Pet care experience
Ex Dog Owner - Dog Adventures await
My French Bulldog mix passed away 3 years ago at the old age of 13. Since then I've been wanting a new dog but with kids and life it's just not the right time for our family. Hoping to fill the void by caring for your pet! I would be honored if you trusted us with caring for a member of your family. Dogs who stay with me get walks through the beautiful University of Alberta farm. I would love to try and run with your dog as well if they would like that. I typically run 3-5 km once per week and my previous house guests seem to love the excersize. In the summer we often spend weekends at the family cabin and our furry friends always have an amazing time visiting. The cabin is 1 hour west of the city - a perfect dog retreat. All furry visitors are welcome and showered with attention. All family at the cabin are either previous or current dog owners including two that have been through service dog training.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you for the amazing care you took of my baby! Your communication and photo updates were amazing:) definitely would book again
Carole was great with Phoebe, providing regular updates and pictures while we were away for the Christmas holiday.
Carole was great with Gypsy who can be nervous. She looked calm and tired when I picked her up. Carole sent photos and updates to let me know how things were going, and was easy to communicate with. I would certainly have Carole look after Gypsy again.
Carol and her family were great. Splat got along wonderfully with everyone and they made special accommodations for his clinginess. Would leave him with them any day.
Carole was fantastic with Bo. He was well taken care of and got lots of outside time. We’re so grateful for her and her family’s care.
We highly recommend Carole. It was our first time leaving Aki to a dog sitter and he loved it. My dog is an energetic puppy and glad Carole was able to manage him. Carole sent us pictures and updates of Aki which lessened our worries. We highly recommend her and will surely come back to her.

Schedule
I do work full time but close to home. Our household, along with two boys one 15 and one 7 years old. Evenings are spent together enjoying the outdoors when we can. We'd love to have a dog come and enjoy our evening time together and helping us make sure we don't skip our evening walks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We would love your pet as if they were our own. Daily walks, love and attention. Pets would sleep with me or in the crate whatever you prefer. Can keep up with training as needed.
A typical day
Love going for walks around the university farm which is just by our place. Keeping up any commands and training is something I enjoy. Dog parks such as the Millcreek ravine is great if the dogs are behaved for off leash
