I am a lifelong animal lover and pet parent. I have lived with/cared for dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, chickens, and snakes! I am Animal First Aid & CPR certified through St. John's Ambulance and I have experience caring for senior pets, wildlife rescues, and administering medications (including injections).
I am a full-time pet caregiver so I'm always available 9am-5pm weekdays, and can take overnight stays any day of the week/weekend. I'm extremely flexible, so any requests are welcomed!
BOARDING/DOGGY DAYCARE: I have a car for transport and a nice dog park nearby for exercise. There's a huge field next to my building for bathroom breaks and we take two walks daily in the morning and evening. I have gates, potty training materials, mobility equipment, and a medium crate if necessary. For small animals I have barricades for free roam time in the bedroom, and I have a two-storey Critter Nation cage for downtime/sleep. I also have lots of comfy cushions and blankets to lounge on. All animals are welcome on my couch for cuddles! :) CAPACITY: I can accomodate up to 2 sets of small caged animals* but I only take dogs from one owner at a time whether it's for daycare or boarding.
HOME VISITS: This is for animals who are more comfortable in their own homes. I will spend 30 minutes at your home to play with your pet, assess for injury or illness, clean litter trays, and feed/water them. If you require multiple days I will also include a perimeter check of your home and mail pickup upon request. WEEKEND VISITS: Because I care for animals full-time, I can only accommodate one home visit per weekend day (Sat/Sun) unless medications are required twice daily.
DOG WALKS: I walk dogs on an individual basis, 11am-3pm weekdays. I can work with your dog on leash reactivity and basic walking etiquette. You will receive a progress report after each walk (how they did, health concerns, poop schedule, etc).
*Contained animals are charged PER ENCLOSURE not per animal (i.e. one cage for 3 rats is not extra)!
Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or behaviours, in advance. I have a variety of tools and equipment I can prepare.
