My dog ate a door… and it wasn’t because he was bad ⬇️

When I adopted Mylo, I thought I was getting a loyal, goofy sidekick- and I did. But I also brought home a dog with deep, invisible wounds who couldn't be left alone without going full destruction mode.

I tried crate training but he did more self harm than anything.
Leaving him loose? He’d tear down curtains, have accidents, and claw the wall beside the door. A scented sweater, dog calming treats, music- you name it.

Then I tried leaving him in my empty guest room while at work…

The dog walker showed up… to no door 🚪

Mylo had chewed through the entire thing. Not out of mischief, but out of sheer panic. He wasn’t being “bad”, he was traumatized and just wanted to feel safe.

Dog anxiety is REAL and far more common than people think, especially in rescues.

Signs include:
🐾 Destructive behaviour
🐾 Pacing, drooling, accidents
🐾 Escape attempts
🐾 Crying, shaking, howling

Rescue dogs often carry trauma. They’re not “cheap alternatives.” They’re healing souls.

What helped Mylo wasn’t discipline, it was understanding.
✅ Building trust
✅ Creating structure
✅ Patience (a lot of it)
✅ Finding tools that gave me peace of mind too

💛 A portion of every PetRoam purchase is donated to the SPCA.
Because these dogs don’t just need collars…
They need someone to believe in them.

That’s why PetRoam exists , not just to sell collars, but to protect these dogs in every sense. My AirTag collars are designed to keep them safe physically, and with every purchase, I give back to the SPCA to help dogs find homes where they’re safe emotionally too.

If you’ve got a Mylo, or a Nova, or a four-legged tornado of anxiety and love, you’re not alone.

🖤 PetRoam is for them.

📍 AirTag collars built for escape artists, adventurers, and anxious hearts.

🐾 And every purchase gives back to the rescue world that gave me my best friends.

Thank you for being part of their second chance 🐕✨

Okay… can we just take a moment for this beauty? 😍

The black Martingale AirTag collar is sleek, strong, and seriously reliable… basically everything I need when I’m out with my own dogs (aka professional bolters 😂)

If you’ve got a pup who pulls, slips out of collars, or just likes to test your patience on walks (no judgment, Nova taught me everything I know), this design is a game changer!! The martingale style tightens gently when needed, so no harsh yanks or choking- just smooth, safe control 💛

And of course, it wouldn’t be PetRoam without an AirTag pocket built right in! 📍📱

Okay - storytime 📖✨

Buckle up friends, because Nova’s Greatest Escapes™ deserve their own Netflix series and here is part 1 🎥🐺✨
___
As some of you know, I am a shift worker and that means working for 12 hours at a time. During shifts I always have someone go let out the doggies, feed them, etc.

One day, when I was still living in Yellowknife, my phone dings mid shift and its my dog walker:
📱 “Is this Nova on the lost dog page?”
(Spoiler: this wasn’t even shocking anymore, she was basically a local celebrity on there 😅)

Me, confidently:
📱 “No, she’s at home locked inside the house!”

But then, because if anyone could prove me wrong, it was Nova, I decided to check her location from her collar just in case.

SHE WAS ACROSS TOWN 🤯🤦🏻‍♀️

Y’all. This absolute lunatic broke THROUGH the window screen I cracked open for a little fresh air (because I’m a good, thoughtful dog mom, okay??) and just yeeted herself out of the house like it was a casual Tuesday adventure.

The window wasn’t even low to the ground.

We’re talking full wrecking ball moment, dust off, and hit the road kinda energy 🐺💨

Luckily, our AMAZING dog walker, who we miss more than words, immediately jumped into superhero mode and went on a mission to rescue my runaway pup 🏃🏻‍♀️ She found Nova, snatched her up, and brought her home while I was stuck at work still processing the fact that my dog just escaped through a window and thinking: “What is my life?!”
___

THIS. This is why I built PetRoam.

When you’ve got a pup like Nova, you need gear that’s escape-artist tested, off-leash adventure approved, and built to survive absolute nonsense.

Because escapes don’t just happen from the yard...apparently, they happen right out your window too 😂🐾

Tell me your dog is your best adventure buddy without telling me your dog is your best adventure buddy... 🌾🐾

Nova lives for wide open fields, sunshine on her fur, and sniffing every single blade of grass like it holds the secrets of the universe 😂💛 She’s the reason PetRoam exists, because if there’s one thing this girl taught me, it’s that freedom should be safe and exploring should never come with limits.

Whether you’re trail trekking, lake lounging, or just wandering your neighbourhood with a coffee in hand, adventure is out there. And your pup? They’re ready! So get roaming without the worry! 🐕✨

PetRoam is designed for all your off-leash adventures so you can explore confidently and come home with nothing but good memories (and maybe a few muddy paws 🤫🐾)

This quote stuck with me today ⤵️
“You may not have saved the whole world, but you saved one. And that’s enough.” 🐾✨

Okay, cue the tears 😭 Because wow...this hit home today. I looked over at Mylo curled up beside me, his head on my lap like he’s always belonged there, and it just got me.

There’s a bond I have with him that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully explain.

It’s in the way he looks at me, like I’m his whole world. Like he remembers what it felt like to be scared and alone, and he’s still amazed he doesn’t have to feel that way anymore.

This dog has been through so much. He came into my life with fear in his eyes, unsure if love was real or if safety was something he’d ever know. And now? He’s my shadow, my snuggle buddy, my reminder that healing is possible 🫶🏼

Mylo has been with me through the hardest days and the slow healing ones. Through the worst time in my entire life, through heartbreak that shattered me to my very core, through starting over, through building something new from scratch. And no matter what life has thrown at me, he's just been there. Through the quiet moments of rock bottom. Through the numbness. Through the lonely nights where the silence was louder than anything I’d ever heard. The days I begged the world to stop spinning so I could catch my breath. He was there, with his steady love, his goofy little grin, and his never-ending cuddles.

It’s more than just dog and owner. It’s something deeper. We’ve walked through fire together. We’ve held each other up. And I think some part of him knows that he saved me just as much as I saved him.

He’s not just a dog. He’s my person. In a fur coat, with four legs, and the biggest heart I’ve ever known. 💛

It’s easy to feel like we’re not doing enough. That there’s too much heartbreak out there. But this reminded me that saving even one life, giving one dog a second chance, is a beautiful kind of enough.

Ever wonder what it takes to set up a market booth?

👉🏼 Swipe through to see it all:
1️⃣ The setup hustle
2️⃣ Final checks, making sure everything is properly tagged, priced, and sized 🎀
3️⃣ & 4️⃣ Booth views & content shooting ✨
5️⃣ Excited and ready to meet you guys!! 📸
6️⃣ The teardown grind 😤
7️⃣ That car-packed-to-the-roof shot (it’s like a game of Tetris every time) 🚙
8️⃣ And my favorite part: cuddling Mylo after a long, happy day, swapping market clothes for comfies and putting on a good show with my best snuggle partner 🐕🤗

Every market is different, which keeps things fun… and occasionally a little chaotic 😅

You never quite know what you’re walking into. Different cities, different crowds, different setups…but the biggest wildcard?

The unloading zones.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever carried a couple of 50lb racks up stairs before 9am 🙋🏻‍♀️ Because that was us this show!

Surprise, this market setup involved hauling every bin, rack, and display up some stairs to get into the building 🥲

My mom and I basically crushed a morning workout before the booth was even built 😂🏋🏻‍♀️

And speaking of, while I’m technically a one-woman business, I never head to markets alone!

Between the early mornings, long drives, packing the car, unloading, carrying everything in, setting up, and then doing it all over again after a full day- having an extra set of hands makes it not just possible, but keeps it fun. I’m incredibly lucky to be able to bring my mom to shows, I couldn’t do it without her help!

⸻

It’s A LOT of work, but these days truly fill my heart!! 💛

Meeting new dog parents, hearing about your pups, and seeing people light up when they find the perfect collar or leash is what keeps me chasing this little dream 🫶🏼

Especially when I get to see your dogs rocking them and looking absolutely adorable!! 🤗

Next market: no stairs, PLEASE 🙏🏻 😂

10 million.

It’s a number that breaks my heart and one of the biggest reasons PetRoam exists.

When I adopted Nova, I learned very quickly that I’d brought home a full-blown escape artist. Like, “dig under the fence and scale it for good measure” kind of escape artist 😅

That anxiety of “what if she gets out again?” "how much luck left before something bad happens when she's out?" is something I never want another pet parent to feel. That’s why I created AirTag collars designed for real dogs- the ones who leap, run, roll, and roam 🌎🐕

PetRoam collars are tough, secure, and made to keep your adventurous pup tracked and safe, no matter where their paws take them 🐾

Because our dogs deserve to explore with freedom and we deserve peace of mind while they do 💛

Let’s bring that number down, together.
