I’d love to connect with your dog first before I bring Pike for him to steal my thunder 😆 Depending your preference, for M&G, we can walk our dogs together for quick 5 mins. I’d like to spend some time with your dog first - please bring some treats so I can “bribe” lol then I will have Pike meet your dog to see if it would be a good fit. On the first day, I will spend 10 to 15mins with your dog first before I introduce him/her to the fur friend 😆

Safety, trust & environment
With 12-acre land, we do not have fenced area. However I do supervise my dog whenever he's out there, and he has perfect recalls. I have a 40-feet long leash available if your pup does not respond to "come" command perfectly, so he/she will be leashed outside with lots of space to explore.

Information Shirley M. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if the dog is house trained or not; crate trained or not; any allergies; any reactions towards anything/anyone; if there are commands they learned I would love to know as well
A typical day
Pike would probably outplay any dogs on this planet, however I will ensure cool down periods and “no play” times are given. I have two crates (42" & 48") and two play pens ready to separate the dogs for taking a break/feeding etc. For dogs that don’t want to engage with Pike, I will keep them separated and I will play with the dog (tug, fetch or just belly rub lmao). For dogs to be walked on leash, I won’t let my client dog engage with any other dogs on the walk.

Pet care experience
I work 100% from home running my coaching business, which means your pup will always have plenty of attention and care. I started dog sitting on Rover in 2023 while living in Oakville, where I proudly cared for over 50 happy clients—all leaving 5-star reviews. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I do provide tons of photos and videos - please let me know if you wish to receive less frequent updates. Now, I live on a beautiful 12-acre property in South River, ON, which offers plenty of space for dogs to safely explore and enjoy nature. **** All outside time is supervised by me, including my own pup. **** If you do not want your dog to be off-leash on my property, I will leash walk your pup. I have flexibilities and am available most the days and weeks as long as they are scheduled in my calendar. Usually I am able to accommodate change of plan within 4-hour window.
