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
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!!
Thank you for taking such great care of Snow. Love receiving updates with beautiful photos, We really appreciate you!
Wow! There were moments of concern...that Reggie would not want to come home! Adriana and family were incredible and Reggie had his own amazing vacation.
I can’t thank the whole family enough for taking care of Messi when I was away for a week. This was the first time we were leaving him for such a long time and looks like he didn’t miss us at all. He was so much loved and we were so happy with timely updates and plenty of photos and videos. Would definitely recommend Vilma and Nicolle to everyone.

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.
