Welcome Charish, our newest Walker & pet sitter to the Gemstone Dogs team 💎!
🐾 Charish is from Cole Harbour where she grew up an animal lover with her grandparent’s family black lab Cloe. From a young age she was volunteering at whatever doggy day care would take the help, and has experience in a variety of settings, from shelters to clinics. She holds a diploma in Corrections and Law Enforcement where she previously worked in the security field. However, she has decided to return to school in the new year to take a Vet Technician program in honour of her Kitty, Theodore who she lost in 2023 to crystals. In her spare time you can find her playing with her Golden Retriever Winnie, Chihuahua Chewy and Kitten Eeyore. She looks forward to meeting you & your fur babies! Welcome, Charish.

As much as we would love to take on more gems, we have no space to accommodate any additional boards, or take on any new walking clients for the remainder of 2023! We are still accepting new boarding clients for dates in 2024, and can add those wanting to join for walking services to our waitlist.

We are incredibly grateful that in just under 2 years, we are booking to capacity. A sincere thank you to our current clients, past clients and anyone who has followed along on this journey, recommended us to a friend, or helped get our name out there. We couldn’t have done this without you!

If you would like to be added to the waitlist for walking, or are interested in boarding in 2024, please email [email protected].

We are absolutely heartbroken for the families who have lost their homes and their pets amidst the tragic wildfires this weekend. This is very close to our hearts as I grew up in Hammonds Plains and our family has been evacuated. Although we are full for boarding and cannot offer space, we will be collecting donations for the amazing and brave teams and organizations that have been set up to rescue and house pets - they are in need of dog/cat food & treats, water, financial support and volunteers. We will be collecting donations this week to go to and the teams set up in Bedford and Tantallon, and . DM me to arrange pick up/drop off of donations.

Meet Taylor - Gem Leader & Owner of Gemstone Dogs
Taylor has been dog walking professionally since January of 2022, after leaving her government job for a much more fun one where she gets to be in nature and hang out with some really cool pups every day. She named the business after her own beloved dogs, Ruby, a sassy 3 year old golden retriever, and Opal, a 6 month old, three-pound chihuahua mix. Not only are they the loves of her life, they are an integral part of the business - from joining on walks to welcoming your pups to our home for sleepovers. They are both featured in this photo, along with another one of our gemstones, Scully.
