“Amber did a fabulous job taking care of Ranger. She was calm and thoughtful with our exuberant young husky. Communication with Amber was easy and she sent lots of photos to keep us up to date. I am pretty sure Ranger looked back over his shoulder as we walked back to the car at the end of the day. I would recommend Amber and will call on her again.”
“I was a bit nervous leaving my pup with a stranger for the first time but Adam was awesome, he provided updates and pictures throughout and allowed her to be where she felt most comfortable, even when that meant outside waiting for my return. He even had her equipped with a gps collar incase she escaped. She also got along well with their little dogs!”
“Would recommend! Kaleena took great care of my doggo, she was attentive, patient, and asked all the questions that helped me know she was knowledgeable and skilled at pup care. She replied in a timely manner to all of my messages, was accommodating, is friendly and kind.”
About: Passionate dog walker ready to care for your furry friend. Tailored walks, big smiles. From hikes to the dog park, whatever your preference is i can manage it. I work from home and I generally go for a mid morning walk and an afternoon walk. Happy to be in the forest or neighborhood. I have the first floor of my home outfitted for dog care, and a quick walk away from the puntledge river. Happy to board and walk dogs.
About: Puppies to seniors, simple to medically challenged, I have had experience with most. Friends, families and neighbours have entrusted me with their fur babies, and have never been disappointed. References always available. I am retired, and get my daily joy caring for pets, and my favorite part of my day is taking pups walking in the woods. Walking, playing, cuddling, feed and any meds. Animals with special needs are in good hands as I have cared for blind and deaf animals. Puppy traing is fun, and seniors are given plenty of time to meander as much as their comfort allows.
“Zack looked after my small dog Ryan well, addressing all my concerns and instructions. Being a small nervous dog, the rural setting was perfect for Ryan: quiet and away from city noises and ringing doorbells!”
About: Seven years ago, I found my best adventure buddy, Nikita. We're always out and about, exploring new places, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and adventuring together. I'd love to help take care of your pup whenever you're at work or away for a few days. Your dog must be ok with other dogs. 😊 I am currently on 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off schedule so I’ll have lots of time to play with your pup while on my time off (whenever I am available for bookings). I have a house in Courtenay with a big fenced backyard where the doggos can play. There are also couple trails near by I like to go to.
“Leaving my puppy with Jaqueline was an absolute peace of mind. She was very kind and took care of my puppy in his last days of wearing the cone after his neutering surgery. My puppy loved staying with Jaqueline!”
“Avery was amazing with my two very different dogs. Professional, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable! Even my high-anxiety Weim was calm and happy with her. Will definitely visit again!”
About: I have have had many dogs during my life. From dogs with vision difficulties to pups with boundless energy, I have looked after them all. Since moving to Canada having a pet is what I miss most about home. I would be delighted to look after your four legged friend and spent our days having long walks/runs on the valley trail or and curling up on the sofa with homeward bound. I have a fenced patio but I love the outdoors so I would love nothing more than regular walks in the fresh air. I remotely work mon-fri. I work my own hours and get get regular breaks throughout the day. I am free most weekends when I’m not going up the mountain. I currently work from home with very flexible hours so I have lots of availability and time to give your furry friend all the attention and walks they need I make sure that pets feel at ease and like to know their regular routine so I can stick closely to it. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible
