Information Channdika T. would like to know about your pet

Does your fur baby need medicines to be administered at specific times? Do they have any health concerns/medical requirements? Are they not allowed to do certain things (eg: jump off the couch)? Please also let me know if your dog has a history of biting people due to stress, anxiety or fear, and if your dog has any unique health needs.

A typical day

This will depend entirely on your dog's personality, emotional needs, mental stimulation requirements and health needs. This might include a walk, the dog park, cuddles on the couch, playing with toys, playing fetch/catch -- whatever you think your fur babe would love best.

I love 'em like my own

Pet care experience

I was a dog-mom for 8 years before losing my boy to cancer in June 2024. Believe me when I say, I love dogs more than I can put into words. They are a constant reminder of what is good and beautiful about this world and I truly do love them all like they are my own. I am exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled at caring for senior dogs with high medical, emotional and physical health needs as well as anxious dogs. While my dog was with me, he was under the care of a Naturopath, a GP vet, an Internal Medicine Specialist and a Cardiologist, and he attended biweekly Hydrotherapy sessions in early 2024. He also ate homecooked meals, under advisement from his Naturopath, before transitioning to speciality food. I am available to help in Coquitlam , Port Coquitlam and Port Moody so, drop me a line -- I can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby :)

I can’t recommend Channdika Thayver enough as a dog sitter and walker. From the moment she met our pup, her calm and caring energy put both of us at ease. She’s incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Whether it’s a daily walk or check-ins, I always feel completely at peace knowing my dog is in Channdika’s hands. She treats every dog like her own—with kindness, patience, and lots of love. Simply put, she’s a gem.

Channdika is a true gem! From the moment she met my sweet husky, Tommy, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. She’s responsible, kind, and so attentive to every little detail. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My Tommy came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. What I love most is how Channdika treats Tommy like her own. You can tell she pours her heart into this. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and loving…don’t think twice. Your furry friend will be in the best hands with her. Thank you, Channdika!

Channdhika has nothing but love, compassion, and respect for the canine companions in her life. She has great communication skills, is reliable, and adaptable. I can say from witnessing her love and care for her late dog Frodo, she is attentive to the needs of those in her care, and prioritizes their well being. She seamlessly built the needs of Frodo into her day to day, never seeing it as an inconvenience, but rather as taking care of an additional family member and doing so with love and patience.

If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further than Channdika. She has a deep love and respect for animals, especially dogs, and it shows in everything she does. Having owned and cared for her late soul dog, Frodo, for many years, Channdika understands exactly what it takes to provide the love, attention, and care dogs deserve. The bond they shared was truly special, and Frodo helped shape her understanding of a dog’s needs—daily walks, mental stimulation, or offering a safe, loving environment. Channdika is comfortable with all breed sizes and temperaments, so whether you have a tiny pup or a big, bouncy dog, she’s fully equipped to give them the care they need. From walking and playing to simply spending quality time together, she’ll treat your dog like her own. She’s responsible, reliable, and above all, compassionate. Your pup will be in great hands with her—don’t hesitate to book with her!
