“OMGGGGG! I’m new to having pets. My daughter had an OFSAA tournament in Sarnia. We know no one in Sarnia. It was my first time using Rover. Angie responded quickly. Her rate and reviews are GREAT! She kept our minds at ease by sending pics, videos, notes throughout the day. She made the cutest posts. It was our first time away from Toby. There was a lot of anxiety but Angie put us at ease. She has a park next to her home to walk Toby. Not only is Angie great…but so is her family! So welcoming and friendly and kind. I know where to go if I’m back in Sarnia. Angie is 100% dependable kind and patient and just loves animals! 100% recommend Angie!”
“Jessica and her family were amazing! During our time away, Jessica sent regular updates, complete with adorable photos, which brought us such peace of mind. It was clear that Belle was having a blast and being well taken care of. The level of communication and transparency was just outstanding. I highly recommend Jessica and her family to anyone in need of a dependable, loving, and professional dog sitter. Your pup will be in the best possible hands, and you can relax knowing they are being treated like royalty.”
“This is the third time my dog has stayed with Alissa, and it’s always a fantastic experience. Alissa is incredibly attentive and loving, making me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Alissa takes excellent care of my dog, who always comes back happy and well looked after. She regularly sends photos and updates, keeping me informed. Alissa is also very accommodating with schedules, which is a great help. I highly recommend Alissa’s Dog Day Care for anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their pet!”
“Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“Zayda loved staying with Melissa and Willow. She was easy to communicate with via the app, flexible with dropoff/pickup, and sent daily updates and photos. Zayda came home exhausted from her fun week of playing with Willow and happily slept all day. She was happy and content when we picked her up. 10/10 would reccomend, great location for those traveling from MI to Canada or vice versa!”

About: Have a history of dog breeding and care, love all pets. We currently have 2 small dogs, our cat passed way last year sadly, but we love both. I work part time, three hours three times a week and so I have a lot of free time to care for the needs of your pet. I have a fully fenced in yard where even the smallest dog cannot get out. In your home I am available to help them feel comfortable and safe when you are away.
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, I have a black lab who has diabetes and is now blind so I’m very patient with her 😊 I’m a stay at home mom with two daughters so my schedule is wide open. I’m always around if someone needs me to help out I have a fenced in yard for my dogs, I’m very trustworthy and have fun with any animal. I enjoy being outside with them as well

Angie and her family have always been kind to Soda. When Soda visits she perks up to "let's go to daycare." This time was a weekend stay. I asked for extra updates and I got exactly what I wanted. Videos and pictures of Soda being happy, playing, and napping. I have never had a problem with drop-off or pick-ups, very reliable. Thanks for watching my baby.
Cindy and Jaime are absolutely amazing dog sitters! They watched our pup Red for almost two weeks while we were away on our honeymoon and took such wonderful care of him. They were super accommodating when we needed to modify our dates and add an extra night so we could help my sister with childcare. They’ve been caring for Red since he was a puppy, and we trust them completely. They kept up with his training, sent regular updates, and always responded to messages quickly. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands. We can’t recommend Cindy and Jaime enough to anyone looking for reliable, quality pet care! 🐾
