Bonjour Marie-Christine, Merci d'avoir accueilli notre chien pendant nos vacances. Ta gentillesse, ta bienveillance envers les animaux et ta connaissance évidente de leur comportement sont vraiment appréciables. Je tiens cependant à partager deux points pour aider d'autres propriétaires à faire leur choix en toute connaissance de cause. À mon arrivée, j'ai découvert la présence de deux chiens supplémentaires en plus du tien. Ça faisait donc quatre chiens au total dans l'appartement avec le mien (un Bouvier Bernois), ce dont je n'avais pas été informée au préalable. Or, ton profil Rover indique généralement que tu acceptes un ou deux chiens maximum s'ils sont de la même famille. Je ne sais pas s'il ne s'agissait pas d'une situation exceptionnelle, mais pour des propriétaires dont le chien a des besoins spécifiques en matière de socialisation ou de calme, ou simplement pour la sécurité, il est essentiel de connaître le nombre exact d'animaux présents avant la réservation. Concernant la communication, j'avais activé l'option de mises à jour quotidiennes sur Rover. Avec tous les autres gardiens que j'ai utilisés sur la plateforme, je recevais des nouvelles et des photos chaque jour, spontanément, sans avoir à le demander. Cette fois, je n'ai reçu aucune nouvelle de sa part de façon spontanée, et j'ai dû la relancer trois fois durant la semaine pour avoir des photos et des nouvelles de mon chien. Ces points ne dérangeront pas tous les propriétaires, certains seront tout à fait à l'aise avec plusieurs chiens dans l'espace et une communication plus espacée. Je les partage, car c'est le genre d'informations que j'aurais aimé avoir avant de faire ma réservation. J'espère qu'elles aideront d'autres propriétaires à faire un choix éclairé.

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!

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.

Marie-Christine can host up to 2 pets per night
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.
