Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

*** $20 off your first booking! *** Use code EMILYJ15468 Over 20 years of experience loving and caring for dogs and cats, I’m thrilled to offer my energy and care to looking after your fur babies while you’re away. From puppies to seniors, 2 lbs to 130 lbs, I’ve cared for them all and am up for the challenge if your dog or cat doesn’t travel or board well. I have international experience working with a humane society in daily care, adoptions and veterinary procedures; and previously worked at a local veterinary practice. I am available for boarding, daily visits, home sitting and walks - at your convenience. If you have a long work day or are traveling, I’m happy to keep your dog or cat comfortable, entertained and well cared for. If you’re in the Kitchener area, feel free to contact me with what you need. Please note my service hours for walks and drop in visits are Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-2pm. Daycare hours are 8am-6pm.

Emily came promptly everyday and visited and walked my dog for a week. She provided great updates and pictures. My first time using Rover and leaving my dog while away I was so relieved she was in good hands and was able to handle my requests for keeping her busy! Thanks Emily.

Information Emily J. would like to know about your pet

I just need to know about daily routine for feeding, walks and sleep, and we get to know each other from there. I do not normally crate dogs when they board unless requested by the owner. I prefer to let them find where they are comfortable.

A typical day

Walks to the nearest park, playing with the ball, backyard play time. We have lots of comfy couches and dog beds for naps. No matter what your dog’s temperament, we can make their stay happy and comfortable.
