Dog lover. Husky owner. PhD student

Pet care experience

I've always loved dogs. Each one if my family members now has their own, including mine, Kira. I worked at the Canadian Kennel Club and I'm now attending McMaster University to get my PhD. A dog is a great way to get out for a few minutes and forget about the stresses of life, and the affection they can return is unparalleled. I hope to get a few regulars and get to know your friends as well as you do. If you have an active dog, I love going for runs with mine. We'll start with walks first though. I'm near some great trails to go on hikes, or there's a cemetery across the street for nice casual walks.

Stuart provided exceptional care for my dog during our recent boarding experience. His friendly demeanor and frequent updates gave me peace of mind. His dog, Kira, was a calm and lovable companion for my pet. Stuart’s attentive service and the warm, welcoming environment he provided truly stood out. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Information Stuart A. would like to know about your pet

Are they loud? How much walking do they expect and how often? Are they comfortable in an apartment? What toys do they like to play with? Are they good with other dogs or people?

A typical day

This depends on the dog. My parents' dog loves to play tug at certain times of day, whereas mine hardly plays at all, she just wants to walk. Easy walks in the nearby cemetery or Ainsley Wood neighbourhoods. Longer, more intense walks along Bruce Trail and Dundas Valley Conservation Area.

Either I'm home to care for my own dog, or I make regular trips home from Mac. I wouldn't leave a strange dog home alone, though. Most of my work can be done remotely and walks work as nice breaks.
