“It was apparent right from the start that Susan is a caring, kind, friendly and just loves dogs! This was my 3 year old Labradoodle, Orla, first overnight stay with a dog sitter, so a little trepidation on my part. But Orla was happy & seemed quite "at home" when I picked her up the next day. I would recommend Susan & Robin in a heartbeat! Five stars for sure!”
“Very accommodating and caring. Thank you for taking Barley on short notice! It was such a relief to know he was in safe hands, getting lots of attention and walks.”
“Caitlin and Sten were fantastic! They were responsive and accommodating from the start, and my girl Ellie had a great time staying with them. She loved playing with Indie and had so much fun playing fetch with Sten. I really appreciated all the photos and updates they sent- it made me feel completely at ease knowing Ellie was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your fur baby!”
“Coraline and Valentin were wonderful! Friendly, flexible, compassionate, and obviously Robby was very comfortable with them. Thank you! Hopefully we'll see you again!”
“I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter for my sweet Ellie. Tyler was very communicative and trustworthy from the very beginning, and bonded with Ellie right away. He sent updates and photos very regularly, and was incredibly responsive to Ellie’s needs and personality. He even taught her a new trick! I had no doubt that she was happy and comfortable and very well cared for the entire time I was away. I will definitely be asking Tyler to dog-sit again !”
“Lindsey took such great care of my boy!! He was totally pooped and content when I got him back. She sent photos and updates and I felt really comfortable leaving my precious pup with her and her crew! Would definitely recommend and rebook.”
“Amazing! This was my first time leaving Lucca with a pet sitter and so I was fairly nervous. Haley and Mark were amazing. Lucca needs at least 3 or so good walks/runs each week to be at his best and Haley and Mark delivered! I received regular updates with pictures and Lucca looked so happy. I also worried that Lucca could come home with some undesirable new behaviour but Haley and Mark were respectful of the rules we have for him and Lucca came back to us just as we left him. Haley and Mark are great. I highly recommend them and I will certainly consider them.firat if I need a dog sitter again.”

Their home was a very nice environment and I would absolutely have Leela stay with Marcel anytime. Highly recommend, and thanks for helping us out by taking such good care of her. Jen, Mike and Leela the Corgi!”
“Adam was great to work with. He took great care of Goompy for a month while we were abroad. He updated us with photos on a weekly basis and took Goompy for walks and runs in the woods. We will definitely use him again - if he wants Goompy back. lol”
“Bailey had a wonderful stay with Antonia and Jordon’s family and settled in so quickly. She came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will try to book with 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.

Complete with toys, cozy beds, and tons of love. Ryan is attentive, patient, and truly committed to animals. I would absolutely trust him with my own pet without hesitation.”
