Comprehensive Canine Bodywork, Massage & Rehabilitation Support in Vancouver

Soul Paws offers rehab-informed walks and supportive pet sitting designed with the whole dog in mind — especially aging dogs, those recovering from injury, or dogs who benefit from a quieter, more intentional pace. Forest walks take place on soft, uneven terrain that is naturally gentler on joints while encouraging balance, coordination, and sensory engagement through rich smells, varied textures, and fresh forest air. These environments are known to be calming for the nervous system and allow dogs to move at their own rhythm rather than being rushed.

Each walk or visit is guided by the same principles used in bodywork sessions: observation, responsiveness, and respect for the dog’s physical and emotional state. When appropriate, guardians are also offered simple guidance to help support their dog’s comfort, confidence, and daily routines between sessions — creating continuity between movement, care, and rest.
