Purfect boarding with huge backyard

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved animals since I was very little. The very first memory I have is seeing my grandma milk cows with their little babies aside, and return them to the mountain. That had a huge impact on me. She also had many dogs, ducks, chickens and many other animals she treated with respect and taught me how to take care of them. I started getting directly involved with dogs and cats at 13, back in my country, Venezuela, where I was part of an non-profit organization called R.A.C. I was with them to help stray dogs and cats get neuter, calm their anxiety, and publish their info for adoption. I finally started taking care of my own fur babies since I was 16, and my parents allowed me to have a Yorkie baby girl, and then 3 kitties my mom and I rescued from the street, that still back home with her. Then, I moved to Toronto to study abroad, where I also had the opportunity to be a dog sitter, walker, and board dozens of cuties at their place and at my house as well; both doggies and kitties, from Persians to Great Danes, from 4 month old puppies to 17 year old seniors. I also had the opportunity to take care of two mentally ill dogs back in Toronto; one of them was a super anxious rescued Collie mix that didn't trust anyone to walk her or be with her around the house except for her human mom and me. She was very aggresive towards everyone else (dogs and people). The other case was a diagnosed ADHD Labrador that I walked twice a week, it wasn't easy but I happy to see him out of his appartment. Both cases with muzzles. I honestly love so much all dogs and cats that I just want learn all about them and receive that daily serotonin boost at home :) I’m animal behaviorist wannabe who is passionate about observing, analyzing, and finding ways to communicate better with each other.

Hadassa was wonderful! It was ours and our dog’s first experience with a weekend away using a pet service like Rover to board her and Hadassa exceeded expectations. She made us and Annie completely comfortable and happy! She arranged a meet and greet in advance to ensure everyone involved: ourselves, our dog, herself and her cat, would all get along. My husband and I were immediately comfortable after seeing that our usually standoffish at first dog immediately greeted Hadassa like an old friend. She sent several photos throughout the weekend of Annie being part of their family - cuddling, playing with her cat, going on walks, etc. She reached out with any questions, kept us apprised of everything happening, and was very helpful and flexible whenever our return flight had some delays. We plan to book another experience with Hadassa very soon!

Hadassa was AMAZING! I got plenty of text updates and cute photos. She was so loving to my dog as if it was her very own. She has great patience and love for animals and it gave me so much comfort knowing my dog was well spoiled with love and play time everyday. She has great response time and outstanding communication. As a first timer on here is as so scared and nervous but I am so happy I decided to go with Hadassa. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

We had a great first experience using Hadassa to care for our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She had some separation anxiety at first, but Hadassa gave her plenty of attention and love, and Abby did just fine. Hadassa sent me photos and communicated in detail on Abby with me daily. I can definitely recommend Hadassa, and would use her again in the future. She has a genuine love for animals, and it shows. Many thanks Hadassa for your great care of Abby!

Information Hadassa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they have any special medication, food allergies, diet or water preferences, or if they are obsessed or scare with any objects we should hide or use during the visit. Also, it’s very important to know if they can sleep outside our bedroom without any problem at night because we keep the door close because I’m a light sleeper.

A typical day

I love playing fetch, running wild in the backyard, and talk to them a lot (as having deep conversations hehe). I also like to walk at night with my partner, and we love to do it even more when accompanied by a dog :)
