Loving home backing trails

We are an early 60 yr old couple who very recently said our goodbyes to our 17 yr 8 month old bichon/havenese Tucker 💔. We live in a lovely area with a huge fenced yard backing onto the St. Albert trail system. I am home fulltime and Craig (dog whisperer) has a flexible part time schedule. We love dogs! With easy access to the parks, dogs who vacation with us can enjoy at least 2 to 3 walks per day! Of course there is always ongoing daily activities including playing ball and running along the rear fence of our yard watching, sniffing and chasing who ever walks along the path! I have had a regular dog walking client for 3 years that will be ceasing in March 25. Both their dogs were large breed and enjoyed a 5 plus km walk 4 days a week with me. I am looking to fill that spot and can provide a reference from their fur family to you! We have always owned at least one dog and we happily spoil others including the neighbourhood dogs who come for their frequent belly scratches! Fur babies staying here are our family members!

Debbie and Craig were absolutely amazing! Our dog, Poppy, settled in so nicely with them, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. We could really tell her and Craig treated Poppy as if she was their own! She was so spoiled with multiple walks per day and lots of snuggles! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

We felt so confident leaving our pup with these two. Their calm and accepting manner from the get go was exceptional and they welcomed our dog into their home like he was their own. We loved that he was walked regularly and that they communicated daily with us during our absence. We would not hesitate to leave him again as he was so happy and settled in their home. We appreciate this feeling.

Debbie and Craig were amazing and took great care of our dog. They were easy to work with and sent timely updates and photos. Will definitely ask them to watch our dog next time we need to head out of town!!

From the first messages sent as an inquiry to picking up our Charlie after his stay the whole experience with Debbie and Craig was wonderful! I love that they did a meet and greet first as it was good for me to see how they interacted with Charlie and vice versa. I received multiple texts and photos during his stay and could tell he was feeling comfortable and being well taken care of. When I picked him up he was happy and exhausted from so much play time! I definitely highly recommend Debbie and Craig! Your pup will be well loved and well cared for!

Debbie was incredible with our Daisy (miniature poodle) while we were away over Christmas. We were really nervous about her getting out (she can be an escape artist!!) and she went above and beyond to block doors and make sure the backyard was secure. She sent us photo updates regularly and took Daisy on more walks than she gets at home 😂🙌🏻 I felt so good knowing she was well taken care of and we’ll definitely book with Debbie again the next time we need a dog sitter!

Debbie was a fantastic host and dog sitter for our elderly pug! She went above and beyond working with her dietary adjustments as well as being communicative and providing us regular updates to make us feel at ease. I would highly recommend reaching out to Debbie if you’re looking for a welcoming home with a trustworthy sitter for your dog. We would definitely come back to her again for a future stay with our pug Etta!
