Dog Daycare in Gibsons

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life since childhood. I’ve owned dogs since I was 7 and spent 15 years working hands-on in veterinary clinics, as well as at shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. Before having children, I also ran my own pet-sitting service, caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m now a marine biologist who primarily works from home, but my love for animal care has never changed. Your dog will share our home with Sheriff, my very friendly black Lab, and my two young children, who love helping give extra attention and cuddles. Between playtime, walks, and lots of love, I’ll make sure your dog has plenty of fun and feels right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is a central part of our home life. I work from home , which allows me to be present throughout the day for feeding, playtime, walks, pats, and monitoring each pet’s comfort and wellbeing. My days are structured but flexible, with plenty of one-on-one attention, enrichment, and downtime. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or extra cuddles, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day of the week. I care for pets as if they were my own, focusing on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. With 15 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and shelters, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing changes in behavior or wellbeing. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and spacious environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment throughout the day. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are supervised to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the household. I provide reliable visits for feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and companionship, while keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Keetah was so great with my crazy dog! Such good communication - lots of updates and photos provided! Tucker already can’t wait to stay with her again (after a long nap). Would highly recommend!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience and have looked after dogs and cats of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable with energetic dogs who need regular exercise as well as older pets who prefer a slower pace. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, basic grooming, administering medication when needed, and providing calm companionship. I am attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work flexibly and spend much of my time at home, which allows me to prioritize walks, check ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my schedule around pets’ needs, whether that means regular daytime visits, longer walks, or overnight care. I am reliable, punctual, and comfortable adjusting my routine to suit each animal. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible, following routines and instructions closely to help them feel secure and settled. I am attentive on walks, mindful of leash safety, and aware of surroundings at all times. I keep homes clean, secure, and calm, and make sure pets are comfortable and never rushed. Clear communication and respect for both pets and their homes are very important to me.

About: I am a warm and loving pet enthusiast with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with 14 dogs of my own and fostering many more. My journey has taken me from walking packs on the beaches of Australia, to the stunning Andalusian mountains and now the exquisite trails on the West Coast of Canada. Known by many as a “dog whisperer,” I have a natural ability to connect with dogs, who are instinctively drawn to me. Currently, I enjoy walking two beautiful Border Collies alongside my own Beagle, and on some days, I can be found in the woods with a joyful pack of four or five furry companions. My love for animals extends beyond pet care—I also help people navigate the grief of losing a beloved pet through my hypnotherapy practice. Every dog in my care holds a special place in my heart, and I am deeply committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. I am a Hypnotherapy Practitioner, specializing in pet loss. I work both from home and online, which allows me the flexibility to align my schedule with pet-sitting commitments. This means I can dedicate plenty of one-on-one attention to your pet, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. While in my care, your furry friend will enjoy long walks, playtime in our secure, fenced yard, and plenty of companionship, so they never feel alone. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m committed to making their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have a fully fenced and secure yard, where your pet can enjoy playtime with my Beagle, who is very sociable and polite. My home is inviting and welcoming. All dogs that I’ve had stay have been comfortable and happy.

“Christina was amazing with Samson! She’s friendly, professional, and so loving. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello, I’m fit and active and I have had dogs and cats for most of my life as part of my family. I connect very easily to furry family members. I love walking and playing and hiking with my furry family members and these activities with my pets has always been an important part of my life. I was employed as a pet sitter while I lived in Edmonton and have volunteered at the Cochrane Humane Society. All my dogs and cats have been rescued and have lived their entire lives with me and my family....I’m committed to providing loving care to your furry family members too when you need a helping hand. Your pet will be well cared for and loved like my own. I am now available for pet sitting 5 days a week. Id love to care for your pets when you are away or just need a helping hand. I carefully follow the instructions of the owners. I believe in treating your pet as I would my own.....I probably provide more hugs and pets than required!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for them at different life stages. I’m comfortable with daily walking, feeding, grooming, cleaning, and providing patient, attentive care. A separate private room can be provided for cats if they need extra space, quiet, or time to settle in comfortably. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work from home, so I am around throughout the day to care for pets and give attention, walks, feeding, and companionship to other pets as well. This makes it easy to provide consistent care and supervision. I provide pet care in my own home in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. We have a fenced yard, and our two friendly dogs are very used to being around other dogs and cats, as we’ve often cared for family and friends’ pets at home. I focus on giving pets plenty of supervision, attention, companionship, and a calm space to help them feel comfortable.

“My little guy can be a bit high maintenance, but Emily scooped him up in her arms and he settled in right away! She’s clearly a true dog lover, and any furry friend will feel right at home here. I’ll definitely be bringing my pup back whenever I’m in the area!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them my entire life. I understand dogs’ routines, body language, and different personalities. I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing calm, patient care. I treat every dog as part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work from home full-time and am home throughout the day. The only time I am briefly away is in the afternoon to pick up my kids from school. Other than that short window, I am always home and available to provide constant supervision, care, playtime, and companionship for dogs. We live in a house with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and relax. Dogs are always supervised, both indoors and outdoors. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. With a calm home environment and plenty of space, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“I've used Guy for lengthy day care and will be using him for overnights as well. Guy and his partner were great and treated my dog as a member of their family. I have a Staffy X rescue who's had a rough start and although he may look scary to some he's a very sweet dog. He is anxious and somewhat reactive (we're working on it), but Guy knew what to do and how to make him feel secure while I was away. The peace of mind having someone reliable, knowledgeable and caring to look after your animal is invaluable. Definitely recommend Guy!”

“Otto and Toby had a great time with Yoonjoo. She is very sweet with small dogs and my two little dogs look so happy from the second time we went to her. I will definitely leave my dog with Yoonjoo next time I need to.”

“Simon was so great- so easy to communicate with and he took such good care of Parker. Took him out for 2 walks and he came home tired and happy. His enclosed yard is also great.”

“This was my first time using Rover and also the first time sending my 6month puppy to full-day care and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Menghan was absolutely wonderful. She patiently answered all my questions beforehand and sent me lots of cute pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated. My pup had an amazing time in her care, and it was such a treat for her to have access to such a spacious yard to play in, since we live in an apartment. It’s clear my pup adores Menghan, and I feel completely confident leaving her in such kind and capable hands again.”

“My sassy husky was so happy! He greeted Liam as an old friend. Liam went above and beyond to take exceptional care of my Bart. I highly recommend and will book again in the future!”

“I am out of words to express how grateful I am for the care my dog, Bobo, received. All this happened when I had to travel to Canada on a days notice due to work. On such short notice, she welcomed Bobo into her home and made her feel completely at ease. Her sweet dog, Loki, quickly became Bobo’s best buddy, which made me so happy. She took Bobo on regular walks, sent me updates, and made me feel truly at peace while I was away. It’s rare to find someone so kind, reliable, and genuinely loving toward animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — Bobo is already looking forward to her next visit!”

“Anna took great care of our dog Puffin in her home. He was so happy to see her when we arrived which was an amazing sign. Puffin had lots of opportunity to play, look out the window and sleep on a cosy pile of blankets. Anna also ensured that Puffin got all of his bathroom breaks and walks as needed. I also received lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I would 100% recommend Anna for doggy daycare services.”

“Serena took wonderful care of Rudy. I know this because when I went to drop him off on the second day, he BOLTED for her! Thank you Serena for taking such good care of him and taking him on the many long walks!”
