As a semi-retired professional working from home, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to the pets I look after. Here's a glimpse of how pet care fits into my routine: Daily Routine: MORNING: I start my day with a morning walk in the nearby park trails, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise and social interaction. AFTERNOON: Another Walk or playtime and training sessions in my fenced backyard, reinforcing good behaviors and keeping the dogs mentally stimulated. EVENING: Walk or Play session in the backyard to wind down the day, followed by a relaxing routine to ensure the dogs are comfortable and settled for the night. SPECIAL OUTINGS: Occasionally, I plan special outings to different parks or pet-friendly locations to keep the experience varied and exciting. CONTINUOUS TRAINING: I incorporate ongoing training and enrichment activities to reinforce positive behaviors and address any new training needs. My flexible schedule ensures that each pet receives the dedicated attention and care they need, creating a nurturing and enriching environment for their well-being.

Safety, trust & environment

With a securely fenced backyard, I provide a safe and stimulating environment where your dog can play and explore freely without the risk of wandering off. This enclosed space allows for supervised playtime and exercise, ensuring that every dog remains safe and happy. I can support your crate training if needed, offering your pup a personal space where they can feel secure and comfortable. This method not only aids in house training but also provides a safe haven for the dogs when they need a moment of rest or retreat. My home environment is specifically designed to cater to the needs of dogs. With no children or other animals in the house, I can focus exclusively on providing individualized attention to one or two dogs at a time. This arrangement minimizes stress and maximizes the quality of care, ensuring that each dog feels valued and loved. Located near the picturesque Independence Oaks Park trails, I can offer dog-friendly walking areas, enhancing the overall experience for your furry friend. This serene and controlled environment, combined with my dedicated care, makes the Ultimate Dog Retreat the perfect choice for your dog's home away from home.

Information Krysia S. would like to know about your pet

How do they handle other dogs and strangers? - Any medical conditions, incontinence, or medications needed? - Any specific dietary needs, allergies? - Any mobility issues or activity restrictions? - How do you manage undesirable behaviors like barking or chewing? This information will help ensure your dog has a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.

A typical day

A typical day spent with a dog in my care is packed with fun and adventure, ensuring both enjoyment and a good night's sleep for your furry friend! Here's how we spend our day: We start the morning off right with a nutritious breakfast followed by a little downtime to let the food settle. Once digestion is done, it’s time for the first big adventure of the day—a long walk! Depending on the day, we might explore the winding trails of Indepence Oak Park, or the quiet roads in the neighbourhood. In the afternoon, after a bit of rest, we keep the excitement going with a stroll through the neighborhood. This is a great time for your dog to sniff around, meet some local furry friends, and just enjoy being out and about. Each outing is a new opportunity to discover something exciting, ensuring your dog is happily tired by the time we get home. These activities are not just fun; they also stimulate your dog both mentally and physically, making sure they are content and well-cared for throughout the day!

Ultimate Dog Retreat

Pet care experience

With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I bring a unique blend of skills and dedication to pet care. My home, with a fenced backyard is in a quiet country subdivision and walking distance to forest trails, provides an ideal environment for your pet. What sets me apart from other caregivers is my comprehensive approach to pet care, from training and socializing to medical care and personalized attention. Whether it's administering subcutaneous fluids or providing a safe and stimulating environment, I am committed to the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care. With no children or other animals in the house, I prefer to focus on a maximum of two animals at a time, ensuring they receive the undivided attention and care they deserve. To keep things peaceful for my household, I’m best suited for dogs, who are medium to low energy and not prone to excessive jumping or anxious barking. My expertise extends to training puppies, where I quickly nip bad behaviors like counter surfing and begging. What sets me apart from other caregivers is my comprehensive approach to pet care, from training and socializing to medical care and personalized attention. Whether it's administering subcutaneous fluids or providing a safe and stimulating environment, I am committed to the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care. My journey with dogs began with my beloved Golden Retriever, who I trained as a therapy dog. This enriching experience allowed us to bring joy to stressed-out students during exam time or to celebrate successes in business offices. My second dog, Misha, was a black Flat-Coated Retriever mix whom I adopted from Lab Rescue. Misha came from the streets of Egypt and bravely survived cancer. Tragically, he crossed the 'Rainbow Bridge' at just 4 years old, leaving a lasting impact on my heart.

Krysia was amazing with our dogs. She gave us daily updates and took such great care of Ralph and Fifi while we were away. It was clear they were happy and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing they were in great hands.

Our boy Chance is a rescue dog with some quirks and anxieties, but Krysia did a great job with him. She was really understanding and accommodating. Chance was spoiled and we look forward to his next visit!

Krysia was amazing with Webster. From the moment we pulled up she greeted him with a warm smile and open arms. It was obvious she knew how to comfort dogs and made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. She updated us as needed and sent some great pics. We would highly recommend her.
