Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tofino

“We left our pups with Artem for the day. We have never left them in a place they don't know with someone they have never met, but they were well cared for. Artem sent photos of walks, rest time and time on the beach. They were happy and seemed to have had a great day. Thanks, Artem!”

“Leah and fam were fantastic! She kept our doggo Cai company for a day while we had family matters. I always know Cai had a good time when he's reluctant to leave the sitter's place. Leah was friendly, great with Cai, adapted to our schedule, and had excellent communication!”

About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’m available starting October 1st 2025 ,I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14 starting with my own two Labradors and then extending that love to friends’ and family’s pups over the years. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. Whether it’s daily walks, bath time, or cuddle breaks, I offer a loving, attentive experience that feels just like home. I’m also in process of completing my Pet First Aid Certification to provide the safest, most professional care possible. Now based in beautiful Yaletown, I’m excited to offer Doggy Daycare from my pet-friendly condo, where your dog can enjoy cozy naps, enrichment play, and personalized attention in a calm, clean space. I keep the group small to make sure every pup gets one-on-one care. I’m passionate about building lasting bonds with every fur guest and giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is in caring, capable hands. Whether it’s for a day or an overnight stay, your dog’s comfort and happiness come first. Please always check in about the service price with me as you might be seeing it with a booking fee added 🐶 First-time booking? Use my code SAMIKB76806 at checkout for a little discount! I was working from home, considering going full-time on Rover and living in Yaletown, so it’s very convenient for me to schedule daily and weekly visits for the fur babies in downtown, especially. •Provide them with regular exercise, such as daily walks or playtime. •Feed them a balanced diet with appropriate portions according to their age and size. •Ensure they always have access to fresh water. •Regularly groom them by brushing their fur, trimming nails, and cleaning ears. •Schedule regular visits to the veterinarian for check-ups and necessary vaccinations. •Set up a comfortable and safe living space, including a cozy bed and toys for entertainment. •Train them using positive reinforcement methods to ensure good behavior and obedience. •Spend quality time with them by engaging in activities they enjoy.

About: I've had dogs in my life for the last twenty years and absolutely loved being a dog mom. Recently our family dog crossed the rainbow bridge and we are looking to connect with other dogs. We love animals and look forward to cuddling yours. I will treat your pet like one of our own - lots of snuggles, walks and treats! I work from home as a freelance contractor. I have plenty of time during the day and on weekends to spend with your pet. Walks rain or shine! We have an animal friendly home and yard. Dogs will be kept on leash while out on walks. Please pack any favourite toys or treats so we can make sure your pet is comfortable.

“Amazing job! Took such great care of my cats and would absolutely recommend to anyone who is going away. I got lots of updates and he let me know when he was there and was very communicative.”

About: Hello, I'm Leah and I've been fortunate to live for 20 years on Tla-o-qui-aht territory. I got to share over 14 of those beautiful years with my faithful companion, Daisy. We lost our beloved girl to old age early this year. So, we are for the time being a family with no dog. I'm offering dog care and walking to locals and visitors to Tofino. We live in a house with a big yard, near the field and trails in town. We have a memory foam dog bed with a washable cover and we can accommodate one dog at a time for overnight stays at our house. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home. I can offer dog care any time of day, let me know about your needs. I will keep your pet on a leash while we get to know each other. I will discuss the amount and types of treats you're OK with. I'm happy to listen to your unique circumstances and customize care.

About: Walking just isn’t the same without a smiley goof by your side. Life time of experience walking and enjoying the companionship of pups. I have experience with reactive dogs and understand the care that goes into them. I have also volunteered at the local animal shelter here in Tofino as their dog walker. Available to work in mornings or evenings, and occasional afternoons if the time permits, depending on the length of walks I may be able to fit it into my breaks at work as well! I’m very good at following directions to a point. Whatever care you need in your home I will be sure to respect. I believe that communication is the key to a happy and safe home

“Samiksha was awesome. Our dog Maya warmed up to her very well and she took great care of our dog while we were out on an excursion. Highly recommend.”

“Denie was amazing! This was the first time we used the app. Our request was a little different. My partner and I were eloping and wanted someone to help with our two pups ( 11 months and 6 months) during our ceremony. Denie was super responsive, flexible and great the pups. He provided us with a few pointers and honestly help grow our confidence so we could be focused during our moment. Denie is extremely passionate about dogs and it shows through his patience and his approach. We couldn't have asked for a better match! Thank you Denie, we will definitely reach out next time we're in town!”
