I was born and raised with Many Dogs (Born in Sabah, Borneo Island, East Malaysia). I came to Canada for my post-secondary studies (graduated with two graduate degrees from Canadian Universities) and married with two sons. We adopted two dogs more than 14 years ago so that the kids get to socialize with dogs (many benefits of having pets).
One dog has passed away. Only the big dog is still with us (3 years old, she is a German Shepherd and Poodle mixed, female, not spayed). Based on my experience, it is not easy to find dog sitters for big/giant dogs. Most sitters prefer small or medium dogs/cars (small breed is more popular). If you have big/giant dogs, I am sure you understand what I meant (not easy to find sitters and more expensive). That’s why I offer my help to care for big/giant dogs. Why do I offer $30-35 per day/night? I am helping families who are not able to find care for their big/giant dogs (part-time only). Nevertheless, small dogs are welcome 🤗

Première expérience avec Sarah et je suis vraiment satisfaite! Elle m’a accommodée et je lui suis très reconnaissante. Betty a pris une belle grande marche et j’ai plusieurs photos durant la journée décrivant les activités. Ça paraît qu’elle aime les chiens! Je n’hésiterais pas à prendre de nouveaux ses services.
