Pup parents can rest easy knowing that they are one click away from a peek at any time during the booking to see how the walk is going! You can see an example of the live feed and report card in the galleries section.

Attentive and focused, Jan and I provide 2-in-1 care for your furbabies all across Toronto! If you want a seamless and low maintenance experience we can provide that but a meet-and-greet is always recommended! It not only allows the furbaby to become more familiar with us, it's also the best way to see if we're a great fit for your needs and if we think it'll be a perfect fit for us to provide the most reliably comfy care as can be.

Is your pup shy or anxious? No worries, they will be in great hands and feel comfy along the way! (: Being a duo and full time your furbaby will always have a hooman companion at their side so they feel safe, secure, and loved.

We also make treats! With a background in food sciences, experience in quality control facilities, and the passion for our furry best buddies, we wanted to provide a healthy reward for training or just for being the bestest! All natural, all tasty, and all the pups have loved it!

Here are our pup specific experiences:

1. Taking care of pups since we were 12

2. 4 dog household (2 have now passed)

3. Parented medium and small dogs, cared for large breeds

4. Senior care (medication same time every morning, cleanup after incontinence, putting on belly bands/diapers, etc)

5. Blind and/or deaf dogs

6. Dog enrichment activities

7. Pomeranian with alopecia and hypoglycemia

*For longer sits: if you wanted a very detailed daily schedule for monitoring we could provide that via sharing on Google sheets/docs.

*For intact and medicated pups: Jan and I are welcoming and accommodating to all lovely furbabies. We understand and are considerate of everyone's preferences or medical choices. That said we may add a small surcharge to help with the extra care that is sometimes required with intact or medicated pups. Additional care may include but is not limited to:

• Extra cleaning from marking in the home

• Extra diapers for females in heat

• Tight timing or precise controlled medication regimens

• Accommodating specific behavioural patterns

Jan and I are a couple dedicated to being a full time care provider for you and your furbabies! We spend all day making sure your furbabies are cozy and comfy, while hopefully becoming one of their favourite humans too!

We live near 3 different dog parks along with a parkette 1 minute from our home and Riverdale Park is just a 5 min skip away; we have plenty of choices for your best buddy to socialise! Whether that be sunrise or sunset, at our home or at yours, Jan and I are willing to go up to 10-15km away from homebase to make sure our service matches your needs!

Dedicated, available all day, and ready to check in on your furry loved ones to make sure they are safe and well cared for! We love the adorable furballs (: Accepting mid week or even multi week services if you require it. Jan and I are here to make sure your furbabies are well taken care of. If you need us to go far and/or long we can discuss how our care can service your needs.

**First and foremost there will never be 24, or even 12, hours of radio silence. Either one of us will periodically send cute or fun pictures and videos throughout the day— this is non-negotiable! Even if we are told it's not a big deal we just personally feel it's a necessity. We understand how it must feel to leave a beloved family member in the care of someone other than yourselves. This is why we believe communication and updates must be pillars in any pet sitter's philosophy so the pet parents can feel at ease about their furbabies!

Smoke-free home with no kids and fenced backyard in a quiet comfy townhouse complex!

Here is what Jan and I can do if requested:

1. Feed your furry best buddy according to your directions

2. Change and wash up aallll the bowls

3. Walks and check-ins any time

4. Enrichment activities and playtime (tug of war, fetch, etc)

5. Clean up any accidents

6. Bathe your pups

7. Send you updates on any schedule you desire, and however you want it; photos, videos, audio and video calls!

8. Train commands (this will depend on the pet and we will work together to see how we can reach your goals!)

9. An absolute, seemingly endless, mountain of affection and attention to any and all pets!

Jan and I love trying out various enrichment activities with each and every furball; seeing which one is the best match for any one of them. All furbabies are different with how they interact with toys and activities even if they're the same breed- they all have their own personalities! We will take them for walks to get that much needed fresh air, sun, and social (doggy media) time. We will always ensure that fresh water is available from start to finish. Not to mention shower them all with endless affection and attention! Whether it be full body rubs or cuddles, your pets will always know they're loved- as they should!

If they are highly energetic we can play fetch, have tug-o-war matches, safe physical play, and anything else to help with that energy reserve!

Please let us know in advance if any of these needs are required so Jan and I can provide extra care towards them:

1. Medication

2. Special diets and allergies

3. Special care (no lifting/not allowed to jump/kennel rest after surgery/etc.)

4. Eating and/or walking schedule (if they have one)

5. Their vet details in case of emergencies

6. Their personality and quirks! So we can match their energy

7. Special cues for potty breaks

8. Physical needs, whether it be to reduce excess energy or anything medical like arthritis

9. Mental wellness needs, like separation anxiety so we can ensure your furbabies have the most relaxed and comfy time!

Anything else that you think would be relevant, or if you just want to talk about the furballs in general!

Jan and I have always wished we had more chances to be cat parents; help us live out our dreams vicariously through your furbaby as we shower them with love and attention—until they, inevitably, nonchalantly go hide in one of our boxes!

If you're looking for a sitter or to board your bunbuns look no further! I have personally bonded a trio (check the photos!) of bunbuns, gentle patience is not only in my bag but absolutely necessary! In this arena we have a combined 10+ years of experience:

• Know how to spot G.I. stasis and monitor gut health

• Experienced with administering Critical Care and oral medication

• Understand their very specific diet (NO CARROTS, low sugar, 24/7 hay with greens, and preferably little to no pellets unless young or elderly)

Reach out with your setup and care routine, and we will be happy to accommodate for your furbabies' needs.
