“Carina took very good care of our sweet and shy Luna. We instantly felt comfortable with leaving Luna for the weekend and received many updates. We would definitely recommend Carina- she is gentle, kind and attentive. We will absolutely use her dog sitting services again.”

“We cant say enough good things about Polly-Anna!!! Her and her family took such great care of our girl. It was our first time leaving her for longer than one night, Polly-Anna sent us lots of picture and video updates. Her three pups took to luna right away and put up with her wild puppy energy! There is very secure fencing for when she was outside, she even got to meet rabbits, pigs, chickens and turkeys(through the fence)!! We feel lucky to have found someone who loves and cares for our fur baby as much as we do. We have already re booked for when we are away next and will recommend her to anyone we know needing pet care🙂”

About: I grew up on a farm and have extensive experience with all kinds of animal. Dogs and cats alike. I currently work at a animal boarding facility.i also hold a current and up to date animal first aid certification I work mainly nights but have no issue coming to check on pets before and after my shifts. Will be available at any time other that 2-11. I work in a force free boarding facility and I carry that into my own home. I own a Red heeler. So I understand high anxiety or pups who may need extra attention.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ponoka home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
