$10 · Dog minding services - daycare and pet sitting

Hello my name is Orla Osborne, I offer dog minding services of doggie daycare, and overnight stays at my home in the Saanich area near Tillicum mall and Panama Flats on Grange Rd and Interurban. My philosophy is pet minding shouldn't have to be expensive. There are more than enough people without pets who would love to spend time with animals that are otherwise left at home bored or anxious. There is a win-win situation to be had here, those wanting canine companionship benefit, dogs that are given attention and affection benefit, and owners benefit by feeling great that their dog is living the best life they possible can. I'm not trying to make a full time job from this service - I already have a job. I just want some canine companionship while I work a desk job from home. My rates are $10 per day for doggie daycare and $25 per night for overnight stays (both offered from my home). Both include play time, affection and attention, and some low key training if you would like (I love training dogs!). Dog walks are included in the overnight stays. Dog walks for doggie daycare are $10 extra. Pickup and drops offs are not included. Drop off anytime after 7:30am and pickup anytime before 9:30pm. About me: I grew up with all manner of pets - horses, dogs, rabbits, fish, rats, guinea pigs, stick bugs, and sled dogs. Currently, myself and my partner work from home, with no plans to return to the office environment. I work in our sitting room and I would love to have a canine buddy to hangout with and offer me a distraction once in a while to give myself a break from computer work. They can hangout with me in my sitting room (or under my chair as I work -see photos), or out on our large deck in the sun. We live in a detached house that we rent, have no other pets (or kids for that matter) and have a fenced in back yard for your dog to explore. Less than a block away from my home is Edge Park, a great park for playing fetch and running around, and a 5 minute walk up Grange Road leads to Panama Flats which has quite a few trails for dog walks.
