“Pancake had the best day ever with Michael and Mavis! They played with her and cuddled her and she got to run outside in the fresh snow… all her favourite things. They had no trouble feeding her dinner and giving her medication. Pancake gives them a 4 out of 4 paws. We would definitely leave Pancake with Michael and Mavis again!”
“Natasha was very friendly, professional and easygoing with booking and accommodating Bruce as a puppy. She gave me an update on how he was doing that reassured me he was in good hands. Bruce got one-on-one attention and care by someone who clearly loves dogs and I am thankful. He had a safe yard to sniff around in and a warm person to cuddle with. Have already rebooked and will continue to do so.”
“Leo seemed to have so much fun with Akanksha throughout the day. She sent a lot of photos and videos which I loved! Leo came back tired after all the fun playtime he had and slept instantly. Would recommend her and will definitely use the service again. Thank you 😊”

“Julie was fantastic! So accommodating and responsive! She agreed to take care of our 13 year old Jack Russell with less than 24 hours notice, and was very engaging and professional throughout the process. She sent pictures showing him playing and also relaxed and comfortable with her. My husband said that our dog seemed so happy when he went to pick him up. We really hope to work with her again in the future!”
“I LOVE these two so much! 😭❤️ Marivic and Benjamin are the sweetest humans and helped me out with a last minute booking. They even made time to meet me and Ody late at night to make sure I was comfortable. They sent lots of photos and kept me updated on how Ody was doing. I appreciated how much they cared about making this a stress-free experience for me. Thank you both so so much. I look forward to seeing you both again soon! :)”
“Melissa is one of the few sitters who truest understand what a dog needs (structure, routine, boundary, safety and comfort). My dog 3yo standard poodle who is very timid and anxious when going out is able to find comfort in her calm presence and company. During the daycare, Melissa is also communicative and responds to messages right away which makes me feel very safe to trust my dog with her. She also is willing to adjust to my dog’s specific needs. Will definitely recommend her!”

These two are super kind and friendly! Love them! Thank you for watching Ody! He gets pretty overstimulated outdoors when he’s in a new environment so I was happy to hear everything went well and kept me informed about how he was doing. Appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day. Would absolutely book again. Thank youuuu :)

Benjamin was absolutely wonderful to deal with. He was very responsive and flexible. He was very kind to George, took him for walks, and sent me photos and video. He's in a great location right downtown, with good access to dog parks and outdoor areas. I would absolutely use him again. I fully recommend him.
Kiana was very kind and loving with my dog, George. She was responsive, flexible and very accommodating of my evolving schedule. She kept me updated with photos and reports, which was very reassuring. I will use her whenever she is available and highly recommend her to others.
