Hello! PLEASE NOTE I have blocked off Dates from September 23 for 2 weeks. I have to have surgery. I will respond to messages when I am available. Thanks for your understanding Dawn : I mainly service inner city areas. Killarney, Glamorgan, Bankview, Mission, Parkdale,Bridgeland, Hillhurst etc. if my schedule allows I will service areas that are further away. Due to gas prices and my time; charges will apply. Please feel free to inquire. ***new and existing clients my rates have changed for stat holidays*** please find the changes at the bottom of my profile. Thank you My name is Dawn. I am an avid animal lover and have been training and caring for animals for over 40 years. I would love to have my own dog...but I also love to travel...so walking and caring for your pets is the best of both worlds! I am flexible, reliable and work very hard with my existing clients on their training reinforcement, or any issues they may have. I believe in working with the owners as well as their pets to give the animals in your life the very best “consistent” care. My philosophy when working with all species is to always treat animals with calmness, respect and love. I have many repeat customers..and can easily fit in last minute walk‘s or cat checks because “life happens”. I spend a month every year in Mexico spending time with animal rescues there. Mexico has always felt like “home” to me. I am a foodie and spent 16 years in the wine business...I have lived all over the world... and definitely have the travel bug. I live with 3 Sphinx; (aka "the nudist colony") they are my heart and bring me so much joy. Due to the nature of this breed; I am not able to stay in my clients home away from my boys. They are more dog like and do not do well being left alone. ***Please note. Due to very strong feelings I will no longer care for outdoor cats**** **********STATUTORY HOLIDAYS************** ~For stat holidays twice the regular rate will be charged. For example 1 check in a day will have to be booked as 2. ~But I will only visiting once a day. ~Existing twice a day clients that REQUIRE MEDS please message me for availability. ~For new 2X a day clients on stat holidays I will only be accepting once a day check ins. ~Please feel free to message me should 2 check ins be required or if you have any questions Thank you
