Pet care experience
Hiya! ABOUT ME: I'm a 30-something male and have loved animals large and small my whole life. I've had 10yrs of experience caring for dogs and also many other animals — cats, owls, rabbits. Before moving to Vancouver in March 2017, I was a brand manager for Procter & Gamble in Asia. I left the corporate world in Dec 2016, moved to Vancouver a few months later to get my pilot license and started an online business, which is my full-time focus now. WHERE I LIVE & WHAT I LIKE TO DO: I live in a beautiful house at Victoria Dr and E 5th Ave (Grandview-Woodlands / East Van) with a nice garden and plenty of free space, however, I'm focusing on dog-sitting/walking/drop-ins just now and won't be taking dogs home. I'm very active and outdoorsy, so your pup will definitely get a lot of time in nature. CARE FOR YOUR PUP: If I have a high energy visitor, you can find me exploring the trails on the North Shore or playing in the East Van parks (McSpadden). If I have a more chill visitor, I'm happy to spend an evening rolling around in the garden. BOOKING PREFERENCES: I'd prefer to take bookings from only 2 families at a time. This is to ensure your pup has my undivided love and attention!! I currently work from home running my own online business, so I'm very flexible to manage my schedule around your pup's needs. Hit me up! I live in a big East Van house, so no issues keeping your dog inside if needed. Else the surrounding area (Victoria Dr and E 5th Ave) is very pet friendly for walks and play time.
Reviews
Arvind came by to walk Lola when my wheelchair and I got snowed in last weekend. He was prompt and Lola enjoyed her time out hunting squirrels. I'll be calling him again if I get snowed in.
Arvind is very detailed-oriented and was eager to learn about how to care for and provide continuity with Ares' strict training plan - which was very reassuring considering Ares is a rescue pitbull with behavioural challenges. Arvind is reliable, punctual, organized and corresponds in a timely manner. Bonus is that he kept my place in tip-top shape as I had left it! :) I trust him in my home with Ares and we will be accessing his services numerous times in the future.
Arvind is one of the most welcoming and friendly people I have ever met. He instantly connected with my husky, Ace, on our first hike together and proceeded to show his enthusiasm and interest in getting to know my pup. When I first met Arvind, it was obvious he truly cares for those around him, including Ace and other dogs, and has now proven to be extremely responsible and dependable. I definitely trust Arvind with caring for Ace and I know he would be in excellent hands.
Arvind is a meticulous and conscientious friend who will be a great dog sitter. You'll never have to worry about your furry friend with him as they will have an adventure of a lifetime with Arvind. He's also very careful about his own health and diet, so you can be assured that Arvind will ensure the health and well-being of your pooch.
