We had an excellent experience with Marie-Christine. She was super kind, knowledgeable, responsible, super easy to reach and communicate. We felt her care and competence right from the first minute. We highly recommend!

Marie-Christine a été super avec notre chien Boston Terrier Bruno. Elle l'a bien gaté pendant la semaine de nos vacances. Elle a une vibe de "go with the flow" ce qui la rend accueillante et rassurante. C'etait notre premiere fois et nous étions stressés de savoir comment Bruno allait se comporter mais Marie-Christine ne s'est pas laissé stresser par les maivaises habitudes de notre chien (ex. Marquage). De plus, le feedback de Marie-Christine m'a permis de voir notre chien d'un autre oeil. Par exemple, nous nous sommes souvent empêché de le laisser marcher sans laisse. Nous avons donc été surpris d'apprendre, qu'en randonnée à la campagne, il a écouté le "rappel" sans problème. Elle l'a même amener faire du magasinage avec elle au CanTire et il s'est fait donner des gateries par les caissières. Bruno avait l'air bien dans son environement lorsque je suis allée le chercher à la fin de son séjour. Il y retournera sans dout.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will receive leashed walks around my neighborhood. I have a yard for playtime but it is unfenced. I also have a secluded farm field a few minutes away where I take the pups to run around and play. And I have a calm, friendly Australian cattle dog / chihuahua mix named Tata who loves company. Generally, I only watch one dog at a time, however occasionally I will take 2 if they're from the same family or I know they will be a good fit together.

Pets

A typical day

In addition to morning, noon and night sniff walks (15-20 minutes), your pup will receive in between pee breaks outside. We also have playtime indoors (we have a variety of balls, tug toys and plushies), and outdoors in the yard, dog park (if it's OK) or my farm field.

If your dog has separation anxiety, resource guarding, food aggression or other issues, please let me know. I am experienced and comfortable in handling these issues but it's always good to know as much as possible to keep things safe and prepare for their stay.
