Fun Family Dog Hosting
Hi! I’m Adriana, and I offer dog hosting from my home. I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from playful puppies to calm seniors, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I truly enjoy making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. My husband and I both work from home, so there is always someone around, and your dog will never be left alone. We live with our three children (14, 10, and 8), who love spending time with dogs and are always happy to have them around. Our space is calm, welcoming, and full of love, and we make sure each dog gets the attention, routine, and comfort they need, whether that’s playtime, quiet cuddles, or regular walks. We genuinely enjoy hosting dogs and are happy to provide a safe, caring home away from home.

Ratings and reviews
Juniper had a fantastic time! I got lots of photo and videos and Juniper went on a lot of walks. My dog is on meds and the family did a great job at making sure all meds were administered properly and at the correct time. Overall amazing experience and would definitely book with them again!
Vilma and her family take amazing care of our little Sully! Thank you!!
Vilma and her family are the perfect sitters! They make sure your furry friend is included in their day, they send through lots of pictures and messages to ensure you know what’s going on, and are very quick to respond! Toby had the best time and will be excited to book with them again.
Louis had a wonderful time with this family. He got lots of cuddles and walks and I’m sure he felt safe and cared for. I appreciated receiving updates and photos throughout the week. We will definitely be repeat visitors.
Dash had such a wonderful stay at Adriana’s house. He received such a warm welcome and loved all of the care and attention he received. As an added bonus, the regular photo updates were exceptional! He is definitely looking forward to his next stay.
Vilma and Nicola were absolutely fantastic. They kept me updated daily on how Sully was doing and sent over lovely photos of him relaxing around the home and spending time with the young ones. Sully came back calm and happy, which says it all. I'll definitely be booking them again. Thank you Vilma, Nicola and family!!

Schedule
We work mostly from home, so there’s always someone at home, either myself or my husband, to keep your dog company and cared for. On weekdays, dogs get a walk in the morning, another around lunchtime, and a final one in the evening when the kids are back from school and ready to spend time with our furry guest. On weekends, we have even more time to enjoy with the dogs. We often go for longer walks in places like High Park and enjoy relaxed family time in the backyard. The kids love including the dogs in everything, from games to cuddles to quiet time. It’s not just pet sitting, it’s shared time, attention, and care from a family who genuinely loves having dogs around.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We keep things clean, calm, and safe. Dogs can rest comfortably indoors and enjoy a peaceful environment with a family that truly loves having them around. We always follow your instructions for feeding, walking, and special care, and we’ll treat your dog with the same respect and attention as we’d want for our own.
A typical day
Each day starts with a nice morning walk to get some energy out and set a calm tone for the day. Dogs staying with us are part of our daily rhythm, we take another walk around midday and a final one in the evening to help them wind down. Throughout the day, there’s always someone at home (either myself or my husband), so your dog is never alone and always cared for. We have a backyard where dogs can relax, sniff around, or play under supervision. During the week, once the kids are home from school, there’s usually more excitement in the house, more company, attention, and a few extra games for the dogs to enjoy if they feel like it. On weekends, our routine is a bit more flexible and fun. We often go on longer walks, sometimes to High Park or other green areas nearby. If the kids have outdoor activities, we might bring our furry guest along, depending on the dog’s comfort and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys calm cuddles or lots of playful time, we adapt to their personality and needs to make sure they feel happy and at home.

- Every dog is different, and I always take the time to understand what makes yours feel most comfortable and happy. Before any stay, I’ll ask about your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walk preferences, energy level, sleeping habits, and any special needs or quirks. Whether your pup prefers quiet naps or loves a game of fetch, I’ll do my best to follow their routine and keep things familiar and comforting. The more I know, the better I can make their stay feel like home!
