Pro trainer and pet photographer
Pet care experience
I am an experienced dog handler (air conditioned home) with all sizes and ages of dogs including high energy, puppy, senior, and shy/reactive dogs. I have also done a lot of pet photography and can provide professional pictures of your pet during their stay. I am a competitive trainer with dogs that have been titled in Trick Dog, Rally-O, Obedience and Conformation and I have experience working with dogs that have behavioural issues. I have fostered dogs and cats for many rescues for years and attended many force free/positive reinforcement training classes and workshops. I only use force free training with any dogs I work with! Although I'm new on Rover, I'm happy to provide references from rescues, and clients of other sports. I offer boarding in my place which is located close to Pacific Spirit Park and Spanish Banks. I only take 1 boarding dog at a time so your pups get the utmost attention and love they deserve. Typically our schedule involves 2-3 walks a day and in the summer time hikes around pacific spirit park or the beach. I also offer house sitting in your house where I ensure that your dog sticks to all their routines, and I will leave the house exactly as I found it. I don't smoke or drink and have minimal presence in your home. Depending on availability, I can also offer daycare at my place, drop in potty breaks for dogs, kitty visits, medication visits, etc. Please let me know what you're looking for and I will try to accommodate!
Reviews
Jade took care of our pomsky puppy, Ice, for a few weeks while we were out of town on Vacation. Ice has a lot of energy and can be a handful at times – Jade did an outstanding job of taking care of him and provided regular status updates and photos of Ice. Under Jade’s supervision, Ice enjoyed numerous walks a day, the occasional hike and visit to the beach! Ice also was socialized with other dogs around her neighbourhood which was great to see. We felt confident that he was in good hands and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry for Ice. Jade is very good with dogs and it shows! Thank you Jade! We would not hesitate to use Jade again and would highly recommend her to anyone.
I will definitely be using Jade again in the future!! Our 2 year old Corgi Thor, who is mildly reactive, thrived with Jade and her sweet dog Paddy over the span of 5 days. Communication was excellent as we received daily updates accompanied by videos and stunning photos. Thor had such a good time with long walks and cuddles, that he kept looking back for her as I picked him up. It's clear Jade loves and cares about animals - thank you, Jade!
Amazing communication and detail with us when our dog stayed with her.
Jade is great dog sitter and she took Ke Le out to do excise a lot every day. Ke Le and Jade were having many interesting moments together. I would like to ask for help from Jade to take care of Ke Le in the next time definitely.

Please let me know what your dogs are used to and like! I will try to follow their routine as closely as possible! When boarding with me, everyday we go for 3-4 short walks, do 1-2 training sessions and go for 1 long hike, park trip or beach trip. I can also offer professional photos of your pups if the weather is nice!

Information Jade W. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies, behaviours that would affect their care and of course, what they love! I would love to help your dog feel like they are at home and follow all their regular routines so that they are not anxious in a new setting.
A typical day
We love to go to Pacific Spirit Park for walks and hikes. If your dog has a favourite park I'm happy to take them as well. If they are good off leash, I'm happy to take them to the beach at Spanish banks, or a park to fetch for a great time! If your dog is older, or requires less exercise, I'm happy to offer walks around the neighbourhood and to play games around the house.
