• Any medical issues, allergies, or special needs?

🌟🌟 ABOUT ME & MINE 🌟🌟

Hi, I’m Deb! I live with my husband John in Ocean Grove. Our kids have grown up and left home, so now it’s just us and our gorgeous fur baby Henry—a Toy Cavoodle who’s now 2 years old.

Henry loves other dogs and is always happy to share his home and toys. He does get very excited when meeting new doggy friends for the first few minutes, but he quickly settles down and absolutely loves playing and hanging out with them.

He eats a raw food diet, so visiting dogs must bring their own food as not all dogs tolerate or enjoy raw meals.

I work from home, so I have lots of time to give your little dog plenty of love, attention, and fun. Henry and I enjoy walks around the neighbourhood, trips to the dog beach, and visits to the wetlands for ball throwing and exploring.

John works part-time, and when he’s home, he also loves taking our furry visitors for little adventure walks.

We are big dog lovers, but because we have a small backyard, we can only accommodate small dogs for boarding or day care.

Our backyard is small but fully fenced and secure. I often sit outside with my coffee while the dogs have a play!

🌟🌟 THINGS TO BRING WHEN YOUR DOG COMES TO STAY 🌟🌟

✅ Your dog (of course!), their own food is essential – Henry eats raw food, which may not suit your pup’s tummy or taste.

✅ Their collar and lead for walk time.

✅ A favourite blanket or toy if you’d like them to have something familiar.

✅ Their bed if they’re fussy about where they sleep (otherwise, I have spare dog beds and blankets here).

✅ Any favourite treats if they’re particular about snacks.

✅ I have plenty of bowls, so no need to bring yours unless your dog is fussy.

✅ I’m happy to give oral medications, but I’m not comfortable giving injections.

Henry has his own little bedroom in my home office and sleeps in his crate at night. Your dog is welcome to share that room (I have a spare crate) or sleep in another area of the house—just let me know your preference.

The only rule is that dogs don’t sleep on our bed.

When your dog stays with us, our home is their home. We want them to feel safe, happy, and completely comfortable!
