3. Vanya B.


“Vanya was fantastic for our greyhound, Renny. His health is failing and he has required more care recently. Vanya took him on and had no difficulty caring for a dog with health and physical challenges. We so appreciate the compassion and care she showed toward our boy and would recommend her to anyone!”


4. Trisha K.

“Trisha was great with my two young labs. She sent pics and updates which was very appreciated as this was the first time they stayed away from home.”


5. Justina D.


“It's a family affair. Justina is a wonderful sitter and boarder herself. What makes her truly special is that her entire family embraced our pets. They have a large farm set back from a little used country road and they open up their home and hearts to our pets. As a boarder Justina sets a new standard for care.”

8. Jenna B.

“Jenna was phenomenal!! We are new to the App and took a chance when last minute we needed a sitter for our two pups! It is stressful leaving our pets but as soon as we met Jenna our minds were put to ease. We could not have asked for a kinder, attentive and respectful person!! Jenna was extremely prompt with responses, sent us photos of our pups and even shared regular updates! If you considered your pups family then 1000% they will be treated this way in Jenna’s care! We are so thrilled we will be booking again!”


9. Scharol L.

“Shelly was great with Cooper and Elise. They felt at home with her, as both were asleep less than an hour after I left. Her flexibility with our planned pickup was greatly appreciated as well! If up by the Big Mac (bridge) give her a call. Mark and Cindy”

I am offering a variety of dog services such as; walking, drop in visits, boarding, and in home care to give you the break you deserve. Stressing to go home at lunch? Working long hours? Difficulties walking? Going out of town? Simply want to have a chill day? Don't stress - I have you covered. With my love for dogs, your fur babies will surely get a paw-some experience. Long walks, play time, belly rubs snuggles, and of course some yummy treats along the way. I have experience with a variety of dogs (small, medium and large) and a variety of personalities (energetic, reactive to sounds and other animals, calm, young and old). I am flexible to work with your schedule and very friendly. I am excited to meet your furry friend. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me. My daily and weekly routines are flexible to be able to provide the necessary and appropriate care for your pup. Please reach out prior to discuss the service and care you need as my schedule availability may vary based off the service required. I ensure I have a great understanding on each pup needs as they all vary. It's important to me to get the know them as if they are mine to be able to provide the best experience possible.

I provide in home care as well if you're more comfortable with me going there. I have a large unfenced backyard with a beautiful river in the back but will be sure to keep your furry friend on a leash to ensure their safety.


13. Karen W.

“Karen was very accommodating with the timing for picking up/dropping off our cat Shirley. After only two nights Shirley felt comfortable enough to join Karen on her bed. To me, this speaks volumes!”


14. Tate Z.
“Tate has helped looked after our dog multiple times while we've been away and I can't recommend him enough. Our dog is very big and strong at around 100lbs, but Tate has no problems with this and is great at controlling him. He has been around dogs his whole life and is a big animal lover, and they all seem to love him right back- he is basically an animal whisperer. Tate is very responsible and trustworthy, and I know he will take great care of your furry friend!”


15. Benita B.

“We came in from out of town to experience the Agawa Train. We trusted our 2 senior girls with Benita and she was awesome! She was in communication and left us feeling at ease to enjoy our day. Very satisfied.”


16. Mackenzie G.
About: I have been a lover of all animals since I was born. I grew up with boxers and now I have 2 small dogs back home ( 1 Shih tzu and 1 Boston terrier/yorkie). I currently work 8-4pm. I can walk dogs before 8am or after 4pm, I am very flexible and will be happy to accommodate you and your pets! I have a fenced in back yard but will probably keep them on a leash for extra precaution. Pets are allowed on furniture in our house.


17. Helena H.
“Helena is a very reliable, hard working young lady! She adores cats, dogs, and any other furry four legged friend. Her compassionate nature makes her very approachable and likeable person. Personally, she is my #1 choice to watch/babysit my cat because she is so attentive and active with her. As a paramedic student, she juggles her busy school schedule, but always makes time for her friends, family, and pets! I would highly recommend Helena as a dog sitter for anyone :)”
