Since our 1st family dog as a child our house has always been filled with furry paws. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small to large. I am a childcare provider who is working part time. I have lots of free time during the day to care for your special furry friend. I work part time so have lots of free time to get out and go for walks during the day in all types of weather. We will enjoy walks in the neighborhood, or sometimes go on the trails and hike or even beach walks. If you have more then 1 dog that's not a problem at all.
“Betsabe was so good with my doggo. She has severe hip dysplasia in both hips and Betsabe made sure she was comfortable on her floors by putting a mat down for Hershey. The photo updates throughout the day made me smile and eased my mind knowing Hershey was with someone who was taking good care of her. Definitely will be using again.”
“Jeff watched our German shepherd while we were away on vacation and he was absolutely amazing. He provided daily activities updates and communicated with us regularly. We felt very relaxed that our GSD was with Jeff and he also had a really amazing time with Jeff. Highly recommend Jeffs services. Couldn't be more happier. Thankyou jeff!”

I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from home.

About: Nice to meet you! My name is Chelsea, I am a 33-year-old Law Clerk, looking to make some extra money to save for a house! I am very responsible, reliable, trustworthy, and I absolutely LOVE animals! I have volunteered at the SPCA working with a variety of animals, gaining all the experience that comes along with it. DOGS: I am comfortable with any dog type. Big, small, friendly, shy, energetic, lazy- you name it! I can handle any breed, from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. I can tire out your energetic pooch, or sit down and relax with your fur baby, and make them feel safe and comfortable. My mother also had her own dog walking business, and I thought that with the experience I gained helping her, I could start to help my local friends in the Niagara Region! CATS: I understand that cats need care tailored to their unique personalities - whether that means quiet companionship, playful interaction, or just sticking to their routines. I'm patient and attentive, making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable in their own space. What sets me apart is my ability to read their body language, respect their boundaries and build trust at their pace, so even shy or independent cats feel cared for. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand their quirks and routines! I do work full-time, so I offer pet care part-time during the evening and weekends. This gives me the perfect balance to dedicate focused, quality time to your pets. I make sure each visit, walk or overnight stay fits smoothly into my routine, so your dog or cat gets reliable, consistent care without me being rushed or distracted. ***If you live close by, I can fit in a lunchtime dog walk/feed between 12-1 or 1-2! *** When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect as my own. I will follow your routines closely to make sure your dog or cat feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether its walks, feeding or crate time, I’ll provide reliable, loving care while keeping your home secure.

About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. Since then I ran another rescue as well. In total, we have saved 600 dogs off the streets and shelters of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left running dog rescues in 2024 as we welcomed our new son, but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 3 rescue dogs total: 1. Carolina Dog (named KD) 2. Husky (Pretzel) 3. American Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily, and in the summer months we spend all day outside! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities, along with a good bone marrow or pig accessory to chew on, with permission from you! Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is always home, unless stepping out for the occasional appointment. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as needle injections. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Our son is very exposed to dogs seeing as so many come and go, he treats them with respect and if your dog is not comfortable around children we keep them completely separate. Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home almost every day, doing night shifts and sleeping the morning, and usually does afternoon/evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard! Concrete blocks around the edges to avoid any escaping/digging. Our dogs are rescues and are kept separate from boarding dogs! They are lazy and tend to prefer to lounge during the day giving us extra time with your pup. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats can roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie rooms" (bedroom with our son/our bedroom.
About: I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. I spent several years working professionally in horse care and also have extensive experience with farm sitting and pet care. I currently volunteer with the Niagara SPCA & Humane Society, where I help care for and walk dogs when I can and volunteer at the cat shelter. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. My weekday mornings committed to other work until around noon. I’m happy to provide afternoon, evening, overnight, and weekend care depending on availability. Your pets will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I’d want for my own. I am available early morning, afternoons and evenings most days, and will always try to help on short notice. Hope to hear from you soon. Trustworthy, reliable and caring for your pets like they are my own. With regular updates and photos for your peace of mind while in my care.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. We cared for our dog for 12.5 wonderful years, including supporting him through diabetes for the last 1.5 years of his life. Through daily walks, medication routines, and lots of love, we learned how deeply meaningful caring for a dog truly is. After losing him, we miss the joy that dogs bring—walking, cuddling, and the unconditional love they share. Pet sitting allows us to give that love and care back to other families. Daily walks are always included in our fee and we will cater the length to whatever your dog is used to. Walks/Drop in visits: I work a rotating schedule and have many weekdays off. Please message to check availability! We walk nearly every weeknight anyways so we would love to incorporate dogs into our routine. Boarding: we both work full time in the office 4 days a week. Dogs must be able to be left alone in the day on weekdays. Weeknights and weekends we are both home. We would love to spend our evenings and weekends caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, weekend drop-ins, or overnight stays here at our home, your dog will be treated like family. We are a child-free, pet-free, smoke-free home, offering a calm and stress-free environment. Our property is fully fenced and includes a built-in ramp (see photo), making it ideal for dogs with mobility or stair challenges. My husband and I used to walk our own dog every single day, and he’ll be joining me in caring for the dogs who stay or visit. Between us, your pet will always have someone attentive, gentle, and experienced looking after them. We would be honoured to care for your pet and give them a loving home-away-from-home
“Emily has continued to be a constant and reliable caregiver for our dog Woody. She is always available and flexible to accommodate us. I feel like she loves woody like we do and she provides us with amazing feedback and suggestions on how to help Woody be the best boy possible. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog. Emily is dedicated, insightful and caring. Thank you Emily !!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years, with experience looking after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from home. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting and boarding, giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, walks, companionship, and a comfortable home environment. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I take the time to follow their usual schedule and make them feel as relaxed as possible. Your pet will be treated like one of my own with patience, affection, and plenty of care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’m available 24/7, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, sitting, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m happy to discuss their usual routine, feeding times, walks, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and at home. My priority is making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I provide a calm, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and boundaries so they receive the care that’s right for them. I’m attentive to their well-being throughout their stay and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. I also believe communication with pet parents is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I also have a very big fenced in yard
About: I've been taking care of dogs, and my pet's in general for maybe more than 10 years. I was the only one in the house responsible for that since I wanted to have a pet and after that I had the chance to take care of my neighbors and Friends dogs when they were away and they always had a great experience with me and my family. at my place you bed will be well take care of and there's always going to be someone there to play with them and it had a great time with your dog walking playing or socializing with the kids and maybe other pets if they're available that day I'm at home all day, so no need to worry; your pet will have my full attention. My kids and husband are also always around, taking care of the dogs, so you can rest assured when I'm not there. We are a very loving family who will be taking care of your pet all the time. Your pet will have at least 3 to 4 walks a day and playtime many times a day. I work some weekends, and if that's the case when I'm taking care of your pet, you could expect them to be alone for 4 to 8 hours that day, which means 2 walks that day. Once your pet is at my place I will schedule a routine where we could go out three or four times a day and one more time before we I'll go to bed it will have play time and running time around the neighborhood I could drive him to a park close by so he can be safe and always be watched by me so you don't have to be worried about that. I own a dog as well, medium size, very friendly and playful, not neutered, so your pet will have company during the day 😊
“Hazel had a great time walking with Veronica. She was very kind and patient with my dog during her walk. Veronica fulfilled a last min request and handled my dog very well. Hazel came back home tired and very happy! I am booking Veronica again today and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Eileen and Our golden became instant friends. It’s so evident that Eileen is a true pet lover. She’s kind, gentle and enjoys what she does. We were so impressed we’ve already booked her services for an upcoming dog sit.”

“We are overjoyed with the exceptional care that Sydney provided to our two beloved female beagles during their recent stay in her home. From the moment we met Sydney, it was evident that she has a deep love and understanding of dogs, and she treated ours as if they were her own. Sydney welcomed our girls, along with her friendly dog Jessie, into her home with open arms and a genuine warmth that immediately put us at ease. It was heartwarming to receive regular updates and photos, showing our dogs happily playing and relaxing together in Sydney's comfortable and safe environment. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our dogs felt at home was remarkable. Sydney's home was immaculate and perfectly set up for dogs, with plenty of space for them to roam and play. It was clear that she prioritized their well-being and happiness throughout their stay. When we picked up our beagles, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time under Sydney's care. We cannot thank Sydney enough for her dedication and love she showed towards our pets. We wholeheartedly recommend Sydney to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog boarder. Thank you, Sydney, for providing such a loving home away from home for our girls!”
“I left my dog Skye with Jeff for a night and he had such a great time! He sent me lots of photos and videos, and Skye looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. He got tons of walks and was really well taken care of. Communication with Jeff was great and super responsive and easy to talk to. Definitely will be booking again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I am so glad I chose Max to board my dog, Blu, for two nights! I was a bit nervous, but Max made the entire experience easy and stress-free. He kept me updated with great photos of Blu, which gave me total peace of mind. Blu was extremely well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Max!”
“Iggy had a great stay with Robyn and Cory. They were really great at communicating during his stay and even sent me some pictures! I felt very confident leaving him overnight and will definitely be using their services again!!”
“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”
“I was dealing with a lot preparing my house to host a funeral reception. I contacted Quintelle and she responded very shortly and accepted to host Bailey for a night!! Bailey had such fun time with Quintelle and received a 5-star treatment. She went for walks and played in the backyard and had a good night sleep. I received many photos of her from Quintelle. When I picked her up next day she was happy and tired. We will definitely come back 🙏🏼❤️”
“Meagan took awesome care of our little Mille. Right from the moment we met Meagan and her family we knew Mille would love staying with them. We plan to have Meagan take care of our dog again.”
“Valerie did such a great job taking care of my senior pup! She communicated well, was super sweet, and very understanding about the extra care a senior pup needs. I could tell Skip was in the best hands while I was away! I definitely recommend Valerie to any dog parent:)”
“Courtney and Allan were so great with our dog, Oliver! Over his 3-day stay, they took him for many walks, gave him lots of cuddles and were very communicative and sent lots of photos. He genuinely looked at home with them and it was so lovely to see. I’m sure that Oliver is excited for his next stay with Courtney and Allan!”
“Samantha and her family were amazing with my two golden retrievers for ten days! I got lots of updates and pictures. They were so happy and when they got home they weren't upset or anxious at all. You could tell they recevied lots of love while we were gone and had a great time. Thanks Samantha!!!”
“Miryam took amazing care of cooper! She sent lots of photos and kept us updated during his stay which helped put us at ease. Cooper didn't want to leave! Highly recommend Miryam and will be using her again :)”
“Naomi and Sam kept in contact with me while boarding my dog for 10+ days! My dog was pampered with lots of pets and had daily exercise! Would highly recommend Sam and Naomi to anybody!”
“Charlene took great care of our Gracie for a day and overnight while we were out of town. We were fortunate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice! Charlene also sent us lots of pictures and some videos where we could tell that Gracie was having lots of fun playing with her own dog Dora, as well as some downtime resting with Dora. We would definitely be happy leaving Gracie again in Charlene’s care.”
“Karen and Jorge were very easy to schedule a stay for my Yorkie Olly. They were interested in making sure he was safe and well cared for. The photos they sent were a very good indicator that Olly felt right at home. The environment is clean and safe and obviously full of love for my Olly. He came home tired from something in spite of the fact they are in an apartment. I will definitely request additional stays for Olly. Karen and Jorge are very kind and caring!! Thanks to them both….”

“Melanie has been boarding my German shepherd River for several months now, and she’s simply just the BEST! She’s very professional, kind and caring, and accommodating. River is always excited to go there to hang out with her dog Tulo and her kids. It’s a huge load off my mind that he’s being well looked after for both short and long stays. Thanks so much for all you do Melanie!”
About: I have always had a deep love and passion for dogs, which is why caring for them is not just a responsibility for me but a true joy. My golden retriever, Hazel, has taught me so much about the unique personalities and needs that each dog has, and I cherish every moment I spend with her. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing together, I find immense happiness in being around dogs. I am committed to providing the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after, treating them as if they were my own I am available to pet care on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the days in the week I have work. Some days are exception and we can discuss that. The very first stage is to build trust with the dog by providing care. From energetic puppies to older dogs needing gentle care, I’m comfortable and confident in providing the appropriate level of attention and activity each dog requires.
