A typical day

There will be around 6 potty breaks during a day (2 in the morning, 1 walk around noon if it's not too hot, 1 in the afternoon, 1 walk after dinner, and last one would be before they sleep). Those schedules could be adjusted for different needs. The dogs will mostly stay on the main floor and sometimes allowed to be in our finished basement. We will also bring them to the backyard when we finish our work and will be supervising them at all time. We also have some puzzles that we can hide the treats inside to keep them busy for a while :)

Pet care experience

Dogs have been part of our family since I was born. Beagle is our favourite breed; 4 of them had been with us. There are currently two friendly beagles in our house, with an artificial turf installed fenced backyard, to keep your pups busy, clean and safe at the same time. Currently I'm doing dog sitting as my full time job. I'd be watching when the pups are playing to make sure they are safe while they are having fun. Water is always available in the house and backyard. The meet & greet is always required for any new pups to our big family. It's my responsibility to know each fur baby before the stay starts. The meeting will provide a chance for me to understand your pup's needs in advance; it is also a chance for your pup to get familiar with the environment, so he/she can be more relaxed during the stay! For the meal time, all of the instructions will be followed to make sure the meal will be exactly the same as it is at home. For my two beagles, we'd soak their kibbles with warm water to make sure they take in certain amount of water for the day. We also mix steamed pumpkin, fish oil and probiotics in meals to keep them healthy. "You don’t get a pet to fulfill your own needs; you should be ready to take care of them like your own baby :) "

Jay is a fantastic sitter! Very fast responding to texts, sends tons of photos and our pup loves going there. Have booked for both day care and boarding and had positive experiences with both! Will definitely book again.

I was nervous leaving my 1 year old maltese at daycare for the first time. Jay totally put my mind at ease. They took a great care of him, and sent me adorable photo updates. He came home happy and tired out in the best way. Highly recommend them for any small dog owner.

Jay is an amazing sitter who sends photos while we are away so we know our pup is having a great time. We have used him for a few holidays now and she always comes back happy and exercised from all the play, we know she is happy there because she is happy to see him and goes with him without looking back when we drop her off. So glad we found Jay on rover.
