Pet care experience

Big fenced yard/McDonald Campus WOW

Have the perfect, purpose built home, that was actually reno'd for dogs, with heated Florida room floor for backyard squirrel watching and sunning. I'm just two houses off the east side of the John Abbott/McDonald Campus in St Annes. I have just retired and now have the opportunity to travel a lot. The travel has temporarily got in the way of me getting my own dog(s) and want others to know that their dogs will be showered with love and affection when I take care of them for you. I'm a university grad and I LOVE dogs. I've have had a Pug, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Boston Terrier over many years of dog ownership. When you see my place, you and your small to medium sized dog will fall in love with it. Although I have never needed it, I “Air Tag” dogs in my care.

Joni was great with my 2 Frenchie's. Her house is set up for top pup comfort. Mocha my female took to her immediately witch is unheard of. She was patient with my boy Arch who felt the need to mark her plants that were ground level, and was naughty when he got into one and unpotted it :( I can't say that I've ever seen him do that at home but I don't have plants so this was all new for him. I'm embarrassed he wasn't on his best behavior but she handled it magnificently.

I loved seeing all the pics of our pups during their stay. I could see the dogs behaving just like they do at home so we knew they were comfortable and happy. 😊 This is the second time they have stayed with Joni and will rebook for our next vacation.

Joni was amazing with our young pup Marley. She provided updates daily with plenty of pics. We knew that our dog was in great hands and would not hesitate to use Joni’s services again.

Our dogs seemed to have had a great time staying with Joni. They loved being outside in her wonderful yard. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates. It was so nice to see them feeling at home. I highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

We always feel completely at ease knowing Bella is with Joni. She looks so happy in all the photos — it’s clear they have such a fun time together! It means so much to know Bella is loved and well cared for while we’re away. Thank you, Joni, for being amazing! 🐾💛
