Leave your fur family in safe hands

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Jennifer and thats my husband Femi in the display pic. I have always loved animals my entire life and grew up with a German Shepherd in my home. I am that person when visiting friends gets excited to see their dogs and keeps getting distracted with petting and playing with them. In one of my jobs, I worked in an office with a King Shepherd named Rocket who I walked daily on lunch breaks (for 5 years) and will dog/cat sit for my sisters. I also had an amazing experience volunteering as a dog walker at the humane society in St Catharines during university and worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities. We understand how animals are family and would take great care of your pet in a loving, reliable, trusting, and fun way (lots of playing and activity). We send many pictures/videos/updates throughout their stay to make sure you can see how your dog is doing and for your comfort to know your pup is okay. We have been dog sitting on Rover for 3 years between when we lived in North York and Hamilton. It has been a life changing experience where we met amazing dogs and dog parents and even still keep in touch with a couple of the families from North York.

It was the first time my two dogs did boarding at Jennifer, and as usual, it was great! I'm happy with her work and how my dogs were taken care of when I needed to be elsewhere. I recommend Jennifer!

Jennifer was great! Took good care of our pup, sent lots of video and photos which we really appreciated. Very communicative and responds quickly. Would definitely work with her again.

Jennifer and her husband are wonderful! Our two dogs love visiting, whether for daycare or boarding. We know they will be well taken care of and safe. 100% recommended!

With Jennifer being on mat leave and taking care of the baby, it did impact how many potty breaks our puppy could have in which we didn’t really know prior to sending him. This resulted in him accidentally peeing on their couch and instantly getting kicked out of their daycare—this behaviour isn’t something we see at all and is not typical for our dog— what upset me unfortunately was how this was communicated to me, while I was at work an hour after I dropped him off, the timing wasn’t ideal as I started getting quite emotional at work because of it. My boyfriend left work and picked up our dog. This truthfully should have been an in person conversation therefore I am a little disappointed. I understand, but I am disappointed.

Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dogs needs in terms of feeding instructions and schedules, playing preferences and your expectations of how you want your dog cared for. It's also helpful to know anything to be watchful of such as they may lunge at food or not good with big dogs etc. The more communication the better for everyone!

A typical day

We typically do a morning walk and an evening walk and pee breaks throughout the day depending on the need of each dog. We love playing fetch, tug of war and spending time petting and cuddling the dogs we care for.
