Walks, Treats & Weekend Retreats!

I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for my friends and family for years and have lots of experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and fab personalities, but i’ve got a soft spot for large breeds and senior pups. Total bonus if both ✨. I’m happy to come visit and/or stay at your place, keeping up with usual routines and taking them around all their favourite neighbourhood spots. I love a good long walk and adventure, but I’m equally happy hanging out at home with a dog whose idea of a perfect evening is plenty of snacks, couch cuddles and absolutely no plans. Basically, I want your dog to have a little lovely vacation while you’re having yours. Regular walks (if they’re into that kind of thing), constant attention, cozy nights, an unreasonable number of belly rubs… very exclusive resort i run around these parts, limited furry clientele. And yes, you’ll for sure get lots of photos and videos. Partly for your peace of mind and partly because there is almost no chance I’m hanging out with your dog all day without taking so many glamour shots while we become best pals.

Sara has been looking after our girls for quite a few years now. When I tell the dogs she is coming over, they wait at the window for her. She is so kind and caring with my very anxious dog, and the other dog doesn't leave her side.We are thankful to have Sara "babysit", we never worry while we are away because we know the dogs are having the time of their lives. We have 100% trust in her staying in our home.

Boarding • Aug 14, 2024

Sara is everything you need in a perfect sitter for your pup! She is very friendly, realiable, trustworthy and responsive. She sends updates with picture and video. My puppy just loves her and can't wait for another boarding with her!

Sara is some sort of dog whisperer. She has spent many hours with my boy, Norman. Norman is a large golden doodle with a lot of energy. Sara always shows up ready to play, and care for Norm. Her love and compassion for animals shines bright. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Schedule

My schedule allows me to offer house sitting visits and/or boarding from Friday through Monday, and I’m able to fully stay at your place during that time. I love being able to settle into your pup’s normal routines with them. Basically, they get to stay in their own little staycation hotel without actually going anywhere. Same bed, same neighbourhood walks, same routine… just a new temp concierge who is way too invested in their diet and plans for the weekend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced double back lot with plenty of room for zoomies, plus a large park, bike path and rink nearby for long walks and adventures. The property gets excellent reviews from the zoomies crowd. At your place, I’m happy to keep their usual routines, favourite routes and house rules intact so they can stay as comfortable in their own space as possible while you’re away.

A typical day

We’ll sniff out all the best neighbourhood smells on park adventures, play a few treat-filled games and of course, make plenty of time for belly rubs and maximum lounging around. I’ll happily match their usual energy levels. The adventure package catered very differently than the spa package on the couch.

Every guest has their preferences! It’s helpful to know your pup’s favourite treats, allergies, usual walking routes, playtime zoomie preferences and any specific commands or little quirks. I also love to know how they are around other dogs, any medical needs or concerns, and their general energy level. Basically, anything that helps me get to know them and make sure our time together is equal parts fun, comfortable annnnd safe for all! ✌️
