Dogs must keep owners on a leash ;)

Pet care experience

Almost a year ago now, I adopted a dog that I met and cared for through Rover. He is a fixed, fun-loving Shepherd mix that gets along with dogs and knows how to read their behaviour and adjusts himself accordingly. Due to unforeseen circumstances, his owner had to rehome and he thought of me instantly as Boof never wanted to leave when he came to pick him up. I was honoured and after a couple trial runs with Boof, I decided to adopt him! I also had miniature dachshunds growing up so I am familiar with small dogs and my sister currently has 8, yes 8 dogs! From wiener dogs to St. Bernard's so I am very comfortable with all breeds. I have helped her through two large litters of St Bernard/Greater Swiss Mountain dog puppies (see my pictures). We have a large fully fenced yard and there are also a couple dog parks only a short walk away or a quick drive to Mt. Doug or the UVic dog park. I will exercise your dog as much or as little as you would like!

I can't express my thanks enough to Melissa for taking Calli on short notice! I dd not hesitate to contact Melissa as she has always treated Calli so well and I know Calli is more than comfortable at her place. As soon as Melissa came to pick her up, Calli jumped right in her car - almost as if to say: 'It's been too long, glad to see you!' I will definitely call on Melissa again for my future boarding needs!

We were very happy with Melissa's care for our Golden retriever puppy Sasha. She was very flexible with her time and responded quickly to our enquiries. We would definately leave Sasha with her again because she seemed to have had a wonderful time.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

No preference on breeds, I love all kinds as long as your dog gets along with other dogs and is okay left unsupervised with my dog during the week days. I work 2 min from my house so I come home for an hour lunch each day. I do have a doggy camera to check up on them when I am out of the house.

A typical day

Walks to the local dog parks, hiking adventures up and around Mt. Doug and Mt. Work, swims at Mt. Doug beach and Thetis Lake, and my favourite is taking them shopping at Canadian Tire!!
