Dog Walking Lantzville

“Marysa is so responsive and has been incredibly accommodating! She’s been walking two somewhat chaotic ridgebacks and has been great with them.”

“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.”

“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!”

About: I have taken care of my dogs from puppies to seniors and end of life, ensuring their comfort and needs were met. I currently have two puppies, a senior black lab and a senior tuxedo cat who I take care of daily. I work part time and take care of my pets when I am home. I live with other people who also contribute to taking care of them. I have a fenced yard and pet friendly house. I live near a dog park and know lots of places to take dogs for walks.

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.

“Ashley was great with Pippin on their walks. She asked lots of questions to get to know Pip, and Pip was pooped after the walk and some play! 10/10 will rebook ☺️”

About: I’ve spent nearly all my life surrounded by animals. From raising family dogs to working in vet clinics I know what it takes to provide the best care and companionship for your dog or cat. I have taken care of many animals ranging from livestock to special needs pets. I am comfortable with maintaining training and working with your animals through any challenges or fears they might have. I have a huge passion in animal assisted therapy and believe that animals can strongly help us overcome daily challenges. I’d love to be a part of your pet’s life and get some cuddle time of my own!! I have been tasked with dog/cat sitting and walking many times and feel as though I am an excellent candidate for your pet’s needs. I hope you’ll consider me and I can’t wait to meet all your furry friends!

About: I’ve always had dogs and have a lifelong love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including indoor and outdoor cats and dogs of different breeds and sizes. I also have my own dog and have done extensive training with reactivity and anxiety, giving me experience working calmly and patiently with reactive or anxious dogs. I offer house sitting and take care of everything while you’re away, treating every pet and home as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I meet with each family allowing me to create a trailered plan to meet the needs of each home. Helping to provide a stable environment for every animal! I believe it’s best for the animals to stay where they are the most comfortable. So I typically stay with them or ensure I go for multiple visits throughout the day.

About: I've been taking care of animals for over 10 years now. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and all around care for their pets. I'm a certified vet assistant so I am very comfortable giving them medications as well and continuing on any training they might have ongoing. I am currently working at an animal hospital from 8 to 6 from Monday to Thursday. So they would have to be okay to stay alone for 10 hours if possible if not I can try to let them out after 5 hours. I like to stay at the clients home so that your pet can stay as comfortable as they want. While keeping to their daily routine as much as possible.

About: I grew up caring for three dogs of my own — two small breeds and one large dog — so I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for a pet’s well-being. In addition to my personal experience, I completed a canine training course where I learned how to better understand dog behavior, communication signals, and positive reinforcement techniques. I have experience helping dogs improve their obedience, learn basic commands, and even practice fun tricks using reward-based methods only. I am responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Since I have my own vehicle, I can easily commute and handle any necessary errands or emergencies. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and caring environment so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I have enough time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I am available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and from Monday to Thursday after 4:00 PM. However, I understand that every pet owner has different needs, and I am flexible whenever possible to accommodate specific schedules. I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions carefully, and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors are secure, monitor the pet closely during walks, and provide a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and responsibility.

About: I Love dogs more than I do Humans! I have worked with dogs at an NGO but I'm no professional. I've a year of dog sitting and walking experience. I want to do this because I just love dogs and want to grab every opportunity to spend more time with them! I am a student at Vancouver Island University and live in Nanaimo. I have quite a few pockets of free time in my daily routine. Walking your dog will make my day complete and your day carefree! Pet care is different from case to case. Need to talk to the dog parents about their needs and expectations and whether or not I can fulfill them to their liking.

About: I have had pets my entire life: a German Shepard Husky growing up, and now I have a cat that I adopted from the SPCA (my second). I love pets and they love me. I also know the difficulty that comes with having to travel and leaving your pet and often your house in the care of another person. I am respectful, responsible, kind and considerate when it comes to animals and other peoples' homes. I currently am available any day for pet sitting, and am willing to stay overnight to also take care of your house and treat your pet and house with the same care that I take with my cat and my house. Unfortunately I do not have a fenced yard so cannot have pets in my house. I am happy to care for your pet in your home whether it means dropping by to feed and clean up and spend some quality time with them, or staying over night if needed if you are going on a longer trip.

“Danielle is super friendly and obviously loves dogs. My dogs had a great time on their walk and we look forward to lots more walks in the future!”

About: I have tons of experience taking care of all sorts of animals. From reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, and critters working at the science centre to cats and dogs. I have experience dealing with animals with special medical needs too. My schedule is wide open, I am available any time of the week with enough notice. I want to be able to provide the best care possible to your critters. For boarding pets I have a fully fenced in backyard for boarding dogs. I would not be able to board cats unfortunately. They would be supervised the entire time and not left alone. For visits I would do a pre-visit checkin before the scheduled date just to clear up any details about your pet.

“Kira was a great communicator and I felt completely comfortable having her come to my place 2x a day while I was out of town. I know she provided Bolt with playtime and plenty of love. Thanks Kira!”

“Rhaya was great with my 2 doodles. She took them for a full hour walk around our area, on short notice, and they returned tired and happy. Very pleasant and punctual.”

About: Hello! Are you going away and worried about your dog missing their walks, treats and belly rubs? I've got you covered! I offer calm, reliable, and loving dog care-whether that means daily walks or cozy house sitting and keeping your fur baby company. My focus is keeping your pets safe, happy and on their routines whilst treating them like family. I am happy to feed, provide fresh water and meds if required. Your furry friend/friends will receive lots of attention, snuggles and playtime. I have had dogs for most of my life and have experience with puppies, seniors, high watt energy and shy souls. I'm patient and take my time to establish trust and comfort with your animal(s). Think of me as your pet's stand in human while you're away. I'm always happy to keep their tails wagging, paws moving and your mind at ease. I currently have an on call position at my job, so I have a very open schedule allowing for stayovers, walks and drop ins. My schedule is listed open all week, I just need a little bit of notice in advance. When I am with your dog/dogs, cat etc I will feed and water them, and if required give basic medications. This will be adhered to in a timely manner as discussed for your pet's needs. If you have a yard and would prefer to have them be exercised there we can play ball, or if preferred your furries can be walked. When inside, that's you and your dog's space and will be treated with utmost respect.

“Sarah is quite patient with my pups!”
