Rocky had a great stay! They kept in touch and sent me pictures throughout his visit, and he always looked like he was having fun. They had extra toys for him to play with and even gave him fresh fish as treats, which he loved. I felt comfortable knowing he was being well cared for, and I would happily leave Rocky with them again.

Ruby had a fabulous stay with Valerie for a few days while my husband and I went to Quebec for a work trip. Valerie has a beautiful home right by the lake and she made sure that Ruby was comfortable and pampered her with lots of attention and affection. This was Ruby’s second stay with Valerie and we can’t recommend her enough! She is wonderful with dogs, especially those with separation anxiety.

Valerie is a kind and caring pet sitter. She took care of my fur baby even at an unbelievably early hour, made me feel at ease, and ensured that our dog was comfortable and had fun playing. I’ll definitely book with her again next time.

Valerie did an amazing job watching our miniature dachshund Ruby over the weekend while my husband and I got married in MacTier! She has a lovely home in a beautiful location and did her very best to make Ruby comfortable and give her lots of attention and cuddles. Would highly recommend her for dogs with separation anxiety!

It is important for both your precious furry friend and me, as a temporary caregiver, to know anxieties, fears, and allergies. I am very emotional when a client is in my care to give them the most comforting experience available from me.
