Sydney & Derek went above and beyond watching my pup while I was out of town. Very communicative and sent pictures throughout his stay. You could tell they genuinely love watching dogs and will definitely work with them again!

Sydney and Derek were fantastic! They kept me updated throughout the day with photos of what they were doing, took Gallagher on walks, and clearly gave him a lot of care and attention. It was really reassuring to see how happy and well looked after he was. I’ll definitely be using them again!

Sydney and Derek were great! They made sure to stay in touch with photos and updates, with nice walks for Hugo! They had no problem taking care of him post-surgery, and very flexible with my work schedule. I will definitely be using them in the future!!

We’re weekend warriors. We get home from work at 5:30 pm on Fridays and are completely off on Saturdays and Sundays. This means your dog gets our full attention all weekend long. Whether it’s for a walk, daycare, or an overnight stay, we’re dedicated to giving every pup the playtime and care they deserve during our time off.

Safety, trust & environment

We keep a clean and peaceful home where dogs can truly relax. We’re mindful of every pet's comfort level and stick to the routines they know best. When we're in your home, we treat your space with total respect and keep your pup happy in their own environment.

A typical day

Our days start with fresh air at the dog park right outside our apartment. If your pup has the energy, we love heading to the nearby rail trail for a longer stroll. The rest of the day is a mix of play, belly rubs, and cozy downtime. We follow your dog’s usual routine to make sure they feel loved and safe.

We want every dog to feel right at home with us. Please let us know a little more about your pup. 1. Eating habits: Are they a grazer or do they eat at specific times? 2. Sleep style: Where do they prefer to sleep? On the couch, a dog bed, or somewhere else? 3. Triggers: Any specific fears or things we should avoid to keep them happy? 4. Leash manners: How do they do on walks? We’ll follow your care instructions closely to make sure your pup feels safe and loved while they’re with us.
