Ratings and reviews
Dana went above and beyond to get our dog from a situation he was not comfortable with while we were away. We had to switch sitters mid stay. She even drove across the city to pick him up. She then ensured his experience was positive for the remainder of his stay with her. We picked up a very happy dog. Thank you Dana!
Dana was amazing with my pups for 6 days!! :)
Dana is great! Our two puppies were really well taken care of, we could see that because they were not super hungry or thirsty. Nor did they have those stressed stools after coming home. So I can tell they had a calm environment, which is more important to me than having extra activities or crazy fun.
First time using Rover and Dana has been amazing with our Golden Retriever Winston. We've had him stay in a kennel before when we go on vacation, only to be told they've been having a hard time finding him a playmate that can match his energy. Seemed like our Golden Retriever had no problems making friends staying with Dana. Getting updates with pictures of him was very much appreciated. He loved his time with her.
We feel very lucky to have found Dana. This was the second time she looked after our dogs, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that they were safe, happy and loved. Communication was great, she sent many updates and pictures, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Dana is a reliable and knowledgeable pet sitter, and we will book her again without hesitation.
Our dogs love going to Dana’s house! She’s professional, knowledgeable and it’s clear she loves dogs and all animals. Thanks again, Dana!

Congrats!!! You’ve made it this far! I am an animal lover all around! My son and I have 3 seniors and one 4yr old service dog. We are no stranger to any type of behavioural issues you may have! I am working towards a sanctuary/rescue boarding facility! If you are looking to add an addition to your family, let me know! I like to think that my family and I don't offer just a boarding service, but a vacation time to our furry friend. If we go on vacation they can too!! I am a pet lover, I like them all in colour, shapes and personalities.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Over the past 20 years, I have been highly active in rescue. Doing so I have learned much about myself but more about dogs. I have taken many training courses as well as attended many seminars with different type of training techniques. I personally know how hard it is to find a place you know and trust. Our first priority is safety. I believe in positive reinforcement training for dogs of all behavioural levels and breeds. We welcome dogs with issues from fear, aggression, prey drive, dogs with issues walking, xlarge breeds, pack walks, and of course balanced dogs too! .
Pets
A typical day
Morning- Everyone goes out one by one, to make sure everyone's poops are a-OK. Feeding- Everyone gets fed separately, to avoid guarding and allergy issues. (unless they need a buddy to encourage them to eat) 100% access to water. Rest- Before everyone gets too ramped up, we give time to digest some food! Walks/Play groups- All pups get their first walk of the day, and off leash play groups (if permitted) in a fully fenced yard area(weather permitting). Relax time- All dogs are given ample "chill out time" between play times More play time- Every day is different, from mind games to treat training to treadmill work. Dinner- Same rules as breakfast. As well if a dog needs lunch they will receive it at the correct time. Digest time before evening walks. Walks- Pee/poop before bed. Sleep- Every dog will be separated from each other(unless from the same household) for safety reasons. All dogs are placed where they are the most comfortable. Whether it is in a crate/room/or in bed with one of us. All visitors will get at least two walks per day(weather permitting). All schedules can change, depending on each individual dog.
