At Dogwood Lodge Pet Retreat, we’re Jonathan and Kelsy Lyons — certified pet care professionals with a lifelong passion for dogs and a commitment to setting a higher standard in boarding, daycare, training, and grooming. Located in Yarmouth, NS, our lodge was built from the ground up with your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness in mind. We don’t just run a business — we live and breathe animal care, and every dog that walks through our doors is treated like one of our own.

“Felicity is an absolute DREAM. We cannot speak highly enough about her talent;
radiant personality; and dedication towards making our day unforgettable in so many
ways. We are blown away by the footage she captured and the impact she had on
making the day flawless. She went above and beyond the description of her role; including helping with floral
arrangements and steaming one of our dresses minutes away from the ceremony. We
would highly recommend Felicity to anyone looking to make their special day one to
remember! We feel truly blessed to not only have experienced the most magical day ever; but that
we get to relive all of these moments over and over again thanks to Felicity!” - S&A

“Simply put, Felicity and her team are AMAZING. She will go above and beyond to
execute your vision and make your perfect wedding day a reality. Hiring Felicity allowed
my husband and I to focus on the important things and really enjoy our wedding day
without worrying about the fine details. She is incredibly personable, warm, energetic,
organized, and professional. Her experience in the wedding industry allows her to
anticipate glitches and couples'/vendors' needs so she can address them proactively.
From helping with getting ready photos, to setting up and coordinating the ceremony, to
prompting speakers during the reception, to communicating with our DJ at the dance
party, Felicity was there throughout our wedding to make it truly seamless. Hire her!!!” - M&J

“Felicity not only made our day go the smoothest, on top of being an actual rock star,
but the CONTENT CREATION! I literally just woke up from the best day of my life and
am bawling my eyes out looking back on these clips. Stunning. 10/10. Literal tears are
streaming down my face. I am so beyond thankful to have hired Felicity and that she
had been by our side every step of the way. I will watch every single one of these videos
100 times a day. It was the actual best day of our lives and now we get to look back on
it whenever we want. There are not enough thanks and appreciation I can say to her for
all that she did. I’m so glad I hired her.”   - C&D

After starting my cleaning journey in August 2021, I’m so excited to officially reintroduce my business as Top Notch Cleaning Co. — with a brand-new look, new social pages, and a fresh business plan!

I’ll be growing a small team of passionate cleaners so I can step back from day-to-day cleaning and focus on training and supporting the amazing women I’ll be hiring. This has been a dream of mine since day one, and I’m beyond proud of how far we’ve come.

This rebrand means more availability for clients, flexible job opportunities (especially for moms!), and a renewed focus on top-quality service across the Tri-County area — including Yarmouth, Pubnico, Shelburne, Clare, Digby, Wedgeport & more.

Homes, cottages, campers, Airbnbs, fishing boats — we’ve got you covered.
Text 902-307-0399 or message me to book.

Looking ahead, I hope to one day offer free cleanings to families struggling with mental health. Everyone deserves a space that feels good.

Thank you for supporting this journey — and stay tuned for all that’s to come!

CJL General Construction is a Yarmouth based general contractor specializing in residential construction. We are a dedicated construction firm specializing in delivering high-quality projects tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.


Founded in 2024 and serving Yarmouth, Digby and Shelburne, we have
quickly built a reputation for producing quality craftsmanship whether it be a small interior renovation, a roofing project or a full house build.
Our team's dedication to making a dream become a reality is second to none.


We are Recognized as a Building Products of Canada Certified Roofing
contractor with many successful roofing projects within our portfolio.
It is our belief that the quality of your roof is one of the most important aspects to be considered when doing a roofing project. As the main source of protection from water intrusion into your building, choosing a long lasting product and proper installation techniques are the most important, which is why we offer both metal and asphalt roofing options both with lifetime manufacturers warranties and the best labour warranty in the tri-counties.


We have a growing portfolio of jobs large and small, these jobs vary from siding, interior renovations, tile work, decks, roofs and new construction. Our growing team brings a wealth of knowledge and has the experience to provide unique solutions to problem areas.



"CJL General Construction installed a metal roof on my home, they were extremely knowledgeable of the products they were installing. I've had 2 asphalt roofs since my house was built and my chimney has had a water intrusion problem since day one, turns out it was flashing that was improperly installed. Chad and his crew fixed the problem without hesitation and I wouldn't recommend anyone but these guys!"


“We had Chad and his crew in for a bathroom renovation, our vision became a reality from a couple of pictures. Chad offered a few options on how things were executed and guided us through the whole process, they showed up every day without hesitation and got straight to work producing our dream bathroom in a timely manner. They even cleaned up after themselves. We are beyond thrilled with the outcome, and guests are always amazed.”

“We hired these guys to handle an addition on our house, Chad managed all the sub trades which really took the stress off of us, from the excavation, concrete and electrical, everyone was there when they were needed. The CJL crew was amazing, we couldn’t believe how quick they worked. The addition turned out amazing, I can't express my gratitude for these guys, we’re thrilled”

“We found CJL General Construction and Tile while walking the neighbourhood, they were working on a roof and we knew ours was soon due, we would walk by daily and look at progress, the job-site was left clean every day and we could tell the roof was being done very well. We gave them a call and had them do our roof, during the tear off our house was protected ( this meant alot to us ), they explained the products they were using and how the application of those products was being done in line with building codes and manufacturers specifications. Every night when they left the ground was completely clean and we didn’t have to worry about debris going into the neighbour's yards or blowing up the street. These guys are extremely professional, kind and are willing to go the extra mile. I won't call anyone else."

Pet Portraits: Memorials, Paintings, Sketches, Caricature, Line Art.


For the love that never leaves …. For the one who knew your heart without the words.


Everything I create is hand-painted by me—stroke by stroke—using a computer as my canvas. I offer a range of styles depending on what speaks to you most: full paintings, playful caricatures, expressive line art, soft graphite-style sketches, and heartfelt memorials. Each piece is personally signed, and prints are available upon request (for a little extra).

If you’re thinking about a custom commission, here’s how it works: I ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit to begin, with the balance due once it’s finished. Then I’ll send you your completed files, watermark-free and ready to be treasured.

I’m a disabled artist who spent over 30 years making jewelry—until my health shifted my path. So at 60, I picked up a new kind of brush and began again, channeling everything I’ve learned into art that celebrates the animals we love.

After a lifetime of having fur babies of my own, I deeply understand the bond we share with them—and the ache their absence can leave behind. That’s why I pour my heart into every piece I create.

Whether it’s a joyful portrait of your companion today, or a memorial to one who lives on in your heart, my goal is to create something timeless—a window back to the love, laughter, and quiet moments you shared.
