Trusted & Worry Free Pet Care!

I am located in Listowel and I look forward to meeting your pet! I provide pet care in the areas of Listowel, Walkerton, Durham, Hanover, Mount Forest, Harriston, Gorrie, Palmerston, Atwood, Gowanston. I have had guest pets from Listowel, Hanover, Mount Forest, Atwood, Durham, Walkerton, Mississauga, Brampton, Marathon, and the United States. I accept bookings for your vacation, weekend getaway’s or your shopping trip’s. Dogs - Dog boarding (only 1 large or 2 under 20 lbs dog guest(s) at a time), letting your dog out while you work, dog daycare, administering oral medication and dog walking. Cats - home visits to your home for feeding, administering oral medication, petting, brushing, scooping the cat litter. House sitting - home visits to your home to ensure your house looks lived in and includes checking the mail, picking up flyers, checking the house, watering your plants, shovelling snow or coordinating snow removal, emptying the dehumidifier, checking the basement for leaks, feeding your fish, putting out the recycle/garbage bin. Hamsters, Gerbils and other small caged animals - feed, water and change the sawdust My goal is to provide worry-free and affordable care for your pet when you are away. Whether you're jetting off on vacation, camping, boating, visiting with relatives, going back home to visit family you haven’t seen in awhile, dealing with a hospital stay, or traveling for business, rest assured that your pet will be in loving hands. We believe that your pet's vacay shouldn't break the bank, which is why I offer competitive and reasonable rates for all types of stays, including long-term boarding. We know that leaving your pet behind can be tough, so we strive to make the experience as seamless and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will be treated as a special guest in our home. They'll fully integrate into our household routine, receiving plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. Ellie Mae our Walker Hound has been socialized, trained and is a great companion for guest dogs. They will walk together and play together if they wish. Typically walks are 40 minutes however I adapt with what the guest is used to.

Boarding • Aug 06, 2026

This was the first time we left our 15 month old golden retriever. Deborah made us comfortable from the moment we met her. Prior to leaving four our week of vacation, Deborah asked all the right questions to ensure Rex was comfortable during his stay with her. We received daily updates on how Rex was doing and he received tons of exercise and socialization which is so important for our super hyper puppy. By the time we returned, Rex was no longer pulling on his walks and he now goes right into his crate when he is tired. I cannot say enough good things about Deborah and her care and training of our puppy while we were away. I would not hesitate to have Deborah care for Rex again as he had an amazing time and learned some manners during his stay.

This is DJ’s second stay with Deborah and he had a blast yet again! She’s very attentive to his needs and gives him the opportunity to feel right at home in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates on his stay which is always a great piece of mind. I would definitely recommend Deborah for your pet care needs!

Deborah was great with Jack and embraced the high energy breed lifestyle. Her dog Ellie was a perfect friend and they went on three outings to different dog parks! She gave us lots of pictures and updates while we were away and had everything prepared for us to pick him up. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone needing a sitter!

Thank you again Deb! Sully had a wonderful time with you. He is definitely missing Ellie and all the play time. We will rebook with you in the future! Many thanks

I boarded my dog here for a few nights and had a really positive experience. My dog is a rescue and can be a bit anxious with some behavioral quirks. She was incredibly understanding and patient with him. I appreciated how attentive she was and how comfortable he seemed in her care. I received updates throughout his stay, which helped put my mind at ease. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, we will be returning for future stays.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs on a walk on the trail beside our home and in different neighbourhoods. We especially love going to Mitchell and Stratford dog parks and we frequent the Abbey Bolton Memorial Dog park when we are in Port Elgin in the spring and summer.
