A dogs body language says so much. It is an owners responsibility to know these signs and be an advocate for your dog if they are displaying signs of anxiety or stress.

Happy Tuesday Everyone 🐾

Myth Busting with the Alberta SPCA! 🕵️🐾

MYTH: A dog’s body language means the same as a human’s

FACT: Dogs communicate in their own language. A yawn, lip lick, or head turn doesn’t always mean what it would mean for a person. These kinds of behaviours can actually signal stress, uncertainty, or attempts to calm a situation.

Understanding your dog’s body language and signals can help you read them more accurately and respond in ways that make them feel safe.

Growing up with Labrador Retrievers, they've always been such a big part of my life and heart - loyal, goofy, loving, cuddly, and their velvet soft ears.

Penny and Copper are the cutest siblings who love one another and squabble just like any human siblings. Penny is a soft cuddly girl who LOVES her food. Copper is a goofy playful guy who LOVES his ball. Both so different and yet both have such 'traditional' lab qualities.

Does anyone have a special breed close to their heart?

We offer pet sitting services for more than just cats and dogs - I'm also happy to care for farm animals too, including chickens!

I recently had the privilege to care for a large flock of chickens and ducks and had SO much fun. I even grew a special friendship with one little silkie in particular.

Hmmm maybe I need to get some chickens 🐔

I hope you have been soaking up every bit of this beautiful warm weather!

Klaus and I enjoyed our afternoon with a long off leash walk. Days like this are the perfect reminder to slow down, get outside, and appreciate the simple moments.

One of my favorite parts of pet-sitting is getting to know each pet’s little routines 💕
Meet Orca 🐾—after her daily greeting of meerkat head pets, she always zooms straight into her tunnel and waits for playtime like it’s the highlight of her day. It’s our little ritual, and it never fails to make me smile. Her more reserved brother Chuck even joined in on the fun yesterday.

Moments like these are why I love what I do—earning trust, building bonds, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away.

While their family enjoyed a well-deserved vacation, Frankie and Zoe got to stay right where they're happiest - in the comfort of their own home!

No boarding stress, no unfamiliar environments - just cozy naps, playtime, and plenty of love. One of these cuties also requires a little extra TLC with daily medication, which was carefully administered and monitored each day.

That's the beauty of in-home pet sitting - peace of mind for you, and calm, happy pets who can stick to their normal routine.

Whether it's medications, special care, or just extra cuddles, we make sure every pet feels safe and loved while their family is away. ❤️
