Hello! I am an experienced dog walker and sitter from the UK. I work full time from home and on the road, but have flexible hours. Get in touch and I will see if I can help you out with your pup!

I have worked as a dog walker in Scotland. I have also worked with reactive dogs, and older ones who required medication. 

I am a huge dog lover, and have a lab/collie/staffie called Lola who made the journey from Scotland with me. Happy to take your dog out with mine, or if your dog is reactive we can work on an arrangement that will suit you and your dog/s. 

I am happy to house sit, come by for walks, or look after your dog at my place. I live in Kitsilano in an attic apartment, and will probably struggle with hosting a huge dog here. However I will try my best to accommodate! I can also take on last minute bookings.

I'm into fitness and love to run and hike. If you have a high energy dog then I can tire them out for you.

I live with my partner here, and don't have family. This means my holidays are free and I will be in town throughout Christmas and New Year.

Services:

Boarding: I can host 1 other dog in my house, as long as they get along with my dog (female)

Medication: I am comfortable administering oral medication, however i cannot do injections

Walking: I can offer separate or joint dog walks, on or off leash as you desire. If you need regular walks, I can arrange a specific time with you

Training: I will continue your training with your dog in accordance with your instruction. I am a strong advocate of rewarding good behavior and we can arrange for the most suitable reward to keep your dog motivated

Time: I can do drop ins with your dog. I can also take them on walks for an hour midweek during my lunch break, and longer at the weekends. Typically I will head to Lynn Valley, Pacific Spirit, or a new park at the weekends.

My work: I work from home, and travel around BC. I will be at home 50% of the time midweek. This means I can spend time with your pet. We can discuss and arrange a plan that works around our schedules.

My home: I stay in an attic apartment with my partner, another dog lover called Andy. He works as a distillery and is out between 8-6 midweek and home at the weekends. Your dog can stay in the living room along with ours if they are comfortable to do so. I am also happy to put them in a cage if that is what they are used to. Our garden is self contained but shared with another couple who also have a dog.

Please get in touch with any questions!

Thanks

Izzy
