1. Dana M.
“Dana is fantastic!! She’s a great communicator who replies promptly to messages. We left our anxious dog Joey with my in-laws when on vacation and hired Dana to help with walks. She went out of her way to travel to their home to meet with them prior to Joey’s first walk. Joey typically is very wary of strangers and we were nervous about not being there at pick up but went willingly with Dana without issue - a true testament to Dana’s ability to understand and work with anxious dogs. We will definitely hire Dana again. Highly recommend.”
2. Rachel M.
“Rachel is amazing! She really went above and beyond to make every walk fun for our very energetic and affectionate mini Aussie, Frank. While we were out of town she took Frank on so many fun adventures. He can usually get sad when we’re away, but it was so comforting to see in the photos Rachel sent how happy he was and how much fun he was having with her.”
3. Marie L.
“Marie have babysit my fur babies a few times in the past and let me tell you, she understood the assignment of taking care of dogs and giving them love. She was always there for mines when needed, which was very helpful for me. She’s a fur mom herself of a well behaved Border Collie. I recommend her as a pet sitter/dog walker 100%”
4. Anthony W.
“Tony is a kind and attentive person who loves animals and more importantly, they love him! He'll play, exercise and care for them. He easily walked my 95 lb chocolate lab and was great with friends Bichon/shitzu. He is trustworthy and reliable.”
5. Hayly K.
“Hayly is probably the most compassionate person I’ve ever met. She’s super patient with older animals and keeps up with the little babies too. Hayly’s mostly a cat person but she somehow gets along with my grumpy old shih tzu, who hates everyone’s guts. I cannot recommend her enough in words, she’s just super amazing and is basically a pet whisperer. Best pet-sitter in the valley, maybe even the whole island!”
6. Gammy B.
“I always know my lovely Luna is in good hands with Gammy!”
7. jay M.

8. Bailey C.
“Bailey was a life saver for me when my pet care canceled last minute!! He came and took my dog for a walk, and Winston came back a very happy boy!!”
9. Ashley & Jeffrey M.
“Ashley did a great with our new dog. We needed someone to walk him his first week with us. She went above and beyond. She walked him and had so much patience with him and even worked on some basic commands. He is a rescue but took right to her! I would highly recommend Ashley for all of your pet needs.”
10. Jacqueline d.
“Our first meeting with Jay was great! Riley is looking forward to his next walk :)”
11. Matthew F.

12. Caroline K.
“Caroline was great with my shiba! Great communicator and took lots of pictures of my dog on the walk. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her :)”
13. Jessica P.
About: I have always had animals in my life to love and play with, whether mine or not. I grew up with dogs, have looked after many of my friends’ animals (including cats and even horses!) I spent time working as an Animal Care Attendant at the BVSPCA in Canmore. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, temperament and even giving medication if necessary- we had a diabetic cat at the shelter. All dogs are special and I will look after yours as I would my own. My schedule is pretty flexible. I work part time away from home, but when I am home I am dedicated to my animals. I love exploring the nearby trails and all the beauty the Valley has to offer. Having a furry friend or two to enjoy it with makes it even better! I have one dog, Kai who is a lab/pyranees cross. He is a rescue that we have had for just over four years. He is the joy of our lives. He is very gentle and loving and gets along well with everyone. He would love to hang out with a friend! He has free run of our whole home and your fur baby would too.
14. Jan B.
“I would recommend Jan. I have used her for walk / play visits. Jan accommodated my shift work times. She listened to how it was best to manage Roxie on her walks. Neighbors would meet Jan and Roxie on walks and commented on how she was professional and polite. I would look forward to the updates from Jan. Sometimes there was a picture of Roxie”
15. Owen & Tatiana G.
“Owen and Tatiana are super reliable, loving pet sitters. They have helped me care for dogs, cats, parrots, and fish over the years on many pet sits. If you're looking for honest, kind people - they are the best around! :)”
16. Tahlia M.
“Tahlia is awesome! She's been "auntie" to our many pets over the 10 years that I've known her, from our senior dogs (RIP) to new kittens and puppies. She also has her own senior mini-daschund who is now 15. All of our animals love her and I trust her to take care of them. Your pets will be in very good hands with Tahlia and she also has a great secure backyard for hosting doggie playtime.”
17. Taryn B.
“Taryn has always been drawn to animals. She spends a tremendous amount of time and energy to make sure that they are well kept and well trained. She consistently studies and learns about animal care practices. She has a huge heart and pets perceive that.”
18. Jessica J.
“Jessica was so great! Super easy to communicate with and my pup was well cared for. I’d definitely recommend her and would use her again. Thanks, Jessica!”
19. Breanne H.
“Great communication”
20. Kristiana B.
“Kristiana is a kind, caring person who has always had a love of all animals. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality traits, as well as dog psychology when working with a pack. Her own dogs receive the best care possible and she is always willing to give helpful advice to other dog owners.”
