Pet care experience
My goal as a dog walker is to provide safe, reliable, and personalized service with care! Send a message and we can set up a free meet and greet to see if I meet your needs and your dog's approval :) As a child I always had pets and a strong love for animals. The summer before college I worked at a boarding/doggy daycare/training facility where I was first introduced to working with dogs. The skills and basic training techniques I learned helped me later in life with my own two dogs (who have since passed the rainbow bridge). Though I miss having a dog of my own, as a dog walker I have had several dogs come into my life that I am thrilled to have developed relationships with. I love getting out for walks, and it is always better with a dog by my side! I have a City of Kelowna business licence and have completed Dogsafe's 101 first aid and CPR course. It's a fantastic course and I highly recommend it (https://www.dogsafe.ca/elearning-dogsafe-101.html).
Reviews
Awesome and very professional. Thank you Lindsay.
Lindsay was great with and for our dog! We adopted a new dog from the SPCA at 18 months old and he had absolutely no leash manners. We initially booked Lindsay to help out during a busy week with out of town visitors and are now planning on using her more. She helped take him on long walks, desensitize him to stimuli, provided tips and tricks for walking in his harness and allowed us to use different leads and equipment she had to see what would work for him. She offered more than simply dog walking during her time with him.
Lindsay is fantastic! I would highly recommend her!
Lindsay exceeded our expectations. I was comfortable trusting that my dog was in good hands and I look forward to working with her in the future.

Does your youngster still have the happy-squirts (yes, seeing me is THAT exciting)? I will happily clean up before I go! Is your dog wary of new people, and need his/her time to come to me before we head out door? I will patiently wait and give them the space they need to build trust. Some dogs roam the house, some are crated, some allowed in certain rooms. Whatever you need, just let me know and it will be done :)
Information Lindsay P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has behavioural traits that may come up while walking, such as panic/fright, aggression, chasing/lunging at things, etc.
A typical day
Well-balanced dogs are not just well-exercised dogs; they also need structure, rules/boundaries, mental stimulation, and skill-buiding activities in order for them to be content and enjoyable pets. Walks are tailored to your dog's personal needs and can include a mix of sniffing/exploration, play, light training, and power walking or a leisurely stroll. Dogs are kept on-leash at all times unless in a fully fenced area on your property.

Availability
My schedule is very flexible. Just give me a heads up the day before and I can likely make any time work, if I am not already booked! Please note I am not available Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I do carry a hydration pack in hot weather and bring a doggy-bowl so we can all stay hydrated :)
