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 :) "

I had a wonderful experience with Jay as a rover boarder for my dog, Toby. From our initial meet-up, it was clear Jay was professional and attentive, taking the time to see how his dogs interacted with Toby. Throughout Toby's stay, Jay ensured he was not only well-fed on schedule but also got plenty of love and playtime. It was comforting to know Toby was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

Jay took care of my puppy for the day and he is the absolute best!! Coco looked so relaxed and happy around him and his family and the other dogs, and I could tell she had the best time! Jay not only was amazing at communicating with me, but he also took the time and made sure to introduce Coco to all the other dogs there and he sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day to ease my mind and ensure me that Coco was being well taken care of 😊. I couldn’t recommend Jay’s services enough and I’m most definitely going to be planning for Coco to come back frequently!

Bella was always very shy dog, scare of other dogs and not very playful. I was worried how she’d behave in new environment. Jay was very thoughtful, introduced her gradually to other dogs, and she made new friends today. I’m sure she will be very happy to come back to spend time with Jay. Thank you, Djordjina

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.
