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.
Reviews
An amazing pet sitter we went on a weekend outing and usually take our dog with us but having don come over and watch our dog . Don was very professional and sent regular updates of the daily activity he was doing with the dog . I have complex mental health issues and having Don come over allowed me to get away and enjoy my time knowing my dog was well taken care of ... I highly recommend Don
Don is great with animals! He is caring & attentive & always makes sure to provide the best care for all animals. He also loves the outside & going for walks! I trust him with all my animals!

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.

Availability
I'm currently only working part time & am able to pick my own schedule. This means I can adjust to whatever needs you may have for your fur child! I also have a partner at home taking care of our dog if I needed to be away for extended periods of time - no worries about that!
