What I offer:

WALKS
On every walk, I ensure your dog will be part of the most fulfilling dog walk possible. I put much emphasis on proper leash walking, not allowing bad behaviors and building a solid relationship with each individual dog. I can offer 3 types of walks:

Relax walk: For the ones who just need to get out there and explore, sniff around and walk at their own pace. These options are great for puppies or senior dogs. Structured walk: A walk with little to no interruptions. It simply means that I lead the walk, and the dog follows. A structured walk is a key element to achieving a balanced dog. These types of walks are more intense, physically challenging and mentally stimulating. Hiking: We get into my SUV and we drive out to one of my many favourite trails and have a good walk through the beautiful and rejuvenating forests and fields of Niagara. Simple to moderate terrains will have us walking for 1.5 - 2 hours

PET CHECK INS
I will visit your pets at home anywhere between 15 to 60 minutes per visit up to 3 visits daily. I will replicate your pets daily routine and make sure they are happy and cared for like you never even left. Each visit includes:
Feeding and replenish water
Potty break
Litter box clean up
Administer medication if needed
Clean up after any messes or accidents left by pet(s)
Light grooming
treats
Play and snuggles

OVERNIGHT PET SITTING
If your pet prefers to have company throughout the night and you like to have that peace of mind that your home is cared for while you’re away. From 8pm to 8am (or any other pre-arranged 12 hour period) I will live in your home and give your pets all the attention they deserve while you are away. Overnight pet sitting includes the same duties as PET CHECK INS but with added services such as:
morning and evening dog walks
taking in the mail
watering indoor plants
taking out the trash
alternating blinds and lights if requested
or other general home care activities that give your home a “lived-in” look. This service also includes 2 -15 minute “potty break” visits. If extra visits during the day are required, they can be included at a discounted rate.
