“Absolutely comforting family to leave your pet with. As much as we missed Koda while we were away we knew he was in good hands. Samantha was great at keeping us posted on how things were going, with little messages and photos. Will definitely be contacting Samantha and her family for our next trip. Thanks again!”
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s what I’ve built real experience in. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs for over three years in professional settings, including daycare, boarding, and off-leash adventures, and my most recent role was at a training facility where I learned how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also own a dog of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is always to provide structured, attentive, and genuinely loving care so every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I am also attending school to become a professional canine trainer. Pet care is my entire life. I have dedicated all 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year towards taking care of others and my own animals. Need last minute boarding due to a family emergency? I’m your girl. Everything else closed when you have work? I’m your girl. Taking a weekend trip but no where is open? I’m. Your. Girl. I am not only here for the convenience of you but also your beloved furry friends My yard is currently not fenced,(fence coming soon!) but I do offer leash training for more enjoyable walking experiences. I do daily walks for all dogs no matter the training level they are at. I have 1 very friendly lab mix who would keep your dog friendly dogs company, and I also offer special care for those special pups who are more people dogs than dog dogs for no additional charge. If your dog is crate trained they will be crated for bedtime (9pm-6am) with overnight potty breaks if your pup requires them as well. I keep all dogs and cats separated. Dogs have the downstairs of the home, and cats have the upstairs. I am comfortable with administering basically any medication except needles, the only needle exception being for diabetic animals.
“Superbe expérience J’étais anxieuse à l’idée de laisser yurajh avec un inconnu car elle est peureuse et réactive. Roy m’a envoyé de nombreuses vidéos et photos me prouvant ainsi que j’avais tort de m’inquiéter et que yurajh trouvait sa place dans le foyer de Roy. Merci pour cette belle première expérience”
About: Comme on peut le voir sur ma photo de couverture, ma passion pour les animaux ne date pas d'hier : j'ai toujours partagé ma vie avec eux ! Aujourd'hui maman d'un jeune husky de 11 mois, je sais exactement comment gérer et canaliser l'énergie débordante des chiens actifs et des chiots. Fiable et attentionnée, je propose des visites à domicile (repas, litière, jeux, câlins) et des promenades pour que vos compagnons restent sans stress chez eux. Très prévoyante, je dispose aussi de mon propre véhicule pour faire face rapidement à toute urgence vétérinaire. En tant qu'entrepreneure à la tête de ma propre compagnie avec mon copain, nous gérons notre entreprise à deux. Cette organisation nous offre une immense liberté et beaucoup de temps libre pour nous consacrer pleinement aux animaux. De nature très travaillante, dynamique et toujours prête à en faire plus, je propose une disponibilité totale tant en semaine qu'en fin de semaine. Notre horaire est extrêmement flexible, ce qui me permet de m’adapter à 100 % selon vos propres disponibilités et les besoins uniques de vos compagnons. La sécurité et le bien-être de vos compagnons sont ma priorité absolue. Lors de mes visites à votre domicile, je veille à ce que votre animal évolue dans un environnement sécuritaire et propre. Je possède une grande cour arrière entièrement clôturée pour permettre des moments de liberté en toute confiance si nécessaire. De plus, je dispose de mon propre véhicule personnel, ce qui me permet de réagir immédiatement et de me rendre à la clinique vétérinaire d'urgence la plus proche au moindre besoin ou imprévu.
“Natalia s’est encore une fois très bien occupée d’Astro! Elle a aussi accepté de garder notre petit chiot, Spica. Les deux chiens se sont bien amusés lors de leurs séjour chez elle. Natalia est une excellente gardienne. Elle est patiente, accommodante et communique très bien avec nous. Elle nous a envoyé de nombreuses photos de nos chiens et leur a donné toute l’attention qu’ils ont besoin.”
“Fabulous care! We were passing through on our way to the East Coast and wanted to meet friends in Sherbrooke for dinner. Emmanuelle was so kind and accommodating. Denahi loved her! She knew exactly how to help him feel comfortable very quickly. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
About: Nous avons été famille d'accueil pour Mira pendant 5 ans donc patience et constance avec les canins, on connaît ça ! Nous avons également fait du gardiennage dans 4 domiciles distincts dans les 4 dernières années pour les vacances estivales des propriétaires :) (avec chiens et chats). Chez nous, l'accès à un sentier à 100m permet les marches et randonnée fréquentes avec votre chiens. On a également une cour arrière cloturée au besoin. J'aime faire également les soins de base pour les chiens pour être certaine que tout va bien :) We were a foster family for Mira for 5 years, so patience and consistency with dogs are definitely something we’re familiar with! We have also provided pet-sitting services in 4 different homes over the past 4 years during the owners’ summer vacations (with both dogs and cats). At our place, there is access to a trail just 100 meters away, which allows for frequent walks and hikes with your dog. We also have a fenced backyard if needed. I also enjoy doing basic dog care to make sure everything is okay and that the dog is healthy. J'ai une horaire atypique et j'ai la possibilité d'organiser mon temps à ma guise. Lorsque je suis au bureau, mon conjoint est 100% en télétravail ce qui nous permet de toujours avoir un oeil sur le chien :) I have an atypical schedule and the flexibility to organize my time as I wish. When I am at the office, my partner works 100% remotely, which allows us to always keep an eye on the dog. Nous sommes plutôt de type grandes marches ou course (avec plaisir!) et nous avons une cour arrière clôturée donc jeux de balles. À l'intérieur, nous misons sur un comportement calme du chien en l'occupant intellectuellement, avec un os ou un jouet et beaucoup de séance de gratouilles. Lorsque l'on garde à un autre domicile, nous essayons le plus possible de garder l'horaire type du chien présent et sa routine. (ex: marche tous les midis à l'extérieur) We’re more the type to go on long walks or runs (happily!), and we have a fenced backyard for ball play and outdoor games. Indoors, we focus on encouraging calm behavior by keeping the dog mentally stimulated with a bone or a toy, along with plenty of cuddle and scratch sessions. When we care for a dog in another home, we do our best to maintain the dog’s usual schedule and routine (for example, a daily outdoor walk at lunchtime).

Perfect for high energy dogs - Norton
“Notre Théo a eu une journée très chargée remplie d'activités et de beaux moments - il fait dodo depuis son retour à la maison, il est crevé !!! Des hôtes très accueillants qui ont su bien gérer notre berger australien de 8 mois, surtout pour une première journée de garde. Nous avons passé une très belle journée sans avoir à ce soucier comment va Théo, nous le savions entre bonnes mains. Un gros merci Maurice et Penny et on garde vos coordonnées pas trop loin !”

“Thanks Faye and Guy! Super accommodating, made sure Yuki felt settled and comfortable. Professional and made sure that Yuki had a great time while we were out skiing. Next time I’m up, will definitely be reaching back out! Thanks again :)”
“Super expérience avec notre dog sitter ! Elle a une énergie incroyable et Rex est revenu calme et heureux après toutes ses promenades. On voit qu'il a adoré passer du temps avec elle. Je recommande vivement !”
About: Je suis propriétaire de Nanook, qui est un chien rescapé de la baie james. Nanook est mon 4em chien. J’ai toujours eu des chiens de taille moyenne dans ma vie. J’adore leur présence, et j’offre mes service pour que Nanook est des amis à jouer avec lui. Pour le moment, je suis en transition d’emploi puisque je viens d’aménager au BC. Alors j’ai amplement de temps durant ma journée pour garder et jouer avec eu. J’aime pouvoir donner au chien la liberté de jouer ensemble. Avec la cours fermer, cela me permet de m’assurer qui resterons sur la propriété. Il y a aussi une superbe marche au bord de la rivière devant chez moi. Alors, selon les consigne du propriétaire je les apporterais jouer là-bas.
“Natalia is the most wonderful dog sitter I have ever used! She is kind, patient and loving and so good with dogs. I brought Galileo to her lovely home for the day while I was working in town. She was extremely easy to work with. She responded to all my texts quite quickly. Her adorable dog kept Galileo busy all day. She sent me photographs throughout the day and kept me informed of his visit. I will be using her every time I am in town!”
“Nancy est incroyable, calme et rassurante. C’était la première fois que je faisais garder mon chien et je ne le regrette pas. Il était content d’arriver le matin, je le sentais vraiment en confiance. En plus, le soir, malgré son énergie de jeune chien, il était fatigué de ses jeux et de ses marches. Sans aucun doute je lui confierais encore mon chien. Merci énormément!”
