Pet care experience

Barks-n-Rec, Tail Wags Guaranteed!

Growing up with dogs, both my partner and I fostered an innate understanding and compassion towards them which are magnified by years of hands-on experience. Our background is particularly strong with high-drive dogs; we fully comprehend their exercise and mental stimulation needs in order to curb their energy into productive behavior. Besides, we're well-versed in basic obedience training. This means we'll not only care for your pets, but also assist in endorsing good habits and manners. Above all, every pet we care for gets treated with the same love, kindness, and respect that we give to our own.

Monica is amazing! Ginny had a great time during her stay. She is flexible, reliable, and professional. She kept us updated with pictures of Ginny, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend Monica for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!

Look no further, Monica was great! Our 8 year old Vizsla was very well taken care of and we'd leave him with Monica again in a heart beat. She was very responsive and quick to reply to any questions. We received daily updates with photos of our boy having a great time with her dog Obi, who is very sweet. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Monica was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! Piper and Obi got along so well and Monica sent pictures and/or videos everyday. Monica really put our minds at ease and we’re already planning on booking with her again when we go on our next trip.

Schedule

Working from home offers flexibility and ample time fo us to cater to your pet's needs without compromising our professional responsibilities. We ensure that both my own high-drive dog and the pets we care for receive the necessary attention, exercise, and mental stimulation throughout the day. A typical day starts with a morning walk, followed by periods of playtime and relaxation that are strategically spread throughout the day. Our dog, who has a high energy level, enjoys fetch games, thus providing a built-in companion and playmate for your pets, making their stay with me fun and interactive.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets enjoy a structured routine that includes meals, walks, playtime, rest, and, if needed, positive reinforcement training, thanks to my proximity to an off-leash dog park, a fenced backyard, and a baseball diamond. This environment offers them ample exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. When we care for pets in your homes, we stick to your established routine to minimize disruption and ensure their happiness. Through activities, preferred food, and toys, we deliver a service that mirrors the attention and love they receive at home.

A typical day

For long-duration stays, one of our favorite activities is to go hiking on the Bruce Trail. We greatly enjoy the scenic environment it provides and the new smells for the dogs. Additionally, there's a nearby baseball diamond and an off-leash dog park which we visit frequently for endless fun and exercise.
