Adventure Walks & Play Exploring Hamilton & Beyond

Service

Does your dog love being out in nature? Do they love the off-leash life? Sign your pup up for our monthly excursions to fun locations!

PVPC’s pack play and hike service was introduced to offer pups some extra fun to their routine! Join us for monthly excursions to exciting locations in the Hamilton area for either explorative nature hikes or off-leash play sessions at parks.

We know it can be challenging to expose your dog to new experiences with a busy schedule, and that’s where this service comes in! It’s the perfect experience for pups that need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life and just want to let loose to romp and play with their fellow canines.

They’re extremely professional and organized.
PVPC came highly recommended by our precious dog walker. Winnie, our Rhodesian Ridgeback has been on the PVPC roster for 3 years now and the entire team is now part of our extended family. Jaclyn and Selena keep open lines of communication and send timely updates on all of Winnie’s activities.

I’ve recommended their service to everyone!
They have taken amazing care of my George since the moment they’ve met him! George’s best days are days he gets to spend with his pals at Pawsitive. Selena took George for his first weekend away from us, and he didn’t even want to come home! Goes to show how much he loves her.

Pawsitive vibes is the place to send your social dog!
Dean loves being able to play with all his pals and the pickup and drop off is so nice and easy! Jaclyn is very communicative and Dean loves her and Selena so very much. The cost is 100% worth it as Dean comes home and and exhausted from his day!

We are so grateful to PVPC, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone
We have had the absolute best experience with Jaclyn and Selena from PVPC, who have been walking our Shepsky, Clover, since she was 5 months old. Clover is a big girl, full of energy and is still working on her manners - Jaclyn and Selena have been so kind and patient. 💕
Rosie Hales
A truly incredible team who really love and respect dogs!
My pup is obsessed with Jaclyn and Selena, along with all of the dogs she meets. They send a little report after each walk, or day of boarding that let's you know how it went (and often very cute pictures are included). It's been so great to have reliable care for my dog.

It has helped so much with her behaviour at home!
Jaclyn and Selena have been walking Coco for about 9 months and she absolutely adores them. I started her on pack walks to help build her confidence and get some socialization and it has helped so much with her behaviour at home! I couldn't recommend their services enough.

Does PVPC provide services for clients outside their radius?
At this time we only serve the Hamilton core, Ancaster and Stoney Creek for dog walking and pet visits. We definitely invite clients from outside our service area for daycare and boarding, yet we do not offer pick up/drop off.
