Pet care experience
Home full time & beside dog park!
Welcome to the ultimate Doggie Daycation! Please note: I used to be a star sitter but I took alot of time off because I had a baby and lost my star sitter status :-( to rebuild my business I occasionally offer promotional prices for first time clients ( excluding holidays ) feel free to message me for more details! My husband and I have been caring for dogs for over 25 years, and animals have always been a huge part of our lives and home. We recently lost our beloved dog, Dartanian, a gentle and lovable Collie-Poodle mix who brought so much joy to everyone he met. He absolutely adored other dogs, and caring for him only deepened our love for welcoming furry friends into our lives. We miss him dearly and would love nothing more than to continue sharing our home with other dogs who need a safe, loving place to stay. We now share our home with Beatrice, our adorable long-haired Chihuahua. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and has been around other dogs since she was little, so she is very comfortable having other pups in the home. She has a calm and easygoing nature, which helps visiting dogs settle in quickly and feel right at home with us. Both my husband and I work from home, so there is almost always someone here to provide attention, supervision, cuddles, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. We also welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world last year, and because we have a young child in the home, we try to limit things to ideally only one guest dog at a time whenever possible. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we ask that visiting dogs are gentle and comfortable around young children. We live in a lovely home with a nice yard and are right beside an off-leash dog park, which makes for lots of fun walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. We already care for several dogs in our neighbourhood, and our home is a calm, loving environment where dogs are treated like family. My husband is wonderfully patient and intuitive with animals. Friends and neighbours often joke that he’s a bit of a dog whisperer. We know how important it is to leave your dog somewhere they’ll feel safe, loved, and cared for, and we would be so happy to welcome your pup into our home and hearts. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!

Ratings and reviews
My dog, Cooper, enjoyed his stay at Laura’s place. She made sure that he got his daily walks and even took him out for a few trips at the Arboretum. We will definitely rebook whenever we’re in town.
Great care given to our dog. A+++
Laura was a conscientious carer for my dog for almost 3 weeks. She did two shorter visits or trials prior to my departure, to ensure that he was comfortable in her home. Throughout my trip I received regular communication and updates, despite the difficult circumstances of her own dog's passing. Waldo received excellent care and regular long walks, was extremely happy in the home environment, and seemed almost reluctant to leave! Thank you Laura.
Rook is so happy with auntie Laura😉 who always provide daily pictures ( happy mom too:). Yesterday he ran to her door even after several months without having seen her🙃🙃🙃
Laura took wonderful care of my dog, a large, old husky to the point that he didn't really want to leave! They let him spend time outside hanging out which is all he really wants to do all day. Thanks again!!!
Laura and Pascal are true dog lovers. Maggie was full of hugs when saying goodbye and was clearly well cared for.

Schedule
My husband and I work from home full time so we have lots of time to care for pets ! We are both off at 5 every day and off on weekends !
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take them on leash to the nearby park and around the block ! I am very good at adapting to individual needs, I have looked after dogs who needed needles every 12 hrs, dogs who were picky eaters, dogs who needed a pee pad....you name it ...we have looked after easily 50 different dogs in our home :)
Pets
A typical day
My husband and I love to engage with the dogs ....have them run and play in the park, play with fun toys with them, etc. I try to send pics and updates on your loveable pets every day ! We like to take them to the big dog parks on the weekends for extended walks. Your puppy is going to really love our place!
