Dog Sitters in Stouffville

| Growing up surrounded by animals, a love for them has always come naturally to me. I believe that animals are more than just pets, rather they are friends, companions, and even more so family members. The bond experienced between an owner and their pet is like any other, changing both the lives of the animal and the person. More importantly, The Humane Society is a remarkable foundation that provides the opportunity to change both the lives of animals as well as their potential owners. I have had the opportunity to volunteer at the Humane Society over the past two years by walking and playing with dogs as well as cats. Moreover, I have lived in a household of 2+ dogs all of my life and maintain hands-on experience with cleaning, feeding, and walking them.

| Lover of dogs, all sizes Dog owner all my life Currently have 2 dogs

| I have had medium-sized mixed breed rescue dogs (puppy and adults) for 10+ years. I currently have an adult medium Border Collie-Australian shepherd fixed male whom I walk in the neighbourhood, parks, and forests several times a week. I have undergone puppy training and puppy/adult walk training and am confident walking 1-3 small-to-medium dogs and 1-2 medium-large dogs in the neighbourhoods and local forest trails (while leashed). I am comfortable with most dogs who wear snout leads/bite collars/muzzles while walking, as these are meant to keep the dog and others safe when used correctly. Not preferred: body harnesses for medium-large dogs and flex-leashes for all dogs, as these provide little control and communication between dog and walker. Must be reasonably well-behaved on walks but I am open to working with dogs with leash-reactivity and other challenges, as many dogs react out of fear/confusion/stress rather than pure anger/aggression. Please note I am not a certified trainer but rather someone who is passionate about giving dogs their full quality of life. I am also comfortable with stopping by to feed your pets.
