I am a stay-at-home mom who has been dog sitting for many years. I have met some wonderful dogs, but I would love to add a few new pups to our "pack".

We welcome one small dog (15 lbs or smaller) at a time into our home. We are available for daytime playdates or overnight stays (up to five nights).

My main assistant, Shadow, is a 9 year old shihpoo who is always happy to greet visitors and is a dedicated supervisor during playdates, eager to show her new friends around our home and especially our backyard. My husband works from home most days, so there is always someone with the dogs, even if I need to step out for some reason. We have two teenagers, aged fourteen and eighteen, who enjoy playing and snuggling with all dogs.

Our house is located in Kanata (Katimavik) and is easy to get to from the 417. It is a single home with a fully fenced yard. Dogs can spend as much time as they want outside. We have a ramp for the deck, if your dog has trouble with stairs. 

We go on at least two walks a day (though if your dog prefers to stay at home with me, someone else will walk Shadow). There are a few parks nearby that we visit, but the dogs are always on leash.

We spend most of our time on the main floor of the house, which has a living room, dining room and kitchen/den. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and we have a few dog beds that they can sleep on.

I have experience administering medication when necessary and have cared for a blind dog and a couple of lovely elderly ladies.
