Highlights
Pet care experience
Furry friends are the best friends
We are at pet-loving family, with a large fenced in yard and flexible work-from home schedules, ready to help you with your dog boarding needs. We have two senior cats (who keep to themselves) and a rescue pup Finn who is almost 3! As a husband-and-wife team, we have both had pets our entire lives, and have been caring for our own pets together for over 12 years. We also have Red Cross Pet First Aid certification. Dogs who come to stay with us will have freedom to roam our house if it suits them, or they can use our crate. We go on several walks a day and have a large fenced yard for play. We also provide pet treats (if allowed). If we are coming to your house to provide cat visits and care, we will scoop the litter, freshen water and food, and play with your feline friend. If your cat likes to be brushed, we will also do that. Ask us any questions you need, or even come by our home to check us out before committing. Coffee (and maybe a cookie) included.

Ratings and reviews
The perfect pet family!
Alison looked after our cat while we were away on vacation and she was amazing! Tom is skittish but Alison took time to.play with him daily. She even trudged through a snowstorm to make sure he was looked after. I highly recommend her, I felt confident that my cat was well taken care of.
Alison is a caring and responsible pet owner who has cared for and loved animals her whole life! She understands that pets are our furry kids and treats them like family, and she's the first one to cuddle or give a treat. I have trusted her with my pets multiple times, and whole heartedly recommend her as your pet's next friend 🧡
Alison took amazing care of our girl, Roxie. She got lots of long walks, play time and attention during her 1-week stay. And she definitely looked like she made herself at home when we went to pick her up! Alison and her family are animal lovers and take great joy in caring for their fur babies and others' fur babies. If you need someone to look after your pet, you should definitely give Alison a call.

Schedule
We are a husband and wife team who both have flexible work-from-home schedules (and both of our offices are a short drive away). We love out pets, we're active and love going for walks, and our beautiful large fenced yard is a dog's dream.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, we welcome client's dogs to wander freely, unless our client has a crate routine. We do have a large crate that our guests are welcome to use while here. We walk our own dog 3-4 times a day, and also have several free-run sessions in our fenced yard with plenty of toys. NIght times, we wind down with some TV and lots of pets and cuddles before letting our dog and our guests settle where they feel comfortable (even if it's our bed). We have two mature teenage daughters who are a great help as well.

A typical day
We start the early morning with a walk in the neighbourhood. We then let our dogs hang out together in our house and explore if they want. We take several breaks to run and play with toys in our large fenced yard, and then take a neigubourhood aftenoon walk as well.
