House Sitting in New Glasgow

“I am dog behaviour expert and I recently entrusted my beloved dog, Sunshine, to Mike's care, and I couldn't be more impressed. I have a deep understanding of canine psychology, I'm incredibly sensitive to any subtle signs of stress or discomfort in my dog. When I returned, Sunshine was exactly as I had left her – perfectly serene and utterly content. Mike not only ensured all her physical needs were meticulously met, but more profoundly, he provided a truly calming and stable environment. That level of emotional well-being is incredibly difficult to achieve, and it's a testament to his exceptional empathy and skill. For anyone seeking a dog sitter who truly understands and nurtures an animal's emotional state, Mike is, without a doubt, outstanding. He allowed Sunshine to remain her beautiful, tranquil self throughout his stay.”

“We have two large, strong, anxious dogs, one of which has trust issues, is reactive, and has a strong prey drive. Both are on daily oral medications, and one must be administered eye drops twice daily. To say our dogs are special needs is an understatement! This is why we haven't been away in the two years since our veterinary hospital closed their fear-free boarding facility. When an opportunity arose to visit family in Saskatchewan, I reached out to our local canine behaviour expert for help. She advised that some of her clients had reported success with Rover.com. That's where I found the amazing Ziya! I truly can't recommend her highly enough. Ziya is a calm, confident, and experienced dog handler. Prior to our trip, Ziya came to meet our dogs, not once, but twice, to make sure that they were comfortable with her, and she with them. As I watched her interact with our dogs, I was immediately put at ease. She was observant and attentive to their behaviour and reactions to her. Our dogs responded so very well to her confidence and experience. Ziya sent us updates and photos while we were away. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our time away, knowing that the boys were under Ziya's wonderful care in their own home. We returned from our trip to happy, well-exercised dogs and a very clean and tidy house. Thank you for giving us back our freedom, Ziya! 🩷”

“Elyas did a superb job in looking after my dog and the house! He was diligent about giving Spencer his meds, he played with him and just gave him lots of attention. My house was spotless when I returned. Elyas went above and beyond with looking after everything and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!”

About: Safety is my love language: safety that comes from structure, structure that is backed by deep philosophy and experience. Whether we're talking about emotional safety (a dog feeling secure and confident to interact with the outside world), or safety for other humans and other dogs, safety for me as a pet professional, and safety for the owners in the habits I'm encouraging the dog to inhabit, my service is based on safety above all because without safety none of us can thrive. I'm busy building a farm care business that expands across Canada. All my waking hours and some sleeping hours too are spent obsessing about pet care, as dogs form the center of this pet care philosophy. Continuing onwards in a concentric circle, cats are followed by other farm animals. When it comes to dogs, i work with treats to encourage a strong place command. Once the place command is clear, i know that any time the pup is off his cushion, it is time for a walk.
