Pet care experience
Dog Trainer & Retired Vet Tech
LGBTQ+ Safe 🥰 I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, I had been a Registered Veterinary Technician for 8 years before retiring in 2026 but had branched into my real interest, behaviour in 2022 by starting my own company and focusing on helping owners with their reactive and fearful dogs. I have worked in general practices and emergency medicine so your pet couldn't be in safer hands while with me. My big interests for breeds are German Shepherd Dogs, Dobermans, Malinois, Border Collies, essentially any working or high drive dogs. I've raised Bulldogs, Am Staff's, Rotties and German Shepherds through my life but working on the veterinary side I've worked with everything big and small. I love giant breeds, I've handled everything up to 180 lbs at this point. Though my current dog is a hound mix so I have begun to fall in love with those types of personalities and I do desire a Wire Fox Terrier later in life. I love advocating not only for fearful/anxious dogs but also small breeds who's behaviours are often ignored. My current dog is a rehome to me after biting the baby sitter in his initial home a few weeks after coming to Canada. Since being with me he has a fantastic support system from our primary care vet, our veterinary behaviour consultant, other local dog trainers, and a rehab/fitness specialist to not only manage his chronic pain but his medical management. He is currently on medications but has thrived in training since being with me, he has not been a bite risk while in my care. He loves humans more than anything, wanting to give you kisses and crawl into your skin if you allow him. He loves his dog friends as well, we spend lots of time hiking off leash with other dogs and training with them. Because of this he is also my demo dog for showing other dogs how to be comfortable and confident in the world while also showing things are possible to stressed owners that were where Memphis was in January 2025. My company is Canine Stability and I offer Dog Training, Dangerous Dog Assessments, Behavioural Rehabilitation for dogs with bite histories and severe anxiety and more. I love to focus on reactive and fearful dogs but please check out my Instagram to learn more!

Ratings and reviews
Kiley is wonderful. Our cats were well cared for and loved. It made going away less stressful knowing they were in good hands. She followed instructions and went above and beyond. I appreciate lots of picture and videos. I have already shared Kiley’s name to a friend. Highly recommend.
Kali was thrilled to see Kiley again! Great feedback on the visit.
Our dog Kali loved having Kiley stay with her. Kiley was great about keeping us up to date on how Kali was doing with texts and photos. We will definitely reach out again the next time we need someone to stay with Kali!
Kiley stayed at our place and looked after our german shepherd/husky mix for a week while we were travelling for a wedding. Everything went smoothly and she sent daily pictures and videos of him. We will definitely ask her again in the future to watch our dog. We are so happy with her house sitting service!
Kiley looked after our 2 boys for the weekend and was amazing with them. We feel so fortunate that we can relax when we are away knowing our boys are in the best hands! Kudos for Kiley for dealing with some messy accidents and our super needy, high energy boys 🐾🐾
Kiley was amazing! She took great care of our animals while we were away for the long weekend. Gave us lots of updates and was in constant contact with us. Can’t say enough good things! Thanks Kiley ❤️

Schedule
Currently my full-time job is my own business so am home during the day while having training sessions in the evenings and weekends. This is why I am now offering boarding for the work day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am very vigilant about closed doors and gates. My backyard is fully fenced in but dogs are still not left unattended outside or when together. I believe in keeping arousal/stimulation fairly low, we are allowed to play but nothing crazy to avoid miscommunications between dogs and injuries. This doesn't mean they don't get to have structured play, access to a dig pit or other fun games and enrichment during their stay. Being calm and quiet helps with them being more calm and relaxed with the interactions given I am a new face usually. I am always hyper aware on walks or when out of the house with pets, I don't allow strangers to approach or unknown off leash dogs out of utmost precaution. I don't like or go to dog parks for the same reason, just to he on the safe side with unknown dogs/people. I prefer 2 attachments to dogs coming to my home. So I do prefer a collar and harness to be on the dog at time of drop off. Harnesses come off when inside but collars do not as they still stay under my direct supervision.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day would be dropping off in the morning between 7:30am-9am. On arrival they are allowed to check out the backyard first before meeting the other dogs one by one in the yard keeping everyone engaging/interacting with me. After arrivals we will play in the yard for awhile, rain or shine, using some words they know and some games to build our relationship. After play we will always come inside to rest, this will be either the living room or my bedroom depending on the day and where they want to rest. There will be days they will learn to setting on a bed or cot independently as well as I believe relaxation is an important skill to have around other dogs. I will play the tv and get work done during this time. Then around lunch we will go outside again, go to the field by my house, walk the neighbourhood and/or do some simple training depending on the day and how many dogs. They will then get another rest inside before going outside for another activity before going home for the day.

- I'd like to know their temperament, personality, any history of trauma, prey/ toy drive, resource guarding, how they like to be approached and preferred high value treats. Dos and don't lists are fantastic. The more notes I have the happier I am! Would love a list of triggers if the pet is a bit reactive to help me make it a great experience for your pet too! I also absolutely need to know if they are cat friendly.
