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 🤗

Book Early for a private home or personalized care.

Dog Boarding: one dog at a time unless they are from the same family. More personalized care.

Dog Day Care: two dogs at a time.

Where to sleep: Your pets/dogs will sleep/rest in the living room or the cage (options: open door or close door). See the pictures enclosed.  Our House rules: No pets on the bed or sofa/couch.

Where to play: a) I have a big fenced backyard with lots of shade or trees; b) Walk in Gatineau Park (minimum walk is 45 minutes, max is 3 hours); c) Dog Park (if you prefer).

Requirements: Potty Trained & House-trained, Vaccine Updates especially Rabies Vaccine & tick control, etc (if any, if no, just let me know your approach). Any allergies or food allergies? Will your dogs pull the leash during a walk but are easily controlled after command? Do you give human food to your dogs? If yes, what kind?

For overnights (dog boarding) - clean/shower/bath before boarding. Is your pet trained to sleep in the living room or a crate (when younger)? Must provide Emergency Contact for Dog Boarding. Must meet first to see the fit.

Bring your dogs’ food, treats, food tray, water bowl, toys, bed, blanket, towel (to clean dirt or rain), hair comb, collar, leash, poop bags, daily habits/routine, weird behaviour to pay attention to. 

Checkin & checkout time: before 7:00 pm.

I will provide daily updates - 2x per day at the minimum.

**Special note: Before contacting me, Gentle reminder to read - The sitter profile - Services - Pet Preferences. I value punctuality. Late pickup will be charged $2/hour (by the hour). For dog boarding, it is based on 24 hours care.

Formal Dog Training Experience: I trained my dogs at Petsmart and K9 Training Institute. I am still a member of the K9 Training Institute.

If overnights: will require emergency contact numbers of your family members/friends/vet clinic in case of emergency. Vet contact and address will also required.

I have my vehicle. I will send you daily updates about your dogs (with pictures) because I understand you care about your dogs.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or inquiries. Do not hesitate to let me know your requests.

I know you love your dogs. I love dogs too. ❤️❤️😘🤗.  Hope to meet your furry cute friends!! ♥️😘🤗
