Your pup will be treated like family! I have always been an animal lover and have treated all animals with kindness and compassion. I grew up with dogs (and a variety of other pets) and understand the commitment involved in taking good care of your beloved pet. I love watching Cesar Milan and know that rules, boundaries and limitations are also a key part of making a dog feel at ease. That being said, I'm quite a softy so there are generally very few rules as far as the house goes! :) My yard is completely fenced with lots of room to play. I own my home so your pup will have the run of the house. They can sleep wherever they choose and will always get plenty of time outdoors ( if they would like). I currently own a chihuahua that stays part time with his grandparents. While dogsitting, however, it will generally just be me and your dog/dogs. I will not take more than 1 reservation so that the dogs do not feel overwhelmed by others (unless they are from the same family). I love walking and will take your pup for as many walks as you would like. I live near confederation park so green space is abundant. My job is very flexible so while dog sitting I will always be at home and with your dog for the entire duration. I know that calmness and kindness are key to reassuring your pup and allowing them to feel happy and comfortable. Boarding can be stressful for animals and parents and I assure you that I will do everything I can to make the experience a joyous and pleasant one. Looking forward to caring for your beloved pup! Sincerely, Jackie
