Golden Whisperer

(English follows) J'ai passé toute ma vie entouré de chiens, surtout les golden retrievers, mais depuis que j'ai déménagé à Montréal, je n'ai pas eu la possibilité d'avoir mon propre chien. J'espère que cette application me permettra de retrouver le bonheur de passer du temps avec de beaux pitous! I have spent my whole life surrounded by golden retrievers but since moving to the city (Montreal) have not been able to have my own. Hoping this app will allow me the opportunity to reconnect with some cute pooches. EN, FR, ES, NL & PT

Joel was great with our dog. He was calm, comfortable and attentive to our dog. He clearly knows Labradors well and knew how handle an energetic dog. We also appreciated the photos and updates during the stay. Would definitely recommend him!

Joel was absolutely amazing with my dog, Zoe! From the very beginning, he took the time to do a meet and greet so she felt comfortable, which gave me peace of mind. He accommodated my last minute booking without hesitation and treated Zoe like she was his own. What I appreciated most were the regular updates and photos as it made being away from her so much easier. He kept her active with walks, played with her, and gave her so much love and attention. I could tell she was happy and well cared for the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Joel. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! Thanks again Joel!

Joel was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. He even arranged a 5:00 a.m. drop off to make my work travel arrangements easier, which I really appreciated. He was kind, thoughtful, and clearly cared about Luna’s comfort and well-being. For example, he made sure she stuck to her usual feeding schedule and took her on multiple walks each day, even sending photos of her happily exploring the neighborhood. He also noticed when she seemed a bit anxious the first evening and spent extra time sitting with her and giving her attention until she settled in. He checked in with regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the photos and updates that Luna was genuinely enjoying her time with him and felt comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.

Joël is a fantastic sitter and has watched my dog Chico many times. He always makes sure Chico is comfortable, takes him on long walks and gives lots of cuddles and photo updates. Chico is always extremely happy to be watched by Joel and very excited to see him each time! I highly recommend Joel as a pet sitter that you can trust to take excellent care of your fur baby

Joel is an exceptional dog sitter: conscientious, responsible, and caring. He has looked after my two-year-old Golden Retriever, Cody, on several occasions and each time Cody has been happy and well cared for. Joel grew up in a dog-loving family that raised Golden Retrievers, and he has a natural affinity for dogs. He understands the importance of providing structure and consistency in every aspect of their care. He is also an affable person and a good communicator and I really appreciated that he updated me in real time on how Cody was doing. I recommend him enthusiastically.

Schedule

(English follows) Je travaille à temps-plein, mais 3 jours sur 5, je suis en teletravail. Mes services sont probablement plus aptes pour des courtes durées de temps, mais je suis flexible! Venez me jaser :) I work full-time, but from home 3 days per week. My dog sitting is probably best suited for shorter periods i.e. less than one week but flexible depending on needs and availability :)

Safety, trust & environment

(English follows) J'ai un appartement 4.5 et je vis seul. Je suis proche du Parc Père Marquette et plusieurs ruelles - idéales pour des balades :) I live alone in a two-bedroom apartment. I am near Parc Pere Marquette and several quiet alleyways, making for nice double u, ay, el, kays.

A typical day

(English follows) Chaque chien est différent et donc j'essaie de m'adapter, mais en générale, je trouve ça le fun de sortir, jouer avec, et donner de l'affection. Every pup is different, and so I try to adapt my approach, but in general, I love going for little walks, playing in the park, and giving affection.
