Dogs like people do the absolute best when they have a routine, a change to that can be really difficult for even the most stoic of canines! You care about your pet and want to disrupt their day to day as little as possible, so allow me to help!
My name is Shane; I'm 30 years old, I'm joined a few times a week by my canine counterpart Baxter, a 4 year old Bernese X rescue who has lived with me
for 3.5 years.
What I like to think makes myself, and my services, stand out is the level of care I can provide your pet, and the comfort that gives you; knowing your loved one is being loved! I
Myself and My Experience: Dogs have always been in my life, my family has had both big and small dogs, some from puppies, others adopted, so I am experienced with a variety of sizes and breeds from different environments. I also worked at a small dog day care, which allowed me to gain experience working with large groups of dogs, various temperaments, and breeds; I am also well versed in administering oral medication, and caring for post-surgical pets.
My Apartment and Neighbourhood: An older but very well kept 8 unit character hotel on Ogden Road SE! What my apartment lacks in size (Appr. 450sq ft. with most of the space made available) it makes up for in accessibility and comfort! My kitchen is tile, living and bed rooms are hardwood flooring. Please see photos for best idea, but it is very open, safe for your pup (Baxter approved!), I will discourage/shoo them off the bed if they get up there but the couch is dog friendly! Extensive room on the bedroom floor if your pet likes to sleep closely to someone during an overnight stay,
The backyard is a great size for your basic sniffing and personal needs, for more active pursuits there are several large leashed parks within walking distance as well as Jack Setters park (Off-leash!), and I'm more than happy to spend some time playing any favorite games your pup might have!
To confirm how pet friendly my place is; my landlord (Who lives onsite) also owns and runs Dexter's Pet Shop (http://www.dexterspetshop.ca/) which is located directly across the street for ease of access to treats! As I mentioned, my dog stays with me only part of the week, and as I'm not currently in a position to get another dog, I can offer that service to you, and I would very much love to look after your animal companion!
Thank you for your time and patience, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s), please do not hesitate with any questions!
