Cozy and Caring Pet Care 🐾✨

🐾 Hi, I’m Donna! I offer overnight boarding and drop in care for your furry family members. I also offer dog walking at an affordable price you can trust. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I’m home full-time, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I treat every dog like part of the family and do my best to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood with beautiful walking trails, parks, and green space nearby. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog receives lots of one-on-one attention in a calm, family environment. Dogs are welcome to relax on the couch, sleep on their own bed, or use a crate if that’s what they’re most comfortable with. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Family Home My home includes young children (ages 1–6), so I’m best suited for dogs who are friendly around kids. My kids have grown up around animals and are taught to respect their space. ❤️ Experience With • Puppies • Senior dogs • High-energy dogs • Anxious dogs • Small, medium, and large breeds I follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! 💛🐾

Thank you very much, Donna, for accepting Pip on such short notice. We really appreciate your time and the excellent care you provided for Pip. Pip enjoyed being around the children and getting lots of attention from your family. I will definitely keep you in mind if I need boarding for Pip in the future. Thank you once again for all your attention and care.
