“Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!

About: We are a dog-loving, active couple who are all about fun walks, belly rubs, and tail-wagging adventures. With us, your pup will get plenty of playtime, exercise, and care—guaranteeing happy, tired tails by the end of the day! We have a garden that is fenced on three sides and we are located off the street on a quiet private lot. We are close to walking trails and are near to the beach. We have access to a car for pickup and drop off, going on longer adventures, or emergencies. Our schedule isn't fixed and therefore there will be some weekdays available, usually Mondays free. The evenings are often free with pickup available in the city center after 6:00pm. The weekends are much more flexible but we are willing to work with you! We also love snacks and walks so sharing these activities with your dog will be a blast! We will cater to your specific walking and feeding requirements just as you would. We only take dogs from the same home so there's no risk of new friends not getting along. We can usually accommodate pickup and drop off and have a car in case of emergency.

Sarah and family have a nice hobby farm where the dogs can roam. My Murphy had lots of outdoor time and got along well with the other dogs at Sarah's. Sarah sent photos and texts to let me know how things were going, which I really appreciated. I would certainly recommend Sarah and her family to look after your beloved pet.
