Information Nadia M. would like to know about your pet

Please make me aware of any special needs or accommodation. Your pup might need. My preference would be lower energy dogs and a little slower paced pups in my own home but definitely more than willing to take on the challenge of a more energetic dog! I do not have a kennel/create but am willing to to transport your pups to my place if needed!

A typical day

I love to go for long walks thought my neighborhood as well as going to parks like Brookside ledges, and in general walking trails! I love doing sent work as well as puzzle toys with pups! I also really enjoy working on basic obedience training as well as leash manners! But most of all I love all the snuggles and cuddles from all the pups! A lazy day is my favorite day 🤷‍♀️

Pet care experience

I am professional pet boarding, dog CPR certified! Pack pro certified for CPR and first aid as well as a few other certifications through pack pro! I have always loved animals. I currently work as a manager at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. Where I have worked for the past two years. I’ve done bathing. I’ve done daycare groups. I’ve done day school, which includes minor obedience, training and agility courses. Being a manager i’ve administered many meds pills, eye drops, eardrops, liquid medicine, insulin as well as all types of wipes/balms! So I am more than comfortable with disabled, senior and just a little silly/wonky pups! I really just love all kinds of pups!

Thank you for taking care of Harry. He seemed to be doing good and had a happy spring break.

My dog was happy to be home but she made the most of her stay with Nadia. She, apparently, didn't sleep well while she was there but then she never does when she's not home. I say that because she went straight to bed and slept through the night.
