‘Paws’itively Perfect Loving Care!

Pet care experience

For two and a half decades, my husband and I have been adopted by fur babies! As experienced dog owners, fosters and sitters we would love to help care for your canine & feline family whenever needed. Our self-employment activities enable us to be at home more than the average person so we can care for your pet(s) with a high level of attentiveness. Our own dogs have all been retired racing greyhounds and we love dogs of all breeds. We are active volunteers with GPNL (Greyhound Pets - NL) and frequently participate in many events including home visits in which we match retired racing greyhounds with their prospective forever loving families. We would love to welcome your dog(s) into our hearts and home so we can provide high quality care, walks in the park, happy playtime and even cuddles! We are also available for drop-in visits to your home to provide loving care for your canine or feline pet(s). We love all our many repeat dog & cat clients and are welcoming new clients!

Finnegan's pictures tell of his happiness to be at Denise,Gary and Xena's home. Right-at-home he is. They kindly gave him a cute t-shirt that says "Be Pawsitive" and he looks great in it. He loves the special treats he comes home with and sleeps most of the next day being tired from the exercise he gets on his lengthy walks that they go on.I am totally at ease when he is there. Thanks lots, Eileen

A snowy cold but sunny day in St.John's ,NL and Finnegan spent a lovely day with Auntie Denise ,Uncle Gary and his favourite girl ,Xena. You can see in the videos and pictures that they both are happy to walk along together. He always is contently tired when he comes home. Best Pawrents you could ask for. Cheers,Finn's mum.
