We have a 7.5 year old, 65 pound German Shepherd who was rescued after living her first year of life outdoors and without owners in a northern Saskatchewan community. She was taken in emancipated and healing from two pellets lodged in her body, as well as nursing a litter of pups. True to her breed, and no doubt influenced by her first year of life, Athena is 100% protective of us, and 100% insecure and defensive with other dogs and some adult men. She is more relaxed off leash at a dog park, but if she is not properly controlled while on leash, she lunges and acts as if she will attack other dogs. If controlled properly, she is still on edge during the encounter, but is able to keep her composure and not display aggression. When we were away for the two weeks, we needed someone who could handle Athena while out. Kent was amazing with Athena, and we feel very lucky to have met him and that it worked for him to stay with her while we were away in Europe for two weeks. We had told Kent about Athena’s personality, so he knew he needed to show confidence, and when they met, Athena gave one bark, and then settled right down and went to Kent to smell him and to ask for petting. We were put at ease immediately. Clearly Kent is very confident with dogs and knew Athena’s barking was bravado caused by fear. Kent is an avid walker, and he took Athena on long walks every day, both leashed and off leash swimming and running at the dog park - which she loves. Kent sent us photos and videos every day. When we arrived home, we greeted Athena on the front lawn. She was so excited and ran to all of us - including Kent - to play. We were so happy to see how well she had bonded with him. Since Athena’s time with Kent was so successful, in future we will try to plan our holidays to coordinate with Kent’s availability. We recommend Kent 100%.

Having to Teresa sit for my pets and house was super easy! I left on a Friday and returned on a Sunday. We had a brief phone call to discuss details of the set and everything went really smoothly. She sent me photos and videos of my pets so I could rest easy that they were in good hands. I won’t hesitate at all to reach out to have her sit for me again!
