“Logan is Hank's favorite friend when I can't be home to give him the love he deserves! I so appreciate the thorough photo updates and trustworthy, punctual treatment of my furry son!”

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

“Sasha did so well with our 10 month old puppy. She was prompt, communicative, and loving towards our little guy. We'll definitely use her in the future!”

“Alayne was an exceptional caretaker for my pup while our family dealt with a tough surgical recovery. She gave our dog excellent attention and great walks when we were being pulled in a few different directions. We are so lucky to have crossed paths with Alayne!”

About: Wonderland Dog Resort and Spa is a Doggy Vacation Destination! (Find our NEW page on Facebook) We LOVE dogs in this home! All breeds, all sizes, all ages and ESPECIALLY senior dogs! I have been training, walking, grooming, feeding, and otherwise raising four-legged babies for 32 years. I've cared for many types of dogs with different abilities and special care needs including Duke, a senior golden retriever with severe allergies, a hernia, arthritis, and bone cancer- an energetic 175lb. Yellow lab named Kato, who had search and rescue training best used to deroot small trees during fetch, and to locate his favorite tug-rope for endless hours of training reinforcement, known to him only as "playtime", -a frail teddybear rescue named Chug, with debilitating anxiety and canine behavioral disorder, requiring medication- and Xeno, a husky variety, who requires constant exercise and attention, to name a few. Good pet care comes from recognizing each animal as an individual with needs and then meeting those needs. There is no such thing as a bad dog. Only humans whom don't understand animal cues and how to effectively communicate with them. My goal is to build a relationship with each pet and their families to not only offer needed boarding and walking services, but to support their personal or medical needs and training journey as well. In my home we focus on learning through fun and positive reinforcement for good behavior. Dogs can expect treats for following commands, defecating or urinating outside, and for a reward after bathing or grooming, with owner consent. Dogs requiring medication are welcome, and again will be given a treat for taking meds, with owner consent. Treats are always provided free of charge and you are welcome to supply your own if your dog has dietary restrictions. What to expect: All visiting dogs who are ambulatory are walked a minimum every 2-3 hours and offered playtime in our shaded grass yard for 30-45 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day, unless it is unsafe to do so due to weather. When visiting you, I strive to closely follow your itinerary when provided, or provide well rounded care without instruction through walks, playtime with toys, obedience training, and affection. When not out enjoying activites, visiting dogs will be in an air-conditioned home with access to dog-beds and toys, and unless requested, are not discouraged from going on furniture. There will be other dogs present, since we have 2 very friendly registered service dogs of our own. If we come to you we do not bring our dogs unless requested to do so. Dogs will interact and train with our child to encourage behavioral and training growth in a distracting atmosphere. All dogs will have a safe environment and compassionate care while their humans are away. We will love your fur-babies like they are our own loved ones, every single time, no matter the challenges they face. Dogs dietary and medical needs are my top priority. All feeding and medication schedules will be followed with the strictest adherence. Visiting dogs not on dietary restrictions have unregulated access to food and water while boarding, unless requested otherwise. In home feedings will be as scheduled by client but water will always be checked/changed/filled. Positive reinforcement is our method. We have 2 registered service dogs of our own and will happily assist your training journey. Dogs will be rewarded with treats, unless otherwise requested, any time they go potty outside, follow commands, take meds, bathe, or otherwise complete a task appropriately. All dogs have access to toys, beds, and a crate during boarding. When at my home, leashes are required outdoors, except when we visit the dog park. When visiting your home my goal is to make that visit the highlight of your dogs life! I strive to play with all pets in my care. If your dogs do not take interest in toys, as has been my experience that not all do, that time is spent with cuddles, belly rubs, and command response training, in addition to the scheduled walk or potty break. I make sure the pet feels quality time was spent with them by someone who came just to see them and values their importance in the family. When at my home, dogs are allowed to move freely throughout the house. We have laminate floors that are easy on allergies and make accidents easy to clean up. We keep our home quite cool, with central air, which is great for northern breeds, and we offer plenty of warm soft places to curl up, otherwise. Your pets will be treated like a member of our family. We love animals and want them to have the happiest day of their lives whether they visit us or we come to them. Bathing services offered for non-aggressive pups. Wonderland Dog Resort is in operation 24 hours a day, over 350 days of the year, offering both holiday and extended stay care and is my full-time career, as the owner and operator. Mommy and daddy know best! We follow all itineraries provided and are extremely diligent about following medication regimens, dietary restrictions, and other special needs. We specialize in (but are not limited to) Special Needs dogs. The safety of our pups is our number one concern! We also work with them on command response training to help ensure future safety after they leave. Pet patents recieve photo and video updates an the end of every day. Dogs can expect lots of pets, treats, fetch, tug, gentle brushings, walks, car rides, snuggles, trips to the dog park, and lots of socialization! All dogs are kept on slip-resistant leashes at all times, when not at the dog park. We go out for potties every 1.5-2 hours, walk every 4 hours, and go to the dog park nightly. Dogs socialize under close supervision and are trained on proper socialization. Wonderland is set-up for comfort. Dogs are allowed on furniture and most are able to sleep in our bed with us or are welcome to chose from the large selection of crates, beds, pillows, and blankets. Dog toys are rotated every few days to keep playtime interesting. We keep pups engaged and active and provide companionship to timid and anxious dogs, who may be less playful or experiencing their first time away from home.

“Isabella walked my energetic Aussie on 3 different days while I was out of town. She was reliable and timely and very communicative. You’ll be happy with her service.”

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I manage multiple dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments daily. This hands-on role has trained me to expertly read pet body language, prioritize safety, and confidently care for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets. I also provide dedicated drop-in care for cats, ensuring your feline friends get the precise feeding, litter box maintenance, and attention they need. I am highly comfortable reinforcing training commands, managing leash pullers, and following strict care routines. With my professional background, you can rest assured your dogs and cats will be safe, happy, and well-loved! Even as a college student with a part-time job, I maintain a highly flexible schedule that allows me to easily adapt to your pet's regular routine! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and walks, and I love structuring my day around making sure your pup gets the attention they deserve. Just let me know what specific timeline works best for your family, and I am happy to coordinate my routine to ensure your pet is fully cared for. Safety is my top priority on every walk. I always stay aware of my surroundings and follow any special instructions from pet owners. I make sure dogs stay in safe areas, avoid hazards, and get the right amount of exercise based on their needs. Trust and comfort are key, so I take the time to make each dog feel at ease while ensuring they have a fun and safe experience.

My bunny at home gets frequent attention and care. I know how hard it is to leave my pet while I'm travelling and be worried about how he's doing. I'll send tons of photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and healthy!

“Communicates well and very good with my pup.”

“Melissa took such great care of my dog, gave detailed updates after each walk and plenty of pictures, and worked with me to manage his separation anxiety. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and loved while I was gone. Will definitely be using Melissa again!”

“Our dog had a hard time the first day, but Ilene was persistent and ended up getting the job done! Now he misses her. It was an easy, affordable service to use. She also accommodated us very last minute, which we were very grateful for.”

About: I've been walking, training, and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years. I currently work as a zookeeper full-time. Animals are my passion and I have very high standards of care for every animal I am responsible for. I have experience with (and am actively continuing my education on) Cooperative Care and basic obedience training using positive reinforcement. I have a senior dog of my own and have had special needs dogs in the past, so I am happy to work with dogs that need a little extra care. My main availability is Tuesday-Thursday, but I can occasionally accommodate other days. Feel free to reach out and we can see what we can work out! How I care for pets is fully tailored to my client's needs. I prefer to have a meet and greet with new clients and their pets to get to know you both and go over any important details of their care. I do not feed any treats or food that are not approved ahead of time. I'm educated on signs of fatigue in dogs and am careful to not overwork the dogs in my care (especially in this summer heat).

“Ben is awesome. Totally reliable and did great with our 3 dogs, especially the Belgian Malinois, who is not the easiest dog to walk. He does a great job, highly recommend.”

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I also want to note that I am a full time college student, my schedule is below for more information. Just keep scrolling and you will see “schedule” section. Thank you :) I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!
