Doggy Day Care Courtenay

“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.”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 15 years! Many of my friends and family members have me watch their pets when they are away, especially since my dog Bucky and I are always out and about. I have had a ton of experience with a wide range of dogs, all with different levels of discipline. My pets have ranged from small breeds like a chihuahua to a larger breed like a boarder collie. I usually walk my dogs in many different areas around the city. Regardless of your pups needs, I will be able to take them on a nice adventure through the neighbourhood, going at the pace that is best suited for their physical abilities! Please note that Bucky will always join us on our adventures, but he loves everyone! I am in school doing a flexible part time program so I have lots of availability to hangout with your dog. I do work part time but this varies each week. We will play enrichment games, play with toys, the dogs can tussle in the park, or go on a sniff-ahari. Whatever works best for your dog, we will incorporate into our time together

“Robin had the best time at Marie’s, her dogs are super gentle and friendly and they entertained him all day. She was also very responsive on the pre- planning Thanks for great sitting!”

“Janine took good care of Darla while I went to go check out the Tulip Festival. Took her on a walk to the beach and ensured she was quite entertained. Janine also frequently sent photo updates and quite responsive when I asked how Darla was doing. ☺️ Highly recommend getting her as a dog sitter.”

“Kaleena took great care of our pup. She was flexible with our drop off time and was easy to communicate with. Would definitely book with her again when we're next in town!”

“I had complete confidence that my dog would enjoy being with Adam. I had never left her with someone she didn't know. But his gentle, caring demeanor reasured both myself and Daisy. She went quite willingly to begin her adventure. He cared for her for a full day and I am very grateful. I was able to visit my Grand daughter with no worries about how my pet was. I hope to let Daisy enjoy more time with Adam..”

About: Had dogs all my life and trained and rehabilitated my 15 year old border collie. Recently said good bye to both family dogs. Experience with puppies, senior dogs, unique dog medical needs, and nervous dispositions. I work full time from home, can offer daily dog walks, very active family life on the weekend. Dogs can come along for any and all the adventures where appropriate. Biking, hiking, beach plays, trail runs. Back yard not fenced, very friendly German Shepard shares the yard. Steps away from the beach so many strolls for sniffs and pee breaks. One very excited toddler to pet and play. Has learned to be gentle with dogs.

“Susan provided a safe, loving environment for my dog on short notice and I very much appreciated it!”

“Aparna and Chief combine to make a great experience for our dog who has pretty high anxiety. He actually is excited to run through the front gate to greet them both. Thank you for the excellent service Aparna!”

About: I’m Sandy — an animal-loving sitter with 30+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Pet sitting lets me combine my love of travel and animals while giving pets lots of love and their owners a completely worry-free vacation. I’ve spent decades involved in Pomeranian rescue, performed home checks for Little Paws Rescue, and most recently was a flight angel bringing two pups from Mexico to their forever homes. I’m especially good with seniors, shy animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work part-time remotely, so your pets get plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a non-smoker with a peaceful, easygoing demeanor. I enjoy quiet hobbies like reading and yoga — which helps create a calm, relaxing environment for the pets I care for. I’m clean, respectful, and will look after your home as if it were my own. 🐾 Optional: I share my life with a gentle, well-socialized Pomeranian named Sable. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, and is fully housetrained, friendly, and easygoing. If you’re open for her to join me, she makes a sweet, low-maintenance companion — but she’s just as happy staying at home if you’d prefer a pet-free sit. References available. *Sable's reference: She was a therapy dog at the last dental office I worked at. She helped calm nervous patients, especially children. This speaks volumes about her character. I work from remotely part time. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets and caring for you home while you are away. While you are away, I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. My priority will be to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while also making sure your home is safe and well cared for. Pet care will include: Feeding your pets according to their regular schedule and instructions. Providing fresh water every day. Giving medications or supplements as directed, if required. Making sure they receive their usual exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship. Keeping litter boxes, food areas, and other pet areas clean. Watching for any changes in their behaviour, appetite, or overall well-being and contacting you if I have any concerns. Sending you updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you're away. Home care will include: Keeping the home clean and tidy. Bringing in mail, packages, and newspapers. Taking garbage and recycling out as needed. Watering plants according to your instructions. Following any instructions for heating, lights, security systems, or other household routines. Making sure doors and windows are secure when I leave. Letting you know right away about any maintenance issues or unexpected problems. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings and will do my best to leave everything in the same condition as when you left. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.

“Andrea was fantastic and was really accommodating with our last minute booking. Our shy dog Alba enjoyed having a friend for the afternoon while we explored Powell River. We would definitely use Andrea again!”

“Friendly, welcoming, and easy going, my peppers loved it there, I'll use her again when I come up the area to visit my parents and we are out on a hot day.”

“I’m would definitely use Yasmine again. She was great with Jasper, clear communication before, while and after. We were just visiting and needed someone to care for Jasper while out whale watching and she was perfect and convenient for the marina.”

“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!”

About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I will be your dog's best friend whether it's for a daily or weekly walk or a weekend sleepover. I have raised two dogs from 8 weeks old that are impeccably obedient. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with medical or dietary restrictions, small and big. I am here to cater to their favorite activities whether it be walking swimming or trail walks we are up for it all. I am a free lance bookkeeper and accountant that works from home. My day is scheduled around my animals and yours. Depending on the day I incorporate multiple dog walks and outdoor time throughout the day. I care for pets as if they are my own by maintaining all obedience rules of the family first. If obedience or crate training isn't a priority of yours then I can help to provide good habits that your pet can take home with them.

About: Hello beautiful community, I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, overnight sitting, basic grooming, feeding routines, crate training support, and reinforcing positive behavior. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and stimulation, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and close attention to health needs. I understand that every dog/cat has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, triggers, energy level, and comfort zones to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. Please let me know if you have any questions! I would love to take care of your furry friend & I am happy to do a meet and greet 🤗 I recently moved to Powell River and I have a flexible schedule. I usually work around 5-6 hours a day and 5 days a week. I live in a home and I have a fenced yard with one friendly dog. His name is Douglas and he is very friendly, goofy and affectionate.

“Kayleen was really helpful in accommodating a last-minute daycare for Tuzo. Super responsive and her pup was also a great host!”

Sophie P.

“Cat was amazing. I felt safe to leave Bug with her lovely dogs. She made his stay comfortable and I am happy with the services. Cat was very flexible with the needs and was very welcoming and friendly. I would use her service again if I want another dog sitting day. And 100% recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi! I’m a mom of three with a 8 year old pup and 2 year old cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is being well taken care of. Whether you’re busy with work, family, or just need an extra hand, I offer dog walking in your neighborhood or drop in’s. Your dog will get exercise, attention, and care. I’m currently working part-time. I can be very flexible with your schedule needs, I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals. Thank you! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get outdoor breaks (for dogs), and have clean litter boxes (for cats). I spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not just “checked on.” I’m respectful of your space, and I always make sure everything is secure and tidy when I leave.
