Pet care experience

Lifelong Pet Lovers in Oshawa

Growing up, my best friend was my dog. We spent our days with long walks, park visits, baths, and cozy movie nights. After 19 years together, I truly miss having a furry companion around. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all sorts of dogs and cats (check out my reviews!) and I’ve loved getting to know their unique personalities. As new homeowners, we don’t have pets of our own (yet! lol), but we’d be more than happy to care for yours like they’re our own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, your pet will get lots of love and attention while you're away.

Colin and Rachel took fantastic care of Rosebud. I never need to worry when she is with them.

Rachael and Colin took great care of Zoey. They sent us updates everyday and were very accommodating to our schedule. I will certainly use them again, and highly recommend them.

Rachael took such great care of Lenny. We couldn’t be happier. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Lenny with her again. Finding someone to look after our dog was always difficult until now! Thank you so much Rachael!

Our dogs were pampered like kings and treated like family! Lots of exercise and love, and plenty of updates and photos while we were away.

Bella was taken care of really well by Colin and Rachael. This was her first stay with them, and they were very patient and made sure she was comfortable. They sent me updates with pictures, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable staying with them. It made me feel at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend and book with Rachael and Colin again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a detached home in Oshawa’s pet friendly Vanier neighbourhood. With lots of parks in close proximity your pup would gets lots of exercise.

A typical day

I love to start my day with a morning walk to wake myself and the pup up, followed quickly by a breakfast and fresh water bowl. Throughout the work day shorter bathroom breaks provide a great WFH stretch. Right after work is the perfect time to chill out and watch TV with some belly rubs. In the evenings is play time! Lots of at home backyard playing, as well as a long final walk to wind down before bed.

Please let me know if there are special care instructions, I prefer more detail vs. less to make sure your pup is as comfortable as they can be in your absence. Details such as walk, feeding, brushing and bath schedules, handling preferences, and anything that helps them feel at home.
