I've grown up with many family dogs/ cats throughout the years. I currently have two cats that I spoil everyday, Finn and Toby. They love cuddles, cat nip toys, fuzzy blankets, and meal time. I have experience in hand raising a newborn kitten, requiring frequent feedings, toileting, medication administration, and monitoring. He is now thriving and living his best little life with his new owner! I cannot imagine a household without a furry friend to come home to. Loving on, cuddling, and caring for animals is an absolute joy to me!

I am an early riser and lucky enough to have the flexibility in my work schedule/ personal life - availability for bathroom breaks/ walks whenever necessary.

Apartment is puppy proofed to the best of my ability. All cleaning supplies and food are locked away safe. No (real) plants within reach. Approximately 500 sq indoor space + 200 sq fenced in private terrace. This allows for safe and supervised outdoor playtime.

You are welcome to bring your dog's own food/ water bowls, toys, blankets, etc. Whatever items make your dog/ you feel most comfortable. However, I do also provide, should you wish: food/ water bowls, toys, and cozy blankets.

*Please provide appropriate leash, harness, crate – whatever your dog uses on a daily basis.

I understand how unnerving it can be leaving your beloved dog with someone new. Therefore, I am happy to update often with pictures, videos, text messages, and/ or detailed daily stories; whatever helps you feel most at ease while away.

A typical day includes: multiple walks throughout the day – longer walks at both morning and evening, trail walks along the Ottawa river, nearby park adventures, and walks throughout quiet neighborhood side streets. Please feel free to provide your dog's specific schedule; I will try to adhere to it as much as possible, in order to ensure a seamless transition.

Trust that your doggo will be happily tired when they arrive back home, as the fun just doesn’t stop! … And why should it?! They’re on vacation too! :)
