Pet care experience

Love to take care of your pet

I have had all sort of pets in my life: dogs, birds, turtles, rabbits, cats, etc. The last pet my family had was a German Sheppard that we had for 16 years. I adored him. I would love to take care of your dog or cat in my house or yours. I live in a penthouse downtown Toronto. My place has two terraces and large windows that give a lot of light to the apartment. I love animals and taking care of your pet will be my priority during their stay with me. I walk dogs three times a day unless I receive different instructions. It is adjacent to Stanley park, and both Bellwood park and Fort York park are less than five minutes away. So if your dog needs long walks to burn some energy, these are great places to take your pouch. Let me know what are the food/medication needs of your pet and I will make sure to accommodate them. I know it can be hard to leave your pet with somebody and I will do my best to put your mind at easy that your pet will be well taken care. I will send you photos and regular updates so that you can enjoy your time away.

Maria Grazia took excellent care of my dog Athena while I was away for a week. She provided consistent daily updates with photos, which gave me real peace of mind. Athena got plenty of walks and exercise, and when I returned, she was happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. I would absolutely trust Maria Grazia again and highly recommend her.

Always a great experience for our dog. Ollie gets along very well with Maria's dog Cadbury as well. Whenever we go out of town we leave our dog with Maria. Would highly recommend

Our dog Ollie had such a great time we decided to extend his trip with Maria by an additional 4 days! We will definitely reach out to Maria again if we need a sitter.

Grazia was great at caring for my pup over the weekend! They went on so many walks, and I got very regular updates throughout the day. She came home tired and very happy!

Safety, trust & environment

My has a fenced backyard where your pet can safely roam. There is a park behind my building which is ideal for dogs since it has an off leash fenced area as well as a leashed area.. I do not have a crate so if you like your pet to be crated at night, you will need to bring your crate. I usually let the pet roam freely in the house.If I take care of your pet in your home, feel confident that your house will be kept safe and clean.

Pets

A typical day

Since I work from home I will be able to spend a lot lot of time with your pet and give them all the attention and care they need. I have three parks less than five minutes from my building so I can provide your dog with a lot of exercise and socialization. You will receive regular updates from me about your pet to lkeep your mind at ease about their well being.

I can take care of pets of any age, from very young to senior ones.Let me know if your dog or cat has any special need or dietary restrictions. My favourite breeds of dogs are German Sheppard, Siberian Huskies Golden Retrievers. I do not have a favourite cat’s breed. Anyway I love all dogs and cats and they always love to spend time in my care. . I accept only dogs that are not aggressive and are well behaved. The pet must be up- to- date in their shots, unless it is a puppy.
