“Doug and Janice were amazing to my little guy! Despite his high energy and stubbornness, they took great care of him and Winston came home happy and ready for a lazy day!! They went above and beyond and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Paula is amazing! It’s easy to see her passion and love for animals within seconds of meeting her. For someone who has had a bad experience leaving Todd at a kennel, Paula was kind, reassuring and confident that she would be able to make him feel at home. We were away for 2 weeks and received photos/updates daily. Todd enjoyed spending time with Paula in her beautiful yard. We are so grateful to Paula and 200% recommend her to anyone. Thank you!”
“Shawneen and Sam were very friendly and took very good care of Sadie. Sadie was one happy pup, when we picked her up. She definitely misses her new friends and all the play time.”
“If I could give ten stars I would! The first time we have ever left our dog with anyone since moving to the island was with this absolutely amazing couple. Charlie had an incredible time, I got updates and pictures, and she came home totally happy after her visit. It gave us such peace of mind to leave her in good hands. I will absolutely be using them again ❤️”
About: Hi there! I'm thrilled you're considering me to care for your furry friend!. Growing up in Saskatchewan, I spent my childhood with Labs, learning the ins and outs of canine companionship from an early age. When I moved to the West Coast, my passion for dogs continued as I worked for "Release the Hounds," a professional dog hiking company, gaining valuable experience with a variety of breeds and personalities in outdoor settings. At home, our family includes Artoo, a sweet Mexican rescue who has taught us so much about patience and understanding, especially when it comes to separation anxiety. I know firsthand how important it is for you to feel secure that your dog is happy, safe, and well-cared for during the day when you are away. That's why I'm committed to providing updates, ensuring you know your furry friend is getting their exercise, bathroom breaks and comfort. I offer a range of services to suit your needs, including 30-60 minute dog walks and overnight boarding in our loving home environment. In the future, I would love to offer 1-2 hour forest hikes! Whether it's an energetic hike or a leisurely city stroll, I'm excited to spend quality time with your pup! Pet care is a part of our everyday as we currently have a Mexican rescue pup, Artoo. Aside from getting her out in the neighbourhood sniffing, we go out on hiking adventures every weekend, and even sometimes in the weekday evenings in summer in those longer summer days. We have a fenced yard to keep our pup contained. We take our pup, Artoo out for 3-4 walks per day to get her neighbourhood sniffing in.
“Chica had a great stay with Adam! He kept me updated and she had lots of other dogs around to play with. He even had her out for drives with him which is her favourite! She came home happy and tired. Thanks Adam!”
“Rainbow stayed with Amy and her family for a week. We can tell rainbow enjoyed her stay. Would recommend. Also the daily pictures were a nice touch. Will definitely e re booking in the near future.”
“Milo had such a blast with Marcy and friends. I really appreciated all of the videos and pics to see he was having so much fun. Definitely recommend and would have her take care of Milo again ❤️”
“Communication and coordination went seamlessly with Sara. We threw a bit of a curved ball at her and she handled it profesionally; she seems to have a very solid foundation on animal behaviour, I'm guessing from past experienced at shelters. Thank you for taking care of Gordo while he was on edge and playing catch with us in trying to make new friends for him ♡”

“Marcel took my dog Molly for the day while I was at a meeting and she was instantly comfortable with them and their pup. I was in from out of town and had to make a quick decision and I am so glad I found this option for my dog Molly 🐾 If we’re back this way I will be sure to contact you again!”
“Caitlin and Sten (and Indiana Bones!) are fantastic. They helped make my hound Clementine feel right at home, and were very attentive to any changes in her eating habits or moods. They were great at providing updates, so I felt confident that Clementine was in good hands. Indie is a sweetheart, and I know that Clemmie had a wonderful time Clemmie playing (and napping!) with her new dog friend.”
“Kenzie and Dominic were great with my pup! He came home very happy and relaxed. They were very flexible with me and accommodating, and seemed very trustworthy and caring. Would definitely book again!”
“Lauren and Andy and their dog Zeus were very welcoming to my dog Robby. They were caring and diligent and very flexible. I would certainly recommend them to anyone, and look forward to using their services again.”
“Tyler was amazing. Kita loved her time with him, as evidenced by all the wonderful photos we received of her stay. Would highly recommend Tyler and Kita will be visiting him again soon.”
“Moira was very happy to be with Sharon and happy when I picked her up. Sharon went out of her way to accommodate my last minute request and treated Moira like family. I felt very comfortable with Sharon and her home was like a puppy palace. Thank you for the excellent service and love you provided my Moira. Will definitely use in the future:)”

Parksville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you to Alexia and her family for making Sonny's stay such a great experience. We felt at ease from the moment Sonny stepped into your yard and knew she was with a dog family who understood the one-on-one needs of a senior pet. She really looked like one of the family with all the photos, and extended our holiday with the comfort of knowing she was in good hands. It's a really special place for dogs and would highly recommend Alexia and her family for creating such a welcoming environment. I jokingly call it "Sonny's country club" as that's what it felt like. Thank you so much!
