Fam of 4 Shedding Love

We love dogs, but we don’t want the commitment so we’ve taken on the role of sitting as a family. Over the years we’ve had several dogs in our home, ranging from 1 night to 3 weeks, all different breeds, and up to three dogs (from the same home) all at once for a weekend. It’s important to us that your dog is comfortable so we ask for lots of instructions from you, as the owner, as we strive to maintain as much of your pup’s routine as we can, while heaping loads of love and attention on them as they adjust to their temporary environment. We love to take them for walks and our kids really enjoy playing with them. In the evening, they’ll get a lot of snuggles to help wind them down for a good sleep - in their crate, on the floor, on the couch or in our bed (if that’s what they need). We know how special pets are and we feel honoured anytime someone chooses to trust us with theirs!

Gigi (and I) are so pleased with the wonderful care received during her stay with your family. The care and daily feedback was very appreciated and we are VERY grateful - especially when willing to add an impromptu day to Gigi’s stay.You will come highly recommended by me if I am contacted and I would have no qualms in having you take care of Gigi again. Thanks, Gigi and Anne

Steve seemed to be very content and happy when he was picked up. Jolene was great with communicating with us and letting us know how Steve was doing. Lots of sweet pictures! Steve said he would love to go back !

Jolene and her family were so kind and welcoming to us! Communication was great — we even had a meet and greet beforehand to introduce Beauty and talk about her needs. Beauty came home both days just ready to sleep, so I’m sure she had a fantastic time! I would definitely book with Jolene and her family again.

Schedule

I (mom) work from home so my schedule allows ample time to ensure your pup has lots of attention. The kids and my husband are home during the evenings and weekends…more opportunity for love, playtime and walks.

Safety, trust & environment

We do our best to keep our guests comfortable. Any inconvenience for us is temporary and for them a new environment without their people can be intimidating so whatever they need, we do our best to provide it. Lots of walks, playtime, outdoor time in our fenced yard, middle of the night potty breaks (if they happen to wake up), car rides, etc.

A typical day

It’s all about what your dog needs. We like to play tug-o-war with their toys, we can chase them around the house or backyard. If fetch is what they like, we can do that too.

16 to 40 lbs

We ask to know their bedtime routine and eating schedule, as well as their tell for when they need to go outside. Any commands you can provide to keep things consistent is also helpful for all of us.
