PetRoam

10/28/2025

It’s been a while since I’ve posted!! Life got a little busy (okay..a lot busy 😅). As most of you know, I do shift work, and I recently moved to be closer to work 📦🏠

Life has been a different kind of busy lately. Between long shifts, moving into my own place, and trying to find balance in between it all, most days have felt like a blur.

I’ve realized that adventure isn’t just in the big things like road trips, mountain views, or getaways. It’s in the little moments too; walking the dogs after a long shift, finding where the light hits just right in a new home, decorating one corner at a time until it starts to feel like yours.

Adventure lives in the everyday, in the changes, the new routines, the quiet courage it takes to keep going when life looks different than you thought it would. Some days it feels peaceful, other days it feels heavy. But I’ve learnt that both can exist at once.

New beginnings are hard and I’ve always struggled with change, but still, there’s something kind of beautiful about it. About finding your own rhythm, building a space that’s yours, and knowing you’re capable of doing hard things. In realizing that you’re doing it, even when you thought you couldn’t.

In a way, that is what PetRoam was built from, the idea that adventure lives in every part of life, even the still chapters that aren’t about where you go. Whether it’s moving across the country, walking your dogs in a new neighbourhood, or just figuring out what “home” means again… sometimes it’s about finding comfort right where you are and learning to live it worry free 💛

We all love our dogs to the moon and back, right?! But regular collars are just not enough anymore.

Let’s dive into three reasons why it’s time to level up to PetRoam’s AirTag collars- because your pup deserves the best!! 🐾
___

1️⃣ They Can’t Help in an Emergency
We’ve all had that uh-oh moment when your dog takes off in a panic or gets spooked by something. Regular collars can’t help you track them down fast when every second counts. PetRoam collars give you instant location tracking, so you’ll always be ready to act quickly and reunite with your pup- no stress 📱📍
___

2️⃣ They Don’t Help with Training or Recall
Training your dog to come when called (especially off leash) is tough enough. Regular collars don’t make it easier. But with a PetRoam AirTag collar, you can track your dog’s movements, making it way easier to reinforce their training. Plus, no more worrying about where they’re headed! Training made simple ✨
___

3️⃣ They Don’t Provide Peace of Mind While Traveling
Whether you’re off on a weekend getaway or on vacation, we all want our dogs safe and sound, especially in new places. A regular collar just doesn’t give you the security you need. But with PetRoam, you can track your dog from anywhere, giving you total peace of mind while you’re off on your next adventure 🌍✈️

Ready to upgrade your pup’s safety and get that peace of mind? PetRoam’s AirTag collars are here to make sure your dog is always safe and sound, no matter where you are. Because when it comes to our dogs, we want the very best!!

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.
