Information Michael & Jim M. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know: Since we live in a condo we need dogs who do not suffer from excessive barking and separation anxiety. We need to respect the other owners in our condo complex. Does your dog have any allergies? Do you get along with other dogs? Is your pet house trained? ABSOLUTELY no pee pads, OR DIAPERS Dogs need to be trained to go for walks and pee and poop outside. Does your dog bark excessively? Does your dog have separation anxiety? We prefer look after dogs that are non-shedding. Sorry we can not look after dogs who are visually impaired and who are not stable enough to go outside for walks.

A typical day

Since we live next to Wagg Creek Park, their are many options. Depending on your dogs abilities. from short walks to long ones. We take our two-dogs out many times during the day.

Pet care experience

Hello: My partner Jim and I absolutely love dogs. We had two shih tzu (rescued). Yogi passed away December 26, 2022 at 14.5 yrs. Dash passed away July 30, 2021 at 15.5 yrs. Your furry friend will enjoy all the comforts of our home. Whether playing with toys or just lying on our laps. Now in North Vancouver, parks galore. Our condo sits right next to Wagg Creek Park. Our condo is one-floor so no steps required especially for senior dogs. Your special friend will be as much on vacation as you are away on your trip. No need to worry since we have 30 ears experience caring for animals. We always have a meet and greet before accepting new clients. To let us meet you furry friend. Please take a moment to read the reviews. Thank you for your consideration and time

Michael was so loving to our senior Cavalier King Charles. At the very last minute we found ourselves on the North Shore requiring 6 hours of dog-sitting for Ruby. Michael responded quickly to our request. He showed us his home while Ruby acclimatized. In their time together he sent almost hourly photos - Ruby playing, walking outside, relaxing and getting cuddles. He fed Ruby her dinner and had her packed and walked her out to meet us. We had an enjoyable 6 hours visiting our relatives ( not dog lovers) knowing Ruby was so well looked after. We highly recommend Michael for your dogs needs.

Michael and Jim are exceptional dog-sitters. Our dog, Milou, is always happy when we drop her off, and we are confident that she is having a great time while we are away. Michael and Jim are great about sending updates and photos, so we can have a worry-free vacation. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Milou.
