“This is the second time Kimberly has looked after our dog, Hunter, while we were away on holiday, and once again she was outstanding. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Hunter and Kimberly’s dog, Murphy, bonded wonderfully and became great playmates. It was reassuring to know Hunter was not only well cared for but also happy and having fun. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter”
“Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!”
“I could tell that Coco had a great time here! I got regular photo updates, and I could tell that he was quite relaxed and happy there. He'll definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Tieja was absolutely amazing with Meeko. We were sad when our regular dog sitter relocated, but Tieja was a godsend! Meeko absolutely loved her time at Tieja's house and enjoyed making new friends with two other dogs Tieja was looking after. Meeko's usually very timid around other dogs so we were overjoyed to see she had made new pals! Tieja sent us lots of videos and photos of Meeko (and her friends!) and always got back to any of our messages super quickly. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Beth and Gary took such great care of our maltipoo, Kevin, for an extended stay. Sending us photos, lots of play and cuddle time and taking Kevin for walks. We would definitely recommend their services.”
“Cindy and Marc are absolutely incredible. I would have never left my dog for a week with anyone else. They are so kind, attentive, accommodating and a safe place for my pup. They send lots of updates and pictures to make sure I am comfortable and in the loop with what’s going on at all times. Thank you two so much for being so amazing!”
“I Milana 100%, she is very kind and friendly. Luna enjoy the time with her and her family.She sent me photos of Luna and the communication was great.We definitely will be back to her soon. She is the best! Thank you Milana! ☺️”

“So, so grateful for Jayson. He was so patient, kind and attentive to my 5 month old pup during his 4 night stay. He gave me lots of updates on the fun stuff they were doing which really eased my anxiety leaving him for the first time. He took Charlie to numerous parks and on lots of walks and made a model out of him on the many cute photos he sent me. Charlie had a great time with Jayson's on sweet Frenchie, Arnold. I cant reccomend Jayson enough....he's a true dog lover and it shows. 🩷🐾”
“I can’t recommend Gail enough! We left our Rocky with her for a few days while we were busy with our wedding and he enjoyed his stay so much! He was very comfortable and the photos that we were sent everyday helped calm our nerves. You can tell that Gail really has a love and appreciation for dogs. We can’t thank her enough ❤️❤️”
“Experienced care-giver with caring family and fenced in back yard. Our mini-poodle’s first night away from home and Karen made it a positive, happy experience for her. We will definitely be hiring her again :)”
“Great service and good communication! Max usually finds new people complicated, but he bonded with Qi and her mate. I'll definitely use your service again! 😊🐾 #service #communication #bond”
“Norman had the best time getting spoiled by Bren. She was so accommodating, and kind with our senior pup it is obvious she really cares for her pups. Im not sure he wanted to come home! 😁. 100% recommended.”
“I was very nervous about going away without my dog as he has never been away from me before. Ilona put my mind at ease and I went away feeling comfortable that he was in very good hands. The texts and pictures made my day and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. When I went to pick him up I could see that he liked her and that made me so happy. He was clearly in very good hands. I highly recommend Ilona and plan to book with her again in the future. Thank you so much for caring for my sweet Cooper so well”
About: A lifetime of loving dogs is what drives my pet care. I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family. Because dogs have always been a central part of my life, I will create a nurturing, safe, and attentive environment for your dog. I work from home full-time, which allows me to maintain a structured and attentive routine. Your dog will enjoy an active, fun-filled day with me! My routine includes four 20–30 minute walks outside every day, paired with plenty of open playtime in my fenced yard. It is the perfect balance of structured walking and backyard fun to keep your pup happy and tired by bedtime. I provide cage-free dog boarding in my own home, offering full-time supervision while I work. Your pet will enjoy a loving environment with my friendly Goldendoodle, featuring four 20-to-30-minute outdoor walks daily and plenty of playtime in my securely fenced yard. I follow your exact care instructions to keep your dog's routine safe, consistent, and happy.

Teija cared for Teddy, our 3-yr old small spaniel, for two days while we saw a couple of plays at the Stratford Festival. I always feel some anxiety when we drop our pet off with a stranger, but Teija made me immediately feel comfortable and confident we had made the right choice. We appreciated the photos and notes she forwarded to us. We could see that Teddy was looking happy and relaxed. I feel fortunate to have found her. I hope Teija is available the next time we visit the festival.
It was our first time leaving Bella with a boarding service and we are very happy with the results. Dallas was great with Bella. They got along fantastic. We could could tell as Bella was excited and happy to start her time with Dallas after her first visit. We had a great trip knowing that Bella was secure with Dallas. Thank you
5 stars isn't enough for Maria. What was suppose to be a simple few days while we went on vacation quickly turned out to be anything but. right before we were to leave we discovered Ellie had a brain Tumor and needed alot of extra care.. We gave Maria the chance to back out as that's not what was originally discussed.. and she didn't.. she was up for the challenge. Simply Amazing.. thank you so much for taking care of our girl for us.
