Pet care experience
Your precious pet will never be left unattended. For decades, I have had the privilege of surrounding myself with both canines and felines. I enjoyed my work at the Animal Shelter. I offered a caring foster home for animals that were too young to be placed in adoption. I also interviewed those special people looking to adopt a pet to their forever home. I enjoyed walking every dog, for at least an hour, to give them their much needed exercise and, a break from their kennel. It also gave me an opportunity to keep physically fit! Since the passing of Misty Girl, a beloved feline of 17 years, our humble abode can comfortably accommodate one canine or a couple of felines. It also offers a clean, quiet, relaxing and secure environment. Cozy for senior pets and for pets with special needs. I will accommodate two canines, of a small breed, should the pair belong to one family. Although, canines of a giant breed deserve a more spacious environment, I will gladly accommodate an overnight stay! My time with your pet is totally devoted to their care and individual attention. They are treated as one of the family and will be given all the privileges. I will provide regular check-in and updates throughout your pet's stay. These will include brief comments about your pet's feeding habits, play activity, any behavioural issues, etc. The nightly rate indicated is for a 24-hour period. For example: 10AM to 10AM the next day. The following charges will apply for an extension: IF the pick-up time is scheduled 2-8 hours later than the drop-off time on the first day, the pet owner will be charged an additional 50% of the nightly rate. IF the pick-up time is scheduled +8 hours later than the drop-off time on the first day, the pet owner will be charged an additional 100% of the nightly rate, the full price for an extra day. Custom quotes are certainly available for your feline friends! Dogs and cats will never be scheduled for the same day, unless a pair belong to one family. A "Meet-n-Greet" for a new guest is highly recommended. This short visit allows for us, and your pet, to get acquainted and to provide an opportunity to discuss any specific needs prior to your first reservation. I want to make your pet's stay as comfortable and worry free as possible.

Dale was great. Let us know Sadie was settled in and doing great with pictures :) will absolutely use Dale again
We left our golden doodle, Dani, with Dale for the third time when we had a 4 day weekend away. Dale is so loving and attentive to Dani. We trust her completely.
Dale is a lovely person and wonderful with my dog. I 100% recommend her . Jane
Fisher had another great stay with Dale. He came home happy and was very excited and at ease during pick up and drop off. Dale is great with him - we’ll be booking again the next time we are away!

DOG WALKING Your Dog's Walk is a one-on-one exercise program designed to keep your dog on-leash. At least one full hour of fitness is geared toward the energy level, and stamina, of your dog. I am very familiar with Riverwood Park, my preferred location when Boarding your pet. Your dog will not be taken to a dog park nor will your dog be taken off-leash. Should your canine enjoy Tug-O-War activity, pack their favourite toy!
