Fun filled day with dogs!
Pet care experience
My love for dogs started very early on in life, with the family dog. I simply can't imagine my life without a dog. It only made sense that I turn that passion into a dog walking and sitting business. Also, I love walking and being outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and activities while you are away. I've taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, level of energy. My own dog is a sweet 18 pound rescue. He's a mix of (most likely) Chihuahua and some other dog that runs very fast, because no dog can really catch him in the park and he loves to be chased. Nothing will put a smile on my face more than a group of dogs running in the park! I'm home full time and my days revolve around spending time with the dogs in my care. I love photographing the dogs and writing stories about their adventures and antics, so you'll hear about your dog and get photos while you are away. I am really looking forward to meeting you and your doggy companion.
Reviews
Johanne is such a gentle soul. You can feel the love she has for animals as soon as you meet her. She brought calm and comforting energy when we left our 8 month old puppy in her excellent care. She has a special connection to animals and makes us owners feel at ease. I would send our dog to be in her care again.
Johanne is a wonderful sitter. Archie always gets so excited when we arrive near her home. Communication with Johanne is excellent, she is friendly, provides regular photo updates, and takes excellent care of my pup.
Johanne was very accomodating to meet Whiskey prior to his first stay with her. Whiskey was there for three nights and Johanne shared pictures and gave updates which allowed us to enjoy our weekend away knowing that he was in great hands. Would definitely recommend!
Cody had another great stay! It is very reassuring to know that he is so well cared for and enjoys his time with Johanne. Love getting the pictures too :) Thanks so much Johanne!

We go to the dog park at least once a day to run and let loose, and then have plenty of walks around the neighbourhood to read our "pee-mail" and take care of business.

A typical day
I have been walking and sitting dogs for over 21 years. Dogs that vacation in my home get a one hour midday romp in the park daily. We also go out for 3 other walks around the neighborhood to sniff and take care of business, in the morning, around supper time and again before bed. Dogs that come stay at my place quickly learn that my home is a very fun doggy hangout and sometimes don't even want to leave when their people come pick them up. I'm at home most of the time so your dog will seldom be alone. They are included in my activities most of the time. You will come home to a contented doggy! Looking forward to meeting you are you pooch!

Availability
Pet care is what I do full time so your dog will be in my company pretty much the whole time he/she is here. I take care of multiple dogs at once so your dog will make new furry friends to play with and go for walks with and cuddle with after all the playing.
