Our pets are our children. I'm back

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I left Brampton a few years ago and worked at a doggydaycare and rescue I decided that I prefer rover and am excited to see the fur babies I missed and to meet all the new ones I graduated from Animal Care at Sheridan college and have a diploma in pet nutrition from working at a pet store. I gain a lot of energy walking dogs because I can feel their happiness and needs being met. I believe walking helps their minds and physical health. Dogs need their breaks from being inside. They get restless and can act out if they aren't getting enough attention or stimulation. With dogs and cats - Human contact is very important to our animals so I make sure they get play time and cuddle time to allow their body to get tired and content. When house sitting dogs- I do believe the greatest treat you can give is a walk but each dog has very different needs that depend on health, age and breed. When house sitting cats- That all depends on the personality of the cat. Some just want to get fed and left alone when others need some human time or play time. I ask all the questions I can with the owner to determine what approach their cat needs. If they enjoy human time, I’ll ask what toys they like and how to play them to what ways they like being pet. These are all very important parts of animals enrichment I am currently volunteering part time so I have a flexible schedule for your animals needs. I have a lot of free time and can take on any types of clients. I can come and watch your pets and gather all the information and habits your pet has to make them feel as comfortable as possible while they miss their parents.

Al is great! She responded to us quickly when we inquired about services and came through last minute when our walker cancelled on us. Kept us updated on all the walks. Definitely will use her again. .

Al has taken care of our dog on numerous occasions. We have been provided lots of updates and photos which has been reassuring for us that he is in good hands. Al has a lot of knowledge and educational experience with animals which is appreciated. Our dog always comes home happy and tired from playing and walks.

Al cared for my cats when I had to travel for work. You can tell he genuinely loves all animals; my cats were immediately comfortable with him. He put me completely at ease about having to leave my babies for the weekend, I knew they were in good hands. I would recommend Al to anyone for animal care, he's trustworthy and treated my cats with love and affection while I couldn't. 10/10 human!

Al had been awesome. My dog has a lot of anxiety and Al is great with him. He takes him on walks around areas he knows that Murphy will feel at ease. Al always shows up on time and is just so great with Murphy. Couldn’t have asked for a better human to take care of my pup!

My dog is very friendly with all dogs but ultimately prefers to be sitting on a humans lap. My yard is fenced and house very pet friendly. I take my time on feeding my dog a specific diet for his sensitive tummy. But his favorite parts of the day are walks. We have a very quiet street and just around the corner a school with an open field and an off leash dog park. I pay a lot of attention to my dogs when I walk them so I can always anticipate if there's any reactivity or stress I use my waste leash so both hands are free just incase! I'd love to say I know dogs 100 percent but you can never be 100 percent with an animal's behavior. Being prepared is very important I'm experienced with all kinds of medications or supplements and diets so your pup will be very well looked after I spend my whole time with them which is really easy because I enjoy dogs company so much

Information Al S. would like to know about your pet

I'll need to know their diet, health status, breed and age. That way I can make a unique schedule just for them and be sure they are getting the perfect treatment

A typical day

If your dog just likes to stay on routine, we will walk around the neighborhood and let them have their familiar smells and marking spots. If they love adventure, to the woods we will go and together, we will discover new journies each walk.
