Qualified and Loving Pet Care
Pet care experience
Offering quality, loving pet care in your home or mine! My services include boarding in my home, drop-ins, and overnight live-in pet care in your home located across Southern Ontario but primarily Stouffville, Uxbridge and Toronto. I am insured and CPR and Pet First Aid certified (2023). I am a gentle, confident and balanced pet handler. I offer lots of treats and positive reinforcement handling, plus I encourage animal led enrichment while on walks. I am formally educated in animal psychology and animal-human connections and worked in the animal therapy field. Note: I am a balanced handler (not strictly positive reinforcement, but heavy in this method). I live on 5 acres located 10 minutes from both Uxbridge and Stouffville. My primary residence is a bachelor apartment that’s cozy and will suit 1-3 small to medium breed dogs at a time. I request dogs be trained, quiet and love people and other dogs. I also love caring for elderly and special needs pets. There are no stairs in my unit but there are stairs going up to my unit so dogs should be mobile or small enough to carry. My acreage is unfenced so dogs will be leashed during outdoor adventures but they will get to explore so many sights and smells of nature living!

Availability
I provide pet care full time and am dedicated to this profession. The routine is animal led, however pets usually go outside for formal walks 3x per day and a couple potty breaks in between if necessary. If your dog prefers more or less, that’s what they receive! Pets are with me almost 24 hours per day unless I have to run an errand or visit another client (if your dog likes other dogs then they come with me to other client visits for walks). I am located on 5 acres and pets have access to all of it while leashed as it is unfenced.
