Walking a dog in Yaletown

Yaletown is two neighbourhoods stacked on top of each other. There is the old one, brick warehouses converted into lofts with loading docks that became patios, and there is the new one, glass towers along the water. Dogs live in both, and the walk out the door is different depending on which side you are on.

David Lam Park is the centre of gravity for most Yaletown dogs. It is big, it is flat, it sits right on False Creek, and it connects straight onto the seawall. George Wainborn Park next door is quieter and better on a busy afternoon. From either one you can walk east toward Science World or west toward the Burrard Bridge without ever leaving the water.

What makes Yaletown different from the rest of downtown is how much of the walk is shared. The seawall here carries cyclists, runners, e-scooters and a lot of foot traffic, and the separated bike lane is not always obeyed. For a dog who lunges at wheels, that matters. We use the park interiors and the quieter inland streets for those dogs, and save the seawall for early mornings.

What we do in Yaletown

Built around Yaletown schedules, which are rarely nine to five.

Dog walking. One-on-one, on-leash, through David Lam Park, George Wainborn Park or the seawall depending on the day and the dog.
In-home pet sitting. An hour, a day, overnight, or an extended stay in your own loft or suite.
Drop-in visits. A midday break for dogs whose people are downtown until seven.
1-on-1 daycare. Daycare without the kennel, in your pet's own home.
Cat care. A lot of Yaletown suites have cats rather than dogs. Feeding, litter, medication, play, and a proper look at how they are doing.
Home care on longer stays. Mail and parcels, plants, bins, bedding and towels.

Lofts, towers and the parcel problem

Yaletown buildings vary more than most. A converted warehouse might have a single street door, a slow freight lift and no concierge at all. A tower two blocks away has a 24-hour desk, a fob for the lift, and a parcel room that fills up over a long weekend.

We go through all of it at the free meet and greet: how we get in, where the keys live, who to speak to at the desk, and where your parcels end up. On longer stays we clear the parcel room and bring the mail up, because coming home to a week of deliveries piled at the door is a bad way to end a holiday.

The person you meet is the person who comes. Every caregiver meets you and your pet before they ever work with them, and one caregiver stays with your booking from start to finish.

Questions from Yaletown

Do you walk dogs in David Lam Park?

Yes, it is the default for most Yaletown dogs, along with George Wainborn Park next door. On busy afternoons we use the park interiors rather than the seawall, because the shared path gets crowded with bikes and scooters.

Can you look after cats in a Yaletown suite?

Yes. A good share of our Yaletown work is cats. Feeding, litter, medication, play, fresh water, and a proper look at how they are actually doing rather than a two-minute drop and dash.

What about my building fob and the parcel room?

We sort out fobs, codes, lift access, concierge instructions and the parcel room at the free meet and greet, before your first booking. On longer stays we bring the mail and parcels up.
