** We live in a cozy apartment just a quick 10 min. drive from YVR Airport, making drop-offs and pick-ups incredibly convenient for travelling pet parents! **

PET WEIGHT/SIZE PREFERENCE:

📢 A little note for pet parents: I typically care for dogs up to 10kg, as my experience and home are best suited for smaller pups. Pawshake currently doesn’t offer an option for dogs up to 10kg, so I’ve selected the 8-18kg range as the closest available option. Please note that my actual maximum weight is 10kg.

PET CARE EXPERIENCE:

Hello! I’m Catherine, a passionate dog lover with over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs belonging to family and friends. I also have a dog named Summer. She is 2 years old and a Bichon-Shih Tzu mix. She’s very friendly and always excited to meet new dogs. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me.

SCHEDULE:

I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on your pup throughout the day and give them lots of attention, companionship, and care. I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and following each dog's usual schedule to help them feel relaxed and at home.

SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT:

Our building is secure and quiet, perfect for dogs who prefer a calm environment without the stress of a busy household, for a comfortable stay here.

A TYPICAL DAY ROUTINE:

I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy! At home, I have a few interactive brain toys and enrichment puzzles that help provide mental stimulation, and your pup is welcome to enjoy them alongside my dog, Summer. We go on three walks a day.. a morning and afternoon walk that each last at least 25 minutes or so, plus a shorter 10 mins. walk before bedtime. I like to switch up our routes so we're not walking in the same area every time, giving the dogs new sights, smells, and places to explore. On nice days, we may visit a nearby beach, explore a dog-friendly mini trail, or check out different parks around the neighborhood. Between walks, there will be plenty of supervised playtime, cuddle breaks, and downtime so your pup stays happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day.

INFORMATION I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR PET:

Before accepting a booking for boarding and doggy day care, I’d like to know your dog’s vet information, behaviour, personality, and anything else I should be aware of to make sure I can provide the best care possible.
