Pet care experience
A Fun, Active Dog-Loving Home!
Hi I’m Jamie! I’m 35 and I currently do not have any pets as my beloved frenchie Mylo crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago. I have 15 years of dog care experience with age 8 weeks old all the way to seniors. I am a huge animal lover and I have taken part in wild life rescue as well as dog rescue. I also have extensive experience with French bulldogs and short nose breeds in particular as I have now been a dog mom to 3 of them and understand their unique care needs and how to be careful with them to prevent conditions like IVDD, heat stroke, allergies, and respiratory distress. I also have a lot of experience with puppies and potty training using only positive reinforcement methods. I don’t believe in “punishing” dogs for unwanted behaviour and will always treat your fur baby like family as they deserve to be treated. I take a calm, leadership role while also creating a connection with love and trust with all the animals I care for. I love to get outside and go for walks, go to the park, pup cups at Starbucks, and spend time playing with dogs in my care whether they are my fur babies or yours! I eventually will have another dog if my own when the time is right. Each one of my past dogs have all been loved so dearly and I understand how important our fur babies are to us pet parents. I promise to always care for them like they’re my own and always make them feel safe, secure, loved, and cared for. I only ever take 2 dogs at a time if they are from the same household as I don’t want to have too many dogs mixing together or not be able to give them the attention they all need. I am always home, so your pup will never be alone when in my care. I also have a lot of experience administering oral medications, so I am happy to care for dogs on medication. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Schedule
Every morning I have a set routine of getting up early (usually when the dog I’m caring for chooses around 7:45-8:45am) and start the day with a potty break in the yard, followed by breakfast for myself and the pup in my care. After that we go for an on leash walk/outing at a park or trail, often followed by a trip to Starbucks for a hot chocolate and pup cup! After that we head home and have some quiet/cuddle time. Then it’s lunch time and another potty break time! Usually later in the afternoon we have some indoor play time. I usually feed the dog(s) in my care dinner around 5:30pm and we will go on a shorter neighborhood walk before it gets dark. I try to keep bedtime not too late so we can keep a routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For me, pets are family and I want to make them feel very welcome and at home. At my home, I have a mostly fenced yard and thick bushes in areas without fence and live very close to a really nice park. I do have a large crate, but I typically only use them for car travel unless the pet parent requests their dog be crated at night while they sleep (which would be in my bedroom with me). I always give my absolute all to give excellent care to pets! Dogs have a very special place in my heart and it’s a privilege to have their company and their parents’ trust. I will always be with your pet while they’re in my care as I do not leave them home alone to go anywhere. So they will be out and about with me or at home with me. I also live with my mom who has been the absolute best dog nana my dogs could have ever asked for through the years. She is so gentle and so loving with dogs, and it’s great to have her join in on the walks and snuggle time at home with any dog(s) we are caring for.
A typical day
I always do a daily outing to a park or local trail for a nice walk, unless we are having really extreme weather or your dog isn’t up for an outing like that due to their age or any sort of medical condition. After lunch, usually the pups like to rest and snuggle for a bit on the couch. I like to do play-time in the house or yard. I also like to use doggy puzzles with hidden treats, snuffle mats, peanut butter kongs, and dental chews for other things to keep pups occupied. Basically they have my full attention all day and I will make sure they are not bored and they are getting all the love, care and attention they need!

- It’s important to know if your dog has a history of being reactive with dogs, or is fearful about certain things, not well socialized with other dogs/animals or strangers, has anxiety, any sort of behavioural issues, any sort of resource guarding, or doesn’t get along with other dogs or certain people so I know how to handle your dog best and if it’s something I’m equipped enough to handle. I only ever doggy sit 2 dogs at one time if they are from the same household. It’s also very important to know if your dog has any health/medical conditions or issues, allergies, special needs, or special care requirements. It’s important to know if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or animals/other dogs. I have a lot of experience and I do my best to accommodate every pup’s needs! The more information I have about your dog’s unique quirks, personality traits, fears, triggers etc, the better I can understand their needs.
