Personalized care for your dog or cat - Salmo

“I felt completely at ease leaving our new pups with Jessica. They got loads of care & attention and walks. It was our new puppy’s first weekend away and I was so glad for him to have such a positive experience. I’m sure he will be looking forward to going back!”

“We (and our dog) LOVE Natasha. Our dog didn't just get boarded, he went on pup-cation with her! He came back home rested and content. I don't even think he missed us to be honest. She sent us lots of photos and videos while we were away and we really appreciated that. She took such good care of our baby and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

Samantha B.

“I couldn’t believe how easily my dog warmed up to Mia and Jacob. She did even cry when I said goodbye! She certainly created a safe and loving atmosphere for my dogs first weekend with a babysitter away from home. Highly recommend!”

“Chili had a blast with Leigh-Ann and team. We got regular photo and video updates and a very tired dog when we returned (which is not an easy feat). Thanks Leigh-Ann :-)”

About: Hi! I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) with 15 years of experience caring for pets, and I absolutely love what I do! 🐾 I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. With my veterinary background, I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including seniors, pets with medical needs, and those who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behaviour or health and making sure your pet receives the attentive care they deserve. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their usual routine, and give them plenty of affection and companionship. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as if they were my own. ❤️ With 15 years of veterinary experience and a genuine love for animals, you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands! I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer pet care outside of my regular work hours. I’m available for evening visits after work and throughout the entire weekend, making it easy to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate their feeding, medications, playtime, walks, and other care needs whenever possible. With my flexible schedule and 15 years of experience as an RVT, I’m able to provide attentive, dependable care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are in experienced and caring hands. 🐾❤️ I offer flexible pet care both in my home and in your home, depending on what is most comfortable and appropriate for your pet. With 15 years of experience as an RVT, I’m especially comfortable caring for pets with medical or special care needs, including administering medications, monitoring health and behaviour, and following individualized care instructions. I understand that some pets need a little extra attention, patience, and consistency to feel their best. For dogs, I offer personalized walks and one-on-one attention based on their energy level, routine, and individual needs. For cats, I focus on calm, visits where they can receive dedicated attention, playtime, feeding, litter care, medication when needed, and plenty of affection, while always respecting their personality and boundaries. Whether your pet needs a simple check-in or more specialized care, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I also offer simple grooming care, including nail trims, for an additional fee. These services can be discussed and arranged based on your pet’s needs and comfort level.

“Professional, knowledgeable, and quality care for our dog! This isn't your average dog boarding- Roberta provided a loving and safe environment for my large dog (90 lbs), in her home. She requested key info on my dog's feeding, health and behaviour, and provided updates and pics almost every day during our dog's boarding. So grateful our dog was not lonely and so well looked after!”

“With no experience with Rover I can state our dog was well cared for in a family environment over a two day overnight stay. I highly recommend.”

“Quinn was a great dogsitter. She communicated easily and often and assured me, especially in the first day or two, that my dog was doing great. I would not hesitate to hire Quinn again to take care of my dog.”

“Thank you Ivy for taking care of Milo. It was great to get the update and the pictures. Thanks for traveling to my acreage!”

About: Important thing about looking after cats is to let them dictate what they’re comfortable with. Some cats want love and some cats want space.

“We LOVED our time at Jessica’s! Hatcher was immediately considered family and went on all the best walks to sniff all the things on the trails. And when he wasn’t playing outside he was doing his favorite activity, snuggling!! Thank you and see you next winter!!!”

Pam S.

“Josh was great with Teddy! He came home happy and tired from playing all day. Thanks Josh!:)”

About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, hedgehogs and even big animals too. I worked as a small animal veterinary technician as well as a dog rehabilitative carer to help them transition into adoption and foster care after coming from hard and difficult lives. I absolutely love and am passionate about animals and would be so excited to help you out! I work 10-5 from Sunday to Thursday most days, so sometimes it is hard for me to get away from work within that time range, however I am completely flexible otherwise and can even leave work during my lunch to do a quick drop in! I care for them as if they are my own but also respect each owner’s preferences when it comes to the care of their animal. I will pet them, love them and care for them like they are mine- which means taking time for them, being patient, and loving them. I also follow whatever regimen or structures the owners have set in place!

About: I've cared for my family's 2 sheepadoodles for 8 years, and consistently watch a cute little chihuahua who loves to play frisbee. I don't have experience in dogs with special needs, but I do have a highly flexible schedule for people that need pet care. I work for myself at home, and can work from anywhere if need be. I love going for walks, and am happy to take your pet out any time of the day. I work completely from home and for myself, so I have no schedule constraints and am available most of the time. I am about as flexible as it gets! I don't have a fenced yard, so pets in my home go for a couple walks. If you have a fenced yard, I throw balls and frisbees till your pet can't go anymore!

About: My goal for your dog while they are staying is for her to feel safe and comfortable. I am able to work with the routine your dog currently has and hopefully make her stay with me feel comfortable but also like a vacation. I’ve had my own dogs for over 15 years and understand how unique and special each one is. I’ve cared for senior dogs and most recently a puppy. I work from home during the week so your dog will have company. Depending on your dog’s exercise requirements, I am able to walk your dog before and after work and at lunch. On the weekends, I usually plan an outing such as a hiking, swimming, or visiting a local park. I have a 1 1/2 year old Labrador retriever who is extremely friendly and would love the company of another dog. I also have a cat. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to play, relax in the sun and for easy bathroom breaks. I’d like to work with you to customize a plan for your dog’s care while she is staying with me

“Thanks for taking good care of Maya and Charlie!”

Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding, I’ll provide reliable care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home several days a week, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and a clean, pet-friendly home.

“Ivy has been great, would highly recommend.”

About: I've taken care of my family dog many times. I've also taken care of my friends' pets including cats and puppies. I am reliable and keep a clean and tidy place. I love walking dogs, no matter the weather. I am a full-time teacher so during the week I am pretty busy and have limited time, but I love going hiking and running on the weekends, so I am happy to dogsit over the weekends or on holidays! I am very reliable and organized. I am attentive to the pets' needs and am great at communication with clients. Your pets will be well cared for with me :) I live in an apartment, but it is very easy to step outside, and there is the Mission Creek trail that is a few minutes walk away from my place.

About: I have always had pets… dogs, cats, llamas, iguanas to parrots and toucans and loved and spoiled them all passionately! You can relax while away, knowing your pet is content and cared for in the most loving way possible. I do prefer dogs to be 60 pounds or less. I am retired with lots of time to walk and play with your pets . I am live rurally, surrounded by nature, with a river at the back of my acreage and a rail/trail out front. I live on acreage. While your pet(s) is staying with me, he/she would always be leashed outside for walks. Inside however, my home would be their home and there'll be lots of cuddles and interaction.

“We (and our dog) LOVE Natasha. Our dog didn't just get boarded, he went on pup-cation with her! He came back home rested and content. I don't even think he missed us to be honest.
