“We were a little concerned about leaving our boys as Haley and Mark, with our prior permission, had also agreed to take two other dogs at the same time and one of them didn’t like one of ours. But things went really well, and Haley and Mark made sure to keep us informed as how everyone was doing and put our fears to rest! We would certainly use them again, paws down! ☺️🐾”


“My dog Hank had a great time with Catherine & Douglas! They sent lots of pictures with him playing with their boys, swimming, and relaxing in the yard. I wasn’t sure he was going to want to come home after his doggie holiday. :) Would 100% recommend!”


“Jessica was great with Kira! I felt confident in leaving her there, she was very quick in responding and Kira was happy after a couple of days with Jessica. Its great she has a fenced yard where dogs can roam around safely.”


“Your service was amazing thank you so much for looking after our dog buddy you did a fabulous job I loved that you were so calm and polite and thoughtful and honest and trustworthy Thank you so much for looking after our dog buddy He loved every minute we will definitely hire you again thank you so much.”


“Adam and Isabelle were amazing! They shared photos and made extra efforts to make sure Zoey ate too. I am grateful for their kindness and flexibility with changes in our bookings too.”

“Lorena and Michael took fantastic care of my husky, Nova! She’s a rescue and has some quirks, but they were great with all her needs and very communicative while we were away. Their dog Leia was very sweet and receptive to Nova’s boundaries, and Michael was very knowledgeable with dog cues and behaviour which gave me great confidence in leaving my pup with them. I would leave Nova with them again in a heartbeat! Thanks again.”


About: As a dog parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and can help with walks, feeding, meds, and play. I treat every pup like my own—with love, patience, and lots of attention. Im currently working remotely so have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pup! I have a black lab that loves to play and is always looking for a new buddy. I live close to a fenced dog park and lots of dog friendly walking trails. I have a dog of my own so I know how scary it can be to leave your fur baby but in my care they will have a furry friend as well as me.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Elise! She took amazing care of our dog, Scotty, treating him like her own. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals, and Scotty warmed up to her right away.

About: ABLE TO SUPPORT WITH LAST MINUTE REQUESTS! Message me for discounts. I've recently said goodbye to my beloved 19-year-old chiweenie. I'm not ready for a new pet just yet, but I’d love to share my time, attention, and affection with yours. I work from home two days a week and would love a furry corporate helper! I am also available for weekend care, house-sitting, drop-ins, walks and cat visits—including feeding, litter box cleaning, and quiet companionship. I’m especially comfortable with senior or anxious pets who need a gentle, calming presence. We live in a beautiful province and I often go for walks to enjoy the gorgeous views - I'd love to bring a pet along for some exercise and sightseeing! I'm happy to take care of your pet on short notice if you''re in a pinch to ensure your pet is with a trusted sitter. Just send me a quick message! I currently work Monday to Friday 830-430; however, on Wednesdays and Fridays I work from home and wouldlove to have a little corporate helper. I'm available most weekends - if you're planning a weekend getaway I'm happy to care for your pet at my home, or even if you just need a few hours of care. I live in a spacious apartment - ground floor, so its easy to step outside for a quick bathroom break. While I don't have a yard, there are some great areas to go for a walk nearby. Couches are very comfy with lots of blankets and pillows!

“Dorothy is so wonderful! I felt so at ease with her taking care of my dog. He came home happy and tired. I would highly recommend Dorothy to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”


“Kilo seems to have really enjoyed his time with Arantxa. Great communication leading up to the stay and while I was away. Really appreciate the pictures of him throughout his stay - helps to reassure that he is having a good time. So glad the two dogs got along so well!!”


“5 stars!! Our pups stayed with these lovely people during our wedding, and were taken such good care of. We got amazing updates via pictures and videos of fun walks, swims and plays, of them lounging and cuddling with new dog friends, and they both returned happier (and cleaner!) than when they left! We can not say enough good things about Alexia, she went above and beyond to ensure a safe, fun time for our dogs, as well as ease of mind for us. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely send our little fur babies here!!”
