Excellent communication. Pickup and drop-off was so easy. Appreciated the pictures coming through. Ollie came back a very tired boy. Thank you Jake and Ellen (and Shea) !!

Lastly, if your dog is friendly, great! Because ours is too. Shea loves to play with any type of dog. Best part, is that our high rise has a dog park. Makes it easy to take care of your dog.

Availability

I currently work hybrid, so can watch dogs on the days I work from home, or weekends of course. I’ll post my availability, so you can see it there. Also, if your booking day-care, please be timely with pick-up. If you were to use a kennel, they charge a late fee for every minute late cause they pay workers to stay overtime. I won’t charge per minute, but will add a little bit if it becomes a major inconvenience within reason.
