Pet care experience

WE ARE DOG LOVERS, OFFERING HOME CARE FOR YOUR FUR-BUDDY We have always had dogs in our home. Our pet care experience is quite extensive. We have volunteered with 2 different dog rescue groups Cdn Dachshund Rescue + Tiny Paws Ontario over a 5 year period where we fostered and home boarded puppies, seniors and small dogs of all ages. This led us to offering home boarding and daycare for your baby. We are an active senior couple on a вυdget, which is нelped вy carιng ғor your ѕмall dogѕ. Being active retirees, we have time to offer attention and fun. Our home is to be enjoyed like your home. Daily walks and playtime are offered if your pet is interested or used to it. I don't use a crate unless that is what you prefer. Administration of meds or shots is vet approved. We are a smoke free, clean + well cared for home. Smaller dogs + seniors are our specialty. We would love to meet yours.

Maggie and Brian developed a real loving relationship with Max and he recognized it when we arrived. We had a carefree holiday knowing Maggie takes care of every need, walking, playing, loving, and companionship. Wonderful and reliable sitters!

Maggie was great with my toy poodle. My dog tends to be shy with strangers but with Maggie and Brian she was very comfortable with them and she even sat in their laps. My dog was constipated and she had loose stools and Maggie picked up some pumpkin to give to her to help my dog regulate her bowels. I was very happy with Maggie & Brian and felt that my dog was in good hands .
