Pet care experience

Dog whisperer

I think it is the connection I make with all doggies. I like to make sure they are very happy to be around me and that they have what ever they need. I adjust my actions to look after senior doggies or puppies and all in between.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Wayne! Our 5½ year old Golden Retriever, Reign, spent the day with him and had the absolute best time. She immediately felt comfortable with Wayne when we dropped her off, which gave us such peace of mind. Wayne kept in touch throughout the day with updates on how Reign was doing and even sent us some wonderful pictures. His beautiful property is the perfect place for dogs to relax, explore, and enjoy themselves, and the quiet road made it even better. We highly recommend Wayne to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog and make them feel right at home. Thank you, Wayne, for taking such great care of our Reign!

Our dog had a lovely few days with Wayne. Wayne has an amazing set up for dogs who love being outside. He was warm and welcoming and very flexible with pick up and drop off homes. Our pup came home very happy and tired from all the love and playing. We will definitely be using Wayne again.

Wayne was fantastic. I was a little nervous to leave my 5 month old puppy with someone while I did an art show in Bracebridge but Wayne put me at ease. Wayne was a great communicator and sent me pictures of how Maggie was doing. She was super excited to go back each day.

Wayne took awesome care of our Springer Spaniel, Desmond. From the moment they met, you could tell that Wayne is a dog-person. Desmond immediately took to him and when we left, Dessmond ran off with Wayne and didn't look back. The photos we received throughout the weekend showed Desmond having a huge amount of fun, and getting lots of care and love. He came home contented, tired and clean!! We would highly recommend Wayne and will definitely leave Desmond with him again.
