Information Irene A. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know about your dog’s personality, energy level, and any special needs or health concerns. Please let me know if they have leash preferences, behavioral quirks, medical conditions, or favorite activities. This information helps me provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience tailored specifically to your pup.

A typical day

During walks, I ensure dogs have a fun and engaging experience. We explore local trails, parks, and neighbourhoods, play gentle games, practice basic commands, and enjoy lots of positive attention. I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level and personality, making every walk stimulating, safe, and enjoyable.

Irene was very nice and attentive! Mochi seemed super chill and happy throughout his stay and when we picked him up :)

Irene is absolutely wonderful! My puppy, Wiggle, has separation anxiety and I was nervous leaving her with someone new, but Irene took everything at her pace and made her feel completely at ease from day one. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, used a double leash as an extra precaution without me even asking, and took Wiggle on the most amazing adventure, Jericho, the duck pond, the beach, and shady walks to keep her comfortable. By the end of the day, Wiggle was happily snoozing on Irene’s couch. That says it all! We will definitely be back.

Cosmo had a fantastic couple of days with Irene going on a couple of adventures to the lighthouse and Lynn valley. Both days you could tell Cosmo was disappointed to leave. Irene provided multiple updates of their day including photos and was a fantastic communicator when organizing the care.

Irene is amazing with my puppy Bailey. Bailey is very excited for day care and sad when she leaves. I have a varied schedule and Irene has been so accommodating. Would highly recommend!
