Dog Walking Shawnigan Lake

About: 5+ years of hands-on experience and dedication to providing thoughtful care for every pet. I have cared for puppies, dogs, and cats by house-sitting, walking dogs, feeding pets, giving medications and vitamins, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide reliable, loving care. I am available to walk your pets in the early afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can house-sit and board if we come to a mutual agreement! I provide loving, personalized care, follow routines, ensure fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Customizable to you!

“Kirsten communicates very will before and after walks, is reliable, and able to provide a high standard of learning for my pooch! I’m thrilled to work with her.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life and have many years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler pace. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and each dog’s individual personality so they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I treat every pet with the same patience and kindness I would want for my own. I am available to take care of pets all through the week and I find it enjoyable to take care of and walk dogs, if the dog is having fun I find it very rewarding. When in a client's home I treat it as my own, I try and maintain the schedule the pet is used to and make sure that they have a lot of hands on play and entertainment to keep them happy and active.

“Trina was great with my dog Stan who can be nervous with new people. She’s clearly experienced with anxious dogs and was very responsive. Thanks again, Trina!”

About: I have had experience caring for puppies and adult dogs. I can teach your pet commands, have fun playing with him and keep his safety as my own I am currently working from home from 11am till 9 pm, so I will have time for your pets. You are welcome. we'll have a great time together I have enough space for several animals. I also have a pet, a Labrador Retriever. He is very friendly and gets along with both dogs and cats. I also have at home a fenced dog park where I can walk your dogs

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked with horses for five years and have spent the last three years working with and around dogs. I also raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, who is now a government-certified service dog. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine through walks, enrichment, training, and personalized care. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and giving every pet individual attention. I provide attentive, personalized care in every home. With parks, trails, and Beacon Hill nearby, pets enjoy safe walks, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection.

“Etienne was great with the dogs, easy to communicate with and a lovely person. We used him while on vacation and the dogs were well taken care of on their walks. Will totally use him the future.”

About: I have a very flexible availability since I’ve just finished my law degree and am home full time! I live near multiple parks (within 5 mins walking distance) and with lots of space in my home that your pup would love! I have a 5 month old mini dachshund puppy, and she is extremely friendly, social and would love to make new friends. I’ve been training her since she was 8 weeks old and I can also work with your pup on anything you’d like to re-enforce or newly introduce. I have past experience with dogs dealing with separation anxiety, I also implement crate training and enforced naps throughout the day and positive rewards. I also can potty train if needed! I only take 1 pet/booking at a time so I can give my full attention to your pup! Please do let me know if your pup is social or has any triggers (toy/food guarding) and is friendly to puppies, if your uncertain I strongly recommended a quick meet up prior to booking with your pup and mine to ensure a safe and fun day for them! I am home full time and my daily routine consists of caring for my own puppy, usually including playing and training and enforced naps and walks I live in a single dwelling home with a fenced yard with plenty of grass, and my home is split leveled so there’s plenty of space for your pup to run around and play. I’m not adjacent to a busy street so there are no noises that might make your pup anxious. I also have my own pup who would love a new friend (Please let me know if your pup shouldn’t be taking stairs or jumping, since I dont let my mini dachshund take the stairs or jump onto furniture due to any back injury risks so I carry her and I can do the same for yours!)

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for many years, I have experience with all pets. I have worked with all different sizes and breeds, I have also worked with different temperaments. I’ve dealt with shy and timid dogs, to aggressively not good with other animals or humans, and of course loving and super friendly dogs. Pets are my passion and I only have what’s best interest for them :) I have tons of references if wanted, I am super flexible and just happy to help with your furry family members. I am happy to just drop by and give a snuggle or out for a bathroom break, and I am also happy to stay at your home for as long as you need. I currently work part time, my job is flexible so I am able to check on the pets anytime during the day! I am always home by 3pm so plenty times for adventures and snuggles! I am very attentive to pets needs, I love playtime, snuggles, and adventures! I live by lots of trails and beaches perfect for the Adventurous pups!
