“Ashley and Kelvin are awesome! It was my pup’s first time boarding and she’s normally quite shy around new humans so I was quite worried, but she warmed up to A & K right away! Ashley sent so many pics & videos throughout my pup’s stay, and took her out for her favorite ball activities despite the winter rain & cold — thank you Ashley & Kelvin for taking such good care of Hana so that we could have a stress free trip! Also their pup Charlee is the sweetest!! :)”
“Si Yu is definitely one of the best dog sitters out there. He consistently provides great care for my dog and replies very quickly to my messages. I always go back to him because he's always reliable and my dog loves him!”
“Stacie's patient and calm nature really put Blackberry at ease. We were away for 1 week and needed someone to look after our 2 year old cat. Being the first time away from us, naturally I was very nervous. Stacie took the time to do a meet and greet to ensure they would be a good fit. Blackberry was naturally drawn to her and felt comfortable almost immediately. During our vacation Stacie provided daily updates and videos and was careful to gradually transition Blackberry into her home. I would highly recommend Stacie and would be using her again in the future. Thank you Stacie!”

Thank you both ☺️”

“Our dog Darwin had an amazing time. They were so good with lots of updates and pictures!! I will be booking him in to stay with Natz and Ignacio in the future 100%. One of the best sitters we have ever had hands down.”

“Jin was such a great sitter for my two pups misa and nana ! She always kept me updated and was so kind. We were able to trust that our pups were in good hands while we were away abroad for a month. She added so much ease to our trip! She was extremely flexible with our schedule and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jin!”

“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Lily! They took amazing care of our two dogs, Bei Bei and Mei Mei, during their recent boarding stay. It’s clear that Lily has a genuine passion for dogs — right from the start, we could feel how much love and attention they give to every pet they look after. Throughout the entire stay, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and even short videos of Bei Bei and Mei Mei having fun, relaxing, and being well cared for.

Joanne and Glenn had our dog Puffin for 2 and a half weeks while we were out of town. They provided the best care for Puffin - bringing him for regular walks, runs around the garden and playtime with their lovely dog Lily. We 100% recommend Joanne and Glenn for all pet services, they went above and beyond during Puffin’s stay and we can’t thank them enough!
Ashley and his husband are definitely a dynamic duo when it comes taking care of our pup. Tofu warmed up so quickly to them. And they’re just very kind both to humans and to animals. And their dog, Koda is Tofu’s BFF❤️ Such a kind dog as well. And their cat is also very kind. Will definitely book again! 10/10
I’m so grateful to Maye and Frank for taking such amazing care of my dog Belle! From the start, they were kind, attentive, and truly treated Belle like family. Maye sent me regular photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Belle looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! It’s clear she had a great time and felt right at home with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with them again, highly recommend!
Rein had such a great time staying with Sara for two days! He got to play with other sweet dogs and came home tired, happy, and relaxed—which tells me he had a blast. I could tell Sara genuinely cares, and it made me feel really comfortable leaving him there. We’ll definitely be coming back again!
Derek is a rockstar pet sitter, he took care of our husky and not only gave her wonderful walks and care but also plenty of enrichment and cuddles! We've never had Whiskey run into someone's house like that when we dropped her off! One of the best experiences we've ever had, we couldn't recommend Derek enough :)
Vanessa was very professional, kind and polite, great communication and support, will definitely use her service again
Warshi was a wonderful dog sitter for my small dog, Buggy. She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated regularly, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Buggy felt right at home and clearly enjoyed his time with her—he had a great time playing in the backyard and came back happy and relaxed. I really appreciate the care and attention Warshi gave him. I would absolutely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Buzz It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and reliable hands. We truly appreciate your updates and the extra care you put in – we came home to a very happy pet!
Decem was amazing! They took great care of Morty and sent lots of pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Super reliable, caring, and communicative. Highly recommend!
Jin & her family are the best. We’re so happy to find such good care for our dogs. They get so many walks and are obviously well cared for. We will definitely book again. Thanks, Jin!☺️
Sandra and her family are absolutely lovely! She gave my dog so much love and attention, was great at sending me photos and updates and super quick communication. Highly recommend!!
Brittaney & Tommy cared so well for our small dog while we were away for almost 3 weeks! They sent us photos daily and were so patient with instructions for Bailey. We really appreciated you taking care of our dog while we were away. Thank you 💕😊
Ashleigh was so kind and patient. She made sure my dog was walked and fed when he was upset from being left overnight. I really appreciated the picture she sent and that she didn’t mind me checking in. So quick to answer right away. Thank you again!
Thank you to Margy and Ryan for taking good care of Piper whilst I was in Edmonton for the weekend. She came home looking well-groomed and happy :)
Nikhil was great with Asha, our dog, and we felt reassured with consistent updates and photos of how she was doing when with him. Will definitely use Nikhils dog sitting services again.
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters than Nali and Brandon! They took care of Mochi for two weeks and truly went above and beyond. We received daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear she was having the time of her life, like she was on vacation too! Mochi came back happy, healthy, and so well cared for. Communication was excellent, and they genuinely spoiled our fur baby with love and attention. If you’re looking for trustworthy, caring sitters, look no further than Nali and Brandon! Absolute 10/10.
Wonderful experience with Anna. I have already booked her again. So happy to have found someone to care for Poppy!
Christy was great! Easy to communicate with, and we had no issues while we were away. Would definitely leave our dog with her again in the future.
Lani and Barry were great with my boys. They took the time to send photos to me and made sure my boys were comfortable. I picked them up happy and didn’t seem stressed. I would definitely book through them again.
Ana provided exceptional care for our beloved dog. From daily walks to fun outings and even special events, she made sure our pup was always included and engaged. Ana treated her like family, bringing her along almost everywhere she went. We especially appreciated the daily updates—she sent us photos and videos that gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well-cared-for our dog was. She also took the time to understand and accommodate all of our specific instructions and preferences, showing great attention to detail and a genuine commitment to our dog’s well-being. It’s clear she truly cares. We wholeheartedly recommend Ana’s services to anyone looking for a loving and reliable caregiver. Without a doubt, she’s our top choice for boarding going forward.
