If you will be returning to work and would like to resume pet care services, please contact us through our Facebook page at or email Jillian.
Please note that while schools are closed, Jillian will still need to be home with her son, but our caring and qualified staff team will be available for pet sitting and dog walking services and Jillian will be available by email and for virtual consultations by appointment.
As always, we will continue to observe social distancing requirements and will wash hands before and after every visit, per our disease prevention policy.
We cannot wait to return to some semblance of normal and see our furry friends again, we've missed them so much!

With regards to essential services, the section impacting Pet Care has remained unchanged. We can continue to provide pet care services to essential workers, or to those for whom we are an essential service. This includes anyone listed under the updated order 67(3) of the Public Health Act and our clients who cannot care for their pets due to disability or injury.

Manitoba has extended public health orders shutting down non-essential businesses and limiting public gatherings for an additional two weeks, to be re-evaluated on April 28, 2020.
To read the Order from Manitoba's Public Health officer, please visit www.gov.mb.ca/asset_library/en/proactive/2019_2020/orders-soe-03302020.pdf
To comply with this order, and to keep our community, our clients, and our staff safe, we will only be providing pet care services to essential workers, or to those for whom we are an essential service. This includes anyone listed under order 67(3) of the Public Health Act and our clients who cannot care for their pets due to disability or injury.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Jillian. Please be advised that, due to school closures, Jillian is currently homeschooling her child and may not be readily available by email or phone. We thank you for your understanding and patience during this challenging time .

That being said, our first priority is the health and safety of everyone in our community. This includes our clients, their pets, our staff, and their families. Our staff have the right to choose to remain at home during this challenging time and have been given the option to take a leave of absence until the state of emergency is lifted and social distancing is no longer mandated.
Pawsitive Pet Care staff who are continuing to work will only be visiting those clients to whom we are, indeed, an essential service. This includes clients who are unable to care for their own pets due to disability or injury, and clients who require pet care services because they themselves are essential service workers and must continue to work in order to serve, provide for, and care for our community. As always, we will continue taking every possible precaution, including sanitizing hands before and after every visit.
To those front-line workers: We thank you for your efforts during this difficult time and we will do whatever we can to assist. Thank you for all your are doing and have done.
To our staff: Thank you for caring for the pets of our front-line workers, we will do whatever way we can contribute to the fight against Covid-19, and however we can provide peace of mind to our front-line workers.
To our clients: Thank you for your words of support and for your kindness. We very much look forward to seeing our furry friends again as soon as possible. We miss them, we miss our daily routines, and we value your business. Most of all, we value the relationships we have developed over the past 10 years, with our clients and especially with the loveable animals we see every day.
To our larger community: This will pass. It is a challenging time, but please continue to practice social distancing, follow the advice of our medical experts, and take care of yourselves and each other. We look forward to seeing you when we are out and about walking dogs and visiting pets. Be well.
Sincerely,
As we know, this is an ever-changing and evolving situation. Please check back often for updates. We will be monitoring manitoba.ca/covid19/updates/index.html for daily information and will post any changes on our website and Facebook page.
