Rupert's two favourite things:
1. Destroying all of the good toys
2. Singing the songs of his people

Exciting News for Pet Parents!

Many of you know Baby Buckaroo (the Great Dane) from the wild photos I’ve shared — well, his wonderful mom Lisa is not only my dear friend and neighbor, but also an incredibly talented groomer!

Before moving back to Belleville, Lisa owned and operated a successful grooming business in Toronto, named Bark & Bath Pet Grooming, and I’m thrilled to share that she’s now resuming her services here in town and accepting new clients!

I highly recommend Lisa Burkholder for all your pet grooming needs — she’s experienced, caring, and your pets will be in excellent hands.

Special Offer for Lana the Animal Nanny clients:
Get $10 off your first visit with Lisa at Bark & Bath Pet Grooming!

I am absolutely fuming.

Yesterday, a woman contacted me about caring for her 3 lb, 1-year-old toy poodle while she went away for two weeks.
Her idea of “care”? One 15-minute drop-in every other day. That’s it.

I told her that I could not, in good conscience, accept such a job, and that no reputable pet care provider would agree to less than three visits per 24 hours, every single day for a dog left alone.
She thought that sounded like overkill.

Sadly, this isn’t the first request like this I’ve received.
THIS IS NOT OK. THIS IS NEGLECT.

Leaving a dog completely alone for days—let alone two weeks—with just a 15-minute visit every other day is cruel - even if a dog uses p*e pads. Dogs are social creatures. They need companionship, stimulation, and exercise to stay happy and healthy. Being left alone for extended periods can lead to anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues.

If you needed that explained to you—or if you think that my idea of care sounds like “overkill”—then you truly do not deserve to have a dog.💔

I will die on this hill.

Important Update on Overnight Pet Sitting:

Until further notice, I will no longer be offering house sitting or overnight stays at clients' homes. HOWEVER, I am still providing boarding in my own home , along with all of my other regular services.

As many of you know, I suffered the heartbreaking losses of Zoey in August and Maggie in November. Their passing has been especially hard on Rupert, my 15-year-old, whose cognitive decline has progressed rapidly. He is often confused and anxious, particularly at night and I need to be here for him.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to welcoming your pets into my home for overnight stays.
