“Peanut just had her first stay with Elizabeth and Gary. What a wonderful caring couple, they adored Peanut for the weekend and Peanut was very happy and tired when I got her home. They sent me pictures throughout the day of her stay over which was sweet and she looked so happy. And were happy to work with me on any little small issues she has with being left away from us, surprisingly she had a peaceful happy weekend. I have booked her again in the summer and she is so conveniently close to where i live which is a bonus. Thankyou so much ! The Walker Family”
“Lynn and her husband took wonderful care of our sweet dog while we were away on a family vacation. They treated her like one of their own, and it was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We especially appreciated the daily photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy dog sitters, and we will definitely be leaving our dog with them again in the future!”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”
“Jilly stayed for the day today with Amanda and Brock, her first time with them. And everything went so well! I received some photos and comments from them during the day, updating me on how Jilly was doing. It was so great to have that reassurance that all was good. Jilly had her 2 daily walks, lunch and Kong treat as requested. And I brought home a happy and relaxed pup! Thank you Amanda and Brock. You made us feel very welcome and we will definitely see you again soon.”
About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.

“Michelle and her partner, Joel, were truly wonderful with my senior 16 year old Weimaraner. They jumped in to help with a medical issue and I left my dog with them with confidence. I was worry free. Michelle provides a loving, attentive and interactive experience. My dog was so content and happy. I think he is missing Puppy today! He was so well cared for he would have been happy to stay longer. I will be a repeat customer. I trust Michelle and her family with my “old man” and will trust her with future care. So rare to find this and I am so grateful!”

“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”
About: Hello, and welcome! Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, reading pet body language and anticipating their needs comes completely naturally to me. What further sets me apart is my formal background in Veterinary Office Administration. I bring medical knowledge, medication safety, and clinical insight straight into your pet's daily routine. I specialize in slow-paced, gentle care for senior dogs and am fully qualified to administer oral medications on a strict schedule. When new pups arrive, I use a structured 20-minute yard decompression and gate-introduction protocol to keep energy calm, safe, and positive right from the start. – Chantel T. As a lifelong pet lover, caring for animals is a central and rewarding focus for me. Because I manage my routine directly from home, my availability for dog boarding and daycare is wonderfully flexible. Your pup will enjoy continuous companionship, active supervision, and structured care throughout their stay. I also maintain an open communication window from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily for messages, updates, and booking inquiries. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in my cozy 700 sq. ft. home, which features a fully fenced 1,800 sq. ft. backyard with 5 ft fencing—perfect for safe outdoor play and sniffing sessions. To ensure a calm, low-stress setup, I host up to 2 boarding pup’s at a time (boarding/daycare) so every guest gets 1-on-1 attention alongside my resident beagle, Ruby. (Please note: while I grew up with cats and offer local drop-in visits for feline friends in their own space, my home is strictly reserved for dog guests only!)

He was clean, happy, and had clearly been eating well. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Gudrun was able to accommodate our last minute request and was incredibly understanding of our unique situation. Our cat Tank was well cared for and loved. We received pictures and updates throughout his stay which made our separation easier. All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend Gudrun without hesitation.
