Meet Lola! Although she warmed up to me right away, she will definitely let you know when she’s had enough loving 😝  her favourite toy so far has been her fluffy long string. 🫢 🐱 ❤️

Meet Eddie! He is literally the sweetest boy ever; he lays his head between your shoulder and head while you sleep and is a huge cuddle bug.
He is still learning to walk on a leash well so he’s excited when it comes off and he gets to go for a swim. 💦 🐶
I definitely don’t feel alone when he’s around.

“Would you interrupt or let it play out?”
I got this clip from a site in the states, but I thought it showed a good video of things to look out for and thought I’d share. (No sound as it’s slowed down to really see the reactions of the dogs).

Would YOU interrupt or let it play out?

How do we know when to interrupt dog play? What should we look for? In general (this is not a definitive list and will depend on the individual dogs)

🚩body slamming
🚩focussed bites (some breeds will mouth but if biting is taking place, the play should be ended)
🚩play is one sided all of the time – unbalanced chasing
🚩muzzle punching
🚩increased pilo er****on (raised hackles
🚩flattened ears or avoidance in one of the dogs
🚩biting or grabbing body parts
🚩barking at the other dog, especially in their faces
🚩becoming tense, stiff, or showing signs of fear (or aggression)
🚩closed mouth, curled lip, low warning growl (some dogs growl when playing but if accompanied by a closed mouth or retracted lips, interrupt now)
🚩wrestling or chasing each other for a prolonged time - without changing to another activity
🚩increased over arousal and escalation - play becomes faster or more intense

Did anyone notice the pilo er****on at the base of the staffies tail? physical contact is made in this clip and the interaction is pretty intense. They were called away and the trainer ended play.

If you are unsure, call your dog away – it is better to call them away and interrupt play unnecessarily than leave it until there is a problem!

Meet Dodo! 🐾

This old fella really loves to sleep.
He’s ‘categorized’ as a special needs dog, but he doesn’t let that stop him from living life to the fullest! He loves my cat so much and they enjoyed some plays.
He proves that you’re only as old as you act.

Hi there! My name is Keah Diemert, and this page is to offer pet services to my lovely community.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from us at Happy Tails! Please keep these safety tips in mind if you have pets around this Holiday Season 🐾 🎄

•Make sure your pet doesn’t have access to treats including those with xylitol, grapes/raisins, onions, chocolate, or other toxic foods.
•Keep your pets away from lit candles.
•Consider leaving the tinsel off the tree if you have a cat.
•Keep holiday plants including holly, poinsettias, mistletoe, and Lillie’s out of reach of your pets.
•Skip giving your dog bone scraps as they can easily splinter.
•If you’re going away & leaving your pet at a kennel/with someone you know, make sure you have an ID tag with your contact info on the collar.
•Leave your vets contact info, your contact info, and an emergency contact for anyone looking after your pets.
•Find out your vets holiday hours.
•Keep the animal poison control number in your phone (888-426-2235).
•Create an area in your home away from the chaos where your pet can go hide if needed.

Most of all, make sure you give your pets extra cuddles for me this Christmas!
Enjoy your time with your loved ones. ♥️

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 🐾

•ᗯᕼᗩT ᗪO YOᑌ ᗪO Iᑎ ᗩᑎ EᗰEᖇGEᑎᑕY?
If I believe an animal is exhibiting odd behaviours, I will always call the vet/emergency hospital to seek the best guidance possible. If the animals needs to see medical care, I will do so. Before accepting a new client, I ask them to provide their vets name and contact information, plus an emergency contact if I can’t reach you.

•ᗯᕼᗩT ᗩᖇE YOᑌᖇ ᕼOᑌᔕE ᖇᑌᒪEᔕ?
I prefer to follow the rules of each pets individual household rules. If you aren’t used to having your dog on the furniture, I will kept them off. I will never physically discipline an animal.

•ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ ᗰEET ᗯITᕼ ᗰE ᗩᑎᗪ ᗰY ᑭET ᗩᕼEᗩᗪ Oᖴ TIᗰE?
Yes, of course. I prefer to meet the pet ahead of time, especially if I am doing dog boarding at my own home. I like to know the pet feels safe and comfortable and that it’ll get along with my pets.

•ᗪO YOᑌ EᐯEᖇ ᔕEᑎᗪ ᑌᑭᗪᗩTEᔕ?
I quite enjoy sending daily updates, or every few days if it’s an extended period of time. I take lots of pictures of the pets and update owners with our activities and how they’ve been doing/settling in.

•ᗯᕼᗩT ᗪO YOᑌ ᑎEEᗪ ᖴᖇOᗰ ᑌᔕ? (TᕼE OᗯᑎEᖇᔕ)
During consultation, I will ask questions that will help me gain a better understanding of your pet and it’s needs. I can send you a list of things that would be helpful to have including treats (in case of allergies), pet food, bowls, leashes, collars, toys, blankets, bed, and anything else that will keep your pet as comfortable as possible.

•ᗯᕼᗩT KIᑎᗪ Oᖴ E᙭EᖇᑕIᔕE ᗪO YOᑌ ᑭᒪᗩᑎ Oᖴ GIᐯIᑎG ᗰY ᑭET?
Each pet is different and I’m happy to do whatever their normal routine is. If they walk everyday, then that’s what we’ll do. If they don’t like much exercise then I’m happy to wear them out by playing at home etc.

ᗪO YOᑌ ᕼᗩᐯE E᙭ᑭEᖇIEᑎᑕE ᗯITᕼ ᗰEᗪIᑕᗩTIOᑎᔕ?
Yes. I have experience administering needles and oral medications. This can include allergy pills, diabetes, antihistamines, stomach pills, acid pills, kidney pills, etc.

ᑕᗩᑎ YOᑌ GᖇOOᗰ ᗰY ᑭET ᗯᕼIᒪE IT’ᔕ TᕼEᖇE?
I can do minimal grooming currently, and I can confidently trim nails. If you’d like to add this service on while your pet is here, then it’s only $10 for a nail trim and grooming varies on size and amount of fur.

Meet Blueberry! 🫐 🐾
This kitty was one of the first pets I did drop in visits for outside of friends/family and helped me realize my passion for caring for animals.

11/13/2023

Meet the pets that could possibly be hanging out with your fur babies!

This is Loki, Pope, and Kannika. They are my own pets who live at my house and will be here while I’m pet sitting.
All three have very different personalities, but are always looking forward to seeing who will be staying with us next!
Loki is the queen of the house but keeps to herself. Kannika and Pope are always up for a new furry friend to run around and play with.
All of them are very gentle, sweet animals.

Meet and greets are always something I recommend if you’re looking to book in for dog boarding.

Meet Jack!

This handsome chocolate lab has stayed with me anywhere from a single night up to 40 nights! He reminds me of my childhood as I grew up with labs.
We’ve adventured all over the island and he even joins me at work during his stays.
He has a tendency to swallow things he shouldn’t when he misses his dad, so he needs 24/7 supervision.. I even use baby gates during the night. 🙊 he’s prone to ear infections so he has a special routine every time he’s out of the water.
Jacks favourites: food/treats, playing fetch with a ball and a chuck-it, sticks/logs, singing to certain songs, swimming, his dad, and lots of pets!

Hello, welcome to my page!

I’d love to introduce myself so you know who the face is caring for your furry friends.

My name is Keah Diemert (as of August 2023!).
I have been caring for family and friends animals since I was 15 years old, when I asked for my first dog.
I’ve enjoyed meeting all the animals and owners so far, that I’ve decided to branch out. I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for all the support I’ve gotten, so thank you 🫶🏼

I have a wide range of looking after animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, sugar gliders, farm animals (all types big/small), and more! I grew up on a farm, so dealing with anything farm related doesn’t scare me away.

Let me tell you a little about my animals/home below:

I am a proud owner of 4 pets of my own; 2 dogs and 2 cats.
•Kannika: Rescue from Thailand. Female border collie/Australian shepherd mix. She’s 5 years old, very gentle and submissive.
•Loki: Female Chihuahua/Frenchie mix. She’s 6 years old, owns the house but minds her own business. She’s a mommy’s girl.
•Pope: My handsome 2 year old cat. He is basically a dog. Inside only. Loves everyone and everything.
•Mr.Periwinkle: Stays at my parents as a farm cat since I moved out. He’s 12 this year, and was my first cat ever.
All my pets are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, fixed, and dewormed.

I have a larger 2 story home with a big fenced backyard, with lots of room to play. I have a litter box and multiple dog beds and toys.

I work Monday through Friday as a Homeless Outreacb Worker, and my husband works as a car salesman for Van Isle FORD. I go home to let my dogs out during the day.
I love to stay active, playing on multiple sports teams.

Thank you for taking your time to learn about me. I understand each family and animal has different needs, so if you have any special requirements please let me know so I can give them the best care possible.

Please reach out to me if you are searching for a reliable pet sitter who is committed to giving your animal the best care.

Kindly,
