PLEASE READ: Active daycare covers 6 hours active care (your dog will most likely be romping with other dogs for his/her stay. Extra time might be an add-on fee If I come to your home to look after your pet / pets, I will be supervising them pretty much all of the day and night and usually take them to wherever I am going. Outings to get groceries etc .. would be when they would be left alone, or if they are good in the car / crate they would join (depending on weather and heat). I will discuss their individual needs with you. If you like your dog not be around other pets for sits please inquire about my VIP option (from $200 a day+travel)

Information Etienne H. would like to know about your pet

'Longer stay, multiple weekly walks' discounts available All breeds are amazing, be it the tiniest Pomeranian, the largest Great Dane or the most muscly, yet happy Pitbull. No breed or size preferences, I work with them all. I believe that all dogs are the product of how they have been raised. We will have a great time ! PLEASE READ: Daycare covers up to 6 hours care, extra time might be an add-on fee I am available for Canada-wide/ world-wide for dog/house sits and VIP (Very Important Pooch) Travel arrangements would need to be discussed prior to booking. Please ask me for reduced daily rate for extended stays and multiple pets.

A typical day

I love to have engaging walks or low impact bike rides on our beaches and on trails or just provide a sniff-walk in town For our older dog clients we offer walks to the park, through town, to a close by area and to just keep them good company. Whatever is best for your dog, I will make it happen. Every walk will be tailored to your dogs needs, be it a young puppy, an old gentle dog or an high energy dog.

I love spending time with pets, young or old, tiny or large, slow or energetic for daily walks, extended care durations and give their owners peace of mind, whilst they are out to work or play. I keep a calm, non-excited manner with all dogs so that they have a relaxed, yet fun and exciting time with me. It is my goal to return a happy, tired dog back to their owner.

Etienne was prompt to the agreed upon time. He did negotiate the time slightly as he wanted to give the most efficient and best use of time to all the dog he was walking today. He listened to the quirks about my dog and respected them. I trusted him on the first walk and Merida came back happy and smiling. She wants to walk with him again.

Etienne was a great cat sitter. He was gentle and respected the cats’ space, and kept everything clean and tidy. He also sent me pictures and updates. Thanks so much!
