Safety, trust & environment

I always ask for a routine and will adapt my care routine for every animal I look after. Taking care of a dog is not one size fits all & I make sure my clients know I will adapt to whatever they may need. However, I do think daily exercise is crucial for dogs & making sure they are stimulated throughout the day. Walks are always fun but also just playing fetch & other games around the house is great if the weather is not ideal for animals.

Information Don P. would like to know about your pet

Their sleeping routine, when they like to wake up & go to sleep. Whether the animal is crate trained or not - if so is it just the nighttime or also when left for any duration during the day. Feeding schedule - when & how much food the animal would get during the day. Just their overall daily routine so I can plan for the best care possible.

A typical day

I love going for walks - different times & terrain based on the animal I am taking care of. I also love experimenting with different mind games. Odell Park is my favourite place to explore - they have all different train lengths & terrain to match the animals energy.

Rescue Dog Dad

Pet care experience

I have had my own dog for majority of my life, both big & small. Most recently I have my dog Levi who is a rescue. He came from a not so great house so there has been a lot of work put into making sure he overcomes his trauma & is able to live his best life. I have gone through obedience training with dogs as well so my experience around dogs has been wide.

We love using him to watch our two cats and dog. They really enjoy when he comes to visit! He is great with our pets and I’m going to continue working with him in the future as we travel and our fur babies need someone to come in and visit with them 🐶🐾🐈🐈‍⬛

Don did an amazing job taking care of our dog and two cats while we were away. We always got daily updates and photos and it was so refreshing to know someone was watching over our home while away. Thanks as always Don!
