“Carmen was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for our anxious rescue pup Max. We appreciated that Carmen made time for a meet and greet in her home prior to our trip to meet our pup and introduce him to her space. She goes above and beyond to make sure pets in her care have time to decompress and get comfortable. Max quickly warmed up to her, and we could enjoy our vacation knowing he was having a great time and being well cared for. Carmen sent pictures or videos everyday showing Max playing, relaxing, going for walks - living his best life! I know if we need a sitter again Max will greet her with a waggy tail. Thank you Carmen!!”
“Eva is awesome! She’s super communicative and helpful in organizing my dog’s stay. She took excellent care of my dog. My dog, Lucy, takes some time to get used to new people. Eva did a great job and within the first hour she sent a photo of Lucy smiling and playing with her. Eva updated me throughout Lucy’s stay. Lucy came home tired and happy. I highly recommend Eva! A great experience.”
“Eden and Jacob were amazing with our dog! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kara was took such good care of Seven! She sent me regular pictures and I could tell Seven was happy and comfortable, and he was very relaxed when I picked him up. Kara was also kind enough to accept to board Seven on a short notice which really helped me. Thank you so much Kara for being so kind with Seven. We will come back next time we're in Waterloo!”
“J.R. is a very reliable and knowledgeable person when it comes to taking care of our elderly Lab. We have total confidence in leaving our beloved family member with J.R. when we travel. You should too!”

“Edward and his family were excellent with Chevy. They appeared to love taking care of him and Edward kept me up to date either lots of pictures of how they were doing. Our Chevy is a big boy who does love everybody but he’s also with us most of the time so we are so pleased this worked so well. We will definitely ask Edward again! Thanks!”
“River certainly enjoyed his stay with Finn- the many walks with other dogs including another Cocker Spaniel! He's come home quite exhausted. I think he'll be wagging the next time we have a trip and show up at Finn's house!”
“Deborah-Lynn is amazing with dogs! We did a meet and greet before Peggy did her overnight stay and I knew instantly that I could trust her with my pup. She showed Peggy so much affection, helped teach her some better behaviours, and facilitated great play time with Wheatley and Leena. While we were away she sent a bunch of videos and pictures to let us know how Peggy was doing. When we picked Peggy up she was exhausted from having such a great time. We will definitely be a repeat customer!! Thank you, Deborah-Lynn!”

He kept me updated regularly and reached out whenever he had any questions, which really helped me feel at ease. I could tell the dogs were in good hands. I’d gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Melissa is amazing. We had a last minute commitment and she was able to accommodate having our dog stay with her. She was reassuring and we never felt worried to leave him with her. She also has a double gate system in her backyard which was an added bonus. Our dog was never left alone while he was there and had a great time playing with her Great Dane and a Lab puppy. She provided updates throughout the night and the next morning so we were always felt in the loop. And she was very quick to reply to our messages. When we went to pick him up he seemed sad to leave! Thanks for the exceptional care Melissa!!”

“This was our very first time boarding our 1 year old maltese, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hanee was incredibly reassuring and took the time to answer all my questions before the stay. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We got regular updates and pictures, which helped ease any worries we had as pet parents. Zuzu looked relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed their time. When we picked them up, they were in great spirits and well cared for. Highly recommend Hanee—they made our first boarding experience a positive and memorable one. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
