Information Kara I. would like to know about your pet

Some important information that would be great to know ahead of time is whether your dog has any special needs (allergies, injuries, triggers, etc.) or preferences for walk styles (shorter vs longer walks). Any information you think would be helpful is appreciated!

A typical day

A typical day would include a long walk along the sea wall. Whether your dog likes to play fetch, play with other dogs or do their own thing, we will have an awesome day. I enjoy going for hikes and being near the water so I can plan the day ahead of time and make sure that your pup is happy based on your lifestyle!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Kara and I have grown up with dogs and other pets my whole life. I am originally from Ontario and relocated to Vancouver three years ago. I grew up with Dobermans and most recently our English/Bull Mastiff named Luna. I really wish I could have brought Luna to Vancouver. Back home, Luna and I enjoyed adventurous walks, going to the beach, playing with furry friends and cooling off in the water since she loves to swim!

There’s no one I trust more with Bijou than Kara. Bijou has stayed with her several times now, and it’s always a positive experience!

Bijou has stayed with Kara multiple times and loves her. I also feel at ease! She gives him so much love, and updates me along the way too.
