“Emily took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She provided updates and photos of him. He came home clearly happy and was well taken care of by her. Will for sure use her again when we need to. Highly recommend”
“The extra care and attention given to our older chocolate lab was priceless. He required medication and had a recent down-turn in his health. Maureen and Todd took care of him as if he were their own. 100% confidence in their care and attention. Would HIGHLY recommend.”
“Neeko loved staying with this wonderful family and they really seemed to enjoy having him. Actually, even though he was happy to see me, he didn’t seem to want to leave. That’s the best compliment of all, if you ask me. Will definitely ask them to take care of my pup again when the need arises.”
“Sabrina was a great sitter for our one year old boxer. Her fenced in yard, experience with many dogs, and kindness made the experience very comforting for a first timer.”
“Dan & Kelly are great with my dog, Henry! I appreciate the attention they give to him and I also think their house and backyard are a great space for dogs to have fun and be safe.”
“Ashleigh is incredible! She went above and beyond to make my pup feel at home while we were out of town. Throughout his stay, we received pictures and updates of walks, cuddles, treats and lots of play-time! I will definitely be using her again.”
“Milo spent a weekend in Tatyana’s home and if the choice was up to him I think he would have stayed there longer! The booking experience was very thorough and left me feeling comfortable leaving my pup with Tatyana. I received lots of updates and pictures during Milo’s stay. He got to spend the weekend with other pups while there and by the way he slept the whole day after I picked him up, I could tell that he was very well cared for!”
“Michelle and her wonderful family wholly welcomed my dog Skye and made her feel so welcome at their beautiful property. She's a bit of a nervous girl, and Michelle was very in tune with her moods and needs. She was gently introduced to Michelle's dogs one at a time, and even got to sleep in a bed with a family member. Not only was Skye reassured and happy, I was too!”
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“Great communication, gave a good recap of how my dog did and paid attention to his anxiety and how he didn’t seem to tolerate the heat despite walking later in the day, and cut a walk short because she was concerned by his panting.”
“Melissa was a wonderful sitter, sending photos & updates during my absence. My pup was happy to see me, but she also loved her time with the resident pup! We definitely want to see Melissa & Chiquita again.”
“Julie was very responsive, communicative, and sent a lot of pictures during our dog’s stay! Our dog seemed very happy and at home with her! We would definitely book again!”
“A dog is family, so finding a caregiver for an extended stay can be challenging. We found Paige to be ideal for Buster, a 12 year old Maltese mix. Paige's home environment is very similar to ours so Buster was comfortable in his stay. Paige communicated with updates and pictures which was nice and comforting for us. I would highly recommend Paige.”
“Very happy with our experience with Paige. She sent us pictures often which our son look forward to. Apollo got to be around other dogs and had a nice yard to play in.”
“Caroline was great, super flexible with my schedule after several last min changes! And I believe my baby had a wonderful time at her house with her fur baby ?? will definitely reach out again for more services!”
