We work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. We use positive reinforcement and low-stress handling principles in all our interactions.
Dog walks
We come to your house to create a fun, personalized excursion for your pooch. Our walks are typically one-on-one and on-leash, although we can tailor an adventure specifically for your dog's needs. Our focus is safety, engagement, and enrichment.
Walks are typically 30, 45 or 60 minutes in duration. Our walking schedule is 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday, with set routes within our service area. Since we offer one-on-one services, all offerings are subject to availability and we often have a waiting list, particularly for peak times. We service New Westminster (excluding Queensborough) and East Vancouver/Mount Pleasant.
If you are interested in walks, please let us know your location (city and address or cross streets) as well as desired days and time frame. We generally take bookings within a three-hour time window, with 11am - 2pm being our peak time. See this page for our rates.
We do not offer group walks at this time, although if there are multiple dogs in the home or your dog has a friend who would like to join the fun, we are happy to accommodate.
Overnight care
Our qualified sitters can come to your home to provide overnight care for your pet, including feeding, exercise, and lots of TLC.
Our sitter will come in after work, take Fido for a walk, feed dinner, and stay with your pet for the evening and overnight. In the morning they will do breakfast, walk, and head out for the day.
Each overnight booking (evening-to-morning) includes 60 minutes of exercise. We will discuss how that time is distributed during the day, and can add additional walking time for a small charge.
Note that we do have other clients/commitments during the day, so the sitter will be out of the home for a 9-to-5 type stretch, seven days a week.
If your pet is used to snoozing on their own while you work out of the home, this will be a seamless transition! If you live in our service area, we can offer the option of added mid-day breaks. We are also happy to work with your existing dog walker or dog care partner if you wish to have some else check on your buddy during the day.
We will send daily updates on how the stay is going, and we can help with light house maintenance like watering plants, taking in mail, and ensuring the safety of your home.
Boarding may also be available in a sitter's home. Scheduling and rates are the same for this option. We only accept one client at a time, so your pet will be the centre of attention.
Sorry, due to our commitments to other clients (and need for occasional personal time!) we do not offer 24-hour around-the-clock care.
