Enjoy Your Stress-Free Time Away
Accountability & Transparency
In order to make sure you have a stress-free time away, I have implemented some tools to help keep your pups safe & help you feel secure while they are in my care.
01. daily updates
All pet parents will receive daily updates which can include photos, videos and a summary of their day! It’s important to me that you feel as comfortable as your four-legged family members do while in my care.
02. Security cameras
As always - I fully support the use of security cameras during my visits as long as they are disclosed beforehand. If you do not have any, I am happy to provide one for you with access during my stay.
03. Video Chats
If requested, I am happy to provide short video calls at the end of the day so that you can see your pets and know they are safe and sound.
04. Care philosophy
Terra Nova Canines is a Fear Free Certified company. No prong, shock, choke collars or aversive tools will be used at any time. I also do not use fear or intimidation to get your pets to do what I ask of them. I believe fully in positive reinforcement methods.
When I stay with your furry friends, they will enjoy personalized, fear-free care in the comfort of their own home! As I only take one sitting client at a time, it allows me the opportunity to adjust to your pet’s normal schedule and keep their day as consistent as possible. This helps to alleviate some of the stress of you being away and provides a better overall time for your animals!
Activities during their staycation at home may include: outdoor playtime, neighbourhood walks, scenic hikes & indoor enrichment!
