WE LOVE SMALL OLDER DOGS TOO !!!

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. Our 14 yr old mini dachshund passed away recently. We miss her daily. 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 her husband took very good care of our dog Rosie while we were gone! They made her feel at home and gave her lots of love! I would recommend Maggie and her husband to anyone :)

This was our first time leaving Parker with Maggie, and we are very pleased we did. We had early communication with her during the Winter then had a meet up in person back in April. We felt very comfortable right away and Parker took to her and Brian instantly. She was with them for two weeks and Maggie kept us well informed with a few pictures on how things were going. The one thing we really liked is that Parker was the only client. Having other dogs come and go during a two period was stressful for Parker in the past. We will definitely use Maggie again and highly recommend her for your fur baby!

We prefer to leash your baby when going outside for their business. Dog is allowed on furniture, or on our bed in some cases. On smaller dogs we prefer to have a harness if you have one for walks. Crate is used only if that is preferred when at your home.

Information Maggie P. would like to know about your pet

I prefer smaller dogs. If your dog is strong and pulls when outside I cant walk him. About 30 lb is favoured.This leads to my husband having to do all of the heavy work. I like to know yr babies sleeping habits. Also any health issues they might have. Mini dachshunds, shih tzu, yorkies, poodles, or frenchies, up to about the size of a cocker spanial, plus other smaller size breeds are preferred. Extended stays are acceptable. We have boarded fur-babies for up to 3 week visits. Short notice is usually okay also. I wld like phone number, your email, your cell phone where you can be contacted. I know yr furry friend will enjoy a stay with my hubby and I. At our Home Away from Your Home.

A typical day

Fun games + walks outside + ball + squeeky toss indoors. Walks in my quiet neighbourhood, or the green areas in good weather, playtime, large lawn space for a good play, meal time can remain at same times you have at home. I am retired so I'm with the pet a lot of the time, we are being Covid careful. Short trips occasionlly is about my limit for going out. I don't prefer to crate yr dog unless it is used to this at yr home?. Allowed on furniture, in some cases sleeping on the bed.
