Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ucluelet

About: I grew up with a dog and cat, and have been around them all my life. I am attentive to their needs while being affirmative as a leader- they see me as leader of the pack. I am available mornings before 9:30am, evenings after 4pm and I have weekends off. Beach walks, run at the park, whatever level of activity is required for your pet, stay at home home staying too)) I have a reliable safe car to drive your pet for beach walks etc. I will take care of their needs, make sure they have water after a long walk and provide any extra care that is required.

“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: 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.

About: I grew up with a mini schnauzer but I currently don’t have dog of my own. This allows me to dedicate 100% of my effort to meeting the needs / wishes of your pup. I completed dog first aid in 2024. My rates are slightly negotiable to Tofino locals / regulars I’m flexible, I can come to you and meet you at your home or hotel. Alternatively I can meet you at a beach, trailhead, or a lake. I care for pets as if they are my own but can maintain and uphold any rules or boundaries you have set for them at home

About: Aksel and I are a married couple living in Ucluelet. Over the years, we have taken care of many pets both in town and abroad. The pets we have looked after include rescues with varying needs, large dog breeds, a 3 month old puppy, indoor and outdoor cats, and senior pets that required daily medication. We have both grown up with dogs, and have taken care of them from puppyhood until senior status. We also have experience with chickens, peacocks, goats, hamsters, birds, and fish. While mostly interested in walks and drop-in visits these days, we are open to house-sits if it is the right fit. Since most of our reviews have taken place on a different pet-sitting platform, we have included some of those in the form of screenshots in our pictures. Please take a look there to see more of the feedback we have received from pet owners. I (Brenda) am a photographer and filmmaker. Aksel runs his own tutoring company and also teaches surf lessons. We are both planning to pursue a degree in clinical counselling later this year. The dream is to stay in Ukee long-term and contribute to this wonderful community! Both Aksel and myself (Brenda) currently have fairly open schedules. We have availability most weekdays before 1 pm and after 5 pm. We are available on weekends also. While house-sitting in others' homes, we make sure to maintain clear and consistent communication with the pet owners. We like to have a video call or in-person meeting before the house-sit begins as a way to build trust and gather all the necessary information. During our sits, we send regular updates with pictures and videos. Throughout the 10 house-sits we have completed so far, we have easily adapted to the pets' routines (walks, meals, and overall play/cuddle time). We understand that it must be a little confusing/stressful for pets to be separated from their owners, and so do our best to keep their daily structure going while giving them lots of love!

“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: I’ve been cat sitting since high school or for about 8 years now! I have experience with older cats (10+ years) and younger guys too (~1 year). I have a long list of references I’d love to provide for you upon request from the many cat families I’ve cared for the in past.

About: My partner and I have experience taking care of large dogs, senior and puppies, that require lots of activity and attention.

I am up early so enjoy a morning walk which works well with dogs to give them some activity first thing in the morning. I follow instructions given to me by clients very carefully, and take them seriously. I clean up after the pets and make sure they are comfortable in the home.

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: I work remotely, therefore i’m able to give a lot of attention, belly rubs, exercise and lots of love to pets :) I have owned pets my entire life, dogs, rabbits, birds, and a hedgehog! I have lots of experience with puppies, senior dogs and reactive dogs. I work remote so I always have lots of time to give attention, belly rubs and lots of love! I love spending lots of time outdoors so as many walks as needed is more than okay with me! I follow instructions throughly and make sure all pets are always well monitored from wherever they are. I keep a close eye on all pets at all times!

“Leah was wonderful with my dog Melvin! I had to work last minute in Tofino and she was able to take care of my puppers for 8 hours during a holiday. She took Melvin on walks, to the beach, and made sure he got some treats! Would definitely book again!”

“Brenda and Aksel came by for a meet and great before Brenda’s walk with Poe. They asked great questions and demonstrated how easily they could handle my sassy sweet Poe. I got home after a long day to a tired, peaceful pup who had obviously had great care and lots of love in my absence!”

Marcie D.

“Artem was great with my dogs! He took them for a nice long walk and they came back happy and relaxed! He was able to handle my big dog really well and kept them both calm on the leash which can sometimes make them reactive. Very happy and will definitely book again. Thanks Artem!”

“Seika looked after our dogs for half a day, and it was just what we needed during our short stay! She was kind, responsive, flexible, and was able to care for three small poodles in addition to her own. I could tell they had a great time and they were all tuckered out after a big walk and some playtime. Would ask her to care for our pups again and recommend her to anyone.”
