Hi there! I’m a 55-year-old chiropractor and lifelong dog lover newly settled in Toronto. Since I don't currently have a pup of my own, I would absolutely love to house-sit and care for yours right in the comfort of their own familiar home. Bonus for them: I am a part-time stand-up comedian, so your dog will get exclusive front-row seats to me practicing my material. I promise to keep the treats flowing, even if they don't laugh at my jokes!
Please note that I specialize exclusively in overnight, in-home pet sitting to provide dedicated, round-the-clock companionship.
I do not offer standalone dog walking.
I do not offer quick drop-in home visits.
Expert Hands
Your pet will be in exceptionally safe, expert hands. I have 10 years of in-home pet sitting experience, but my resume gets even better:
Shelter Expert: I volunteered heavily at the Ottawa Humane Society as a dedicated dog walker and assistant canine assessor. This intensive experience gave me a deep, practical understanding of dogs of all ages and complex behavioural needs, including those managing reactivity or aggression. They are tough critics, but I know how to win them over!
Animal Chiropractor: My past background in Vancouver as an animal chiropractor gives me unique, expert insight into canine health, subtle body language, and physical comfort. I can spot a stiff joint or a subtle mood shift instantly.
Routine, Safety, and Availability
Because I am staying right in your home, my priority is maintaining continuity for your pup. To the best of my abilities,
I follow your established household routines.
I stick to your preferred feeding schedules.
I walk your dog exclusively in their own familiar neighbourhood.
I work reduced hours, ensuring your beloved pet is never left alone for more than five hours maximum.
My Neighbourhoods
I primarily serve these local West Toronto spots and everywhere in-between:
The Junction
High Park
Bloor West Village
Carleton Village
All Pups Welcome!
I happily welcome dogs of every age, shape, and size. Whether your pup thrives on long, structured neighborhood walks, energetic games of fetch, or specialized behavioral pacing, I tailor the entire day to whatever they enjoy and need most.
I can’t wait to meet your wonderful pup, test out my latest comedy set on them, and give you total peace of mind while you are away!
