Pet care experience

My husband and I are passionate dog lovers and experienced pet caregivers based in Renfrew, just a stone's throw away from downtown. We used to foster lots of dogs and we currently share our home with Chester, our beloved canine companion. With both of us working from home, your furry friends will receive round-the-clock attention and care. We understand how important it is for you to feel at ease while you're away, so we strive to make your time apart from your pet as stress-free as possible. We are dedicated to meeting all your specific requests and ensuring your dog feels comfortable, loved, and entertained. Our house is fully fenced with numerous beautiful parks and walking paths nearby. Your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor adventures! To keep you connected with your pet, we will send daily updates and photos, so you can see how much fun they're having and how well they're being cared for. Choose us for your pet sitting needs, and rest assured that your four-legged family member will be in good hands.

Vanessa and her family were so fantastic with my dog, Wally. We immediately felt comfortable leaving him with her and knew he would be well cared for. Throughout the couple of days that we were away, we received regular updates and photos of what they'd been up to. Couldn't have asked for better!

My English bulldog was instantly at home with Vanessa and her family. They took amazing care of Jubby. Would recommend!

My dog absolutely loved it at Vanessa‘s home. From all of the photos and updates, I knew torque was in great hands. Their dog Chester and torque got along great. I heard Chester was waiting by the front door after torque left to see if his new friend would be coming back. Thank you very much Vanessa. I appreciate it
