“John has been very responsive throughout the time we were away from our fur baby. He sent photo updates and we couldn’t be more happy with our decision to leave our Reina with him. He is very friendly and we can tell he loves all animals as his own. We will definitely be rebooking whenever we are out of town. Thank you again John !”
“Jinay was literally the best sitter ever!! I’m always weary about leaving my pittie with separation anxiety with someone new but she just went above and beyond! She knew exactly how to deal with it and went above and beyond with her care. She even did a training day for her and another dog!! She sent me amazing adorable pics and vid’s all throughout her stay and I could see my dog was just having the best time! So glad I chose her :)”
“This was our first time leaving Finn with anyone outside of family or our usual sitter. Sandy was so responsive, provided a comfortable and safe environment for the dogs, and you could tell she really cares for the dogs! I would highly recommend her for anyone considering boarding with Rover.”
“Rebooked Veronique and her husband because my anxious dog feels so at ease with them. They accepted the booking last min and we were able to enjoy a much needed date weekend in the city without worrying about our dog . Will definitely book again.”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I have also worked at a veterinary practice for many years as an assistant. I am currently available weekdays and weekends, early morning to late night. I can help if you need one visit or recurring visits so I am easily able to accommodate your times and needs. I have plenty of space in my home for your pet to be safe and cared for. I also have a large fenced in yard if your pet needs to be taken care of at my home. I make their safety a priority when coming to your home to take care of or walking your pet
About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!
“I recently had the pleasure of boarding my furry friends at this wonderful dog boarding house, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew they were in great hands. Christine were incredibly friendly and nice! Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates and pictures, which was a great comfort to me. I could tell that my dog was having an absolute blast - playing with other dogs, and watching TV shows.When I picked up my dog, they were happy, healthy, and tired out from all the fun they had been having. Overall, I would highly recommend this dog boarding house to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and fun place to board their dog. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!”
“If I could give Catherine 20 stars, I would! Leaving our dog was not easy. It was the first time we left him with a sitter. I’m a worrier by nature and for me to say I was totally comfortable says a lot! Catherine made us feel so at ease. She always made herself available for check-ins and took it upon herself to provide updates and pictures. She accommodated some special needs our dog had and really provided him with the comforts of home. If you’re looking for someone to watch your pet while you’re away, I highly recommend Catherine. We will definitely be asking her for pet sitting again.”
“AleV was absolutely INCREDIBLE! This was our first time leaving Keegan and she made it as easy as possible. Regular pics, videos and update. She cared for him as if he was her own. We are so thankful to have found her. CANNOT recommend higher!”
“Kellie was an absolute delight and I’m so thankful to have found her for my trip! She was communicative, sent pictures and most important (to me) she was patient with my shy pup!! 10/10 recommend and will re book with her! 🫶🏼🤍🫶🏼”
“Laurie and her husband, Cliff, recently cared for our dog while we were away on vacation. It was the first time our girl would be in the care of someone other than family and we were nervous with how she would acclimate to the situation. Any worries we had were quickly erased and our minds set at ease with the daily updates we received. The accompanying daily photos let us know that our girl was in great hands. She came home a happy, well fed, clean girl and we definitely will be using Laurie and Cliff again in the future.”
“Jennifer was such a great sitter and certainly deserves the star sitter status! She was extremely accommodating with our doggy meet up to make sure our puppy would be a great fit (and also extremely patient with Maya’s high energy!). From drop off to pick-up, Jennifer was in contact with us the whole time providing us with the updates and pictures she knew we needed! It was so difficult to be away from our fur baby for as long as we were but we felt comfortable with where she was and would 100% book with Jennifer again in the future!”
“Denise is amazing & super sweet! she took such good care of our sweet Melo. She sent us pictures often & took him places. We were so happy to see how well he was taken care of after our bad experience with a boarding facility. Melo loves her & we can’t wait to use her in the future!”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Sent both my pups here while we went away for 5 days. They were very well taken care of and loved i got videos to see they were doing good! Will definitely be booking with Alejandro again”

“Jassah was the absolute best! ?Such a kind spirit and nurturing energy. Our kitten Little definitely grew attached to her during her stay, because she didn’t want to leave her. Jassah made sure to maintain contact with us every day while we were away, sending photo updates and showing enrichment activities. I have never felt more peace of mind with an animal sitter as much as I have with her. Our kitten can be a little rambunctious, but Jassah was patient and able to give her attention. I one hundred percent would recommend Jassah to anyone and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you! ?”

“My dog is so comfortable with Cynthia! Although there are big dogs at her house, she has gating throughout the house and yard to ensure that a little dog is always feeling safe!”
“My dog Grady had a great first visit for day care. Laurie’s place is immaculate! Plus, she has safety as a priority, which is my first criteria for dog care. I will plan to use her for future doggy care needs!”
“Cece loves going to Catherine’s house for daycare! Catherine always sends pictures of Cece having a great day playing with the others and I know I can trust her to watch her. I was nervous because she is a small, young puppy but now she has been attending daycare for a few months and I am comfortable leaving her there without worry.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Veronique and Jonathan! They were amazing with my puppy, Oakley, providing her with exceptional doggy day care. They kept her active, engaged, and ensured she was well taken care of throughout the day. It was such a relief to know Oakley was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!”

I felt, right from the start, she was invested in the care and well being of my dog.
