Dog-loving choir boy

Pet care experience

I'm a thoroughly experienced pet person, and love spending time with all domestic furry friends. I've grown up in a house with many pets, always having at least one dog, a cat, and a bird or goldfish around. Many friends, colleagues and employers have trusted me to take care of their pets in the past, having cited me as being very attentive to their pet's needs, and being trustworthy in ensuring the best needs of their pet are always met. I consider myself very emphatic when it comes to caring for other people's pets, paying careful attention to the wants and needs of the pet, and making sure that the pet is always in a happy, loving environment. I have a very good knowledge of different dog breed and size requirements when it comes to energy, feeding, attention, etc. This helps me cater specifically to best suit the needs of the dog(s) that I'm looking after. A Border Collie and Newfoundland will after all have very different care routines. I have also cared for pets that have special needs, such as diabetic cats, and can administer medication with ease. Lastly, I have a patient, loving temperament when I am around animals, and always strive to give them the attention that they deserve.

Rainier cared for my dog, Bear, for a week. He took really good care of Bear, and sent some photos along too! He was very communicative and kept me up-to-date. Would highly recommend :)

Our dog Kai enjoyed every single second of his 10 day boarding stay with Rainier and Rosie. He could not be in better hands! Amazing service with great communication. The week before boarding, Kai had some discomfort on his back nail. Rainier is very caring and made me feel at ease before going on my trip. I would totally recommend Rainier and would love to consider him again in the future.

Rainier is great! Kai has had two doggy daycare days with him and Rosie and he always comes back really happy. Kai will be staying again with them in the future. Would 110% recommend.

Information Rainier R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's breed, age, and sex, to assist myself in preparation for a walk/sitting/etc.

A typical day

I enjoy going on walks with dogs, and depending on the breed and fitness of the dog, may also go on short hikes with the dog, as I stay near a trail head (Baden Powell & Brother's Creek). We'll also go walking along the seawall (where permitted) and frequent the amazing dog-friendly parks that Vancouver has to offer. I also love playing fetch with dogs, and will also assist with grooming if required.
