Would you feel comfortable leaving your children with just anyone? Probably not. Finding a caregiver for your animal companions is not an easy process. Therefore, Petopia has provided the top 10 reasons as to why you should chose us as the caregiver for your four-legged babies:


  1. Peace of Mind: Physically we may be walking or taking care of your pets, but our purpose is much more than that. Our clients are always expressing the peace of mind they feel because they know their precious pets and their home are in good hands. We realize our services are more than a convenience to you but rather an integral part of you and your pet’s lives. Our goal is to develop and maintain that lifelong trust.


  2. Experienced and constant educational development: Experience and knowledge in dog training and animal care allows us to better understand your pet’s needs and how to best interact with them. Petopia strongly believes in continual education and constant renewal of knowledge. As such, we are always updating our knowledge of animal behaviour and animal care. By attending various seminar and workshops on an ongoing basis, we build on the wealth of knowledge that we share with our clients.


  3. Extra Attention: Do your pets need extra attention? We have the time to give them all the TLC and attention they need. Unlike some others who try to cram as many pet sits or dog walks into a single day as they can, Petopia limits the number of animals we take care of to ensure the most positive experience for your pets.


  4. Safety: We are committed to providing your four-legged babies with a safe and enjoyable experience. At Petopia, the ratio of dogs to handlers for our Group Walks is never more than three to four dogs per handler. Beware of other services which take out 6 to 8 dogs at a time; unfortunately, such large groups often compromise the safety of the dogs. As well, we are trained in Pet First Aid so you can be assured that your animal companion is in safe hands while under our care.


  5. Convenience and availability: Petopia is available to you 7 days a week and we can tailor our services to fit your schedule. We do not specify our hours of operation because we know that you cannot place restrictions or limits on when your animal companions need our care. So be confident that we will do our best to accommodate your needs and to satisfy pets’ wants. Our mission is to make your life easier by providing quality service when you need them.


  6. Reasonable and competitive rates: Petopia knows that owning and taking care of your pets is a big investment. That is why we want to make our services affordable and competitive. We also know that quality care is equally important, so we provide many value-added services that are free of charge to you (such as the Club Paws program, constant updates on your pets, rain/snow wear for dogs on walks, basic manners and training for dogs, etc)


  7. Customized Services: Whether we are providing doggie group exercise, in home pet care, overnight pet sitting, or other services, they will be tailored to your specific needs. No two homes or pets are exactly alike. That is why we have an extensive initial consultation to determine how we can best cater to your needs, as well as your pets’. We cover things like medical conditions, animal habits and behaviors, feeding times, feeding instructions, water sources, kitty hiding places, home security measures, people with access to your home, your veterinarians, etc.


  8. Professionalism: We are a professional pet care company. We are licensed, bonded and insured. We are members of the Professional Dog Walkers Association, Canadian Association of Professional Pet Dog Trainers, American Professional Dog Trainers, and Pet Sitters International. These memberships assure a record of the quality of our services and a code of ethics which we must abide by.


  9. Constant Communication: Petopia will provide you with as much communication as you want, and in the format of your choice (email, calls, or logs). We know how much you care about your furry children and how it puts a smile on your face to know they enjoyed their day. We also greatly value your feedback and comments since this is how we determine areas of improvement to serve you and your pets better.


  10. Genuine Love for Animals: Our priority is to give your pets as much love and attention as you would. Petopia was started with that core value - our love of animals and our goal of enhancing the well-being of your furry friends.
