I like big dogs and I cannot lie
Pet care experience
I have a passion for animals of all types, enjoy working with them (and people), and am very enthusiastic about the health and general care of animals. My family and I are owned by two Shar-pei dogs and love every moment of it. While my family lives in Tavistock, ON, I have moved to London for school and am lucky enough to have a landlord with a Great Dane. As part of our arrangement, I have offered to walk her dog in exchange for break in my rent (though I would have done it anyway - that is how much I love animals). I have experience with puppies as young as 8 weeks. This includes house training, impulse control, and obedience training. I've also worked with senior and disabled dogs. Reactive dogs are also no issue, whether they're reactive to other dogs, people, or certain noises, I've dealt with it before and can easily handle new challenges. I'm currently between jobs so I'll have plenty of time to walk or just hang out with your dogs. I am free most days though Thursday nights can be a bit tougher to fit in. I'm always happy to try and accommodate though I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run and lots of scents that will tire your dogs brain out. I also have a 10 month old great dane puppy that loves to play with other dogs
Reviews
Thanks for taking great care of my pets! The frequent updates and photos were greatly appreciated!
Fiona was great with king and giving us updates regularly. King enjoyed his time there so much he slept for the last day and a half after coming home he got tuckered out with her Great Danes , She also provided King with the 1 on 1 time he needed.
Fiona took great care of Rex, and we appreciated the updates, pictures, and feedback of how his walks went! We noticed that Rex has been walking better (and less reactive) on the leash since he began working with Fiona. We’re glad to have Fiona take care of Rex, and will be returning clients!
We could see Annie's smile down the block as they were coming home! :)

I like to get to know each dog so I know what works best for them. If needed I have a fenced in backyard full of all sorts of interesting smells that your dog will love.

Information Fiona O. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues I'll need to account for. I have experience working with reactive dogs so it's really no issue.
A typical day
I think it's important to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically. A well paced walk through a park is generally perfect for that. Training is also a great way to tire dogs of any age out. Whether it's recall, impulse control, or just new tricks. I don't mind sitting down for a bit and really trying to work their brains
