My name is Bibby Graham and I have a lifelong love of caring for animals, especially dogs and horses/ponies. My services include dog walking and dog sitting. I also do overnight dog sitting, however I provide this service only for existing dog walking and daytime dog sitting clients.

I live in Smithers and I offer my dog walking services in Smithers only.

For my daytime dog sitting and overnight dog sitting services, I offer these in both Smithers and Telkwa. In the summer months I offer my services in Candle Lake, Saskatchewan.

For the past 16 years I have been caring for animals during my house sitting employment opportunities.

I have completed a Level 1 Dog Training course with Amber Cottle at the
International Academy of Canine Trainers .

I have also taken basic dog training courses from Noel Pepin, Canine Dog Behaviour Specialist, Prince George, and attended a Canine Clinic taught by Christine Kisser, Coach & Master Obedience Dog Trainer, Mission.

I would love to care for your family friend. I have lots of experience dog walking and dog sitting. I take my own dog Zara on daily hikes in the Bulkley Valley.

When working or caring for your dog, I use positive reinforcement methods and I do not use aggressive techniques.  Most dogs can be worked with using positive reinforcement.

I will decline to take on dogs who pose a high safety risk.
