A Dog's Perspective on East Van Living

According to Rover, local dog sitter Vidhi G., is a star dog-sitter and she says Commercial Drive is a "super pet-friendly community." It's one of the best in the city, with "access to so many dog off-leash areas, parks, and fields, it’s impossible for your dog to get bored." For those seeking pet-friendly apartments in Vancouver, Eastward offers a vibrant lifestyle for both two-legged and four-legged residents.

Vidhi highlights the ease of living with pets here: "You can create a whole routine for your dog’s best life, whether it’s walking down wide sidewalks, playtime in parks, playtime with other dogs and exploring sights and school playgrounds during non-school hours." The neighbourhood also boasts a growing number of "independent pet shops and groomers in the area." If you're traveling, Vidhi notes, you'll "always find someone (like herself) nearby to take care of your car or your furbabies."

The Best Walks and Parks in the Neighbourhood

When asked about their favourite dog walking route, Rover suggests, "One of my favorite route is walking down to Powell and then Wall Street. Making a stop at Wall Street Park for a quick play or a long walk to Burrard View Park for off leash playtime, and then ending the long adventure with treats from Dog Digg’s Cafe and Begin or Barking Babies pet clothing store. Lots of trails, paths, and dogs."

These endless opportunities for adventure mean that choosing Eastward rental homes gives your dog a happy and healthy life.
