With a history of operating a successful boutique doggy daycare in Montreal city for two years, I have now embarked on a journey around the globe, limiting my availability to house sitting assignments only.

To facilitate a smoother booking process and ensure your pet gets the best care possible, I kindly request you to answer the following questions in your booking request:

1. How does your dog usually respond to the presence of other dogs at home, when on a leash, or at the dog park?

2. Is your puppy prone to severe separation anxiety?

3. Does your pet have a harness, tags, and updated vaccinations? How does he/she behave on the leash?

Please feel free to share as much detail as you can about your furry friend. There's no such thing as too much information when it comes to pet care!

In another life, I'm sure I was a dog! 🐾

Dedicating my life to animals, I've been surrounded by dogs in my home growing up and have clocked in over 1000+ volunteer hours at animal shelters across the USA. With hands-on experience with a range of dogs –from those recovering from abuse, to the timid or energetic, and even the aggressive ones, I've worked with them all.

When in the company of dogs, I innately grow attuned to their needs, your canine companion would affirm this! I offer my heartfelt affection, coupled with strict behavioral discipline. More indulgence in cuddles, less tolerance for inappropriate behavior. I believe in the power of discipline and repetition to establish healthy boundaries and boost dog happiness. For a glimpse of my lifelong commitment to our furry friends, head over to my social media ‘dog page’ featuring dog-related content and my dogspotting ventures. In essence, I am truly dog-nuts! 🐕

The hardest part of this gig is having to say goodbye.

Returning to the USA, I am available for house sitting, with a flexible schedule given sufficient notice.

Understanding that every dog sports unique personality traits, I've found that they quickly adjust to seeing me as their caregiver and become inseparable. This bond often forms even before it's feeding time!

Feeding can be a tricky issue given any new changes they're experiencing. While I strive to maintain the existing feeding schedule, there may be times when your dog might not eat on the first day. In those instances, I gently reintroduce their meals every few hours according to their comfort. Whether your dog prefers to eat in my presence or in solitude, rest assured, I will handle it sensitively. 🦴
