Arf’n Annie Pet Nanny

Anne is great and although her and I don’t cross paths, I know my dog is well taken care of. She’s helped our dog transition from a small town lifestyle to the big city as her visits have given him the individual care and attention that he needs. If he’s been a bit down she lets me know right away and offers great advice if something is wrong.
My dog is very outgoing and well known in our neighbourhood and the fact that more than 4 neighbours have told me that I made a great choice for a dog walker speaks for itself.

I had my dog in a doggy daycare for two years before I moved to Vancouver which was OK but he seem to come home with minor injuries that couldn’t be explained or that no one noticed. I also tried adventure walks which were great for my guy to run up the mountains with his doggy friends but again he came home sometimes with injuries that just couldn’t be explained or that weren’t noticed. I contacted Anne through a friend’s recommendation. As my guy is getting a little older now, he loves walking around his neighbourhood and Anne is a perfect fit — she is super attentive and always let’s me know if anything changes in my guy’s behaviour or if there is a limp or anything. That is really important to me — that I know someone is completely focused on my dog and not with a bunch of other dogs. Anne’s been walking my dog for three years now. She always communicates with me, she lets me know about any changes, and I love hearing from our neighbours when they see her and my dog walking by. I totally recommend her.

Unfortunately, we were rather unimpressed with this service. Not only did our dog not get enough exercise (as was clear at the end of each day when he whined to go out for another walk), we also were told by neighbours that he was walked for only half the time we were paying for. Very disappointing.
