“Damacia was fantastic! Our Goldendoodle puppy loved playing with her dogs and was very well-cared for. She came home clean, happy and tired! We’d definitely recommend and will use Damacia in the future. We are so grateful to have found her!”


“My Golden Retriever, Mojo, had a blast over the 4 days he spent with Zach and his family. I especially appreciated the many photos and updates while I was away on my vacation. I would highly recommend Zach to care for your dog.”



“Cyndi did an amazing job caring for my pup Leia! She was super flexible and supportive while I was taking some big exams for school. Leia was sad to leave and I loved all the photos I saw! I felt more than confident in Cyndi’s care for Leia and I will 100% ask her to sit for me in the future.”


“Cassandre took such amazing care of my puppy, I could not have asked for a better person to look after her. Will definitely be booking again with her! If you are looking for someone to love on your puppy like their own, Cassandre is the right choice!”


“Shakita was great! My dog who is normally very shy was comfortable and extremely happy while staying with Shakita. He had an amazing time playing with the other small dogs. I could tell by the pictures she sent everyday :) I will definitely be booking with Shakita again!”

“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”


“Paula took excellent care of Luna, and I've never seen Luna take to someone so quickly as she did Paula! Normally when we get back from leaving her, she can't wait to jump in the back of our vehicle to head home-not the case this time! In fact, she acted like she wanted to stay with Paula! Good job, and thank you Paula!”

“Jennifer was so wonderful and texted photos and updates of Penny each day. She listened to my instructions and really seemed to enjoy having her. I will definitely be reaching out again!”


“Pamela and Paul were great at taking care of Oliver and keeping us updated on how he was doing. Oliver has separation anxiety which can make it difficult to find a sitter, but Oliver really enjoy his time with them. He showed very little anxiety and got along really well with their dog Marlowe. Pamela and Paul did a fantastic job and we were definitely be coming back!”

“This is the second time we have had our pups stay at Myra’s and it was amazing just like the first! The dogs absolutely love her and her daughter and we can leave them knowing they will be happy and safe. We received lots of great pictures and the pick up/drop off times were flexible. She will always be our go-to sitter!”
