Dog Daycare in Walpole Island

About: Hello! My name is Mike and I've been fostering dogs since 2019. I've had approximately 18 come and go, only foster "failing" (foster dogs who I ended up keeping) with two who stayed and had the best golden years. I lost my most recent boy in August, a blind Bichon, just shy of his 12th birthday and after 3 great years. He was type-1 diabetic and blind, and after so much time as a foster getting his insulin regulated, he decided I was his forever family. He had a sister when I got him, a senior Yorkie with diabetes insipidus and a host of health issues. All that is to say I'm a professional at insulin, rigid medication schedules and diet maintenance. Presently I have no dogs of my own. When it comes to your dog, I'll keep your daily routine and walk schedules too, so your pups stay is as minimally disruptive to their normal routine as possible. I've fostered dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas and a Rat Terrier to a Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard. I've had as many as 4 dogs at once so I'm open to having multiple pups at once. I'll never accept dogs from multiple families unless both families are booking together and the dogs are socialized with each other already. And I'll never cancel a confirmed stay for a more lucrative multi-dog request. I live alone in a detached house in Wallaceburg, and I work from home so your dog won't be left alone aside from short errands. I'm not big on crating dogs, leaving them free to be where they like while I'm gone. I have a den with glass door if you tell me they need smaller quarters, or you can bring your crate for me to use. I have a large fenced yard for playing fetch or dogs who need to run. This is a total dog house. I bought it due to its flat land and not having stairs, and I built a ramp down to the yard. I installed a dog door but it will stay blocked unless having access is suitable for your pups. Dogs are welcome on the couch and the bed, and will have free roam of the house (there's no basement, and garage isn't accessible). House sitting radius: the Rover app limits a 100km radius when setting the territory I can offer the services. I've got my radius set Eastward to circle Toronto, as I grew up there and love an opportunity to take gigs that get me into the city. Unfortunately I can't draw a circle that includes Windsor, but I'm happy to take gigs there too. If you're in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, or the GTA, and you have a dog that can be left alone for 2-3hrs max, I may be willing to offer discounts on price so I can catch up with family and friends in those areas while I'm there. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a tour or meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I work fulltime hours from home, typical office hours. I'm usually awake by 7am and bed by midnight. I don't have many friends in town so I'm home most of the time. My yard is fully fenced. I have a couple Tile tracking tags that I can attach to their collar if they're an escape artist (or you'd like to track your pups location remotely). Hazardous items like cleaning products are kept in cupboards or in my detached garage. My house is pretty dog proofed and I'm not concerned if your pup has an accident. That's what mops and upholstery cleaners are for. I think I've developed pretty good dog body language, and only correct misbehaviour by command and redirection. I'm a bit of a sucker that let's them get carried away when they're being silly, but particularly with bigger dogs I'll make sure their training is maintained (no jumping up to greet, making sure they don't assert dominance etc.)

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two quirky Pomskys (a cuddly goofball named Cyrus and an independent little fox named Luna), I know just how much pets are family. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a calm companion, or someone to make them feel safe while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities, from shy seniors to zoomie-fueled puppies, and I’m always happy to follow your care instructions down to the last detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday stroll or some extra love while you’re out, I can be there. Your pet’s routine will always come first. I offer walking and in-home pet sitting, so your dog stays comfortable in their own space. My own pup prefers a quieter environment, so I don’t host pets at my house. I’m always respectful of your routines, and I treat your home and animals with the same care I give my own.

About: ONLY SIT UP TO 25 lbs... Hello, I'm Cynthia, a true animal lover; I have owned many dogs & cats, they're my passion and bring me much joy. I will care for your babies like they're my own. I will provide a home away from home. I live in home in Chesterfield (23 Mile & Sugarbush/Seaden) with a beautiful fenced yard; only dogs up to 25 lbs. I often sit 1-4 dogs at a time; so your pet must be able to get along with other dogs. I will take your pets on daily walks and supervise them outside frequently to potty. I don’t use crates unless the owner requests; and the babies sleep with me! For dogs that might be a bit nervous or crabby away from home, I use lavender and chamomile oils to sooth their nerves. I am retired and have lived in the Macomb County area for 18 years. I have excellent personal and business references. My goal is to love and enjoy your animals and provide them with the best possible and safest environment. I love to take photos & will send lots of pics of your babies while you’re gone. Oh, and book early, I fill up quickly, and please note the cancellation policy. I look forward to hearing from you! Cynthia I'm retired and home quite a bit, outside of normal activities, such as shopping, occasional dining out, etc. The dogs are very happy in my home. I have a totally privacy fenced yard, the dogs love to run around, sniff all over the place, and my home has safety gates on front and side doors.

About: ever since i was born we had at least one dog in my family home. mostly large breed dogs. my husband and i unexpectedly had to say goodbye to our 6 year old german shepherd. he was our absolute WORLD and we would love to spoil and take care of some dogs in the community before we are ready to home our next 4 legged best friend. i'm currently working part-time (usually 6:30-11am, 4x per week) and have a very flexible schedule around those morning hours, so i have plenty of time during the day and in the evening to play with pups. my weekend availability depends on any social events. we have a decent sized fenced in yard and no other animals or children in the house. our dog used to have free range in the house, on the furniture, and in the yard, so we would let your pup use our house as if it were their own as well! we also live right off of a paved bike path that leads to the beach, perfect for walks :)

I am very thankful for people like Stacy that take seriously the responsibility of taking care of our fur babies. Highly recommend her 🙌🏻”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and can’t imagine life without them. Growing up, I cared for all kinds of pets, with a household of dogs, parrots, aquarium fish, and bunnies. Because of this, I learned the ins and outs of pet care from a young age. I had the privilege of caring for my dog for 15 years until he recently passed. Being with him from puppyhood through his senior years gave me experience with every stage of life, from energetic walks and playtime to the patience and gentleness older pets require. Because of this, I am looking to continue spreading puppy love until I am able to adopt one of my own! I recently moved back home after graduating college, and I am actively applying to jobs- so I am very flexible and available when it comes to scheduling! I have one other dog in the home. She is a very friendly German shorthair pointer dog, who loves to cuddle up or play at any moment! I have a couple acres of yard, and a pond (that I can keep your pet out of if desired!) I am able to board pets inside, or in a kennel outside- I’m here to meet your preferences!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I also currently foster animals through a local shelter, so my range of animal needs is quite vast. I’ve dealt with animals that have special medical needs as well as special behavioral needs. Every animal deserves to be cared for and loved. your furry friend will be a truly great and loving hands. I am a stay at home wife and pet lover. I spend my days lounging around the house and baking/ cooking my favorite treats. I love going for walks in my neighborhood as well. While I might not have a fenced in yard, I have a tie out screwed into the ground that is very secure as well as lots of space in house for your furry friend to play.

About: Beyond sitting, I think it's important to focus on creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for all animals! - engaging playtime, long walks, or simply offering cuddles and comfort. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and treat their furry family members as if they were my own. Thank you! I have a flexible schedule, that I can make work with yours. I am available Monday-Wednesday full-time, and part-time the rest of the week! 🐾 I take time to bond with each pet at their own pace because trust is essential with animals! I follow any specific instructions provided. Ex: feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines. I always keep a close eye on pets during playtime and walks to prevent any accidents, and I make sure their environment is always safe. I also provide regular updates to owners, including photos + messages throughout! 🐾
