Doggy Day Care Merville

“Really pleased with the expierence! Andrew and Diana are knowledgeable about dogs and seem very competent and thorough with their screening process. My dog Skye seemed very happy with her visit! I am booking my next appointment with them as soon as I finish writing this review. LOL”

“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.”

“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’m Sandy — an animal-loving sitter with 30+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Pet sitting lets me combine my love of travel and animals while giving pets lots of love and their owners a completely worry-free vacation. I’ve spent decades involved in Pomeranian rescue, performed home checks for Little Paws Rescue, and most recently was a flight angel bringing two pups from Mexico to their forever homes. I’m especially good with seniors, shy animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work part-time remotely, so your pets get plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a non-smoker with a peaceful, easygoing demeanor. I enjoy quiet hobbies like reading and yoga — which helps create a calm, relaxing environment for the pets I care for. I’m clean, respectful, and will look after your home as if it were my own. 🐾 Optional: I share my life with a gentle, well-socialized Pomeranian named Sable. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, and is fully housetrained, friendly, and easygoing. If you’re open for her to join me, she makes a sweet, low-maintenance companion — but she’s just as happy staying at home if you’d prefer a pet-free sit. References available. *Sable's reference: She was a therapy dog at the last dental office I worked at. She helped calm nervous patients, especially children. This speaks volumes about her character. I work from remotely part time. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets and caring for you home while you are away. While you are away, I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. My priority will be to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while also making sure your home is safe and well cared for. Pet care will include: Feeding your pets according to their regular schedule and instructions. Providing fresh water every day. Giving medications or supplements as directed, if required. Making sure they receive their usual exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship. Keeping litter boxes, food areas, and other pet areas clean. Watching for any changes in their behaviour, appetite, or overall well-being and contacting you if I have any concerns. Sending you updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you're away. Home care will include: Keeping the home clean and tidy. Bringing in mail, packages, and newspapers. Taking garbage and recycling out as needed. Watering plants according to your instructions. Following any instructions for heating, lights, security systems, or other household routines. Making sure doors and windows are secure when I leave. Letting you know right away about any maintenance issues or unexpected problems. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings and will do my best to leave everything in the same condition as when you left. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.

About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I will be your dog's best friend whether it's for a daily or weekly walk or a weekend sleepover. I have raised two dogs from 8 weeks old that are impeccably obedient. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with medical or dietary restrictions, small and big. I am here to cater to their favorite activities whether it be walking swimming or trail walks we are up for it all. I am a free lance bookkeeper and accountant that works from home. My day is scheduled around my animals and yours. Depending on the day I incorporate multiple dog walks and outdoor time throughout the day. I care for pets as if they are my own by maintaining all obedience rules of the family first. If obedience or crate training isn't a priority of yours then I can help to provide good habits that your pet can take home with them.

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.

About: I grew up in the country and took care of a variety of animals from a young age. I have many years experience with domestic as well as farm animals. I have been lucky enough to have always been liked by animals and enjoy their company. I have a flexible schedule and offer a variety of services from overnight sitting, to drop ins and pet walking(cats included!). If in your home pet care is what you’re looking for please reach out! My services are in your home and aim to maintain your pet’s existing routine. I provide regular updates and photos to provide peace of mind. I have experience administering medication and will ensure your pet’s needs are met.

About: Hi! I’m a mom of three with a 8 year old pup and 2 year old cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is being well taken care of. I offer dog walking in your neighbourhood, drop in’s and dog boarding in my home. Dogs must be good with small children, dogs and cats if staying in my home. I’m currently working part-time. I can be very flexible with your schedule needs, I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals. Thank you! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get outdoor breaks (for dogs), and have clean litter boxes (for cats). I spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not just “checked on.” I’m respectful of your space, and I always make sure everything is secure and tidy when I leave.
