Welcome to
Smart Cookies Dog Walking

I know that letting someone else take care of your pet can be a difficult decision to make.  I have also struggled with family emergencies, vacation planning, and the day to day life stuff everyone has on their plate. So here's a little about me and my experience with dogs.

​

Over the years I've been very fortunate to have fostered & walked for a wonderful rescue that does amazing work out of Mexico. The dogs I've cared for will always hold a special place in my heart and I'm thankful to have spent time with each of them ...especially Hugo.

My shy & nervous little girl Perla came to us through them and we're forever grateful for her and our friendship with M & S.

​

My first dog was Cooper, a big yellow Lab. I remember picking him out of a litter of 12 pups and he kept crawling away from me to go back to sleep... I thought, that's my dog! We shared an amazing 15 years together. We had so many adventures backpacking & camping up and down Vancouver Island. He was also a regular fixture at my office and kept me (and others) company as we toiled away at work stuffs. 

​

Our newest addition is Sam! We haven't done his DNA yet but we think he's likely part Lab and part monster! Not really... maybe Dane?

He's also a rescue but he's from California. He's a big boy with a big heart who loves everyone.

 

 I've been privileged to share my life with some amazing dogs and I couldn't imagine my house feeling like a home without a dog to share it with. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

​

I'm not a trainer but have done training with my dogs over the years. If your dog needs training, and not walking, there are some great options in Victoria, that I'd be happy to share with you :)
