Personalized Loving Doggy Care

I have thirty-plus years experience as a pet owner. I have always cared for my dogs with the greatest compassion, having raised Great Danes, a Chihuahua, various Hounds and many more. I have raised most of my dogs from puppies and have taken great care and compassion in their final days. I am very gentle and compassionate with our furry friends, having great love for them. And every time I meet a new fur-angel, they immediately sense that I am a friend. I want to open my home to people who need an alternative to helping their beloved dog feel loved and stimulated throughout the day, as opposed to sitting at home alone. I love dogs, I love being around dogs all day. I have a passion for looking after these gentle, wonderful creatures, and it's my intention to devote a large portion of my life to helping them. My services are open 24/7. I am open to emergency calls/boardings. My policy here is personalized, devoted care to your pet. I take one family at a time (up to 3 dogs/family). I devote all my time to looking after your beloved furry friend(s) making sure they get the comforts of home while you are away.

Charlie took amazing care of our girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Woody was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. Charlie was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Our dog Brie stayed with Charles for 10 days while we were away. Brie had an amazing time with Charles and Fiona. She had so much fun and we felt at ease since Charles was a great communicator and clearly skilled with dogs. It was a great experience for us and we don't like leaving her behind. Thank you Charles and we would definitely recommend him 100%!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced, secure, back yard. I have a large crate available, if required for your pet, as well as an enclosed sitting room if your beloved pet needs space. As well, Fiona, our gentle and friendly Whippet Hound, will help keep your fur baby entertained all day long. Fiona loves company! We have doggy floor beds, and two couches to stretch out on (or cuddle up). I provide 2 walks per day (45mins./per). And of course, I take the utmost care when walking around the south end of Gananoque.

Pets

A typical day

I love to stimulate our fur friends with early morning and late afternoon/evening walks. There is plenty of toy-retrieval fun, and romps in the backyard. Lots of positive affirmations and soft training, such as, "minding manners", leash walks and training. There will be massages, hugs, and all-around good vibes. With your permission, we can visit the local dog park located 5 minutes away. Car rides are part of the boarding experience, as well as visits to various parks and places for dog walk adventures. Lots of interaction with Fiona, and lots of constructive play throughout the day.
