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.

“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

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

“We all liked Courtenay right off the bat, especially Phoebe, and we felt very comfortable leaving Phoebe with her. We tried a two-hour sample stay first and that went very well so the full days that we needed puppy day-care were an easy transition. Courtenay made sure Phoebe was comfortable and busy so she didn’t have time to miss us, and her whole family was also involved so our little girl had a great time. We will definitely leave Phoebe with Courtenay again when needed ✨ thanks Courtenay and fam!”

“Karuna was absolutely amazing, it was the first time we ever left our puppy with someone else and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! I was only out for a couple hours but still got text updates, photos and videos of my pup! I will definitely be booking Karuna in the future!”

“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..”

Sherry B.

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I work from home and go for frequent walks with my dog. Our place backs onto a green space so we are out a lot. I work from home and set aside time each morning, afternoon and evening for walks, and can be available if they need to go out. We have a large fenced yard with space to run and play. I always make sure there is plenty of fresh water available, and of course give lots of love and pets.

“I am so grateful to Marcy for taking our dog on short notice. He had a great time and came home tired out! Would definitely rebook. Thanks again!”

He had plenty of outside play time and was happy puppy when he went to sleep. Marie is a dog lover and expert herself, her dog is extremely well trained and polite, a good example for my puppy:)”

About: Hello, My name is Amy! I’m a huge dog lover and have been fostering rescue dogs for many years. Over the years, I’ve cared for several rescues from South Korean dog meat farms and high-kill shelters, as well as local rescues here on the island. With that experience, I have a pretty good sense for dogs with all different kinds of background/behaviors; some of my rescue dogs had severe trauma from where they came from, I love when we open up in time and they feel safe with me. I truly treat every dog as if they were my own, and I promise your fur babies will be cared for with patience, love, and plenty of attention. :) Schedule: I’ll be home with your pets throughout the day, so they’ll have plenty of companionship, attention, and regular potty breaks to keep them comfortable and well cared for. :) Safety, trust & Environment: I live in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood and place with a 1/2 acre beautiful fully fenced yard; where I can play and keep safe.
