“Amber took amazing care of my golden retriever,Mabel, while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure Mabel was comfortable and happy, providing regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. Amber gave Mabel plenty of extra snuggles and attention to help her settle in, which I truly appreciated! Mabel enjoyed lots of muddy, wet walks alongside Amber’s lovely dog, Copper, and was treated to enrichment activities and treats that kept her engaged. When I picked Mabel up, she was calm, happy, and relaxed—a true testament to the care Amber provided. Highly recommend! Thank you so much, Amber! Mabel looks forward to her next visit!”
“We had a family emergency and Andrea was willing to be flexible and keep us updated on our pup so we could focus on what we needed to without having to worry at all about our dog at home. Andrea has been making our dog feel loved and cared for by boarding when needed and daycare hangouts for over six months. She is amazing and our dog loves every minute with her!”
“Susan was amazing! She was thorough before we left and so on it while we were away. We received picture and text updates regarding our pets. I have honestly never met such a caring and loving pet sitter like Susan. We would highly recommend her to her anyone with dogs or cats. Thank you Susan for being so amazing!”
“Jim and his family did a wonderful job looking after Stella! Jim very kindly accommodated us on short notice, was very friendly and communicative, and stayed in regular contact during Stella's stay. Stella came home looking happy and energized. Wouldn't hesitate to have Stella say over again!”
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.
“My pup looked like she had an amazing time! Lots of walks and play time. Jay was great with sending pictures and keeping us updated on our trip. Easy to book, able to take us last minute. Definitely recommend and will use again.”
“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.”
“Taryn is absolutely terrific! I really appreciated the active communication, she sent lots of photos updates and it was easy to tell the great care that our girl was receiving. Taryn was flexible and accommodating to our requests leaving us very at ease. Will most definitely book again and would recommend to anyone! 😊 thank you so much again!”
“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 !”
“Denyse took amazing care of our dog Stella! It's very obvious that Denyse has lots of experience caring for older dogs, and she was very communicative before, during, and after our booking. Stella was so comfortable that she barely wanted to leave when we picked her up! Would not hesitate to ask Denyse to look after Stella again, or recommend her to anyone.”
“Tove was great! Even picked Cosmo up where we were. He seemed quite content when I picked him up!”
“Jennifer was so accommodating and took care of our high needs dog with ease! He was not feeling well and she still took him on and gave all the meds etc. He was well loved and got lots of walks and snuggles! Highly recommend!”
“This lovely family took such good care of Opie. I know he was a bit of a brat but they handled him well. He loved their boys and was so tired he slept for 2 days. Thank you for your care and attention.”
“Lisa and David really were excellent hosts for our dog. Kept her active, stimulated, and welcomed her with their other pets. Sent lots of photos and updates. She will be happy to return to see her friends (human and canine :-)).”
“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!”
“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:)”
About: I grew up always having a family dog in the house, teaching me dog care from an early age. After moving out of my parents house I continued caring for friends and family’s dogs whenever they are out of town. I have experience with various breeds and will ensure your dog receives daily exercise and companionship. I am comfortable managing different energy levels and personalities. I am currently between jobs so will be mostly home with your dog. My husband works part time and between the two of us someone will be usually be home. We have a fenced in yard. I always prioritize safety, whether that’s during walks or playtime, ensuring all interactions are positive and secure. Any overnight boarding will require our dogs meet beforehand to ensure they can get along. We have a crate if you like your dog to be crated.

“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.”
