I love dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs — my grandparents owned dogs, my family owned dogs, my extended family all have dogs. I have owned and/or lived with multiple dogs: Miniature Pinscher, Yorkshire Terrier, Belgian Mallinois, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Standard Poodle and Beagle. However, since moving back to Vancouver (in 2025), I have not able to commit to having a dog in my life, full time. Sad. As such, your dog (or dogs) will have my undivided care and affection. — I prefer to follow a dog’s established routine and diet. As such, their food (and medication) should come with them. I strongly advise for their bed, bowl and toy(s) to tag along as well. Having lived with dogs of varying fur, I am well versed with dog grooming — regular brushing, occasional de-matting, and basic trimming (if necessary). However, I do not venture into nail clipping territory. In terms of dental hygiene, I prefer giving the animal bones. However, if your dog is accustomed to having their teeth brushed, then I'd gladly brush their teeth. If your dog’s up for an adventure — I look forward to our extended walks or the occasional hike. We usually have extended conversations during our walks, and random sessions of trainings (e.g. command reinforcement). — Because separation anxiety is real, it is in my benefit not to be away from your dog for extended periods of time. I shall also be sending regular photographic and video updates. — I am able to accommodate one dog family at a time [maximum of 2 large dogs or 3 small dog]. Dogs must be potty-trained and mastered basic commands. If you dogs has special needs or is a senior dog, we can discuss to see whether it will be an appropriate match.
