✅Therapy Dog Owner/Lover✅

Pet care experience

🚨Save $20! Promo code DAVEC75632🚨 My little Molly is a therapy dog for St. John Ambulance. But I know that all dogs are actually therapy dogs; most of them just freelance! If your dog is in need of some love and attention—or even just a quiet walk—I would be honoured to care for them. I’ve always been the one to take care of my friends’ and coworkers’ pets. It just makes sense to use my love of animals to help out people in my community who are stuck at work or away for the day. Your pets might be sad that you’re not available, but I guarantee that they’ll be happy and calm when you are reunited. I am trained in pet first aid by St. John Ambulance. Feel free to message me and ask any questions or requests you might have.

Dave is amazing. My dogs love him and he goes above and beyond when he takes care of them! He's been looking after my two dogs for five years now and I will always be a repeat customer.

Information Dave C. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know whatever it is that your pet needs (medications, favourite activities, quirky preferences). I can make it happen! Don’t be afraid to ask! Have a great day!

A typical day

My wife and I can care for your dog however you’d like. We have a second floor apartment that feels like more of a treehouse with its huge bay windows overlooking a quiet old neighbourhood next to newly landscaped public parks. If they have a routine, I can stick to the usual. If they love to just explore, we can take the scenic route! Our little Havanese, Molly and Maggie, would love to meet them and might even be willing to share their toys!
