Lianne and her family did a great job taking care of my dog, Drekker. I knew he was well taken care of and having a fun time while I was out of town. I definitely plan to rebook with her in the future!

About: I work from home, so your dog is never alone for long. My fenced yard means safe outdoor play every day, and regular photo updates mean you'll actually be able to relax on your trip. I have a special needs dog of my own, so I have a particular soft spot for dogs that need a little extra care, but I'm equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and medication administration. I know exactly how much trust you're placing in me, and I don't take that lightly. Your dog gets a real home, real attention, and a lot of love. I work from home full time, which means your dog has company throughout the day rather than waiting for someone to come home. Walks, yard time, and cuddles fit naturally into my routine, I'm not squeezing pet care around a commute or office hours. Gladly have your pet a part of my day. My home is fully fenced, so outdoor time is always safe and supervised. Inside, dogs are welcome wherever they're most comfortable.. on the sofa, in the bedroom, wherever helps them settle in. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including crating if that's part of their dog's routine. I'll always ask about your dog's habits, triggers, and preferences before your stay so there are no surprises for either of us.

Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!

About: I have been around and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I have a deep care for dogs and believe giving them the absolute best life while they are with us is the only way to engage with them. I have a knack for training, it somewhat comes natural to me and I have the patience for it. Im happy to work with your dog to either reinforce or teach commands/tricks. Recently, I left my corporate job. I am taking time off to assess my next career move. Which means I have wide open flexibility and need to take walks to keep thinking. What a better way to do that than to have a walking companion! I do not have pets which means all of my attention goes to yours! There are two couches, a bed and a patio for your babe to enjoy. I am available around the clock to play, walk, teach.

My active and playful cattle dog had a wonderful time with Lynn and Marty. They made her feel at home immediately - opening up a treasure trove of doggie toys and giving her a warm and cosy spot to chill out when she needed it. On a very rainy weekend they made sure she still got to run around in their big and safe yard with ball throwing and fetch. At night they followed her usual routine at bedtime with great success -a good nights sleep had by all. I am very happy I have found Lynn and Marty as a home away from home for Darling.

About: I'm a 26 year old working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have experience taking care of and training younger dogs and have a young dog myself. I love all kinds of dogs and will take care of your pets like I would my own. I'm working part time so I have varying schedules week to week with lots of time to take care of your pet! I'm always available all day Friday and Saturday morning. I frequently take long walks so your dog will have consistent exercise and frequent potty breaks. I have a private fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that loves playing with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog at night depending on what you prefer. I will follow your dog's routine feeding and care so they are happy and feel at home!

Ema and her husband were great. We were kept up to date with pictures & play by plays without having to ask how she was doing, asked questions on her food routine when there were supplements missing from the list of instructions, and was flexible on our time to pick our Quinley up when we were running a bit late, which was also much appreciated. Would and will do business with again.

They were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. I’m so grateful to have them right here in my neighborhood! I’m very particular about my dog’s care—especially coming from a country with advanced dog care standards. This was my second booking, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for in a clean home with a fenced yard, playing with their sweet puppy, Daisy. The photos Vivian sent meant so much to me—it was comforting to see my dog not only safe but also happy and social. What reassures me even more is that they previously owned a small dog before Daisy and truly understand the needs of small breeds at every life stage. I’m grateful to have found such thoughtful, trustworthy people. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again—and I look forward to seeing Daisy next time too!

Honey took fantastic care of our pups. She took time to win the trust of our anxious mastiff/GSD mix and continued to teach our 6mo puppy his manners. From our first conversation, it was evident that she had an excellent understanding of dog behavior and we appreciated that she asked us to write up a document outlining the cues our dogs understood and what we were trying to teach them, so that she could continue their training. The pups had an excellent time and were obviously at ease. We've already rebooked :-)

We were so lucky to have met Kylie and glad that our two miniature poodles were able to stay with her. Both dogs were treated so well and looked so happy in the pictures Kylie sent us while we were gone. Kylie made everything very easy and she gave us a lot of confidence that our dogs were in the right place. Thank you, Kylie, for being so great to us and them, we would love to do this again!

I’ve had my pup stay with Nicole and Ethan many times in the past few years, & my mind is at ease when I am away because they take loving care of her. They are generously warm, patient, and supportive communicators. I’ve appreciated their flexibility at times when I’ve been late to drop her off/pick her up. We’re moving out of area soon and will miss them but if we’re ever back and need care in town, they’ll be the first I’ll reach out to! Thank you both and your sweet family for genuinely adding to Venus’s life in a meaningful way. We appreciate you!
