Melissa has always LOVED dogs and grew up with a cockapoo named Buffy who lived for 17 years. If you invite her to a BBQ, you'll find her hanging out with all the dogs. She has also dogsat for friends for a number of years. Julian is also an animal lover who grew up with two cats. He has since become a doggie magnet. All the pups we have cared for stick to him like glue. In the past we've taken care of a golden-doodle, golden retriever, pomeranian, boston terrier, frenchie, pug, lab, beagle, husky, and a few mixed breeds. We have a soft spot for senior dogs, labs, huskies, golden retrievers, and sheep dogs. They're just so sweet! Doggie daycare includes two 30min walks per day and lots of belly rubs. We often go on the Beltline trail, Oriole Park, Eglinton Park, or Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Our home is the perfect place for your dog to relax! Please message us a few days ahead of your dogsitting needs. We'll set up a Meet & Greet so we can get to know you and your dog. We both work from home during the week and also have flexible work schedules so we have plenty of time to care for your dog. We live on the 2nd floor of a house. We don't have a backyard but there's a park across the street. Our spacious home has lots of room for a dog crate or bed. We have a trusty blanket to put on our couch so your dog can lounge there too. Important: there is a staircase up to our apartment. Unfortunately we can’t take large dogs that can’t handle stairs. In the case of small dogs that can't handle stairs we can carry them up. We have dog dishes, blankets, towels, a leash, and poop bags. On walks we carry a portable doggie dish and water bottle. So important on hot days!
