Kelly was terrific and took very good care of our kitties. She went above and beyond when our power went out while we were away. She also kept in touch with us during the entire duration so we knew everything was good at home.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give each dog, I treat them like my own. Your pup Will enjoy 2 daily walks, optional runs around the lake and plenty of cuddles, playtime and personalized attention. I create a safe and happy environment tailored to your dog. Just lost my 15 year old boarder collie and looking to bring some puppy love back into the house. I work from home so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog attention, playtime and potty breaks. I have a fully fenced in yard, live across the street from the park and have the kids every other week. Kids are gentle and loving of dogs Fully fenced in yard, 2 walks a day or runs around Westwood if your dog likes to run. We are a very active outdoor family who enjoys down time and cuddles.

I contacted Dorothy months ahead about a drop-in type visit while my husband and I were to be visiting Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, from California for a family wedding. I scheduled with Dorothy to come to our travel trailer in the Living Forest Campground and RV Park for the Meet n Greet to not only meet us, but how to get in our trailer, all about the dogs and their needs. Dorthy listened to all that was needed and then contacted me by text during the scheduled evening when we were gone to let us know she’d been there and handled everything. There were three dogs to walk in two trailers and Dorothy fed each one and took them for walks to get their business done; what a lifesaver she was so that we could be gone for an extended time and all was handled. I recommend Dorothy without hesitation and will use her again if we ever come back to Nanaimo.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats as a child. As soon as I moved out to Canada, I got my own dog. My kids grew up with all kinds of animals in the house, the animals helped make my house a home. I’ve looked after friends and family pets most of my life and occasionally got paid for it. I took semi retirement early to enjoy life more and work less. I don’t consider caring for a pet a job. I work less the 30 hrs a week so lots of time to care for your pets in your home Lots of exercise, stick to the routine already set up by the owner. Lots of patience as the animal gets to know me and plenty of cuddles along the way. I have experience with seizures and epilepsy

Tara did a drop in visit and dog walk with Haru while I was away for most of the day. She took him on a lovely walk and sent me pictures of their adventure. I came home to a very content pup. Thank you for all the amazing care Tara!

Jillian is such a sweetheart, and my girl Roxy really seems to like her. She stayed with Roxy while my partner and I went out for dinner as Roxy has separation anxiety and Roxy was chill and slept while we were gone! Would recommend Jillian to anyone!
