“Seamless dog boarding experience with Ingrid. I would not hesitate to book again with her. My pup was well cared for and the process felt relaxing due to her easy going and professional nature.”

“Missy had a fabulous time with Adam and his dogs. He communicated effectively and sent the best photos of Missy through out her stay. Having peace of mind whilst away meant the world to us! Thank you!”

“Amber is just fantastic! Not only is she a great communicator but she also sent regular photos and videos of our pup having a great time. We always know our dog is in good hands with Amber. Highly recommend.”

“Dominique and family took very good care of our Ava girl. The kids were very tentative and caring aswell as Dominique. They took our girl out on adventure played with her and the kids like to have sleep overs with her aswell as ava. Thank you so much Dominique and family you were all so great and we know Ava is well taking care of in your home and we look forward to her visiting again 😊”

“Susan took amazing care of my chihuahua and cat while away on a recent vacation. I was so impressed by the space in her home that she has dedicated to the cats. It was very clean, cozy, and full of things for the cats to climb and perches to look out the window. My chihuahua was spoiled with walks and cuddles and spent time sun tanning outside (his favorite pastime). Susan sent daily photo updates and was amazing when it came to communication before and during their stay. At one point we thought our flight home would be canceled due to a pending airline strike and Susan was totally ok with us extending the animals stay which relieved a lot of stress for us. (Thankfully we made it home on time anyway). I would 100% recommend Susan and will definitely use her again.”

“Dana is an excellent sitter! My schnauzer had a great time. She usually has some anxiety in a new place, but she seemed very relaxed and happy with Dana. We will definitely be going back!”

About: We had to say goodbye to our sweet dog last fall and would welcome some occasional furry love in our home again! I understand what’s involved in taking care of a dog properly, all while giving them love and attention. I raised a vizsla dog from puppy through to senior and passing on. He had epilepsy which required daily medication his whole life, was a high energy alpha male, and had lots of minor medical issues. I also grew up with a collie-shepherd rescue when I was younger. During the summer months I don’t work, so looking to add a furry friend to our family while I’m home. I have kids, so while we may go out for occasional outings, if the dog isn’t joining us, the dog would only be home for a few hours. During the school year, I would only be gone weekdays for 4-6 hours. I have a fenced rural property (just under an acre) on the edge of Comox, with access to trails and beaches, galore! There is a mudroom inside our home that is a safe place to leave a dog, or a crate if they feel safe. My children understand how to approach and treat dogs carefully and respectfully (they are 7 and 10 years old). With some blankets on the couch, your dog is welcome up for some cuddles! The house is well setup for a dog, as our last one lived here too. There is always access to fresh water for your pup, we have a walk in shower with easy access from the door on tile, and our home is a comfortable temperature year round with a heat pump.
“Taryn is a kind and conscientious dogsitter. I would recommend her to anyone for dog sitting. Also, my car wouldn’t start after I picked up my dog and she was so helpful during this unforeseeable hiccup. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality, Taryn!”

About: I’ve always had pets! Right now we just have our Pug, Finn. He is pretty lonely so we are opening our space to boarding (1 pet at a time) so that he can have some company. We live on a HUGE property, fully fenced on a dead end street. Perfect for play! I have plenty of time for dog walks morning, and evenings! My schedule will be even more flexible come end of May. Please reach out if you have any questions. I’m a cuddly person so lots of love and pets. I love walking and spending time with them! Playtime at home is also great and if your pup would rather stay in then adventure out, that's alright too!
“Lisa and David took amazing care of our puppy - Luna! They were very responsive in the inquiry process and provided pictures and updates while caring for Luna. Their property is perfect for dogs, allowing them a safe space to explore the outdoors, as well as a lovely dog friendly home (which they puppy proofed for Luna!). They have two border collies that welcomed Luna into their pack. Luna came back to us very happy and well behaved. Lisa and David took the time to reinforce the training we were already working on with her. We will definitely use Lisa and David again and highly recommend them!”

“Carol took good care of Aila. Aila had a good time playing with their dog in the fenced yard and I got pictures and updates about how she was doing. Carol is good in communicating I would definitely bring her again.”

“Kelly and Ian were the ideal care takers for our dog while we were on holidays! They suggested a meet and greet walk before hand so that they (including their dog Luca) and our dog could meet and play in a neutral area before dropping Trouble off at their home. Kelly sent us daily updates including photos and videos of how Trouble was doing (which she had settled in minutes of us dropping her off!) They went on multiple hikes/adventures and ensured that she got plenty of exercise and love. The two pups (our dog and theirs) got along so well we were worried Trouble wouldn’t want to leave lol! Fantastic first Rover experience, we would highly recommend Kelly and Ian to anyone who is in need of care for their dog! We look forward to using them again in the future!”

“It was clear that my dog Bruce warmed up quickly and was loved during his stay with Alexia… also had a large backyard to rip around in. Recommended and will contact Alexia again in future”

“Kevin and Jenny did such an amazing job taking care of our dog Dolce. We appreciated receiving pictures, updates of how she was doing and funny stories of our goofy girl along the way. Dolce gets so excited as soon as we turn off the highway and start heading toward their home, it makes us feel such relief knowing she loves them like family and they treat her like one their own.”

“Carolyn and her family have been an ultra amazing experience for me and Maui. With regular updates and photos, I was able to have days away without any worries. My furbabe was picked up looking so happy and content! Carolyn was great with communication leading up to and after pickup. I hope to rebook in the future! 💝”

“Sean and his wife are wonderfully warm and welcoming. Our dog was comfortable right away in their home. Sean has previous experience with training and caring for his dogs. Our boy had just received surgery and Sean was respectful of his aftercare. I enjoyed the photos they would send me. When the time comes I would definately call them again!”

“We were very happy with Michaela's understanding and patience of our dog puppy energy. We are grateful to have felt so comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Thank you Michaela, we will book with you again in the future.”

“Maggie had a couples days of adventure and fun with Dolly and Lauren. Lauren was great with updates and took excellent care of Maggie. Would recommend for anyone needing a sitter.”

“Linda was amazing. I was stuck over the holidays, I couldn’t keep the dog where I was staying. Linda came & got her , welcomed Rin into her home & family over the holidays. It saved my vacation & Rin was much happier w Linda , than our hotel room. Highly recommend Linda .”

Timbit had a great time with Lauren and her cute pup Dolly. Lauren provided regular communication with photos and videos and treated him like her own. Timbit got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and even got some beach time and a pup cup to enjoy. Thanks for taking such good care of our little guy! Would rebook in a heartbeat when we’re in town again.

Grace and Benoit did a great job taking care of Harvey. They really went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and got lots of attention. Grace and Benoit also provided multiple updates with photos during Harvey’s stay with them. I would highly recommend using them to care for your dog.. .unless it’s during a time when we need them ;)

Janine and her family did an amazing job caring for our 5 month old puppy! We truly appreciated their prior experience with puppies, which gave us confidence that our pup had a safe, nurturing place to learn and play. They took her on daily adventures, including hikes and beach days, and Janine was consistently communicative, sharing plenty of photos each day. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Janine and her family with our little one again!

I can't say enough great things about Natasha, and her partner, Jamie. Our original sitter backed out right before our trip over thanksgiving week. Natasha came to our rescue and took my Brad in on short notice. He was treated like royalty! He had fun new adventures everyday with Natasha and Jamie. I received multiple updates daily with pictures and I could tell my dog was having the best time. He got so much love and attention. If you need a pet sitter, look no where else. Natasha will take great care of your fur babies and you can rest assured while you are away. Thanks so much for spoiling my Brad.
