Pet Sitter in Toronto, Ontario

I'm an advocate of natural holistic care and have owned dogs for 40 years, well-read in dog behavior and training (but I don't train) and have Meetup group for tiny dogs and a raw-feeding advocacy group in the Philippines for those who wish to care for their dogs in a natural way (but I can care for your dog how whichever way you prefer it). I'm also a member of several Dog Facebook groups including Dog Trainers United, Shih Tzu Lovers PH, Dog Thoughts, Longest Living Dogs Academy, etc. (you can see it under my Facebook Profile under Theo Marcos). I am the founder of the Facebook group PH Balanced Dogs. I will feed, play, walk and cuddle your dog like insane, and also make sure that her space is respected if she/he wants to have his/her space. When I walk your dog, I will be vigilant of possible dangers starting from the time we get on and off the elevator, from other dog and even ignorant people who think they could touch the dog without asking! And your dog can either sleep on a crate, if you wish, on the floor, or in the futon with me! I don't this just for cash -- I have a job, but I will only take socialized dogs (as I'm not a professional trainer), I specialize taking on: A) Small dogs under 8 lbs. I may consider bigger, provided they are very good with small dogs. My dogs are both females and are friendly to other dogs. B) Properly socialized, house or pee pad trained (no aggression/biting issues). If the animal needs special care, as long as I can manage it (i want to do it right), I will follow religiously whatever protocol you have. C) Charge for all-day boarding is $25.00 / $30 Over Night. This includes walks and lots of cuddles. F) Your dog will stay with me in my old but SAFE One-Bedroom apartment (with enclosed balcony--your dog can't jump out), and he/she will have run access to run around the living room, dining room, balcony (but not Hallway, Kitchen or Washroom) as that is a shared access with my roommate who only rents the room, and to avoid any potential thing he/she may ingest (not that I have a habit of leaving anything dangerous on the floor as a habit) but you can't watch a dog literally every second). I can also come to people's places and care for the dog there, depending on the location (don't drive but willing to travel). I can mostly do outside of my home doggie care between only until 5 pm (Monday to Friday). If the dog is with me, I am home 75% of the time as the majority of my business is done at home teaching, and during the time I'm out if I can take your dog with me, I will! I know a lot about dog nutrition. socialization, and can even brush up with some of the basic obedience I have learned long ago (dog brushing/combing yes, but dog grooming (as in cutting hair, errr, no, that's where my talent ends (lol). Look forward to hearing from you!
