“My dog stayed with Lynda in November 2024, and I cant’t say enough about how wonderful my dog’s stay was. She is a very nervous dog, but all the pictures and videos Lynda sent would say otherwise. What a relief to know there is a dog friendly home with a huge fenced in yard I can take my dog and not worry. You can tell Lynda loves dogs and is very attentive to their needs. I would not hesitate at all to book again!!”
“Walter had a blast during his first weekend stay with Paige. She was sitting for two other dogs at the same time and with her own dog as host, everyone got along and played for hours. Paige sent photos and videos during his stay so we could see, he didn’t miss us at all (sigh). We highly recommend Paige and hope to have Walter visit again in the future.”
“Our Seamus had a wonderful time with Janice and Rene They made him feel right at home We appreciated their daily updates and photos Couldn't be happier with the care that they provided”
“Jacinta and her 3 children gave Bria lots of love and attention and she received excellent care. Jacinta sent updates and photos to show us how Bria was doing during her stay, which gave us peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. Bria even made friends with their cat!”
“Bruiser had such a fun stay with Hui! He loved playing with Mibao and his beautiful walks. I really appreciated all of the photos and videos from Hui, and how much she cared for Bruiser while I was away. I would recommend Hui to anyone!”
“Best family ever!!! They look after your dog like their own! He was so well looked after and had a blast! I received so many videos and pictures, it was the best experience leaving our boy with such loving pet lovers ♥️”
“Charlie was wonderful! She watched our big 75 lbs dog for the weekend and treated him well. She had good communication and was understanding when we ran a bit late. Cooper was well-taken care of and loved!”
“For the first time, we left our Toby for eight consecutive nights. Leaving him with Jacqueline and Jamie we felt very reassured that he was going to be well taken care of. Early on in our trip he was showing some signs of sickness. Jacqueline promptly responded, made sure to provide me with many updates and did an amazing job at taking care of him. Luckily, Toby recovered after a day or two and was very happy to rejoin all of his dog friends for lots of playtime, walks, and naps together. It was very reassuring to not have to worry about him while we were gone, and we know that he has a fantastic time every time he is there. We feel very lucky to have a place for Toby to be well taken care of when we need it.”
“There should be more stars allowed for us to pick to show how fortunate our Maggie, and us, were to find Shadi, Kristen and Adam. Maggie received so much love and attention the entire week and we can clearly see that Maggie truly misses her temporary family. Any and all families who are looking for a family who treats their fur baby as if he/she were their own….this is the family to choose. We received excellent updates regularly, with pictures, showing just happy our Maggie was. Nothing but amazing things we have to say about them and if Maggie could talk, she would say the same thing. Thank you again Shadi, Kristen and Adam….we are so lucky to have found you guys. Take care. Derek/Ashley and Maggie.”
“Jenn and Alex took excellent care of Ozzy; it was his first time leaving us and he was happy. Jenn communicated with me through the four days and sent pictures of Ozzy having fun. We highly recommend Jenn and Alex!”
“Fantastic communication for the time that we were away. While I was nervous leaving my dogs, I was a lot less nervous after meeting Joanna and Eric. I would recommend them 100 %. It's nice to know my dogs got a mini vacation like I did :)”
“Best experience one could expect! Jess & Eric were terrific with Max, I was a bit worried leaving him, he was on medication, but they took great care of him, sent daily updates and pictures AND he made some new friends! I couldn't have asked for better care, Thank you Jess!”
About: My first name is Jessica - but I’ve always gone by Emily! :) I’ve been gaining experience with animals of all kinds, since I was a teenager. I worked for years as an assistant at my local animal hospital. I did dog sitting and helping breeders on the side as well with dog sitting, feeding puppies and even helping out at dog shows. From there, I worked at my local humane society for several years. I’ve been a lover of all animals my whole life. I’m currently off for the rest of the summer and then working from home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with a pup! Your dog’s staycation starts here! I have a partially fenced yard but a large back deck with a pool. My house has lots of room for a dog to stroll around, play, relax etc. My beloved dog passed away in December and i am not ready to get a new one but I am missing the fun and company of a dog! We have two cats that we are crazy about as well!
“A home away from home! We couldn’t be happier with Apollo’s stay at Shelley’s. He was treated as part of the family from the moment we dropped him off. It made our vacation that much better knowing he was in such good care. The pictures and updates were great as well! We’ll definitely use Shelley’s services again and I know Apollo will be excited to see them all again.”
“We are thrilled to have a go-to Rover near beautiful Merrickville, where we sometimes spend the weekend. Now, we're able to send our dog to have a blast with Kayla and her dog while we roam the shops, cafes, and restaurants. Kayla was prompt, professional, and friendly in her communication and service, and she took great care of our dog. He was smiling extra big in all of the photos she sent us throughout the day. We will be reaching out to here again in future, and recommend her to others.”
About: Having had a German Shepard I understand that every fur baby has different needs. I am respectful of the dogs personality and routine. I've done obedience courses with our boy, and have 9 years of experience dealing with this type of breed. Unfortunately our baby boy passed away in October 2023, since then i've been caring for our friends, and families pets, not only does it help them, but it helps us with our heartbreaking loss. While having your pet here. I can provide him/her with cuddles, and lots of love as well as a 2 acre fenced in yard. The fence is not so great for small dogs, but perfect for bigger dogs. I love animals and we will make sure that your pet is happy, fed and loved. I will treat yours the way we would want mine to be treated. I understand that they are not just pets they are family. I am currently on maternity leave, so I am available most weekends and week days. Please note, I will be away two weeks in the summer and two weeks in the winter around Christmas. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard, perfect for larger/medium breeds, not so great for small dogs. In my home, it is a one level, the dogs are able to sleep wherever they are the most comfortable. If dog needs to be crated we have a crate here.
“Jason responds quickly to messages and gladly accommodated my last minute request. Bailey had a great time with Jason, Bosko and Jason’s family. He sent a couple of photos as well. There is a great fenced area and so lots of exercise. I would recommend Jason anytime, excellent care and great location.”
