Doggy Day Care Duncan

“Kristine was so accommodating… on a last minute booking. She welcomed Ruby with lots of love and enthusiasm. She sent us photos and updates which we we loved. Ruby was well cared for.”

“I am glad I had a chance to meet Shane, who is obviously an animal lover. I will use her again, when my circumstances change. Thank you to Rover and to Shane.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

“Amy is magnificent! I was a bit hesitant to put in a review as I want her available for my mutt! ;-) She is very calm and zen, loving, open and warm which was evidenced by our first meet and greet where she got on the floor and my girl just cuddled into her arms. She sent photos and updates without me asking and was flexible with last minute changes keeping Lily overnight. It is my Lily (the white French Bull Dog) that you will see on her sitter profile, and you can see for yourself how wonderful Amy is.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for 4 cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of different pets. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I also offer boarding in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where your pets will get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work part time for myself from home, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to stay on top of feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 5 acres of space for dogs to explore and play, along with a fenced play area for safe outdoor time. I also have a friendly 2 year old lab to keep your dog company. I’m able to crate dogs if needed, depending on their routine, to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

“Janice was amazing!!! I am from out of town and needed a dog sitter for the day… She was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Rusty had a great day and I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. I would highly recommend her any day 100%”

About: Your furry family member is my new friend! I have a lot of love, kindness and compassion for pets, and have always have them in my life. I would love to welcome yours into my life. I’m available with notice and can tailor my weekly and daily schedule to meet you and your fur families’ needs. I have my son one week on one week off. I am at home always exception of certain once a year holidays or running errands or participation in community events. Fenced yard, harbour and beach trails close by. Ground level suite with no stairs. Pets are welcome on the furniture and are members and guests in the home.

“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”

About: I worked at my local humane society back when I lived in Ontario where I was responsible for daily enclosure cleaning/maintenance as well as keeping an eye out for any unusual or concerning conditions. I handled the animals and made sure to give them some love while I could. It wasn’t my job to do that much, but I just love animals so much and that job brought me a lot of joy. Aside from that job, I’ve handled pets most of my life. I’ve had cats, dogs, and more personally for 13 years I had a conure, and for about 7 I had a rabbit. Because of this, I’m very experienced with birds and rabbits especially! I am great with cats too, but my household does have one. She’s an old lady that sleeps mostly and if needed can easily be kept away from any other animals. At home I currently live with a cat who belongs to my sister, but I am her auntie and spend tons of time with her and look after her in ways such as helping with her inhaler, helping clip her nails, brushing, and so on. If my sister is away for any reason, she is fully under my care. Ideally I’d have your baby stay in my room with me if it works, but as a backup I do have a spare room that is pretty well empty with just a guest bed next to my room in my house, and because I live with a cat with Asthma, I try to keep all spaces (especially that room) scent free. I also have no problem staying at a client’s place for a few nights if we’ve established some comfortability and familiarity. I don’t have supplies or enclosures on my own, so all that would have to be provided by the owner. The only things I can provide currently without/additionally to the owner’s pet’s belongings are cat toys, treats, and food/water bowls.

“If I had a 100 stars I would have given those to Bianca. Champ had a great time and Bianca was gracious enough to take his request last minute due to a medical emergency. Thanks so much for everything”

About: Ease your mind with your pets care in my hands! I have grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, from fish and guinea pigs to birds, cats, and my dog Marley. Being exposed to such a wide variety of pets has given me a strong understanding of different animal needs, behaviors, and personalities. Caring for them has always come naturally to me, and over the years I’ve developed a deep sense of responsibility and attentiveness when it comes to their wellbeing. While I truly love all animals, I have a special connection with dogs. I enjoy their companionship, energy, and unique personalities, and I’m very comfortable meeting their daily needs, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing them with attention and affection. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, cared for, and loved, especially when their owners are away. Through my experience, I’ve become patient, reliable, and intuitive when it comes to animal care. I love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of time in my schedule to play and care for your beloved furry friends! Keeping pets safe whether in their own home or in mine, comes down to being attentive, prepared, and creating a calm, secure environment. In your home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent. I double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure to prevent any escapes, and I’m mindful of things like food left out, small objects, or anything that could be harmful. I respect the pet’s space and comfort level, keeping their environment calm and familiar while making sure they’re always supervised and cared for. In my own home, I focus on creating a pet-safe environment before they even arrive. I remove any hazards like toxic foods, loose cords, or small items they could swallow. I ensure there’s a clean, comfortable space for them to relax, with access to fresh water at all times. I also take time to slowly introduce them to the space so they feel safe and not overwhelmed. No matter where I’m caring for pets, I stay attentive to their behavior and needs, making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“Some of the clearest and most punctual communication you can find on this I could tell Bari felt very much at ease right when we handed him off. Thank you a million times Audrey!”

“Despite not having a dog, my Shayka gets ssoo excited to be dropped off to Flora. Her wage is great considering she takes Shayka out for quite few walks during the sit. As well, Flora has made exceptions with her usual time schedule.”

Coralie T.

“Adrian was amazing and did so well with our dog. We appreciate them so much for being so attentive to her and making her comfortable! Would highly recommend them”

Yvonne V.

“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”

Alison B.

“It’s actually Ollie’s very first daycare in 8 years. I’m glad I found Sandeep on rover to look after my fur baby while his pawrents can enjoy a round of golf on the island. Highly recommend and thank you!”

Jane L.

“Jane was absolutely amazing with our puppy and we felt totally comfortable leaving him with her for several days. The end of day reports were very helpful”

Pamela C.

“Kaori was very nice. She sent me a note about what my dog was doing and how she was getting along with the other dogs and also a cute picture.”

April Z.

“Absolutely amazing! We left Nibbler so we could go surfing on our last day, and Nibbler was a tired and happy dog when we got back. He got to walk all the way into town, and stop at the beaches on the way. If we ever need a sitter again in Tofino, I’d absolutely trust Etienne. Nibby can also ‘scream’ at sticks and such sometimes (he has a weird bark) and Etienne handled it with grace!! I’ve always been worried because of my dogs breed - that people may judge him, but Nibbler is full of love and kindness and Etienne shared that back with Nibby! Thank you so so much!”

Shelbie W.

“Stephanie was amazing and took such great care of Lola and provided me update pictures and videos throughout, I really appreciated it!”
