Pawz Unleashed

Tanya is by far one of the most animal loving, kind, organized and caring people I have ever met. She looks after our Cooper with such care and attention we feel SPOILED! He is loved and looked after as if it were us. Highly recommend the service offered.

Tanya is simply the BEST. I can go on and on about how she’s great.
As a new pet owner I was very nervous about leaving my puppy with anyone while I went on vacation and the last thing i wanted was to constantly worry about him while i was away. Since he had a couple of bad habits (like jumping and being protective of his things) that we were still trying to eliminate, i didn’t know if people would react to him.
Tanya was great! She was warm and patient among many other things and I knew my puppy was in great hands. While i was on vacation she would constantly update me on how he was doing and everyday i would get photos and videos. She also worked on his training and after only 2 weeks of staying with her, you could see a noticeable great change in his behaviour.
I would recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a dog walker/​sitter in a heartbeat and will for sure have her take care of my puppy the next time I have to leave him, I would say i trust her with my puppy more than family.

Tanya is warm, knowledgable, conscientious, and skilled with dogs.
I’ve tried several dog walkers and have had experiences ranging from really good (but with difficult drawbacks like being a pushover for the dogs or not having a cell phone in case of emergency on walks), to the truly terrible (I had a dog walker many years ago — who is well-​rated here on Unilocal,BTW — who, while I was vacationing, lost my dog on the North Shore, never called me, and simply gave up looking for him after four hours!).
In contrast, I love everything about Tanya and her employees. They are kind and gentle with my very excitable dog, while offering training on pick-​up to help him learn how to be calm when greeting people. They send photos of him with the other dogs, romping happily, sniffing, and just generally enjoying himself, which makes me feel at ease.
I would happily recommend Pawz Unleashed to other dog lovers.
Oh, and I live near Commercial Drive; although she’s identified as a Coquitlam-​based business, she is actually located in Easst Van, and just walks the dogs in Coquitlam (it’s a great walk, too).
