Dog Walking Lantzville

“Sam helped us out with a couple last minute drop ins this weekend and was a godsend. Punctual, professional and has won over our anxious young pup quickly. Thanks Sam!”

“Our dog had a great walk with Marysa! She was really easy to communicate with and very responsive.”

“Would absolutely recommend Nicole and hope to use her service again. My dogs just loved her and her son was the sweetest dog walking companion.”

Sandra D.

“Nicole has been amazing! It was my first time using a dog walker for my boy and she did wonderfully. Lots of messages to coordinate and enjoyed our interactions. By the last visit my dog was waiting at the door for her vehicle to roll up ❤️”

Lauren P.

“Laura was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. She was so gentle with Brunette, and I really appreciated that Brunette had the chance to interact with her children. It was such a positive experience for Brunette, and I could tell she felt comfortable and happy. Thank you, Laura, for your care and kindness!”

“This was our first walk with Karuna and we are thrilled to have found her. She’s got such a lovely presence, and I’m sure our animals would agree. Our rescue dog can be very reactive to new folks, but Karuna is patient and understanding and he is quickly becoming comfortable with her. We really appreciate Karuna’s obvious experience and comfort level with both dogs and cats and are looking forward to more dog walking and house sitting with her in the near future. Thanks Karuna!”

About: I’m a patient, loving, and highly attentive pet caregiver who genuinely adores animals of all kinds. Dogs, cats, shy pets, energetic pups, seniors , I’m happiest when I’m around them. I understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m great with multi-pet homes and very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, making sure everyone gets the attention they need without stress or overwhelm. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour, and I move at your pet’s pace, whether that means a calm walk around the neighbourhood or an enriching adventure on nearby trails. Safety and awareness are always my priority. I’m mindful of surroundings, leash security, and your pet’s emotional comfort at all times. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and respect, just like one of my own. What you can expect from me: 🐕 Neighbourhood walks or trail outings 🐱 Comfortable and confident with cats 🐾 Experienced with multi-pet households ❤️ Patient, gentle, and emotionally aware care 📸 Photo updates and detailed check-ins ⏰ Reliable and communicative I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I don’t take that lightly. I’d love to meet you and your furry family and help keep them happy, exercised, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work from home, which gives me flexibility and consistency for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. While I do have occasional travel during the week, I plan my availability carefully to make sure pets receive reliable, attentive care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, and walking dogs is a great way for me to get outside and stay active while giving them the exercise and enrichment they need. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore as it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize in my daily and weekly routine I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes. I believe pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter care, medications if needed, and any household-specific preferences. I take a calm, patient, and attentive approach, paying close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection (as welcomed), and I always prioritize safety and cleanliness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life. We had hounds and a Bull Mastiff growing up, and I was hands-on with daily care and routines. I was mainly responsible for caring for our goats — including baby goats and milking — and I also helped out on neighbouring farms. I got my first dog at 21, and she was by my side for 13 wonderful years, so I understand the lifelong commitment, love, and responsibility that comes with caring for a dog. Over the years, I’ve regularly taken friends’ dogs on hikes, especially when living in the Interior — everything from extra-large breeds to tiny minis. I’m confident handling different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive experiences. We’re a pet-loving household, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I’m home during the work week, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a large property with a fully fenced back yard for safe outdoor time, as well as access to local wooded trails and paved paths for walks and enrichment. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling, and I tailor activity levels based on each dog’s needs — whether that’s a calm stroll, trail walk, or extra outdoor time. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will be treated like part of the family. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. We have a very friendly dog and two small children, so it’s important that visiting pets are comfortable around both. Our large, fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for supervised outdoor time. If your dog prefers one-on-one attention, I’m happy to offer solo walks or individualized care tailored to their needs. Whether your pup enjoys calm companionship, structured walks, or extra outdoor enrichment, I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and loving experience for every dog in my care.

About: I have taken care of many different dogs, including border collies, havanese and husky mixes! I grew up doing dog trials with 10-11 border collies & have house and dog sat over 5 times (1 being for over 4 months). I am open to dogsits, dog walks and housesits as well as quick drop ins! I am very active and would love taking your dogs on walks/runs/hikes in my free time! I keep dogs on their schedule and make sure to keep their life as regular as possible as if their owner has never left. I make sure to get all the needed information: medications, food schedules & exercise routines before the owner leaves.

About: Mature and reliable pet care at your home or my home. Large fenced yard - daily walks and lots of cuddles. Have cared for various dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m currently working from home so am available to care for and walk your pet and can either care for them in your home or in my home. I have two friendly dogs who are used to sharing. I have a fenced yard and large house to care for your fur baby. If you require dog walking or care in your own home I can accommodate your preferences.

“My dog immediately took to Courtney and was excited to see her the next visit! So pleased!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life. More recently, while living on a farm, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and helped care for two kittens we rescued and raised until they grew into happy, independent cats. Although I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. My background in hospitality has taught me to be highly organized, dependable, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, so I’ll always treat your pets with kindness and respect while keeping you updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities, and I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide so your pet receives the same level of care they’re used to at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate weekdays, weekends, holidays, and many last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine and your schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any house rules your pet is used to. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.

About: I have professional and personal experience with dogs, working in a professional setting with up to roughly 100 dogs daily (to many...please don't hire me to look after that many) as well as working with strays and rescues out of the country... Just lots of pet experience all around. I am professionally trained in dog and cat behavior, and studied wildlife biology. Not just a dog lover, I can handle all animals well, including exotics:). I am open for over night or a few hours or days. Any time is a good time. I can be flexible for whatever works I pay attention to the animal's behavior and needs rather than wants. Every dog is a new personality and they shouldn't all be handled the same way.

About: I have been around pets my whole life. From a cat in my teens to a Bernese mountain dog. I have always loved being around animals. I currently work remote. I know schedules can be crazy and emergencies happen. That Is why I am making myself available anytime to play with your pets! It's all about them. I believe in coming in with great energy but not coming in too strong. I will make sure to fully understand your pet so they feel safe with me.

“We had an amazing experience with Angela! She walked our two big, somewhat challenging dogs six times and did a fantastic job every single visit. Her communication was excellent, she was reliable, and she handled our dogs with confidence and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled dog walker. Thanks, Angela!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 10 years old. I graduated from a Veterinary Assistant program in 2001. I am a volunteer at the BCSPCA 2 to 4 days a week and have been involved in several animal rescues. I have been a stay at home mom of humans and animals for 22 years but the human kids are growing up and moving on leaving me the time and desire to spend more time with animals. I am available to feed, walk, bathe and medicate your pets. I am able to take them to and from vet or grooming appointments and provide safe and loving care in your home. I enjoy taking dogs to the beach, trails, and neighborhood walks. Long hikes or short strolls. I am feline savvy as well and am comfortable with animals of all sorts. I have been happily married for 25 years and we own our own home in North Nanaimo. I am also an active and long term volunteer board member with the Nanaimo Minor Hockey Association. I am able to provide both personal and professional references upon request. My availability is extremely flexible. I do not work outside of being a parent and my availability is quite open with some exceptions. I'm sure we could always make something work. My number one priority is and always will be an animals safety and mental/physical well-being and happiness. I can accommodate any requirements you have for your fur babies. My animals are just as much my kids as my human children. To make sure I have the most knowledge possible on your pet(s), I provide an initial questionnaire as well as provide initial meet and greets to ensure we are all a good fit.

About: I have been a pet parent since I was a wee lass, owned mostly dogs and cats but I've also had rabbits, birds, fish and lizards. I have experience with all ages of animals and I used to foster and help train groups of puppies for a rescue agency. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can be available daytime and evenings as needed. I am also available for overnight stays. I offer drop in care service or a full overnight house sit as needed. I will treat your pet like my own with lots of love!

“Mikhayla is responsive and reliable. Thank you for walking our pup Arthur today!”

About: Hi! I'm a full-time cat mom of two wonderful kitties, Iggy & Hans. They make the rules around here, so unfortunately I can't get a dog right now, but that means I'm more than happy to watch your dog/pets in your home :) I grew up with 2 beautiful Newfoundlands and a Heinz variety, and I'm a huge animal lover. I have experience with young pups/senior dogs, and have some experience providing medication to both dogs and cats. I have the ability to work from home so I'd be with your pet the majority of the stay. This is great for pets who like their routines and thrive on a consistent schedule when it comes to feeding/walking/playtime etc. I've done sits for both active and low energy dogs, so I can adapt to their energy level:) As a cat mom who loves to travel internationally, I understand how stressful and hard it can be to trust someone with your home/pet and I'd be happy to provide as many updates and photos as you'd like :)
