Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced large backyard with 6ft tall solid wood fencing and locked gate as well as a fully fenced inground pool that the dogs can use with pet parents permission and a flotation safety vest. Quiet home with no other fur babies so your pet will get all of my love and attention. Happy to carry older dogs in and out of the house, car or up onto furniture and bed if needed. Dogs must always wear a seat belt in my vehicle if not crated. I have my own seat belt attachment to secure to a dogs collar or body harness. Crates will also be belted in if being transported in my vehicle. If you do not allow your fur baby on furniture or to sleep in the bed then please let me know and provide a crate for sleeping if needed.

Information Janis B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know breed of dog, activity level, if fully socialized and friendly with other dogs/or not, behaviour traits I should be aware of. Details on any feeding specialization and specifics on any medications and medical issues.

A typical day

Your dogs day will be customized based on their activity level. Walks around the neighbourhood and to the park, play in the pool in nice weather if dog parents allow. Fun training exercises, play catch in the backyard and lots of cuddles. For full day-care services and overnight stays we can do trips to the off leash dog park about a 10min drive away if dog parents allow.

Animal Lover in East York!

Pet care experience

Specializing in senior and/or special needs dogs that require a little extra love and attention such as vision and hearing impairment, arthritic, mobility issues, dietary allergies and special dietary needs/restrictions or fear of other dogs. I am experienced in administering pain and anti-inflammatory medication both pill and liquid as well as eye drop and ear drop medication and light massage for sore joints and muscles. My own dog Otis was a special needs fur baby who was my constant companion and best friend. After over 18 years Otis passed away and even though I may not be ready to get another fur baby of my own I have lots of love to give and understand the struggle of finding appropriate care for a special needs pet. I have a single story home in a quiet residential neighbourhood with a fully fenced (6ft solid wood fence and locked gate) large backyard with a separately enclosed inground pool that dogs may use with parents permission and safety flotation vest. The pool is great for dogs with mobility issues. Close to two parks with a small quiet park a 2 min walk away and a larger more active park a 5 min walk away. I have recently started online self study classes which allows me greater flexibility to provide one on one care. For special needs pets I am happy to do a complimentary meet and great before providing any services. For daycare and overnight care in my home dog must be "non-shedding" or "low shedding" due to allergies. Such as shih-tzu, shih-poo, poodle, doodle, maltese, yorkie etc. For walks and visits to your home I'm happy to do all breeds . I am also a life long aquarist with extensive experience in fresh and salt water fish, reef aquariums and koi ponds. Also fish that are aggressive and carnivorous and enjoy live feeding. Happy to provide care and maintenance services while you are away.

Janis is an EXCELLENT pet sitter. This is our second time using her. We sent our dog to her during a move and it was so good to know she was in great hands and was settled in a familiar place. We also get so many updates and photos from Janice- we just love that.

We had an excellent time with Janis for our 2 poodles for 3 weeks! She sent us photos and updates each day. The dogs were very happy with her. Highly recommended and looking forward to future bookings with her. Amazing experience!
