Hi there! My name is Darya and my husband's name is Simon. We've been hosting dogs back in 2017 till we got our own dog Reuben, who tragically passed away in July 2022. He had refectory epilepsy and needed us to be focused on him. One can say our life revolved around him, but I don't see it as a problem. In fact, I believe it's a great blessing and now we're ready to share that blessing with your pets. Rest assured, we treat pets like children. We want to make sure, while you're on vacation, your kid will get their vacation, too! We recently moved to Toronto from Montréal, so we’ll enjoy exploring the town with your dog on longer walks of desired. Since we have a lot of experience with giving medication and supplements, we are absolutely okay with special needs pets - no condition will scare us after our Reuben's daily seizures. But of course, we'll need to know in advance if your pet requires any special treatment. I can also cook, if you prefer your pet to eat slow-cooked meals. Giving raw food is not a problem as well. We both work from home. But if your pet requires some time alone, we can provide that. I work for an international animal rescue and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can give your pet as much attention as they simply need. Sometimes we foster dogs in need, but since Canada banned 113 countries to bring animals from this October, we don't get to foster a lot. If you feel like we are a good match, text me and we'll do meet and greet. Can't wait to meet you :)
