Hello there👋🏻I come highly recommended, knowledgeable, and very experienced. References available upon request. 🐕💕 (For cat care please scroll to the very bottom of the bio!) I am open to negotiating my service rates with you for dogs that are 12lbs or less or dogs have very low energy/low maintenance care needs. However my rates and routine for dog care during boarding & daycare includes an abundance of exercise, outdoor adventures in Pacific Spirt park or at Hadden beach, indoor playtime (tug of war & squeaky toys), snuggles, head compression massage, lots of love, patience, and attention. My apartment has air conditioning and is close to 3 brilliant dog parks. Heather Park off leash area, Charleson Park Dog Park, and Cooper's Park Dog off leash area. We are also close to the very lovely Douglas Park for shaded park hangs. I offer vehicle pick up and drop off your dog , and have a sliding scale of $25 to $65, depending on the distance and time of day, rush hours are generally higher rate-- i use Evo rental to facilitate that and can provide you with an Evo invoice to adjust the prices. For homes that are less than 1km away from my home, pick up and drop off is $15 round trip and done by foot. For doggy day care [only] pick up & drop off is free (within 1km) Some more about me😊💕🐈‍⬛🐕... I have a fierce passion for both cats and dogs. I immensely enjoy walking, and find its great for a healthy mind for both myself and the dog client. I especially love going for forrest walks. It is just, the best. And the dog clients love it also! I enjoy humour, photography, and films. I have cared for animals my entire life. I carry a deep joy and enthusiasm for all the sentient creatures of our planet. 💗🌎💗 I am uniquely equipped with the capacity to love and care for your animal, as if it were my own. My aim is to provide the ultimate experience for your loved one while it is in my care. If your dog loves the ball, you can bet ill be throwing it. If tug of war is their playtime delight, we will be doing that. It is a top priority that while in my care, that I am consistently offering a presence and environment of low stress and fun times. Stop and Sniff is a primary feature of all my walks. The stimulation is said to offer huge health benefits to your loved one, much more than exercise alone. The neuro plasticity gained from this style of walking, i find, keeps dogs out of boredom and free of depressive states. Its a walk for them, and their interests. Hence why I also walk my cat a couple times a week in the summer months, adding enrichment to his day to day. Im a firm believer that we and all sentients deeply benefit from engaging with our senses, movement and nature. I will give your loved one the utmost attention, as if it were my own little one🐕💕And I will do my best to destress and relax your loved one, while you cannot be at home. I am keen to provide body massages and essential scratches to willing participants in those hard to reach spots or achey joint areas like the hips and shoulders. For housesitting stays I pride myself on leaving the home as spotless as it was when i first arrived. Rates can fluctuate depending on what your dog's care needs are. A typical day in my home is full of lots of praise, leadership, clicker training, ball hawking or play with toys, positive reinforcement type corrections, long and scent stimulating walks full of exploring. Above all, enthusiasm, patience, joy and kindness to your loved one. If you have a very anxious dog I also like to play YouTube videos with calming binaural frequencies, or singing bowls that help promote parasympathetic reset. We will also be doing a lot of exercise the first two days to help push through their anxiety. I would like to know their temperament around other dogs and any food allergies. Any medical issues. And what--if anything, that might trigger them on our walks together like scooters, skateboards or bicycles. I need to know the entire details of your expected care or the dog needs and routine before confirming the booking. If your animal has special needs or medical needs my rate will need to be renegotiated to accommodate those needs ( ex: frequent wash-rooming schedule, teeth & grooming or genital hygiene details, frequent medication dosing, extra exercise) I am currently devoting most of my availability to services on the Pawshake app so i can spend the entire day with your dog, if need be. Very flexible schedule and availability. Please be advised, I generally bring my boarding clients along for any other dog walking services through out the day unless your dog is reactive or has mobility issues. *****✨Cat🐈‍⬛💛🐈Care✨***** I am uniquely equipped with the capacity to love and care for your kitty, as if it were my own. My aim is to provide the ultimate experience for your loved one while it is in my care. If your kitty goes bananas for the kitty wand or a favourite toy, ill be folding that play into our time together. I am keen to provide body massages and essential scratches to willing participants in those hard to reach spots or achey joint areas like the hips and shoulders. I work remotely and can spend the majority of the day in your home if need be [ housesitting booking only]. House visits are a 30 minute window where care needs can be managed and playtime and affection folded in. I am proficient in the towel technique otherwise known as the "kitty burrito" and accustomed to administering pills and inhalers. At this time however i am recovering from a broken arm, I am at 7 months and cannot administer any medication that requires two able arms. Your cat needs to be willing to eat their meds mashed in a liquid treat or wrapped in a pill pocket. I am a cat "Kahu" myself, for a special needs kitty. Please feel free to look at his bio and review how i care for him, i will care for your cat as if it were my own lil guy. And do my best to destress and relax your loved one, while you cannot be at home.
