Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog's second home
From the moment your dog arrives, they'll be treated like part of the family. With plenty of attention, affection and thoughtful care, their stay will feel less like pet sitting and more like a cozy home away from home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa and Karl were great and took wonderful care of Meatball. He had an upset tummy while boarding with them, but they took excellent care of him and provided regular updates on how he was doing. I would not hesitate to book with them again!
Had such a lovely experience boarding our pup with Vanessa and Karl. Easy to coordinate and communicate with. Gave our pup lots of love and attention. Felt at ease leaving him in their care. Thank you!

Schedule
Your dog will become part of our natural daily rhythm in a calm, family-centered home. With two young children under six, there is often a gentle, lively presence filled with warmth, movement and affection. Our days include walks, playtime, rest and plenty of attention, ensuring your pup feels engaged yet relaxed. The kids are eager contributors who take pride in helping care for our four-legged visitors, offering extra love, companionship, and a steady stream of cuddles.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will have access to a large, fully fenced grass yard - perfect for safe play, fresh air, and relaxed outdoor time. We are happy to accommodate walks and tailor activity levels to suit the unique needs, energy and routine of each guest. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, their comfort and well-being guide the day. For added peace of mind, we're always happy to provide photo updates or video calls if it helps you feel more connected and at ease while you're away.
A typical day
We hope to tailor your dog's stay to their needs. We equally enjoy going for a walk around the neighbourhood, to a trail hike, to a long run. We are also happy to have more low-key time together, cuddled watching movies on the couch together.
