Pet care is my full-time focus — your fur baby will spend the day with me, receiving attention, playtime, games, ball, and social interaction with their new fur friends. I structure each day around their needs, balancing activity, rest, and companionship to create a fun, safe, and enriching environment. Because I am home all day, I can respond to each pet’s unique personality, energy level, and schedule, ensuring they feel happy, cared for, and part of a loving routine.

Playtime is a highlight of every day! Pets enjoy lots of ball games, supervised backyard fun, and engaging indoor activities like hide-and-seek with treats, which provide great mental stimulation. I tailor activities to each pet’s preferences and energy level, ensuring they stay happy, active, and entertained — whether inside on a cold day or in the spacious backyard when the weather allows.

Jo's Fur Babies Retreat

Pet care experience

A loving home-away-from-home where pets can play, relax, and feel like part of the family. With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, horses, fish, and more, I truly love creating a safe, happy space where pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. At Jo’s Fur Babies Retreat, I’ve had the joy of welcoming many new and returning fur babies, building trusted relationships with both pets and their families. Because I am home throughout the day, your fur baby will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Their stay can include indoor play, backyard fun in my large fully fenced yard, quiet rest time, snuggles, or simply lounging on the deck. I always do my best to follow each pet’s usual routine so they feel settled, safe, and at home. Why Pet Parents Choose Jo’s Fur Babies Retreat * Home-based, full-time pet care * Large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play * Gradual introductions for new pets * Daily photo and video updates * Repeat clients and long-term trusted relationships * Safe, loving environment focused on comfort, routine, and fun Fun Activities Include * Supervised backyard playtime * Ball games and enrichment activities * Indoor games and treat hide-and-seek * Snuggle and cuddle time * Quiet rest and relaxation Safety & Care * Pets are closely supervised * Backyard separation gate used when needed * Familiar routines followed whenever possible * Meet & Greets required before first stays Meet & Greet Before a first stay, I require a 15–30 minute Meet & Greet in my backyard. This gives your fur baby a chance to explore, while we chat about their routine, personality, fears, special needs, and anything else that helps me care for them with confidence. My experience also includes helping care for a family “zoo” just outside Sherwood Park, where I assisted with a variety of animals and experienced firsthand the joy animals bring to people every day. I look forward to welcoming your fur baby to their very own vacation retreat, where they can feel safe, loved, and maybe even make a few furrever friends.

I would highly recommend Jodeen for both short- and long-term stays! Our dog’s most recent stay was for 2.5 weeks while we travelled abroad, and I was completely reassured by Jodeen’s daily photo updates and quick response times. We had a relaxing vacation and our pup had a fantastic time!

Jodeen is awesome! I definitely missed my dog more than he missed me because he was having too much fun. Pictures and videos were frequent and let me know he was well taken care of. Thank you Jodeen!

Our pup Freya always has a great time at Jodeen’s. She sends pictures and updates daily and we can tell Freya is very well cared for. We are so glad we found Jodeen and we will continue to book with her time and time again. Thanks Jodeen!

Jodeen is a true animal lover. Our dogs were very well taken care of. Her booking process, attention to detail, and plenty of updates enabled me to feel 100% comfortable that our pups were in very good hands. We will definitely book with Jodeen again! Thank you, Jodeen!
