Information Kate & Aaron D. would like to know about your pet

We want to provide the best care possible so let us know if your dog has any behaviors or special needs that we can account for. For safety purposes, we feed the pups separately, we will abide by your meal timelines & preferences and follow all of your instructions. Let us know if your pet has any favorite activities, and we’ll be happy to include them!

A typical day

WALKS TWICE A DAY – tailored to each dog’s energy level, from casual strolls to energetic walks around the neighborhood. BACKYARD PLAYTIME – running, playing fetch, or just soaking up the sun in our fenced backyard for safe, off-leash fun. INTERACTIVE PLAY & GAMES – chase, and squeaky toy fun, snuffle mat, and hide-and-seek with treats to keep their minds active (bring your doggie's favourite treats). CUDDLE & RELAXATION TIME – if your pup enjoys belly rubs and snuggles, we're happy to provide plenty of affection and companionship. CAT ENRICHMENT (for feline guests) – interactive wand toys, cozy window watching, and quiet, calming companionship for kitties. PHOTO & VIDEO UPD – I’ll capture adorable moments and send updates.

As always, Kate and Aaron are very attentive to Arizona. She comes back happy. This time when I was dropping her off she didn’t even run after me when I was leaving and that says a lot. Kate brushed her, washed her paws, administrated daily medication and carefully attended all of her needs. Couldn’t be happier!

Our puppy used to come back feeling down after every trip of ours. Ever since we started leaving her with Aaron and Kate she’s been coming back very very happy so that we finally feel relaxed when we r gone! Thank you!

Arizona had a wonderful stay with Kate and Aaron. She settled in quickly and felt comfortable from the very first day. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Really liked those pictures from the back yard playtime. I would definitely book with them again. Arizona loved her time there, and I felt confident leaving her in their spacious home.
