About: Hello, My name is Rachel. I'm an Registerd nurse and graduate student. I work mostly in nursing education, health advocacy and Indigenous health. I am the owner of a golden doodle named Luffy. You may recognize him and myself as being a part of the Dog Friendly KW content creation team. When I initially got Luffy he was such a handful and we went through alot of hard work together to be able to go on so many dog friendly adventures. I utilize balanced training methods and have experience with slip leads, prongs and the e-collar. I know for myself how difficult it can be to find places for our pups to stay where the structure we implement with our pups is being followed and I decided to offer my services to support the dog community. I am not a dog trainer but I will ensure your pup has a great time while maintaining the structure they are used to. I work full time from home and I'm pretty flexible with my work. I try to structure my day in order to ensure I am able to provide the best possible pet care. I make sure to read how the pet is doing and the care plan that is provided to me and gage my actions based on that. I would follow the instructions of the pet owner to best care for their dog .
“Sarah was wonderful with both of my dogs! Everything went very well, and she kept me updated with pictures throughout the walk. It was so reassuring to see them happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Alice needed a male figure since she had one growing up and no longer does. When I come home, Alice is much more calm than she has been in a long time. So glad Walter was able to give her the exercise and play time she needs :) Thank you!”
About: I've had dogs all my life honestly. Big and small. I'm also the friend everyone goes to when they need helpnwith their dog. I have experience with breeds from chihuahuas to huskies. I currently have a very flexible schedule as inonly work part time. I am gone every other weekend tho. I'd be able to accommodate almost any schedule. I'd be following any given instructions for the dogs home and would keep them in the routine. Comfortable happyband loved. Your dog would also have a playmate with mine if friendly for park dates so they wouldn't be inside all day long.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of animal ranging from large dogs and horses to guinea pigs and chinchillas. I even worked on a hobby farm taking care of rams and chickens in Australia! I have owned and cared for animals with specific medical conditions and I am confident in administer different medications and making sure the pet is as comfortable as can be! My family is from Vancouver island and I have recently graduated from Western and currently working in London as a remote Translator/ Editor for an Education Agency ! I am available most days throughout the day, and short notice! I would love to dedicate part of my day to getting to know your amazing furry friends! I am comfortable taking dogs on long hikes or to parks. I often take my family dogs on trail walks and runs and I love taking trips to the dog beach so they can get a swim on hot days. I am familiar with owning reactive dogs and know how to handle and react responsibly to certain stressful behaviors and situations. I own a vehicle with lots of room for bigger dogs and am very familiar with the messy dog car lifestyle :)
