dog lovers with tons of experience

My partner Ben and I have tons of experience looking after dogs. I have had a family dog for 10 years that I walked 2-3 times/day when I lived with my parents. I have also walked and dog sat for neighbours periodically for over 5 years. In 2021 I became a dog foster mom and fostered 3 dogs with my previous roommates. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages and have also taken care of dogs that have required medications. Ben has also grown up with dogs and has been around them his whole life. He worked at a dog kennel and has dog sat all types of dogs for friends and family for over 10 years.

Miriam and Ben are the absolute best! They treated Sonny like their own - and Fig was his best friend the entire few days he stayed with them. They kept me up to date on everything going on the perfect amount along with the cutest photos of Sonny’s day to day. Sonny was tuckered out by the time I came and got him from all the fun they had! Will be re-booking always for the future :) Thanks you guys!

Miriam and Ben are the best! Or boys are always well exhausted after a visit. We know how much fun they have with their buddy Fig! We highly recommend them.

Miriam and Ben took amazing care of our husky, June. We got daily updates letting us know what she had been up to and how she was doing. She was well looked after with Miriam and Ben!

I can’t thank Miriam and Benjamin and Fig enough for the love and care they gave my guy! They sent lots of updates and were always super quick to respond, which gave me such peace of mind. Having a sweet dog for Beau to play with was just an added bonus. I always know he’s had a great time when he doesn’t want to leave—and that was definitely the case here. Beau can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Pets

A typical day

We are very avid walkers and love taking our rover dogs for tons of walks. Monday-Friday we take them for 3-4 walks - long walk before work, medium walk at lunch, very long walk after work, medium walk before bed (in summer). We live close to High Park and Trinity Bellwoods so we frequent both those parks on walks. In the summer, we like going to Sunnyside Beach or taking a trip in the car to the dog beach in the Beaches.
