Fur mama looking to extend the love

Pet care experience

****Prices have changed as of April 1st! I now run a dog daycare in Whitehorse and matching the prices so they are the same. Monday to Friday with your permission (and if you pick me) they come to daycare to meet the crew. If you would like more information please go onto Facebook and look up Sparkles and Lint Doggy Daycare. I have been on Rover now since 2021 and have looked after several hundred dogs. My partner Lukasz and I have looked after service dogs, dogs with disabilities (blind, tri-pawed) and even got to hang out with a cat or two. What brought us to the site was my love of animals and we have had our own Labrador for just over 6 years and he has definitely become part of the family. I’ve seen the high drive puppy stage (and survived), the teenage years and I have been fortunate to learn a lot through dog training classes although I am not a trainer, the experiences have taught me a lot! We walk in the morning, go to daycare Monday to Friday where this is constant supervision and even the most excitable dog will come back a little more mellow, walk after dinner and one more walk before bed. Exercise and engagement won't be an issue with us. We are very patient and will most definitely treat your 4 legged friend as if he or she were ours. So please let us know your specifications, we let dogs on the bed (when there is space) and on the couch but if this is something you are not comfortable with, please let us know. We do ask that any of our dogs come with a full history of vaccinations that are up to date and the owners are comfortable sharing that information with us.

Louise jumped to action when I needed short notice/urgent help and was so sweet and generous about it. She provided excellent care and my pets loved her. I highly recommend Louise!

Our dog Annie had a great experience at Louise’s for a weeks when we were away! We hope to use her services again and highly recommend her.

We were beyond happy with the care and love that Louise showed our timid dog Spruce. She helped him feel comfortable and part of the pack with the other dogs in her care, and part of her family. He was a very happy dog when we picked him up and I think he even missed the pack a little! Thank you Louise for the attention and love you showed our dog! We would definitely have Spruce stay with Louise again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a trail to the forest at my back garden. I do not have a fenced yard but dogs do not go outside unattended. We prefer having dogs crated in our absence but we do work with fur parents who leave their dogs loose and work on strategies to keep everyone safe. They are treated just like our dog (our dog is crated) and we let them on the sofa, we try to not let them on the bed. There isn't much space when you have a dog or two on the bed but they get to hang out wherever we are.

Information Louise G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies. It would also be great to know how their recall is when we go on walks. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety or struggles with other dogs, that's really important to let us know. As your dog will be around others let us know if there are any resource guarding things we need to know too.

A typical day

We are extremely fortunate to have the Porter Creek forest as our backyard. There are many trails we go along, in the Summer we go for hikes and have gone as far as the Sam McGee trail.
