“I would recommend Carina 100%. She looked after our Ruby on a long weekend, sent us pictures of their adventures, and communicated on our return for best drop off time. When we met to pick up Ruby, she was well at home, and completely tired from the weekend walks. I would highly recommend Carina to anyone looking for dog care, she is wonderful!!!”
“Kristin was great! She updated me everyday with photos and how our dog was doing, I highly recommend her! Great communication and fast responses, and very flexible on pick up times. We really appreciate her.”
“Denise was so easy to work with. Great communication, flexible, and reliable. My dog had such a great time there! Tons of toys for the dogs and a nice outdoor space. I will be sending my dog back there for sure!”
“"Five stars for Ginette! Our dog, Cookie, stayed with her for 4 days and had a blast. Ginette was wonderful about sending daily updates so we knew Cookie was happy and settled. It's clear she loves animals and takes her job seriously. Cookie really enjoyed her stay!"”
“Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !”
“Maggie had another wonderful stay with Lara and her family! Lots of walks, cuddles and playtime! I could tell by the photo updates that Maggie was relaxed and having fun! Thank you so much!”
“We left our dog Detective with Sarah for 4 days and she was always updating us with pictures. Detective was so happy and would still react if we mention Leroy and Lucky’s names.”
“Becky always takes great care of Winnie and Winnie loves her stay with them. She even went out of her way to buy extra dog food for her as I was later back than anticipated.”
“Alexandra made leaving Nash in her care stress free. She gave frequent updates and pictures and made sure she knew any health/behavioural needs ahead of time. Would definitely recommend as we will for sure use her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.
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!
“My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.”

“Shelley and Rod were amazing with our Lola, she as truly welcomed in like one of the family. They have a wonderful home and property that is VERY dog friendly and our Lola loved her stay with them and she made lots of new furry friends. Lots of love and care was shown for our furry family member while we were away. A+++ thank you again so much for watching her for us :)”
“Denai is the best! We had an amazing experience leaving our pup with Denai and her family over Christmas. She was well cared for and treated like a family member in the home. She sent us updates with pics and videos of her playing and having the best time while we were gone. She even came home with a bag of treats for Christmas! I highly recommend Denai- we will be using her from now on for all our pet sitting!! Thank you so much for providing the best care for our Gertie!! Denai”
“Alexis sat for our two dogs for two nights and they were well taken care of while we were gone. She ensured that they went on their walks, fed, and fully cuddled during their stay! She communicates well and kept us informed with all we needed to know and sent pictures of our pets during our stay. I recommend Alexis to care for your pets’ needs!”
“Janelle had our dog Luna over night at her home and she was absolutely wonderful. Janelle sent pictures throughout the stay, and stayed in good contact. Luna is a shy girl, and she seemed to feel really comfortable with Janelle. We will definitely be contacting Janelle again to take care of our girl.”
“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!”

Denise was amazing! My dog was so well cared for the 12 days she had him. I received frequent videos and picture updates which kept me happy. My dog settled in so well with her lovely dog and with her. She took him to the dog park and cuddled with him on the couch. She truly values the animals in her care. I know my dog is going through withdrawal from her house already. He can’t wait to go back! I would recommend Denise to everyone. Thanks so much, Denise!
Tanner was very professional and adaptable. One of my dogs is a new to me rescue. There was some uncertainty about how he may adapt. Tanner took this in stride and our initial meet and greet allayed any of my concerns. Their home was well suited for dogs having nearly all hardwood floors and a fenced in back yard. Tanner has his own dog that quickly became playful and social. I was in India and was not necessarily readily accessible, but Tanner made sure to send me nearly daily photos and updates to ease my mind. I would definitely recommend Tanner to anyone looking for a sitter! The dogs benefited much more being with his loving family. Thank you so much Tanner.
"Five stars for Ginette! Our dog, Cookie, stayed with her for 4 days and had a blast. Ginette was wonderful about sending daily updates so we knew Cookie was happy and settled. It's clear she loves animals and takes her job seriously. Cookie really enjoyed her stay!"
Taylor was great! We had a meet and greet to see how our dog would do. Taylor was very calm with her, which made me feel very comfortable. Our dog only stayed the day, not over night, and it all worked out fine. Taylor gave us a quick update with a photo, which was nice!. I would definitely have our dog stay with her again.
