Availability

I work from home and run my own business, so my schedule is super flexible—which means your pup will get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My partner is also home full-time, so there’s always someone around to give love, supervision, and belly rubs. 🐾 We currently have 4 of our own rescue dogs, so daily pet care is already a big (and joyful!) part of our routine.

We even have a cozy outbuilding that dogs love—it's like their own private retreat! Every dog is different, and we’re all about creating a calm, personalized environment.

Information Cynthia & David J. would like to know about your pet

Before your pup’s stay, I’d love to know a few key things to make sure they have the best experience possible: What are their likes and dislikes? (Toys? People? Other dogs?) Are they high-energy or more of a couch potato? How’s their recall? (On a scale of 1–10!) Are they social with other dogs, or do they prefer their own space? The more I know upfront, the better I can tailor their stay to match their vibe and keep them happy, safe, and stress-free. 💕🐾

A typical day

A typical day here is all about fresh air, play, and plenty of love! Our guests get lots of supervised yard time to roam, sniff, and explore—including our famous sand pit, which is a total hit for digging and play. 🐾 Outdoor time and treat breaks are sprinkled throughout the day, and there’s always someone home to give your pup attention—my partner Dave is here full time and has a calming presence that dogs really respond to. It’s not long before they’re lounging around with him like they’ve known him forever. Whether your pup loves adventure or just wants to chill, we make sure their day is balanced, fun, and full of care.

Your Dog’s Countryside Retreat 🐕🏡

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Cynthia—lifelong dog lover, rescue mama to 4 amazing pups, and your go-to sitter for high-quality, heart-centered pet care. 🐾 Growing up surrounded by animals, especially dogs, I’ve never known life without a pack. From tiny terriers to big lovable goofballs, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—and I understand exactly what it takes to help each one feel safe, relaxed, and totally at home. My husband and I live on a spacious, fully fenced 4-acre country property just outside Ancaster. It’s like a mini doggy paradise—tons of room to explore, play, and breathe in that fresh country air. 🌿 Our home is thoughtfully set up for comfort and safety. I have a gated main floor to keep our friendly resident dogs separate from guest pups when needed, and each visiting dog gets their own cozy space in our home. Supervision and personalized care are a must for me—every dog is treated like part of the family. Whether your dog is the playful type or just wants to chill and soak up the love, I’ve got the experience, space, and heart to meet them where they’re at. I know how important it is to leave your pup with someone you trust, and I don’t take that lightly. Your dog will be in good hands here—and probably spoiled with cuddles. 💕 Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit! Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!

What wonderful hosts. Was very nice to get photos constantly while we were away. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to board the pet. Was a beautiful property too for the dog to roam around. Completely fenced in yard.

We left our golden with Cynthia and David and it was phenomenal! Finn was well taken care of, we received updates and pictures throughout his stay. Finn is a young golden with lots if energy so the fenced extra large yard was ideal. He will be going back again. Excellent place for your dog!

Cynthia and David were amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog, Remi, with someone else, and I was definitely nervous. From the moment I met Cynthia, she put my mind at ease. She sent regular updates and photos throughout Remi’s stay, which I really appreciated. Remi looked like he was having the best time running around and exploring their large fenced yard. It was clear he was well cared for and having fun. I would absolutely recommend Cynthia and David to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!
