House Sitting in New Glasgow

“We were very impressed by Mike and highly recommend him. Our challenging dog needs a bit of extra patience and medications, and Mike put us at ease so we didn't have to worry while we were away. He seems to be able to handle any situation and our dog warmed up to him immediately, Mike was very responsive and easy to communicate with before and during his stay. We returned home to a relaxed and happy dog and a clean and tidy house.”

About: I have had animals of all kinds growing up, I also have my First aid and Cpr for equine and working towards getting one for dogs and cats! I am currently studying and trying to pursue becoming a ferrier,so my schedule is flexible and I would work around the schedule of the pets I will be watching I've worked with reactive dogs,I've muzzle trained some extreme cases.i don't like to let dogs off leash unless it's a inclosed dedicated space. I make sure doors are always closed so no chance for escaping, I care about what they eat and choking hazards.

“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! 🩷”

About: All my life I've been around and taken care of various pets from both my personal family and friends. I currently have a cat, a dog, and a rabbit who I love and take care of by feeding, playing, and socializing. I strive to ensure all of my pets as well as those who I take care of will be safe, happy, and healthy whilst in my care. I am avaliable most evenings and weekends for walking, drop in, or house sitting. Message me with potential booking requests and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I have various pets, including one cat, one dog, and a rabbit. I have an open yard for your pets to play in however, my own dog is sometimes reactive with other dogs; As a result I would keep them separate or stay away from boarding dogs.

About: Growing up on a farm, I have my fair share of experience working alongside various animals and pets. I have looked after neighbours dogs before (mainly walking, but also a few overnight stays), and have some experience volunteering at an animal shelter. I am a student at St FX, so I am commuting between New Glasgow and Antigonish areas daily during the week. My schedule is pretty flexible and we can chat about best times together! New Glasgow area I will also have some weekend availability if required :) My current place does not allow pets, so I can only do drop in visits or overnights. We can chat about your pets needs, and I am happy to accommodate!
