Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog owner helping other dog owners
I've cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, always treating them like my own, providing a calm presence, safe environment for them to roam freely, always keeping them on their routine and putting their needs first. My goal is to help your dog be comfortable and be someone you can trust your family member with. Understanding where a dog is in their life and what level of exericse they need, what type of mental stimulation they're looking for, or any type of health-related issues they're dealing with are things that I have dealt with before. No dog is the same, and they each require a tailored plan to meet the level of comfort they require to be happy and healthy. I will try to understand what your expectations are and not provide a one-size fits all solution. I've cared for dogs with issues like allergies, arthritis, mobility issues, even cancer. I'm also experienced in administering medication, treating skin conditions, special feeding instructions, preparing homemade dog food, natural joint care supplments and more.

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs in my care will be able to roam the house freely, or I can provide a crate if needed. I have a fenced backyard, and there is a park 50 metres aways plus more parks within 5 minutes walk from my home. I'll keep the dogs on their routine, feed them on time, socialize them with other neighbourhood dogs on our walks, and generally treat them like they belong to me — providing attention and care throughout the day. Dogs are part of my life and I want to be around them and understand who they are. I don't leave my dogs alone and do my own thing, they are always next to me and I'm always putting their needs before mine.
Ratings and reviews
Royce is one of Finn’s favourite people. He is kind and caring. Royce is patient when Finn has some extra energy to burn off and attentive when Finn wants some more pets. Finn always has a good time when he is with Royce.
We’ve known Royce for almost 30 years and have seen how he cares for dogs, including his own Elsa. Royce has helped us out on many occasions by walking our dog, even at times at the last minute in an emergency. Jack, our terrier, loves Royce! It is great to see the time and care Royce gives to Jack: walking him, playing with him, feeding him. Royce is someone who loves dogs and can be fully trusted. I’m very happy to give this testimonial.
Royce has a natural ability to connect with dogs and is incredibly in tune with their individual personalities, needs, and emotions. He is one of the most caring, attentive, and sensitive dog owners I know. Whenever he is around dogs, he is patient, gentle, and observant, and it’s clear that their well-being is always his priority. He is also very friendly and social, both with dogs and their owners, and has a wonderful way of making everyone feel comfortable. I highly recommend Royce as a dog walker. He is responsible, compassionate, attentive, and genuinely loves dogs. Any dog would be lucky to have Royce caring for them!
Royce Y, is one of those exceptional individuals who spread joy and warmth wherever he goes. His incredible smile can light up a room, and his passion for dogs is inspiring.

Schedule
I work from home and don't follow a fixed work schedule. I enjoy being outdoors and look forward to being away from screens. So any chance I get to be outside and walk is time that I enjoy taking for myself and any dogs in my care.

- All dogs have a little something that they need extra attention paid to. If they require medication or special treatment in any way, I'm happy to listen and take instruction from their humans. Let's keep in touch so that I can provide the best care.
