Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, safe and fun!
Treat your dog to some pampering in the most loving, nurturing environment where their every need can be catered to. You can relax knowing your pupper will be taken care of as our own, including cuddles, playtime and interactive games. Our big back yard is perfect for zoomies, squirrel gazing and sniffing flowers, and burrowing your snoot in soft grass and clover. Enjoy walks along the river trails and treed neighbourhood and parks, and naps in the sundrenched back yard and peoplewatching through our big windows. We are also happy to take your pup to the beautiful, fully fenced in, Sue Higgins Off Leash Park. Book your dog in for some super fun extras including basic agility, individual long leash walks along the river ( we go up to 15k!), a full brush and wash, and training. We always send you plenty of insta-worthy pet portraits. We are also able to make sure your dog has all their meds at the right time and many other special needs and dog training. Let us know if you want any of these fun additions. Your pets visit comes complete with our resident cat to enjoy from a distance-that means your dog must not view cats as a midday snack! Have an older dog who just can't be bothered about much else but naps? We have safe, sunny places to while away the day, near a snuggly human and a scritch. We have flexible rates for ongoing care, We are happy to offer meet and greets once your pups stay is confirmed, going over any specific care instructions you may have and reinforcing that your dog will have the ultimutt in care. If you have any concerns we will provide free cancelation after the meet up. Special rates for 2 dog stays!

Ratings and reviews
I have 2 great danes, one of them being a very needy high maintenance senior. Finding care for both of them can be quite challenging but Alissa was the absolute perfect match! She was so caring, patient and compassionate and completely put my mind at ease with her regular updates. I will be going to her first for any future care and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great dog sitter!
Alissa was wonderful. She kept in constant contact, was accommodating and so friendly. Finn seemed yo have a blast.
Alissa was amazing with our big guy! ❤️ We were a bit nervous since it was our first time leaving him with someone else, but she made us feel completely comfortable from the start. She took great care of him, kept us updated, and gave him lots of love and attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which told us everything we needed to know! 🐶 We would definitely trust Alissa with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, kind, and trustworthy. Thank you so much, Alissa! 🐾❤️
Alissa was great with Buffett and flexible with drop off/pick up times. Lots of walks, pictures, video., etc. highly recommend!
Good communication and my 3 dogs seemed very happy to be staying with Alissa. Will definitely book again! Thank you
Alissa was a fantastic dog sitter. She was extremely professional, got to know Cola right away and provided us with so many updates during her stay. The communication definitely calmed my stress about leaving our dog with her. It was our first experience with a sitter outside of our own family and it was a great experience. I would re-book with Alissa again!

Your pup will enjoy brain games, snuggles and walks that are suitable to their needs. We try to head out on trails and to the mountains when we can and we take boarders whenever possible! Snuggles and pets are endless, lots of prime sundrenched napping spots. We offer extra services such as extended walks, agility skills, as well as basic grooming. Daycare is available with dropoffs as early as 730am and pick ups through to 630pm, which can be extended if we have no boarding booked. Our rate is for maximum of 10 hours. Drop offs for petsitting are 3pm and pick up by 11 am. Please contact us for extended or repeating hours at a different fee. We also offer emergency help. If you are in a situation where you need immediate help or have extenuating circumstances, please contact us regardless of what are availability is posted as. We are always happy to do meet and greets once your booking is confirmed and cancellations immediately after the meet up if you have any concerns. If your dog has extensive protocols or needs, reactivity or you are including extended services, we can schedule a meet and greet prior to your booking being confirmed.
