I am a lover of all dogs! You can count on me for all your pet sitting needs. I am available for daily scheduled visits/walks, at your home, as well as overnight dog sitting in my home. I'm also available for in your home care for cats, birds, fish, etc. (no snakes or spiders, sorry). You can feel confident and have peace of mind while you're away that your loved ones will be well cared for. I have been dog-sitting for friends and family for 10+ years, and have enjoyed every minute of it! While visiting my home, your dog will be in a safe loving environment, and will enjoy a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run and play, will be free to roam the house as they would do at home. Will have a companion, our dog Mia (Yellow Lab) who is very well behaved and gets along with all dogs. She's always excited to meet new friends! She is getting older, and her patience isn't as good as it could be when it comes to younger puppies, and/or dogs who like to jump and play rough. Behavior is monitored during a stay, and we can usually determine during the meet and greet, how things are going to go. There are lots of toys to choose from (inside and outside), which Mia doesn't mind sharing. I live in a quiet neighborhood in the village of Ontario, making it easy for walks around the block. There is also a near by park for nature walks. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet! See my calendar for availability and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. ** All pickups (daycare and overnight guests) must be by 5pm. Overnight guests will be charged a $20 late pickup fee for pickups after 5pm. Special arrangements can be made for daycare guests, if discussed beforehand.** Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since childhood. I've always had a very good bond with all the dogs I've had in my life. I find it easy to be able to give love to just about every dog! Meet my pets In addition to our dog Mia, we have one cat, Maxwell. He doesn't prefer to have dogs as guests in our home, so he spends most of his time upstairs. The upstairs is his domain and he protects it. Therefore, we don't let our guests upstairs in our home. About my yard Our backyard is separated into two parts, the first part is directly below the deck and is fenced (completely enclosed), and the rest is open with fences on both sides separating my yard from my neighbors. I live in a quiet neighborhood in the village of Ontario, and have about 1/3 of an acre of doggie playground. It is flat ground with a few flower gardens and trees. My experience administering medication I'm comfortable administering medication. I will ask questions at the time of the meet and greet.
