Pet care experience

Prices are pending due to everyones schedule and everyday stay being different. Im not a pretty face but i love animals and they seem to show me love back. I've been an animal lover and owner my whole life. Growing up in the country most of my life I've learn to love them all. I know life can get a little hectic for some at times, and pets have there needs. Whether you need a vacation for a night or so or just can't fit it in your work schedule. Don't make them wait I'd love to help out. I live in a 3 bedroom home that has lots of extra room with a smaller fenced backyard. My home is located near lots trails and parks that are great for nice walks. I also like to attend events and social gatherings with them if ok with the owner. Places like spoil the dog bakery, parks and more. I understand each pet is different. The last year was a hard year, I lost my beagle Charles to kidney failure at 11yrs of age. Going through that made me learn alot more about pet health, medications, diets and routines . I now have a male foxhound who is a year old. He has gone to training and is a 2 time graduate already. I also have a cat who is 8, both are vary friendly with others and guests that come to the home and well socialized. Both are always up to date with shots and vaccines. I have a fiance that also lives in the home, she works in healthcare field. I provide a clean safe place for your loved one to visit/spend a night or what your needs may be. I also understand the ownership of owning a pet and sticking to an owner's schedule and ones needs. My goal is to make sure your loved one has a great comfortable stay away from home and maintain any schedules /rules you as an owner have provided. Whether your loved one needs lots of excerise or just a quiet stress free place to stay your needs will be fulfilled. Your loved one will never be left alone while in my care. I have lots of toys and treats at my place for those who stop in for a visit or a stay . Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Drop off and pick up times are always made easy !! I ensure your loved one will be taken care of like my own. I will only accept dogs from one owner at a time to maintain a safe place for and to show your loved one the attention it needs. I ensure when your loved one goes home that they are exhausted. I would love to meet with you and your fury !!!! Let's set up a play date give me and my georgie boy a chance and you won't be disappointed. Your pooch will love you for making the proper decision so let's get together :) Meet and greets welcomed Daily updates with pictures on stays Requests by each client are met Please look over my reviews

John has been amazing with my pup Yuki. I've always been concerned about my dog's nervous and anxious behavior, leaving him in a more busy kennel for doggy daycare. But John provides a nice and quiet environment that Yuki finds comfortable. So happy we found John!

John has looked after my highly anxious dog and I can’t get over how quickly Gus warmed up to him and George. Gus had a great day. Lots of exercise and love provided. I highly recommend him.

I was very happy to meet John, as my dog Churro really loved him and his dog. John is very friendly, responsible and helpful, and you can tell that he really loves animals. I was reluctant to leave my small dog in a kennel and wanted to find the right caregiver. Having met John, I now feel confident that when I make out of town plans, my dog will be staying with someone that gives him personal care and attention. I would highly recommend John.

Alright, listen. I'm a neurotic dog mom. Like I spend more on my dog in a month than I do myself. John is the BEES KNEES. My pup gets so excited to hangout with him and always comes back ready to cuddle. John makes sure they're tired, but not so overwhelmed that they're snippy. Something I hated about commercial kennels was my baby would come home miserable because he didnt get a chance to chill! John keeps you updated throughout the time he is with your dog, and gives a little update at the end with what they did. Best in the Waterloo region hands down. You won't be disappointed! I promise!

A typical day

Your loved one will enjoy lots of long walks or naps which ever he or she prefers. A game of tug of war or fetch can be had as well . It's a quiet environment that is located in a quiet area. If going to the park or other places spark an interest of the owner we don't shy away from being social. I have lots of toys for your friend to enjoy during there stay. High energy dogs will return home tired. I strive in taking the energy out of the dog for you.
