Kim watched Benny for me for multiple days while I was at work. I always felt at ease knowing Benny was with Kim! She was accommodating with some last minute bookings. she took Benny for long walks, and she took him to the dog park! I could tell Benny loved hanging out with Kim while I was at work! Would book with Kim again :)

I was really happy to connect with Car. She suggested a meet and greet which allowed me to see the environment Nellie would be staying in as well as to make sure all the dogs got along well. The emergency of everyone felt right. I appreciated being kept in the loop with texta and photos on how things were going and how she had settled in. A great experience for all!! I would definately rebook with Cat in the future.

Paula took exceptional care of Penny who is a senior and requires more than regular care. Penny felt very comfortable at her home, ate well and slept well. Paula has a very large grassy yard for her to roam around. We will be definitely be back!

If I could give ten stars I would! The first time we have ever left our dog with anyone since moving to the island was with this absolutely amazing couple. Charlie had an incredible time, I got updates and pictures, and she came home totally happy after her visit. It gave us such peace of mind to leave her in good hands. I will absolutely be using them again ❤️

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!

We simply couldn’t have hoped for a better dog-sitter for Juno. Susan has a calm and positive demeanor which is exactly what our dog needed after being in a very busy household and somewhat traumatized / fearful. Susan lives in a beautiful and serene area, fantastic for walks which your dog will undoubtedly appreciate. We loved receiving updates and photos from our pet which meant so much for us. Susan was also wonderfully flexible and accommodating when we had to prolong the dog’s stay by a few days. We are so grateful to have found her 💕

Everything went well with my dogs’ first trip to Keah’s. The yard is very well secured and the house is welcoming. I got a picture and update the first night which is always comforting. I would book with Keah again in the future.

Julie and her husband Dave are amazing people with such a passion and skill with dogs. My pooch had a wonderful time boarding with them and the whole experience left me so thankful and appreciative of them. I 100% recommend and will definitely look to book through them again (I think they'd like to see Beacon again too!)

Denyse took amazing care of our dog Stella! It's very obvious that Denyse has lots of experience caring for older dogs, and she was very communicative before, during, and after our booking. Stella was so comfortable that she barely wanted to leave when we picked her up! Would not hesitate to ask Denyse to look after Stella again, or recommend her to anyone.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my boarding experience with Adam! He had my dog, Bolt, for two weeks. During that time, he provided tons of pictures and updates which I appreciated since I was away for quite awhile. Prior to Bolt’s stay, we met with Adam and he did a trial walk with Bolt. This made me confident in my decision to board Bolt with him. Adam went above and beyond in his care for Bolt and even brought him back to me yesterday after I got home later than expected. Bolt has barely moved since coming home! I’m pretty sure this means that he is worn out and sad to be away from Adam. Bolt can’t wait to go back!

Christie assured me that everything would be fine was perfect! And my little Rosie was extremely happy when she met great Gabriel❤️ I definitely would highly recommend them my little girl was so well taken care of and I definitely will contact again if I ever need someone to watch over my little baby❤️

Chelsea looked after my Bernadoodle Miller. She was very good at understanding and interpreting what he was wanting at any given moment. Always gave him love and affection and formed a loving bond with him so he was always excited to see her and do things with her whether it was go for walks, hikes or just hangout. I felt Chelsea was also very responsible and looked out for his safety and overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Chelsea as an amazing person to look after your dog.

We were able to go to Janet's home to spend time with her dogs for an introduction, prior to the dates needed for her to have them. She came to our home to pick them up for their stay at her home. One of our 'girls' is very timid/anxious. Janet stayed in touch while we were away with videos/picture to put our mind at ease. Janet was attentive in all the ways one would hope for their very spoiled covid babies who don't ever spend time from home. From feeding process to sleeping routines. It was the first time we'd had our dogs in care and she made it so easy for us to enjoy our time away. I highly recommend Janet to care for your fur babies. Dawn Holowatiuk

Melissa really helped us out when we were trying to find a sitter last minute for our pup, Kylo. She was super friendly and quick to respond. She sent us photos of Kylo during his stay and he was nice and relaxed when we had him picked up! Would definitely use Melisa again!
