Our dog had a great stay with Sheilagh and Teresa-- and we loved getting the pictures to show it. Sheilagh was quick to respond and went over and above in their care for our dog (a husky with lots of energy). Thanks for the great care, Sheilagh and Teresa!

I was so happy to find Loghan - he was amazing with Lizzy. She had loads of dogs to play with and was well looked after. Loghan was really communicative and responsive. He was also a lifesaver when our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get home. Knowing that Liz was happy and safe made a stressful situation much easier. We’d have no problem recommending Loghan to anyone.

Shae was an amazing sitter! She sent updates on Kitty so I could see how he was doing throughout the stay. She even put on cat tv to keep him company when she left for work. Super thoughtful! I will definitely book again with Shae and would recommend her as a sitter. Thanks again Shae

Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my older, reactive dog and handled everything with skill and kindness. Her experience with dogs really shows — Lollie was comfortable, happy, and even a little sad to see her go! Rhonda stayed at my home and left it spotless — so clean and tidy you wouldn’t have even known anyone had stayed. I have complete peace of mind leaving Lollie in her care and will definitely be inviting her back next time!

Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!

About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.

About: My name is Toby (yes, that in itself is a dog's name).. I love all animals but given my lifestyle and pet experiences (over 40 years) most of my experience is with domestic dogs and cats - mostly rescues. Our family home always had a pet - be it a dog, cat or both...our first family dog was 'BINGO' - a minature collie - we loved him so much. He was part of our life for over 14 years. My mom was the 'dog decision maker' in the house and everyone else in the family adored and pitched in as needed to ensure the pet had the best quality of life. We had a variety of rescues - a greyhound, black lab and now we have a rat terrier and a beagle mutt. I've also always lived with 1 or 2 domestic cats. I've had many of my own cats over the years ...all of my cats have been rescues: Libby, Macho, Nuts, Boltz, and Danny. Our cats and dogs have always co-existed with no issues - it's about the humans and proper integration. Bottom line, I have to have pets around me - they bring so much joy. I want to provide a calm, safe, comfortable loving experience for each pet I am responsible for be it walking, home visit, taxi service, home boarding etc.... UPDATE AS OF MARCH 2022: I recently moved to Peterborough. My house is located 1 block from the Peterborough Regional Hospital so my hope is to provide direct support to those in need of pet care while they are in hospital or a friend /loved one is. I will be providing 'emergency' pet care service - last minute bookings for those in need that meet scope of care requirements. Often it's a big stressor not knowing how their pet (small dog) is going to be cared for when in hospital ( often an unexpected situation) be it over night or for an extended period of time. In addition, I am now a licensed/insured Certified PSW (Centennial College). While my interests and services are based around dog care/support , I can supplement with PSW abulatory, lower needs personal support/companion care. My home (single family dwelling with large fenced yard in quiet area) will have 2 fully furnished bedrooms and a full washroom set up for qualified family members/friends of those who may have loved ones hospital and need a place nearby. (Not appropriate senario for those with any pet allergies or intolerances as there will always be a dog and possibly cats on site) We will be accepting emergency accommodation needs for up to 4 adults people ( Maximum 2 guests per room). Unfortunately, we do not accept children/teens under 18 years of age and no dogs over 30 lbs. (Sorry) Upon registration/on-boarding, all human guests must show valid proof of Covid-19 vaccination (both doses) and be supportive of implementing in-home hand-washing best practices and non surgical mask wearing when necessary should there be an immune compromised guests. In addition, valid government ID must be provided (Passport, Driver's License) at check in as part of the registration process. Please note: This is a non-smoking/vaping/cannabis home (inside or anywhere on exterior property). We live a healthy lifestyle so the focus any food and beveragr items offered will be vegetarian based. Special dietary needs cannot be offered at this point in time but as we grow and can bring on the appropriate trained staff, we can start customizing meals/snacks etc. A simple daily menu with prices of will be posted so guests are aware of what's available should they be interested. No weapons are permitted anywhere on the property at anytime including registered guns or similar ammunition. FOOD/BEVERAGE/SNACKS: We will be offering healthy cost effective light food items, meals (eat in or to-go) between 7 am and 6 pm. For those that may have any type of food intolerance or food allergies, please be advised that any food item offered/ prepared may include any of the known food allergens - including nuts, eggs, dairy/milk, soy, honey, wheat. ----------------------- We allow the pets to wander freely around the main floor of the house during the day and have set up a 'pet spa hotel' area in the lower level of the home which has a variety of comfy pet beds and other pet luxuries ensuring safety first at all times. We have pet cams set up so we always have visibility to the pet areas of the house be it inside or outside. The home is fully air conditioned. Outside what the pet owner has outlined and delegated, we do not provide pet food or treats during their stay to avoid any digestive /medical issues. Wr do not let dogs off leash at any time. We do not take pets into off leash dog parks. Some other requests to ensure the site remains as safe and tidy as possible at all times: Please bring your pet clean & dry. Please bring along your vet signed /dated certificate of vaccines to the meet and greet or submit in an alternative way i.e. photo - text, scan and email prior to arrival. The home is safe, quiet, clean and relaxing...the pets bring life to it - each one is unique - each day will be different but always fun, relaxed and follow instructions provided by pet owners. Thank you, Toby and Miss Veronica We will be available between Oct 17 2022 and Dec 31 2022. Our hope is to support the the local regional hospital as a priority - emergency stays to help those in dire need. For day care/boarding we have a fully-fenced in yard that is accessible when weather permits. We have a lovely neighborhood to walk the dogs on leash. (sidewalks/quiet)

She spent a week with my dog while I was on vacation and not only took great care of him, but my home as well - she went above and beyond. She was extremely communicative and even sent me photos while I was away and it looked like they had a great time. My dog has some trust issues and Rhonda really managed him well. He seemed to really like her and let down his guard. Thank you so much again Rhonda, you were fantastic! We look forward to seeing you again. :)
