Doggy Day Care • Jun 29, 2025

Sarah was great with my dog Bailey. He is very anxious and she made him feel right at home. She kept in touch throughout the day and sent lots of photos. I would definitely leave Bailey with Sarah again.

Sarah is amazing! We needed to find someone to watch our Sam very last minute which was stressful. Sarah arranged a meet and greet and we instantly knew we had found the perfect person to care for Sam. Sarah has years of experience caring for dogs and it was evident that she would have no problem with Sam’s twice daily medications, his picky eating, and general neediness (in the best sense). Many things make Sam anxious but he has done so well under Sarah’s care that we honestly think he’s had his best “vacation” ever! We so appreciated the daily updates and photos. Sarah has cared for Sam and loved him like her own, for which we are so grateful! Daily hikes, play times with the sweetest dogs (the best boys ever, Julio & Hutton), and endless snuggles… What more could we ask for! Thank-you so much Sarah!!

This was our first time leaving our dog, Charlie, for an entire week when we were on vacation. We felt so at ease knowing that Sarah was taking care of him the whole time! She sent us daily photos and updates, and gave him so much love and attention in our absence. Sarah was so great with communicating and we really appreciated her kind and warm demeanour toward Charlie! We would definitely have Charlie stay with Sarah again- he loved all the extra attention he was given!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 06, 2025

Sarah was a great dogsitter! We had a meet and greet at her place a few days ago when my dog (Mozart) met her and Julio (her well-behaved doggo.) On the day of daycare, Sarah met us at the door to her building, sent me regular updates and photos of Mozart and I really felt included in their day. All went well! I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was getting great care.

Schedule

Its important that you describe your dogs routine so I can accommodate and mimic his normal routine. I provide 3-5 good walks per day/evening-unless you specify (requires less, senior animal, previous surgery). I will play ball with your dog (outside in an enclosed space) if he/she likes to fetch. I take daily hikes on our beautiful trails if your dog is into that! He/she can rest beside me on my bed or in his/her bed next to me (whatever is most comfortable). I usually always include a visit to the local pet store down my street so they can smell/choose a treat! I do lots of outings. Your dog will NEVER be bored. If he/she prefers to sleep often, that's ok too!

Safety, trust & environment

Lots of Cuddles/Exercise/Safety are my biggest priority. I have a spacious home just steps to the trails and a lovely neighbourhood great for walking. I keep my home very clean. It is completely safety proofed. Your dog will be walked privately, on a leash (or off when we are in a leash free location - with your permission). Dogs are fed separately. I don't take "chances" when it comes to taking care of your pet.

Pets

A typical day

Daily exercise with 3-5 walks depending on daycare or boarding overnight. They are not any set schedule of mine. You can describe your dogs typical day and I will accommodate. He/she will be safe and will feel loved. I provide a home away from home experience. It is my goal to make your dog feel relaxed, de-stressed, knowing he/she is appreciated just like at home.

What time does your dog typically get up/go to sleep How is your dog in the car? Where do they sit in the car. Does your dog have separation anxiety? Is your dog destructive if left alone? Is your dog a biter? Is your dog an excessive barker? Does your dog pull when on a leash? What does your dog eat? Does your dog have food aggression? Do you have special words or commands your dogs knows? Do you say "down" or "off" when he jumps up? Medical conditions (ie Allergies) or daily medications?
