“Amber was fantastic with our Boomer! He is still sleeping off his adventures with her and Copper! He loved his time with her that he almost didn’t want to come home! Will definitely use Amber again!”
“Adam looked after my Havanese Ryan very well for a 5 day boarding, and his two small dogs Pip and Poppy also helped Ryan feel at home. My dog has significant allergies and needs to wear a belly band inside other people’s homes, but Adam dealt with everything with no problems. I have already booked another stay!”
“Jim, Nicole and family were incredible hosts for our golden retriever Maggie. Communication was excellent, they sent regular pictures, took Maggie on great walks and gave her lots of love while we were away. We felt very fortunate to have found such a nice home away from home for our pup. Thanks again for everything!”
“Susan was so good with my old blind dog. My dog is quite needy and Susan attended to her needs with dedication and care. Very impressed with her. I will hire her again anytime I need care for my dog.”
“Andrea goes above and beyond when dog sitting our pooch Echo. Echo had a blast with Andrea and her dog Maggie. They kept active by going on walks and hanging out in the garden and yard. Echo is always nice and pooped when he returns home😊Thank you Andrea and Maggie for taking such good care of our little doggo!”
“It was our first time using Rover and Ingrid and her family made us feel comfortable and kept us in the loop with day to day updates on Daisy. We very much appreciate all the care and compassion they showed our sweet senior pup, we would highly recommend Ingrid.”
“Our little pup had the best time with Jay and the other doggos! We got photo updates of Lucas’s adventures and he came back exhausted from all the fun he had! Can’t recommend Jay enough :)”
About: I have always had a dog since a young age mostly large breeds (ridgebacks and labs) and now currently a small breed (frenchton). I also had many cats as a kid. I often take care of friends/family pets when they are away or at work. While I do not have any rover experience yet, I am a very responsible dog owner, mother, home owner and entrepreneur. Your pets will be safe and cared for with me! I work Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm. I have flexibility in my days/schedule and can leave to walk or to let animals outside. I am a morning person and love to be outdoors and to get fresh air before work. Weekends I am often outdoors and I am not afraid of the rain (I lived in Tofino for 16 years haha). I do have kids in the house 50% of the time ages 8 and 10. I also have a Frenchton Frida age 4 who is very chill and friendly. My kids have grown up with my mom’s two giant Rhodesian ridgebacks their entire lives so we are all used to big dogs too! We adore pets and treat them like a part of the family. We cuddle on the couch with Frida and she sleeps in bed with the kids. We have a fully fenced secure back yard and love going on walks through the forest and to the fields nearby to throw a ball. Another favourite for us is beach walks. If your dog is calm there is also the option of them coming to work with me too. Frida typically joins me at work and snoozes behind the desk in her little bed.
“Such a lovely family! We spent 3 nights away knowing Charlie was in caring hands and have no doubt she received all the ball throws and cuddles her heart desired. Photo updates were appreciated as well :) Thank you Catherine and Doug!”
About: Passionate dog walker ready to care for your furry friend. Tailored walks, big smiles. From hikes to the dog park, whatever your preference is i can manage it. I work from home and I generally go for a mid morning walk and an afternoon walk. Happy to be in the forest or neighborhood. I have the first floor of my home outfitted for dog care, and a quick walk away from the puntledge river. Happy to board and walk dogs.
“Taryn is a kind and conscientious dogsitter. I would recommend her to anyone for dog sitting. Also, my car wouldn’t start after I picked up my dog and she was so helpful during this unforeseeable hiccup. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality, Taryn!”
“We are absolutely delighted with how Jennifer and her family looked after our 4-year-old choc lab! She sent us daily updates with pics: there was forest running, puddle jumping, ocean splashing and lots of socialising with her dog Bacon 🐶 Our pet came back tired and happy - we will be coming back 😀”
“Zack is an absolute dream to watch your beloved pets. He sent me tons of photos in which I could tell Duke really bonded with him. My house was spotless upon my return, and Zack was super flexible and reliable with his communication. I would book with him one thousand times over. It was a pleasure to have Zack in my house and watching my best friend.”
“What wonderful dog sitters Chelsea and Beau are. Fabulous communication before the stay. Got lots of updates and pictures while there which was great! Definitely would recommend and use again! Thanks very much:)”
“Marie took really great care of our golden retriever Maggie! We really appreciated the pictures and little updates and Maggie was so happy on your walks and adventures. She got along really well with your two sweet dogs. Thank you!!!”
“Denyse is SO great. It was clear our dog loved her, he turned around when he left to give her a little touch on the nose goodbye, which was so sweet and it really warmed my heart. We would recommend her 100% and will continue to bring our dog back to her in the future.”
“Kayleen is fantastic! Our lab Loki had an extended stay and came home happy, healthy and tired! I appreciated daily updates and she is always super responsive. Thank you!”
“Honey had a great time at Carol's, it was her first time away from us and she was very reassuring with Honey. Loved that Carol kept in touch while we were away and sent us pics of Honey on her vacation. Her dogs are also very sweet and patient. Thanks Carol !”
About: Puppies to seniors, simple to medically challenged, I have had experience with most. Friends, families and neighbours have entrusted me with their fur babies, and have never been disappointed. References always available. I am retired, and get my daily joy caring for pets, and my favorite part of my day is taking pups walking in the woods. Walking, playing, cuddling, feed and any meds. Animals with special needs are in good hands as I have cared for blind and deaf animals. Puppy traing is fun, and seniors are given plenty of time to meander as much as their comfort allows.
“We were very happy with Michaela's understanding and patience of our dog puppy energy. We are grateful to have felt so comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Thank you Michaela, we will book with you again in the future.”

Terri-Anne J.
“Terri is a very kind and loving petowner , she treated my dogs as she treats her own. Her yard is fenced which was great but the dogs also enjoyed daily outings to the beach or forest trails that are in close proximity to her house. I couldnt have asked for a better dog sitter, so much better then leaving my pooches at a kennel.”

Linda G.
“Linda has been consistently taking care of dogs for many years. She housed my little girl for 3 months while I went on a traveling adventure. She took the absolute best care of my dog, with lots of love, walks and attention. I have also know Linda to take in a rescue dog, one which was not an easy task as the dog was blind, deaf, reactive and extremely overweight. Teddy (the dog) went from being a very sad dog who could barely walk to one that was so happy and could easily saunter down the forest paths for long walks. Linda took so much time and her patience was endless in rejuvenating Teddy. Linda loves to take dogs out for trail walks in quiet rural destinations. Don't hesitate to have Linda take care of your animals, she will treat your fur babies with extreme care, kindness and compassion.”
Michaela C.
“We were very happy with Michaela's understanding and patience of our dog puppy energy. We are grateful to have felt so comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Thank you Michaela, we will book with you again in the future.”
