“Andrea was very responsive and took great care of our pup. Ou dog got lots of cuddles and was even allowed to sleep in her room despite being a snoring machine. I would certainly recommend her. Thanks Andrea and family!”

“Maryanne and her family were wonderful! They watched our 8 year old, food obsessed dogie, Stella for four nights. They took her on walks, off leash dog park time and truly let her feel like she was part of the family. Maryanne was very easy to get a hold of if necessary and provided great photo updates. I got to meet her husband, her daughter and Max (their fur baby) for a meet and great before we cemented the sleepover and I felt very confident that the family LOVES DOGS! My husband and I are thrilled with Stella's easy temperament when we picked her up, which we know is a testament to the love, care and consideration that they gave to help welcome our Stella into their family. Thank you so much, truly, it took a weight off our shoulders while we were away.”

“Amy is without a doubt the best puppysitter we have ever had! She is thoughtful, calm, caring and above all loves and respects dogs for who they are and their needs. Amy takes the time to send updates and pictures which puts a dog parent at ease while away. Amy also is a great adventure buddy and goes on lots of hikes and walks, which was perfect for our forest-loving dog. Our dog Odin came back from a stay with Amy looking rested but tired from adventure, calm, happy, and well cared for. Her lovely place/location is ideal for a puppy staycation. Thank you Amy! Odin misses you!”

“Bianca’s energy is calm and welcoming, we felt good leaving Emmy (senior Pomeranian) in her care. We received cute photos over the weekend and picked up a happy, rested gal. We’d be happy to have Bianca sit for us again!”

Dakota B.

“Absolutely cannot recommend Criofan enough. Her and her partner made an amazing home away from home for our pup. He has a forever best friend with her sweet pup Albert and was so well taken care of. Perfect experience for us”

“We are very impressed with the care that Heather provided for our boy Duncan. Our dog is on a lot of different medications given at different times of the day and the schedule was followed to a T. Will be keeping Heather in mind for the future. Thanks for treating our boy like the Prince he is!”

“Juno had a lovely stay at Bill and Gerie’s! Communication with them was great and we loved getting updates sent to us. We’ll definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”

“You can tell right away when you meet Linda that she loves dogs. Her set up is amazing with separate roomy cages for each dog that has enough space for a crate and eating area. Seconds after getting home and saying hello to everyone Ipa went straight to her fav sleeping spot and has not moved. So glad we connected with this fantastic service.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

“Joanne was so sweet and accommodating and treated our dog Brody like her own and also sent daily photos and updates. Would definitely use her again!!”

Megan G.

“Communicative and flexible. Khione had a lovely time and was tired when picked up, she didn’t even seem to miss me! Would absolutely use again :)”

Zenobia B.

“Sjako and his family took wonderful care of our little Emilio. His kids were so sweet and gentle with our dog and they took Emilio out for a hike as well. We appreciated the great communication and the photos of our dog while we were away. Thanks so much!”

Britt T.

“Monica and her family are amazing ! She put so much love and care into watching Lehu. She sent us multiple updates a day and was quick to respond. Lehu got many walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park. This was the first time we used a sitter, so it was comforting to know we could trust our dog with Monica. I hope she is free next time we need a sitter 💛”

Melialani H.

“Daisy and family were great with Lucas! Daisy offered time for a meet and greet beforehand which was helpful. Lucas seemed to have a great time and he was cared for well. We’d happily recommend Daisy. Thanks for taking great care of Lucas!”
