1 on 1 kind of love and care ❤️

Pet care experience

• PET-SAFE, PEST-FREE home / boarding space • 1:1 FULL EXCLUSIVITY for Boarding Guests • DROP-IN VISITS to feed, care for and shower your pets with love and attention while you’re away • SAFE, FUN & RESPONSIBLE Walking Service • *lots of* PHOTOS & DAILY REPORT to keep you posted on how your fur baby is behaving, pottying, eating and drinking! Hi! My name is Lou. My husband Chris and I work as a team to provide pet care service in Richmond and the South Vancouver Community. Since the pandemic, we have provided care to 150+ animals and counting. <Want to know what to expect? Feel free to check out our reviews from our previous clients :) > =About Us= I grew up raising pet dogs - I had a 15-year-old doberman, 16 year-old beagle and now 2 pet pugs (5-year-old and 12 year-old respectively). These wonderful furry friends accompanied me since I was a child and well into my adulthood. I still miss the ones that passed so dearly and have a particular soft spot for small dogs. My relatives are all dog lovers so I have the chance to interact and be with dogs a lot throughout my life. I am also the go-to dogsitter for my friends when they are out of town and volunteered with Dog Rescue regularly back in Hong Kong. Having moved to Vancouver from Hong Kong, Chris and I missed having pets around. We find caring for cats and dogs a grounding experience and would love to play or simply walk them because to us, no time is a better time spent with animals. Your pets will get the most loving care and fun time with us! =Drop-in Visit: How we do it = We care for your fur baby while you’re away, so that they are less lonely, less anxious and given lots of love and attention. We will go to your home to feed your fur baby, administer medication, take them to “do their business”, pet / play with them, and clean up your pet’s living area. Upon every visit, we will send you photos showing you how their appetite, behaviour, mood. You can have peace of mind while you’re away! =Boarding Services: How & Policy = Our spacious apartment welcomes your lovely pet to stay overnight! Due to the pandemic, we have our own boarding policy to ensure we have time after a booking to thoroughly sanitize our home and furniture before welcoming our next pet guests. What to expect: Regular photos and report will be sent to pet owner. Potty, medication and feeding schedule as instructed by pet owners. Daily walks and lots of play and attention for your fur baby! [!!!] Please read the following if you’re looking to book for a place for your pet to stay overnight with us. [!!!] Drop off time for your pet: after 3 pm* Pick up time: before 10am (next day)* (Need to drop off early/ pick up later? No problem- send us an inquiry!**) *Our cleaner comes in between bookings to carry out flea control and sanitizing procedures (10:30-2:30pm). Earlier drop off / later pick up can be arranged but will result in our inability to take the next booking - hence a fee for “extended stay” will be charged to compensate for the loss on our end. We appreciate your understanding and consideration :) **Please send an inquiry if you need extended stay (earlier drop off / later pick up). I will do everything I can to accommodate to your needs. Price adjustment will be made for extended stays and will be confirmed by pet owners before payment. =Meet and Greet= Feel free to send me an inquiry to discuss how you want to do the meet-and-greet so that we can better cater to your pet’s needs. Thanks again for taking the time to read this. I look forward to giving you a hand in caring for your pets!

This is our second time asking Lou to take care of our cats. She and her partner were very caring and responsive. Highly recommend to other pet owners.

We feed, walk and play with your fur babies while they are under our care :) we can also help administer medication as instructed. Just send us a message about your pet's care needs and we will take it from there!

Information Lou P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special diet, needs or allergies I should be aware of before the dogwalking session. I will keep close communication with dog owners to make sure the dogwalking session is safe and fun!

A typical day

It's very important for me to first understand your dog’s physical and mental status before walking. I will then adjust the exercise and activities I carry out with the dog so that it came home physically and mentally recharged!
