Finley's Place -Sleepovers for Dogs

Pet care experience

Finley and I are getting ready to retire and want to give your dog a place to hang out while you are away. We have a king bed so there is lots of room for you to snuggle in and watch Netflix or hang out on our deck soaking up the sunshine with us. Our fenced in backyard is great for ripping around or just out there to do your 'business' Clayton Park is just off the highway and central to Dartmouth, Bedford and Lower Sackville Finley and I have traveled all over North America competing in conformation and dog trials. So far we have obtained American, Canadian and European Championships and 5 titles. I founded and run Italian Greyhound Fanciers for socialization, education and pet placements for US breeders and find great joy in helping people get a dog. Halifax Kennel Club - member (former secretary) Canadian Kennel Club - former member Italian Greyhound Club of Canada - member (former Atlantic Director) We are 'piddle pad' friendly for small dogs You don't need to bring anything besides food as we have beds, toys, treats everything your dogs will need during their stay. I only do 'sleepovers' which increases the comfort for your dog and there are not new dogs coming and going. When taking on new guests we have to go thru what I call 'match.c.o.m.' for dogs. We must meet by you and your dog coming to my house for a visit where we will chat about him/her and what your needs are. Then he/she will come to my house for a 2-3 hours visit (no charge) to make sure they are comfortable and they know you will be back for them as they were left there before. If you are considering Finley and I please make sure there is enough time for a meet before you go away.

Jill provided wonderful overnight care to our Georgie for 3 days! We appreciated her attention to detail, safety and spending lots of time with us during a meet and greet several days before our trip to help Georgie develop trust and comfort in her home. Jill’s home is also very clean and she has a great backyard that is fully fenced with a locked gate. While we were away, we also appreciated how Jill updated us regularly with messages and pictures of Georgie’s day. It was also obvious to us that Jill really loves dogs and has a lot of knowledge and experience with their care. We would not hesitate to recommend Jill to anyone needing overnight pet care and will be contacting her again for our next trip! Thanks again Jill!!

Going away is never easy when you leave one of your family behind. However, once we met Jill and watched as she interacted with Kali we knew she would be safe in her hands. Many thanks Auntie Jill...... and from Kali: ~lick,lick.

I have known Jill as as show dog owner and informal dog sitter for 14 years. She understands both dogs and people very well. There is no question she would be suitable for the task for the dogs and for their owners

Saki did very well at Jills place when we were out of town for a week. Previously when we left her at the kennel Saki didn’t eat and lost weight, and was a nervous wreck when she came home. This time she ate every meal, looked great and seemed very happy and relaxed. Thank you Jill for taking such good care of our fur baby!
