Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover who has always had a special place in my heart for dogs. To me, dogs are more than just pets; they are family members who deserve love, patience, kindness and respect. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and caring for them as if they were my own. My love for dogs started when I was a child. My very first dog was the same age as me, and she became my best friend. Growing up together taught me the importance of treating dogs with gentleness, understanding and respect. During my teenage years in Taiwan, my family had three Shih Tzus, one Pekingese and one Maltese. After moving to Canada, we brought our Maltese with us and later welcomed a Boston Terrier and a Chihuahua into our family. Over the years, I have experienced the joys and challenges of caring for dogs through every stage of life. Two of my dogs, a Maltese and a Boston Terrier, experienced critical illnesses, and I dedicated countless hours to their medical care and treatments. My Boston Terrier was diagnosed with meningitis, which was truly an especially challenging experience. These experiences taught me how important patience, attentiveness and commitment are when a dog needs extra care and support. My last dog was a beloved Chihuahua who passed away on November 14th, 2025, at the wonderful age of 18. I cared for him with all my heart throughout his life, paying close attention to his diet, daily exercise, comfort and changing needs as he grew older. Looking after him through his senior years was a very special experience and taught me even more about the love, patience and dedication older dogs deserve. Although I haven't worked professionally in pet care, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs throughout my life. I've also looked after friends' and family members' dogs while they were away on vacation or travelling. I understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable and reassured knowing their beloved companions are in safe, caring hands. I offer dog walking, home visits, house-sitting, doggy daycare, and overnight boarding. Whether your dog needs a refreshing walk, companionship and playtime during the day, or a comfortable place to stay overnight, I will do my best to make them feel happy, safe and loved. I am happy to follow your dog's usual routine, feeding schedule and individual needs. I live in a single-family house with no children or other pets, so your dog can enjoy a calm and peaceful environment. We also have a fenced, secure backyard with easy access for outdoor play and bathroom breaks. I work from home most days, which means I can provide plenty of companionship and supervision. I am also happy to accommodate dogs who experience separation anxiety, provided their individual needs can be met. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, particularly small to medium-sized dogs. My preference is for friendly, house-trained dogs who are comfortable around people. For everyone's safety and well-being, I may not be the right sitter for dogs with aggressive behaviours. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, secure and at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I would treat that responsibility with the same love, attention and dedication I have always given my own dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️
