If you want to work or travel with peace of mind knowing your precious dog will be in good hands... then take 5 minutes to read this important message. It could simplify your life and make your dog healthy and happy...

Dear Dog Owner,

If you're like most dog owners, you just don't have enough time. Work...travel... family... all get in the way of giving your furry friend the quality time he/she deserves... I can make your life easier and stress-free by giving tender loving care to your K9.

I grew up in a mountain village in Switzerland, surrounded by all kinds of pets and livestock. The decision to go through an intensive 3 year apprenticeship was an easy one. Being around dogs means the world to me. I learned hands-on how to truly take care of dogs.

Now living in beautiful Vancouver, B.C. I have made my lifetime dream come true by working with dogs on a fulltime basis!

My company, Premium Dog Walking Services is licensed, bonded and insured. I'm also a member of the All Canadian Pet Services Network (ACPSN) and Pets Can Stay Travel Services.

"We consider our dogs important members of our family. Thank goodness there is someone like Christine (Premium Dog Walking Services) who sees things the same way! Gus having fun at Spanish Banks "Beyond being considerate, reliable, sensible and dedicated to the welfare of dogs Christine has always provided something that money can not buy- Peace of mind.  We can go out for a day or away for a few weeks and enjoy ourselves knowing that our dogs are being cared for in the secure environment of our own home, having a GREAT time, lots of exercise (as well as their usual quota of cuddles and treats). Christine’s dedication makes a great difference to us and our dogs and we would never hesitate to recommend her whole heartedly to anyone looking for a special person to care for their canine companions."      Kate Heath, Vancouver, B.C.

Why choose a dog walker?

"Giving the boys a good workout at the park."

How Do You Find The Perfect Dog Walker?

1. Experience... Would you trust your car to a mechanic who's never worked on an engine before? Of course not. Your dog is even more important, so choose someone who has been in the field for years... Personally, I have over 10 years of in-the-trenches experience working with dogs.

2. Passion... It really frustrates me when I see "dog walkers" who obviously just do it for the money. In my opinion, the #1 thing to look for in a dog walker is someone who LIVES FOR DOGS... And I do. All my friends, family and clients will tell you.

"If there's one person I would trust my dog's life with, it's Christine Meichssner. NO ONE... And I mean NO ONE, comes close to her level of passion and dedication when it comes to dogs. John Matterson - Business Owner

3. How Many Dogs Do They Have? This is a biggie... You'll see some dog walkers go around with armies of 6 or more dogs. I prefer to have no more than 4 dogs, that way your dog receives extra attention and care.

4. References... Why should you trust someone who can't even supply you with the names of a few happy clients?

5. Certifications and licences... Look for someone who has a business licence, is insured and bonded... and has a certificate such as my "Dog caretaker" certificate I got after 3 intensive years of on-site training in Switzerland.

I can help you take care of the daily task of walking your K-9. This will take some pressure off your already busy life, so you can come home and relax.

"I look forward to meeting you and your dog."
