I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard but I live near walking paths and dog parks that I can bring your dog to if they like that. I will work with each individual dogs schedule. If you are working on any specific training (tricks, walking, crate, etc.) let me know as I would be happy to assist and work on that training too while they’re in my care.

Information Shania G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special care needs or behaviour issues ahead of time so I can be prepared to provide your pet with the best care possible

A typical day

I have many puzzles and toys to keep dogs entertained and cat towers/tunnels and toys to keep cats entertained. I am close to dog parks and walking trails to tire out puppies and dogs and allow them some socialization time. I can work on training with them as well if you have any specific tricks or things you’re working on - I have trained both my cat and dogs to do many different tricks

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. Starting with all my family pets growing up (dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) I am a big animal lover. I will treat every animal like my own. I have 3 of my own pets; my cat Milo who I’ve had for 9 years, my dog Chico and my dog Rolo, both are just over a year old. Chico is leash reactive on walks so I have lots of experience working through that reactivity and keeping dogs calm and comfortable
