Ivana did an amazing job! She treated our puppies like they were family, and they looked forward to going to her place every day. We will definitely have our pups stay with Ivana again.

Rex loves going to daycare at Samantha’s. He really cries on the days he doesn’t get to go. Samantha sends updates through the day including pictures and videos. I never have to worry when Rex is at Samantha’s. I know he is happy playing with his friends and being spoiled by Samantha.

Megan had a great time at Jessica’s. It was Megan’s first daycare experience and she didn’t even hesitate going in. Megan came home exhausted, which made for a nice relaxing evening. We will definitely be booking with Jessica again.

I loved all the pictures of Rex throughout the day. They really made me feel that Rex was being well cared for. I loved seeing that he was able to relax in his surroundings and hang out with friends.

About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

Max had a great time with Alok, and felt super comfortable! He was able to make a new dog friend and get some outside play. Would definitely take him back.

Jill & her family are awesome!! They treated Benji as if he was their own! We are nervous dog parents sending our pooch to just anyone, Jill eased our minds with a lovely meet & greet, updates throughout the day and filled us in on how Benji was at pick up time :) Would definitely recommend Jill!

Tamara is just fantastic. She was great and attentive to my dog and her dogs are so sweet and got along perfectly with him! She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs! Such a wonderful family and home! She did such a great job at such a great price! I can’t recommend her enough! I will try and book her first when looking for anything regarding care for my dog! Thanks Tamara!

About: I love dedicating time to pets giving them care, love and fun time. I want to give them the comfort of a warm, attentive and loving presence. I am a stay-at-home student and among other personal activities, I am able to dedicate myself full-time to this service both weekdays and weekends, day and night. I live with my husband and my 14-year-old stepson and we are all pet lovers! Although we may all enjoy the companionship of your pet(s), you can have peace of mind that pet(s) will be cared for 100% by me! I live in an apartment building with lots of comfortable space, safe, with windows screens. There is a dog park in the premises, there are many trails around that we can walk and have fun. Our view is to a beautiful green area where many birds come around to hang out and sing.

Tanya is outstanding! Our meet and greet was thorough and she asked me questions that I wouldn’t have thought of that helped her care for my dog just as we do. She took lots of photos and videos through the day and went above and beyond with Zoey - they played inside with toys, outside in the pool and ran around and she even took Zo on errands! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

About: I have taken care of many many dogs throughout my high school years in my hometown. Now that I have moved to a new city I need some more animals to hangout with! I would love to walk, feed, and hangout! I currently am a registered nurse working 3 12 hour shifts a week, but don’t worry I will still have plenty of time for your dogs!! I will not ever take a booking that does not work! My place is available and I am willing to travel to clients home and pet parks in the surrounding areas. I have no animas at my apartment right now!
