I work weekdays from 8 to 4 and my partner works three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives us four full days off to dedicate quality time to caring for your pets. So together we’re home most of the time to provide company and attention. We’re happy to welcome dogs any time or day, especially over the weekends when we have plenty of free time to keep them active and happy!

Information Colby M. would like to know about your pet

We want to make sure your dog feels comfortable and happy while in our care, so we’d love to know their usual routine. Please let us know their preferences when it comes to walk length, pace, and favorite types of routes—whether they enjoy peaceful neighborhood strolls, park adventures, or exploring new spots. It's also helpful to know how they are around other dogs, so we can plan the best kind of walk and social setting for them. The more we know, the better we can tailor our time together to suit your dog’s needs!

A typical day

Whether your pup loves high-energy play or a calm stroll, I tailor our time together to their needs. We often visit the local park, where the agility course is a favorite for active dogs who enjoy jumping, weaving, and exploring new challenges. For dogs who prefer a more relaxed pace, we take gentle walks around the local area, enjoying the sights and smells while getting fresh air and exercise. No matter their style, your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and fun while you're away!

Thank you so much to Colby and Alix for taking such good care of Shelby. It is so nice to be able to go away and not have to worry about things. Will definitely go back!!

Great stay with Colby and Alix. Cooper had the best time and we felt really secure knowing he was being looked after so well.

Genuinely lovely people. Perfect for looking after precious fur family and our home. Our dog can be very anxious but immediately took very well to the company of Alix and Colby. Will definitely use again. Thanks x
