Dog Lovers @ Heart

We've recently had to say goodbye to our adored 16 year old Miniature Dachshund and our family of four is seeking to share our home and love with other dogs. I am available to care for your dog during the day as I am not working and our two older children are in school. I am often not away from the house for more than 1 -2 hours at a time and I love spending time outdoors. We live in a pet friendly neighbourhood with sidewalks and easy access to both paved and wooded paths near the lake for lots of walks. While our backyards is not fully fenced, we do have a walkout deck and private grassy and wooded area for play and supervised breaks. We have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I would be excited to learn more about your pet and can tailor my care for their unique needs.

Shawna and family have been our Teddy’s home away from home and we have always been so pleased with the care and love they provide. From the numerous walks, playing catch and comfy rest periods all her needs are exceeded. Strongly recommend them for your pets care.

Amazing sitter in every aspect. Our mini doodle fit in well and we look forward to future sittings with Shawna and Chris. Highly recommended.

I can not recommend Shawna and her family enough! They are great communicators, very attentive and give so much love to my little pup! Zettie is always excited to see them, and I am at ease knowing she’s in such great hands 🥹

Shawna & Chris were amazing!! They took great care of our 2 pups and the updates they sent every day were awesome and just what we needed while we were away from our fur babies. We would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Shawna and Chris were our very first sitters with Rover and the experience has been anything but pleasant. They actually made sure we are always well informed and respected our very specific needs for our 2 month old pup. They also prepped treats for Chikoo and made sure he got the care he needed. If anything I can say, they really go above and beyond to make you feel secure about your furbaby while you are away. 10/10 service
