Availability

Are you looking for a loving home to board your pet while you travel? Board your pet with me! I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I have spent my life around and caring for animals, from walking our family's greyhound to round the clock care of and bottle feeding a stray kitten we found who was just a few weeks old. I am dedicated, kind and love animals. With a large, fully fenced back yard, there is plenty of room for your pet to play when weather permits. And best of all, I offer pick up and drop off service for clients living in the Edmonton area.

Safety, trust & environment

In my fully funished basement dedicated to pet friendly boarding in my home, I use pet-safe products to keep the space clean. If you'd like to take a tour of my pet sitting space, I'm happy to offer a walk through at your convenience. I live with my significant other, Janaya. Together, we are parents to 4 fur babies (3 cats and a dog). Our pets live upstairs. My pet-sitting space is separated by a door between the main floor and basement, allowing me to focus on your pet completely during boarding.

Let me know if your dog has any specific behaviors or needs beforehand so I best know how to accommodate your furry friends in our home.

A typical day

I love to play with pets of all kinds. With dogs, I have a love of playing fetch with puppets of all ages and sizes. Tug 'o war? I'm in! I like to play with other pets, too. Our kitties love to chase string toys and little balls, and occasionally, we break out the cat nip for them.

Thank you so much for the care you gave Picky Toes! And we really appreciate how flexible you were when we needed to extend his stay while our condo was being renovated. I know he was pretty shy - he's always hidden at home when strangers came in, but happy he ate the food you put out and finally spent some time sitting in the window hammock you put up for him.

Xavier took very good care of Lucy when I needed to leave for a month on very short notice. He kept me updated on her and sent me lots of pictures and videos while I was away
