Paws & Provinces Our story
We're Shaun and Tilly, and we have been travelling across Canada together each summer since 2024.
On the road together since 2024How it started
Paws & Provinces began with a simple idea: document some of the experiences we have while travelling across the country, and share the places that make it easier to bring your dog along.
Canada is full of remarkable roads, cities, trails and small surprises. Experiencing them with Tilly changes how I travel. We stop more often, spend more time outside and notice places we might otherwise have passed by.
These guides are our field notes from the road. They are a record of where we have been, what we found and the practical details we would want to know before arriving with a dog.
Meet the travellers
I plan the routes, document our stops and turn the useful things we learn along the way into these guides.
Tilly sets the pace, finds the best places to stop and reminds me that the journey matters as much as the destination.
What guides us
Our notes come from places we have experienced together, not generic lists assembled from a distance.
Dog policies, trail conditions and patio arrangements can determine whether a stop works. We record what matters.
Every summer adds another stretch of road and another chapter to the story.
