Pet care experience

I love all dogs but I only board dogs under 50lbs😊 I love dogs, always have! I have been looking after dogs for the past 10 years and I have had dogs most of my life. I started as a professional dog walker 10 years ago and fell in love with taking care of dogs. I’m home full time, your pups are almost never left alone. I live near two great parks/beaches and have a big fully fenced back yard. It would be a pleasure to have your dog stay with us and be part of the family, snuggle with us on the couch, go for long walks and play. It’s like camp for your pup. Lots of fun and play. A Meets-n-Greet visit is required to mutually agree if your dog and our home is the right fit. Rates start at; for boarding $40+/24(hours or less), for daycare $30+/12(hours or less). The rates are depending on size and needs of your pup. Dogs over 35lbs/special needs/puppies up to 2 years old, are $45+(Boarding) and $35(daycare). Administering medications is extra depending on amount and complexity. Unfortunately I don’t take dogs over 50lbs and younger than 10 months old. All dogs need to be fully house trained(no pee pads/night bathroom breaks) and socialized with other dogs. Drop-offs and pick-ups can be scheduled anytime between 7:30am and 6pm. The best part about caring for dogs is how they love unconditionally. I have a Lhasa Apso named Jule, who loves other Rover Dogs! She loves having playmates and loves all dogs big and small. Every owner will receive updates which include wonderful pictures and videos of your pup’s adventures while they are staying with us! Guest pups can sleep on one of our big comfy pillows or on their pillows or in their crates -- it's just like slumber party for dogs! We have lots of pillows around the house or if they have a favourite blanket/ bed/crate you can bring it with them. If your dog is used to a crate we can accommodate. We love going to the park/beach everyday to play and explore! We go for an hour walk everyday. Doggie treats are high value, all natural and plentiful for every guest pup. This is my full time job. I’m home with the dogs almost all of the time. They have potty breaks in the back yard every 2-3 hours and we go for a long walk everyday to near by beaches and parks. Your pets are well supervised at all times. They get lots of personal care and attention as well as fun and playtime with other dogs.

Kaja did an excellent job taking care of Napoleon. It was wonderful to get photo updates of his stay with the family. Will definitely use Kaja again.

We have been so hesitant to send our anxious french bulldog to a sitter, but Kaja made our first visit smooth and stress-free. You can tell she is very experienced, has a very calming demeanor and helped ease our minds probably as much (or more) as our dog's! :) And our dog, who has not let a single stranger pet her since we adopted her 7 months ago, accepted pets on day one! That says it all! We will absolutely be booking again!

Information Kaja D. would like to know about your pet

I meet all the dogs I walk or board, if at all possible. I don't take aggressive dogs. Your dog needs to be fully house trained(no pee pads or potty breaks in the middle of the night)and I don’t take puppies younger than 10 months or dogs over 50lbs. All dogs need to be on a flea and tick program. I also ask that you bathe your dog before drop off as well as any bedding(for boarding) that you provide.

A typical day

There are 2 parks and many beaches within walking distance. Mount Doug is 3 min by car. Everyday we go on at least an hour excursion( off leash with good recall) we explore the beaches play fetch and have a good time or go for a hike on the trails. It's the highlight of the day. During the rest of the day we go out into the yard at least every 3 hour, we explore and play. The yard is huge and fully fenced with lots of space to run and play, sit under a tree or in the sun. I love to garden so I spend a lot of time with the dogs in the yard. There is also a deck in the front where the dogs love to hang out during the day as it is shaded in the afternoon. We often sit there and have tea and cuddles.

I don’t work outside of the house. Dog sitting is my full time occupation. Your dog will get lots of love, attention and playtime. There are 4 adults living in the house so they are almost never left alone.
