We engage your dog on all levels!
Pet care experience
We have had dogs in our families for all of our respective lives. We've got experience with all types of temperaments, behaviours, needs, energy levels, and sizes. We are also involved with an animal rescue based out of Chilliwack, Carried Through Animal Rescue and both of our dogs have been rescued. They are our children and we love them dearly. We put a lot of effort into engaging them in the following areas: 1) Mentally stimulating areas in an attempt to assist in improving their day to day problem solving and passive vocabulary skills (so they can better understand what we ask of them, over time); 2) Emotionally calm and balanced areas in an attempt to assist with improving their general anxiety levels and promoting calmer states of mind for both our pups (over time this can also help improve things like separation anxiety, fearful or insecurity-based defensiveness, etc.); and 3) Physical level... because we all recognize the importance and benefits of ensuring our puppies are thoroughly exercised every day! This is how we view and take care of / engage our puppies... Yours will NOT be treated any differently, and that's our promise! We promote healthy, happy puppies on all three levels: Mentally, Emotionally and Physically! We are typically available all day, Monday through Sunday, and try to accommodate any and all requests/situations (in and where possible); we understand life happens. We have access to plenty of parks, including enclosed off leash parks that would be plenty of fun for all! Our two dogs are extremely gentle natured and love to play with pups of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. We are experienced in administering medication and taking into account your dog's special needs, be it physical or psychological, and we will, of course, make them a priority during your pup's stay with us, as it should be! Your pups will have a great time with us, we guarantee it! Just don't be surprised if they don't want to go back home at the end of their stay, hehe.
Reviews
Bruno had a great time!
Stephen is a very caring and careful dog sitter. I have a dog rescue, and not only has he adopted dogs in need for his own family, but he has fostered (and continues to foster) several rescue dogs for me as well when needed. He has genuine concern about providing the best experience for each particular dog. He knows many of the special needs dogs can have, from housetraining to shyness to overabundance of energy to resource guarding, and will do right for each dog.
Stephen responds quickly to a request for dog sitting. He was genuinely interested in my pup's needs were met. He provided great updates with pics and videos throughout the stay. Zoey loved Stephen from start. Stephen is caring and loving to all dogs and a great addition to any dog family. I would not hesitate to bring Zoey to Stephen again in fact we already booked for another stay.
They were super friendly and accommodating to my dog loki. And helped me out in a pinch last minute. Great people!
