Little Family Big Hearts for Dogs

My wife and I have taken care of dogs our entire lives. We both had them as kids. And as adults we recently lost our golden. But we want our kids to enjoy taking care of an animal until we are ready for our own. We have boarded dogs many times already for friends. And of kids are great with them.

As always, we had another amazing experience leaving Stella with Bob, Katie, and their wonderful kids. Stella absolutely loves staying with them, and we truly can’t say enough good things about the care they provide. Being able to enjoy a completely stress-free vacation knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands means everything to us. Bob and Katie will always be our first choice whenever we need a dog sitter!

Bob and Katie took our dogs while we were out of town and it was supposed to be for four nights but they canceled early because they said Duke peed in the house. However after asking for a refund they did not do this and charge me a fee for canceling when it was them who canceled and ruined my trip by having to come back early

Bob and Katie took such great care of Poppy. They kept us up to date on how things were going which made us feel relaxed knowing she was cared for.

We left our dog Molly with Bob and Katie for 2 weeks. Molly is a very nervous girl and doesn’t like meeting new people or dogs. After a few days Bob and Katie had Molly settled down and feeling like one of the family, sitting on the couch with them for movie night and mooching in the kitchen 🤣 We very much appreciate that they stuck it out with our high maintenance girl and hope that we will be able to book them again if we go away.

Amazing! Took my dog for an extra night when I was stranded in Vancouver due to weather issues and flying.

Bob, Katie and Family, were fantastic to work with regarding the care for my cat while I had to be away for work! I was provided with daily updates and pictures!!! Really eased my stress while being away and allowed me to focus on work knowing Steven was really well taken care of. 10/10 will be rebooking in the future!
