“Chris was fantastic with my Lab. He was very professional and provided daily updates. I felt confident that my pet was being well taken care of in his home.”

Mary-Lynne B.

“Kim is a great dog sitter who really cares about the dogs in her care. I received photos, videos and updates throughout they’re stay with her which allowed me to truly enjoy my time away for a family celebration of my granddaughter’s wedding”

Lorraine C.

“Nikol is absolutely amazing! I know how much my dog 'Buddy' enjoyed his time at her home because he was so excited when we picked him up... but exhausted on the way home. I was told he ran around and played with her dog all day. I really appreciated the messages and photos from Nikol about what he got up to, it made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the day! Would definitely book her again and highly recommend her.”

Kendall K.

“I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Absolutely nop notch and phenomenal. Updates and an absolute joy for us and the dogs (obviously). If you want the right people this is the spot. I would use again in a heartbeat, without question. Amazing.”

“My little one Rigby stayed at Jennifer’s for two days. Jennifer kept us up to date throughout the stay and we had peace of mind the whole time we were away. When we picked her up she was in very good spirit, very happy to see me though, but also very at home at Jennifer’s home, telling me she had a good time away from home and was well cared for. Huge thank you!”

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.

“Pam was wonderful with Kalie; I highly recommend her. She kept in contact throughout her stay and sent many pictures of Kalie which put my mind at ease. Kalie takes daily meds and when she would take her pills in the morning Pam was able to pill her iwhich was a great relief. Not to mention that she left the house super clean — which I completely appreciate. Thanks Pam!”

About: It can be so difficult to find somewhere you feel comfortable with to leave your pets. We treat your dogs as our own! We have two small Boston terriers who are both spayed and good with other dogs (aged 11 and 8). Lot's of affection, love, and care is given to our animals, and we have a country home with lot's of space and property for exercise and fetch! I work from home so am available to be home with your dog to be let out often. Feel free to reach out if you want to schedule a meet and greet! I currently work from home so am available to let dogs out frequently. We do travel from time to time but will list my availability accordingly. My dogs are not crated, however we are happy to use a crate if this is how your dog is trained. 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. We do have a fence at the road of the property however this is not completely enclosed, so I would be putting the dog on a long rope or lead to be safe. I am out in the country with a large yard and bush, but do not leave the dogs unattended outside for any period of time-supervision always. We understand that every dog is taken care of differently and will follow whatever guidelines you are wanting for your pet.

“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!”

Claire v.

“Ashley was incredibly accommodating with an out-of-the-norm pick-up times and with a last minute booking. Her property has plenty of space for the dogs to play and my dog loved spending time with her pups. She was very communicative and stayed in touch over the weekend. Only downside - my pup came home smelling quite strongly of cigarette smoke. Other than that, would book again!”

Courtney G.

About: Hello! I’ve been taking care of friends’ pets and houses since I was a teenager. I’ve also had two dogs of my own, volunteer at animal sanctuaries and a dog rescue. I’m an ultra animal lover; so far as to being vegan. I’m a home owner and have a large, fully fenced backyard for dogs to play in, and live on a beautiful quiet street, great for walks. I love to clean and organize spaces, so if I’m house sitting, and you’d like a little extra treat to come home to, I can add that service on! I have trained puppies and dogs to do fun tricks, and will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I’m a TV producer and between projects at the moment, so I’m looking for some extra work to offset my down time. Weekends are my most flexible days, but week nights and the odd weekday here and there are definitely options, too! I currently don’t have any dogs, but my upstairs tenants have two cats. My yard is fully fenced for dogs to romp around; it’s quite large and mostly lawn. My neighbourhood is also perfect for walks; which I love to go on with or without a doggo. Your pets will be like my own for the hours I’m with them. They’ll still miss you, but they won’t be without love while you’re away!

“Nicole was so great with watching our dog, Jagger! Knowing that Jagger is super shy, she was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to picking her up which was super helpful! She was responsive and super flexible with our schedule! It was obvious that Nicole loves dogs so it was easy to leave our Jagger with her!”

Corinne C.

“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!”

Jess D.

“Harley absolutely loved her weekend stay with Katie! The photos, videos and constant updates were amazing and made us feel so comfortable knowing that Harley was in good hands. Katie's place is the perfect vacation spot for any dog who loves meeting new friends. It is like a giant dog park! We will be back for sure.”

“Maureen was a great sitter for our dog Missy. Missy was with her for 4 nights and 4 days and Maureen had taken great care of her, from feedings to playing outside to even going above and beyond by bathing her. I will recommend Maureen to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

Danielle A.

“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with Margot! She took incredible care of her, including taking her on a great walk and perfectly handling her insulin routine. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Margot was in such responsible, caring hands. Highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter!”

I train them most of my day and spend time with them Until they fall asleep. I have full time availability. I always have my pets On a leash when outside.

About: I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats and hairless/Sphynx cats, as well as cats who need medication or extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, medications, routines, indoor/outdoor access and each cat’s individual personality. I know cats can be particular about their space, schedule and people, so I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and low stress as possible. Whether a cat is social, shy, independent, senior, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe and settled while they're in my care. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your cat, their routine, their care needs and any other important details ahead of time.

“Jacobe is very kind and great at communicating with you. He always gets back to us and provided videos from his first visit. He came by for a meet and greet beforehand at no charge and it’s obvious he loves and has experience with animals. Thank you, Jacobe!”

“Davrielle was amazing with my 2 fur babies! During the week I was gone, I received daily communications and pictures/videos from Davrielle, letting me know my 2 cats were taken care of. Davrielle's tone of voice to my cats in the videos was so sweet, making it easy for my cat with anxiety to feel more comfortable with her each day. My cats also get daily medications and 1 gets a puffer each morning, so the attention to detail and care Davrielle took was so very appreciated. I came back to a clean apartment - and Davrielle had even re-washed the bedding/towels! I would highly recommend Davrielle to any pet owners. Thank you Davrielle! - Holly & Maow”

About: I have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful kittens to senior or shy cats. I respect each cat’s individual needs and routines, ensuring a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. I am comfortable administering medications, maintaining clean litter areas, feeding on schedule, and providing gentle companionship to build trust. I focus on creating a peaceful home where cats feel secure and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I naturally form a bond with cats—they often love me right away, and I feel a genuine connection, treating each one as if they were my own. I can also provide references or links to previous client reviews for peace of mind.

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well.

“Chris was very accommodating with Hudson. I could tell when I picked Hudson up that he was happy with his temporary big brother as he was in no hurry to leave! I would recommend Chris to any other Rover client. I would not hesitate to book with Chris again when I’m back in the area.”

About: We’re a dog loving family of four with pugs and a St. Bernese! Our kids love all dogs and can’t wait to give cuddles and snuggles to all their new friends! I am a recess and lunch supervisor at school so I only work 40 minutes two times a day! I'm home a lot to give your dog(s) plenty of playtime and attention! We have a big backyard and I always supervise the dogs when they are out for their playtime! We also have a big front yard where I do short leash walks and live on a quiet gravel road for much longer leash walks. Dogs can be crated at night if that's the usual routine, or have their choice of beds to sleep in - my kids LOVE when dogs choose to cuddle with them at night!

About: My husband and I own a beautiful 100-acre farm in Grey Highlands, 40-minutes from Arthur, and about a 60-minute commute from the GTA. Both of us are avid animal lovers, who are 'addicted' to rescuing. We are a foster family for Sato Saved Dog Rescue out of Brantford, ON and occasionally have foster dogs in our care. Dog-Sitting History... - Worked at Countryside Boarding & Grooming for three years - I have been dogsitting family and friend's dogs since 2013 - Both of us have a combined 16-years experience with dogs A Little About Us... - My husband is a Heavy-Equipment Mechanic out of the GTA - I am a Graphic Designer who works from home full-time - We have a pack of seven rescue dogs - We have six dog-savvy indoor/outdoor cats - Our property is partially fenced (not ideal for flight risk dogs) - We have two large ponds on the property - Lots of space for dogs to run around and play Routine... - First potty time is 4:00 am when my husband leaves for work (this is optional) - Second potty time is between 7:30 am and 8:00 am, and they are let out for an hour - Lunchtime potty is around 12:00 pm, and they are let out for an hour - Dinner time is between 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm - Bedtime potty is between 11:00 pm - 12:00 am *Throughout the day, the dogs are let out as they want, with many short breaks throughout the day. Outside duration is also determined by weather, if it's really gross out - the time will be shortened. *Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate any un-fixed dogs (male & female) over the age of 6-months - No Acceptions* Meet-and-Greets... Before a new dog comes into our care, we request that we do one to two meet-and-greets. This gives us the chance to meet you and your dog and see the chemistry / energy with our pack. This also gives you a chance to see our home, property, and meet our dogs. Incidents & Accidents... We believe in 100% transparency when we have dogs in our care. We never want anything to happen when your dog(s) are in our care, but, we always say they are children with teeth. Disagreements can happen, but we do our best to avoid any of that behaviour. When your dog(s) are here, we will give you day-to-day updates; whether it be on their eating habits, bowel movements, upset stomachs, accidents in the house, and even scratches and cuts. We want you to have absolute trust in us, while your dog(s) are with us. Outdoor Safety... For the most part, when dogs are a part of a pack they stick together. However, this isn't always the case should a dog like to wonder OR not have the best recall. In these situations, we like to leash the dog until they gain our trust - we use a long lead, and as they continue their stay here we work on using the leash less and less. We have had a lot of success with this, but each dog is different and we treat them as such! Home Environment... - Dogs sleep in our mudroom at the back of our house* - Small crates can be accomodated, but they are not necessary - We have lots of blankets & beds in the mudroom - Dogs are permitted on our furniture on the main floor (couches) - The mudroom acts as a 'holding area' when they are muddy or wet *Dogs are thoroughly tested in our mudroom prior to bedtime, to make sure that there are no issues, toys are removed at bedtime as well. Typically, the dogs are so tired at the end of the day that bedtime goes off without a hitch. Cleaning Routine... We take great pride in our home, and cleanliness is very important not only for ourselves but for our animals' well-being as well. I use Nature's Miracle Stain & Odour Remover + Vinegar and Water to clean floors and walls. This is done frequently as I have a little OCD regarding the cleanliness of the home. This is done both during dog visits and after each dog visit.

“Ashley was so great with my dog Cas! I had a late cancellation and needed a sitter fast! Ashley replied right away! she kept me updated on my dog while he was in her care, which was a huge relief to me. I’ve never left my dog with anyone but family before and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog will be with her and her furry babies all day! I completely recommend her as your fur baby’s sitter. If you’re looking for kind, knowledgeable and a supportive caretaker and friend for your furry family member than look no further than this Great gal!”

Lily N.

“Natalie was amazing with Casper! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took him on walks, made sure he was fed, spent lots of time playing with him, and even let him cool off in a kiddie pool and took him to the bay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and having a fun day. I would absolutely trust Natalie with Casper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter or walker. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾”

Elizabeth J.

About: I grew up with many pets in my house - 3 dogs and 2 cats! I went for daily walks with the dogs in my local ravine growing up. Each dog having it's own very unique personality and quirks provided me with a breadth of experience. I believe obedience and rules are the foundation of a well behaved dog. As well, a well exercised dog is a well behaved dog. Structure is very important and I will always make a dog work for their treat. I try to continue any on-going training for the dogs I am walking or sitting. I was finally able to get my own dog as an adult - who I have had since 2021. I rescued my dog, Arlo, when he was ~4 months, and have given him a loving home since! I worked with a trainer when I got to him and learned a lot about dog (and human) behaviours. I am home during the days with a flexible schedule, so walks at any time of the day can work. Generally a morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon walk are the preferred times. I currently have daily mid-day regulars that I walk. Depending on the dogs personality and suitability with other dogs, I walk with a pack or individually. If a dog is staying with me, I take them on a walk first thing if their owner hasn't already done so. This way, they are starting on the best foot forward. I have a dog at home, so I do an intro of the dogs on 'neutral' territory, there is a laneway and Bruce trail across from so I ask that their owner does a quick walk with the dogs and myself. I do potty breaks every 0-2 hours, either to go on a short walk, or ball throw. I also do 5-10 minute training sessions to keep the dogs entertained and stimulated. I also ask that the dogs bed and an article of clothing of the owners comes with them, so they have a space that is their own and familiar. This will help the dog settle in. Favourite toys or treats are also recommended.

“Shorty spent a day with Christina and her darling older pup. He loved her fenced yard, attention and the calm environment. We have another day booked for this week.”

“Tucker came home happy and tired. We needed a get-away and he needed to play with another dog. We all ended up happy! Deborah made Tuck very welcome and her relaxed manner reassured me that she and Tucker would get along fine. I am so happy we found her!”

I’m attentive to details, comfortable following care instructions and careful about monitoring changes in behaviour, appetite, energy, mobility or comfort. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your pets, their routines, their care needs and any important details ahead of time. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while making sure their pets feel safe, cared for and settled at home! I am self-employed, so I have flexible availability and pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine.

My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their own home and regular routine while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I provide care in the client’s home, so my focus is on keeping pets safe, comfortable and settled in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, medication, litter care, playtime, companionship, and bedtime routines. Before a booking, I like to review care instructions, health needs, emergency contacts, vet information, home access details and any household routines. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, food, medications and anything that could affect a pet’s safety.

I am outgoing and bubbly and I always love to help out and I would love the experience to help you out with your pets. I spend most of my day with my puppies and I’m outside a lot. I train them most of my day and spend time with them Until they fall asleep. I have full time availability. I always have my pets On a leash when outside. I also take them for lots of walks and I go to the dog park a lot.

About: With over 20 years of dog sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand canine behavior and body language, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and happy environment for every dog. Dependable, patient, and loving, I treat each dog as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less. Dog sitting and dog walking are a seamless part of my daily life, not a side job. My days are built around consistent schedules, regular walks, feeding times, play, and companionship, making it easy to give each dog the attention and structure they need. Daily walks aren’t rushed—they’re a chance for exercise, enrichment, and connection. Because caring for dogs is woven into my routine, they receive reliable, calm, and attentive care that feels familiar and stress-free. For me, it’s simply how I live—sharing my days with dogs and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for dogs in their own homes to keep their routines consistent and stress-free. I follow each dog’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, paying close attention to their individual needs and personalities. Daily walks are tailored to energy level and age, and I provide companionship, enrichment, and calm supervision throughout the visit. I also handle medication if needed, maintain food and water areas, clean up after walks, and keep the home tidy. By caring for dogs in familiar surroundings, I help them feel secure, comfortable, and well loved while their owners are away.

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

“Nikol is absolutely amazing! I know how much my dog 'Buddy' enjoyed his time at her home because he was so excited when we picked him up... but exhausted on the way home. I was told he ran around and played with her dog all day. I really appreciated the messages and photos from Nikol about what he got up to, it made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the day! Would definitely book her again and highly recommend her.”

“My little one Rigby stayed at Jennifer’s for two days. Jennifer kept us up to date throughout the stay and we had peace of mind the whole time we were away. When we picked her up she was in very good spirit, very happy to see me though, but also very at home at Jennifer’s home, telling me she had a good time away from home and was well cared for. Huge thank you!”

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.

“Pam was wonderful with Kalie; I highly recommend her. She kept in contact throughout her stay and sent many pictures of Kalie which put my mind at ease. Kalie takes daily meds and when she would take her pills in the morning Pam was able to pill her iwhich was a great relief. Not to mention that she left the house super clean — which I completely appreciate. Thanks Pam!”

“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!”

Claire v.

“Ashley was incredibly accommodating with an out-of-the-norm pick-up times and with a last minute booking. Her property has plenty of space for the dogs to play and my dog loved spending time with her pups. She was very communicative and stayed in touch over the weekend. Only downside - my pup came home smelling quite strongly of cigarette smoke. Other than that, would book again!”

About: Hello! I’ve been taking care of friends’ pets and houses since I was a teenager. I’ve also had two dogs of my own, volunteer at animal sanctuaries and a dog rescue. I’m an ultra animal lover; so far as to being vegan. I’m a home owner and have a large, fully fenced backyard for dogs to play in, and live on a beautiful quiet street, great for walks. I love to clean and organize spaces, so if I’m house sitting, and you’d like a little extra treat to come home to, I can add that service on! I have trained puppies and dogs to do fun tricks, and will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I’m a TV producer and between projects at the moment, so I’m looking for some extra work to offset my down time. Weekends are my most flexible days, but week nights and the odd weekday here and there are definitely options, too! I currently don’t have any dogs, but my upstairs tenants have two cats. My yard is fully fenced for dogs to romp around; it’s quite large and mostly lawn. My neighbourhood is also perfect for walks; which I love to go on with or without a doggo. Your pets will be like my own for the hours I’m with them. They’ll still miss you, but they won’t be without love while you’re away!

“Nicole was so great with watching our dog, Jagger! Knowing that Jagger is super shy, she was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to picking her up which was super helpful! She was responsive and super flexible with our schedule! It was obvious that Nicole loves dogs so it was easy to leave our Jagger with her!”

Corinne C.

“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!”

Jess D.

“Harley absolutely loved her weekend stay with Katie! The photos, videos and constant updates were amazing and made us feel so comfortable knowing that Harley was in good hands. Katie's place is the perfect vacation spot for any dog who loves meeting new friends. It is like a giant dog park! We will be back for sure.”

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. Please note we require a meet and greet first before agreeing to take care of your dog. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to hear from you! Natalie 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.

About: I have 14+ years with pets of all kinds, most of my experience comes from having family pets growing up, pet sitting friends and other peoples pets (and kids), and my highschool job at PetSmart (3 years). I’ve dog sat for people before and frequently help watch my friends pets and my family cavalier spaniels when my parents are away. I have experience with all sorts of small pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc.), reptiles (tree frogs, bearded dragons, geckos, etc.), fish (fresh water and saltwater), and of course cats and dogs! I am comfortable around all breeds, cat or dog, and I don’t believe in bully breeds. I love cuddle time! I love to sit in bed or on the couch with my furry friends all around me! I also love to play fetch with other people’s dogs (or cats), since my own dogs never seemed to grasp the concept of “bring the toy back”.

“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Aletta while we were out of town. Easy communication, friendly, flexible. No concerns. Our dog would definitely stay with Aletta again.”
