Highlights
Pet care experience
Pitter Patter. Let’s get at ‘er!
I have walked, housesat, and boarded dogs and cats for over a decade. I grew up with a menagerie of pets of all kinds (big dogs, small dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, guinea fowl, rabbits, turtles, fish) and am an amateur dog masseuse and trainer (competent but not professional). I ran an animal recovery clinic out of my former home and have nursed both senior and juvenile dogs and cats throughout my life. I volunteered with an NGO providing veterinary clinics that worked with distressed stray animals in Central America from Mar 2009 - Aug 2014. My work involved administering medication and performing general health checkups on animals, completing prenatal checkups, administering vaccinations, and performing surgeries. I worked as a recovery nurse for World Vets from Apr 2012-Aug 2014. Trained and practiced as a recovery nurse in pre-op, post-op, and discharge with feral, abused, neglected stray/street dogs and cats.

Ratings and reviews
Dina is a wonderful caregiver for your pup. Would absolutely reccomend and use again.
We had a great experience with Dina caring for our two puppies! She was attentive, kind, and made sure they were always comfortable and happy. Dina is very reliable and clearly knows how to handle and care for animals—our puppies loved her. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Dina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter—we’d definitely book with her again!
Dina is wonderful either way our puppy!! She is on time, plays and helps him get settled and calm before leaving.
Dina is wonderful! Our puppy loves her!! Will 100% have her look after him again!
This is a heartfelt message for Dina. It was the first time for Nayla to stay away from us, but Dina was caring, gentle and kind towards Nayla. She sent regular updates and went out of her way to make Nayla feel at home. It was a first time experience for me, and I think it was outstanding. Dina was also flexible with timings and possible delays. I would highly recommend Dina.
Dina was awesome with our puppy, it was her first time in daycare and she was all smiles. Dina made sure to provide updates regularly so we never got anxious about our puppy. Highly recommended 👌

Schedule
I'm currently on maternity leave so my schedule is flexible and dynamic. I drive my own vehicle so I am able to provide care from anywhere within Winnipeg city limits.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I don't currently have pets of my own, but relish any opportunity to get my furry fix with pets of my friends and family. I have walked a wide variety of breeds and grew up with Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Huskies, St. Bernard's, Rottweilers, Boxers, Labradors, Retrievers, and Alsatians (I am very comfortable with energetic and large dogs). As I am looking for a walking/running companion, I will match pace with the energy level and tend to whatever needs your pet may have. I live close to great dog-walking areas and within 2 mins drive of St Norbert Animal hospital.
A typical day
If there are preferred parks for walking your pets, I am willing to drive them there to make them more comfortable I love exercising dogs and cats, mentally and physically within their capacity.
