Emily and Scott were great. They were flexible and easy to coordinate with in what would be best for my pups. They were also responsive and I was happy there were patient with my trio.

I have lots of free time to spend with your pet and I spend lots of time at home so they will never feel alone.

About: I've had pets my whole life and from a young age have had caring responsibilities such as walking, feeding, training, and of course playing! I've cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish! Since being in school I have my own pet cats and guinea pigs and have also experienced the responsibility of administering medicine and caring for them after vet visits. I am working full time while school is out for the summer, so I try to keep my calendar as updated as possible, but feel free to message for availability and I’ll be happy to accommodate as best as I can! For doggos I understand the importance of the need for walks and outdoor time, and for all animals playtime and cuddle time! For drop-ins these will be priority, along with feeding and watering of course! I try and make sure fur babies know they are loved and cared for, so I will accommodate to whatever treatment they are used to while you are away!

Gretal is wonderful and amazing. I injured my leg and couldn't do long walks with my boy. After reviewing Gretel's previous reviews, I choose her. She did not disappoint. She listened to what my dogs reactivities were, what could make him aggressive. Since he is a rescue and isn't always good around crowed areas. My dog absolutely fell in love with her on their first meet. I will absolutely choose Gretel for walks again for my dog. Very good with communication and love the updates on my Rover Card.

About: Hi! I’m a Midwifery student studying with Laurentian University. I’ve just fostered a 5 month Springer Spaniel puppy this year and absolutely loved it! I have spent the last couple months training her and she went to a great home. I’m very responsible, love animals and I am hardworking. I’m very comfortable with dogs as I’ve had a dog of my own. I’m able to take pets for walks, care for them at your house and pop in and out as need be as my schedule is very flexible. I’m very comfortable with cats and dogs, but I would be willing to learn about how to care for other animals! This would be a privilege working with your pet(s). I look forward to meeting you. Thanks for your time and consideration -Deanna S.

Scott is wonderful with my slightly crazy poodle. It was only the second walk and Murphy recognized him from the window and about lost his mind in excitement. He has come back happy and exhausted after just a half hour walk so I know he's getting a very good and quick paced walk. It's so nice to be able to entrust him to someone who my dog clearly enjoys and is giving him what he needs.

Loghan has been a great fit for my energetic doodle Charlie, who has loved getting out for his walks with the group. I was also very comfortable leaving Charlie for overnight boarding as I know he's very well cared for. Loghan is friendly, professional and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend him.

Shae was available for a last-minute booking and came the next day for a quick meet and greet with our pup. We booked two dog walks for the day, and she fed our cat and dog on the second visit. She also spent an extra 15 minutes with our dog on the second walk! Her communication was prompt and friendly. Would definitely rebook her services!
