5 x the love ❤️ and plenty of walks

Pet care experience

We are a family of five with tons of love to give! Our kids ages 11-17 have grown up with cats and dogs. We sadly had to say goodbye to our fur baby this summer and are missing our doggy cuddles. We are not ready to welcome a new puppy into our family but would love to be a home away from home for others. We are an active family who enjoys walks but also love the quiet cuddles. Your fur baby will get plenty of attention, play time, walks, and cuddles between the 5 of us. We also volunteer with Sit With Me Rescue as a temporary foster for dogs. We have gone through their interview and home visit process as well as a reference check. It has been so wonderful having the company of different foster dogs in our home while their foster parent is away for a weekend or for longer trips.

Janice and Rene were absolutely wonderful with Avro! They were incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. It was clear from every update that Avro was having a fantastic time and felt right at home with their family. We couldn't have asked for better caregivers and would happily trust them with Avro again in the future.

Rene and Janice were wonderful with my sweet old man Dexter! They loved him like he was their own. They were incredibly flexible at both pick up and drop off when a complication with flights and traffics impacted original times. This took a lot of pressure off a stressful situation. Dexter can’t wait to go back soon!

Janice and Rene did a fantastic job with sitting Toast. They provided updates and pictures throughout my pups stay, and I truly felt at ease knowing that Toast was comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
