Dog Walkers in Lillooet

About: I'm an active individual who loves to go for walks and would love for your fur baby to join me. I'm happy to take long enrichment walks, allowing your pet to sniff to their heart's content, as well as doing walks for exercise. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to step away for any amount of time needed during the day. This gives me the ability to meet your and your pets' needs throughout the day. I do not have a fenced-in yard, but instead am happy to take dogs for walks and play inside my home, which has ample room. For cats, I had my own cat until recently, and have all the things required to care for them in my home (two litter boxes, food/water bowls, and enrichment activities). Also, more than happy to visit cats in your home to scoop litter, refill food/water, and play as needed.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping with my family’s rescue organization, "The Rescuers" Dog Placement Service, where my mom, Tracey Summers, rescued, trained, and rehomed more than 500 dogs. As a professional dog trainer, she taught me everything from dog handling and grooming to training and understanding canine behaviour. As a child, I participated in dog agility and 4-H dog programs, and I still enjoy dog sports today. I currently practice agility with my dog "Arrow" and have recently started dock diving with my newest puppy, "Comet". Since my teenage years, I have privately provided dog walking, pet sitting, and basic training services for friends, family, and community members. Dogs are truly my passion, and spending time with them is one of my favourite things to do. I also worked in a pet store for 8 years, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and pet care needs. Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, as well as cats, rabbits, chickens, rodents, reptiles, and other household pets. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, reliable, and compassionate care. As a certified teacher, I am dependable, responsible, and an excellent communicator. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care in your home, I will treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own animals. I have a flexible schedule and provide reliable pet care on weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I live a van-based lifestyle and work online as a tutor, giving me the flexibility to adapt my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting. Based in British Columbia, I’m also open to travelling within the region for pet care opportunities. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle, as I spend much of my time outdoors and structure my days around movement, walks, and animal care. I enjoy including dogs in my routine through active outings, calm companionship, and maintaining their usual schedule while owners are away. Safety and wellbeing are my top priorities when caring for animals. I use positive reinforcement and understand canine body language, helping me create a calm and safe environment for every dog. My puppy is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys appropriate play with other dogs. I carefully manage interactions to ensure all animals feel comfortable. With experience in dog training, agility, rescue and boarding, I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments and needs while keeping every pet safe and happy.
