Ratings and reviews
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!
My partner and I (and our puppy, Fitz) could not be happier with our experiences with Irene. She is extremely pleasant to deal with and our puppy is always so happy and tired out when we pick him up. She takes the dogs on long adventures and gets the best photos of him to send with his daily update. Irene has become our new go to whenever we need someone to watch our dog for the day.
My 8th months old English springer spaniel puppy stayed with Irene for 11 days. Every day we got update about Charlie’s adventures with a little story and photos. Irene took Charlie to different long walks and hikes several times per day. Charlie had an amazing time hanging out with 2 Irene’s dogs and other dogs that she took care of.
Irene is really wonderful with our Cocker Spaniel. We got lots of pictures, our dog got a lot of walks and play time with the other dogs. We had a piece of mind.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive and safe care for dogs during walks, focusing on their exercise, safety, and happiness. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including leash preferences, walking routes, and any special needs. I make sure to give plenty of attention, encouragement, and breaks as needed, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being while outdoors.
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.
