“Our little Bonnie had a wonderful stay with Sandy. Unlike many others we felt 100% happy and confident that our little ball of fluff was well cared for. Bonnie came back very happy and relaxed which is a great sign. Sandy had lots of space to give Bonnie the exercise she needs, being quite an active dog this was great to see. We have certainly found our sitter for bonnie and will be using Sandy again without hesitation.”


“Jeff was great with Maggie and also great with keeping us updated on her day. He sent wonderful pics and videos of her while we were away which was comforting. He was great to communicate with and very accommodating. Thank you Jeff and we'll see you again for sure!”



“Debbie is a true dog lover. During the stay, she treated our dog as if he was her own. The many picture updates showed us how comfortable and relaxed he was at her house! Debbie lives in a cute neighborhood with a yard for outdoor time. We know our dog enjoyed that! Debbie also accommodated our special requests for food to meet our dogg-o’s needs. We hope she will have us back! 🐾”


“Logan did a great job taking care of our dog for an overnight. Very responsive to questions, sends pictures, and is not overwhelmed/anxious/bothered by behaviors by my dog that make me anxious!! I will definitely use him again. Thanks Logan!!”


“Jackie has watched our cockapoo twice now for week long stays. We are very happy with her services and will likely use her again as needed. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Jackie.”


“Really happy to find Tammy. Our dog, Hank, loved his stay with her and her dogs. She has a big fenced in backyard and a comfortable house with a lot of toys for the dogs. We will use her again. She is a 30 minute drive from CHQ and well worth it given the care that she provides.”


“Karen and her husband were great. They watched our two dogs while we were getting married. They sent updates and pictures daily and put our minds at ease. I cannot recommend them enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”


“Felipe was a super nice host. He kept me updated with his daily schedule and lovable photos. My dog was happily tired everyday. Very convenient location as well. 10 minutes from the airport. Would recommend for those who need to drop off the dog and fly!”


“My family had a critical medical emergency two days before a long-awaited college reunion, so no one could watch my beloved 12-year old Shih Tzu, Brady, at the last moment. I was desperate to find a sitter for my little dog and decided to try Rover.com, and Katy said she was available. Best decision I have made in years. Katy was loving and so conscientious that I never worried for the entire four days. Her house was lovely, and she cared for Brady like her own much-loved family pet. I cannot express the joy and relief this incredibly kind woman gave me during our trip to West Point. I highly recommend Rover.com and Katy.”


“I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.”


“Rylee was fantastic with Puppa. She took him for walks and played with other dogs while she was dogsitting. She fed him some chicken and rice, such a treat! Rylee updated me every few hours and send me videos of him having a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend her to dog sit and hope that Puppa can stay with her again.”

Nestled on 30 acres of peaceful nature in Port Colborne, our home offers a safe, loving, and enriching environment for dogs, cats, and critters of all kinds. With years of experience and a deep understanding of animal needs and personalities, we provide personalized care that feels like family. Pets enjoy peaceful walks by the lake, cozy indoor stays, two fully fenced yards for safe play, and the comfort of a calm, natural setting. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a small animal needing a gentle touch, we treat every guest with the same care we give our own. Conveniently located just off HWY 3—25 minutes from Niagara Falls and 15 minutes from Fort Erie—we make it easy to give your pet a home away from home. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, homeschooling my older children on our nature-filled property. We’re lifelong animal lovers, with plenty of time and attention to offer. Your pet will be cared for with love, compassion, and the same devotion we give our own pets. Two fully fenced yards provide plenty of space for play and relaxation, with friendly large and a small dog. Our flexible setup ensures your pet’s comfort, offering options for safe separation or social time with others. Whether your pet enjoys their own space or loves making new friends, we tailor the experience to suit their personality and needs, ensuring a positive and stress-free stay.

“I had a great experience with Alissandria! They were so kind, communicative, and incredibly flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. My dog seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got back. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”


“Melissa is a true saint! My family was on a 2.5 week road trip with our 11 month old Akita puppy, Frida, when we decided to make a stop a the Great Blue Heron festival in Sherman, NY. Being on the road and leaving our puppy with a stranger seemed intimidating, especially considering her shy nature, but Melissa was great! Frida was very reserved with Melissa at first, but eventually warmed up. Melissa sent pictures and videos that showed she was having a great time. She went above and beyond to make sure Frida had access to activities that she enjoyed and even set up play dates with other young dogs. I am so so grateful we found Melissa and we were able to leave our pup with someone who put so much love and care into her time with Frida.”



“Nancy’s place is my favorite place to leave my pups for out of town trips! I get lots of picture updates and they get lots of cuddles at their home away from home. I know they’re happy there because they don’t hesitate to run in when I drop them off! So happy Nancy lets my boys stay with her.”


About: I have had dogs all my life and spent over 20 years as a Pet Groomer both in a shop and mobile. I have had continued education in cat grooming, dog grooming, skin care, etc. I specialized in senior and anxiety dogs. I have had upward of 9 dogs at one time and they did not all get along. I have also owned a diabetic dog. I also have a Reiki background. Currently I am retired from pet grooming and I own another business that is seasonal therefore my schedule is pretty flexible and my availability is pretty open too. I have a small fenced yard in a low traffic community that is good for walks too. I am familiar with crate training and can accommodate that if needed. I also have gates if access needs to be limited to parts of my house. Example, I do have stairs and can block them if pet is unable to do stairs.
