About: I work 100% from home running my coaching business, which means your pup will always have plenty of attention and care. I started dog sitting on Rover in 2023 while living in Oakville, where I proudly cared for over 50 happy clients—all leaving 5-star reviews. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I do provide tons of photos and videos - please let me know if you wish to receive less frequent updates. Now, I live on a beautiful 12-acre property in South River, ON, which offers plenty of space for dogs to safely explore and enjoy nature. **** All outside time is supervised by me, including my own pup. **** If you do not want your dog to be off-leash on my property, I will leash walk your pup. I have flexibilities and am available most the days and weeks as long as they are scheduled in my calendar. Usually I am able to accommodate change of plan within 4-hour window. I love the dogs for who they are. I want to give them the best of what I have and what they deserve. 🐶My dog🐶 PIKE: Yellow Labrador Retriever (June 2022), INTACT, well-trained, energetic. What You Can Expect: 🐾 Constant supervision and love while you're away 🌲 Safe outdoor adventures on my spacious property 🐕 Plenty of playtime with my dog (if compatible) 🏡 Clean, cozy indoor spaces for rest and relaxation ********TO ALL******** - I don’t take dogs to any dog park - I don’t let dogs go off leash in public - Please pick up before 7pm; otherwise a $25 late pick-up fee will be applied - one 42" crate, one 48" crate, two play pens, and one large cot available - Do not accept boarding request over one month (this refers to new client ONLY) - Will be multiple dogs at home, but only ONE new dog at a time - Dogs are allowed on furniture & bed, only if owners allow their dogs the same at home; otherwise I will follow owner's practice. - If your dog has specific command or routine that you'd like me to follow, such as release word, please let me know ************************ 🔴Boarding service: - Meet & Greet ("M&G") is a MUST. Please note my dog is intact, male. - I am happy to learn your pup's routine/habit/command as if he/she is at home, as long as instructions are provided. - Happy to provide Pike's treats (usually one-ingredient freeze dried treats) - Please inform any allergies and/or things/behaviour that your pup dislikes 🔴Daycare service: - "M&G" is a MUST - Pick-up time must be before 7pm, otherwise additional $25 late pick-up fee will be charged - Please inform allergies and/or things/behaviour your pup dislikes 🔴Dogwalk service: - no dog interaction on the walk - Prefer M&G at owner's house before starting the walk - Additional charge may apply depending on my travel distance 🔴Drop-in service: - Includes but not limited to: walk, play, feed - Prefer M&G at owner's house before visit - Additional charge may apply depending on my travel distance I’d love to connect with your dog first before I bring Pike for him to steal my thunder 😆 Depending your preference, for M&G, we can walk our dogs together for quick 5 mins. I’d like to spend some time with your dog first - please bring some treats so I can “bribe” lol then I will have Pike meet your dog to see if it would be a good fit. On the first day, I will spend 10 to 15mins with your dog first before I introduce him/her to the fur friend 😆 With 12-acre land, we do not have fenced area. However I do supervise my dog whenever he's out there, and he has perfect recalls. I have a 40-feet long leash available if your pup does not respond to "come" command perfectly, so he/she will be leashed outside with lots of space to explore.
