“Joanna and Mark stayed for one week in our home and cared for our high energy/anxious dog and laid back cat. They exceeded all expectations! Both are incredibly kind, caring and responsible people. Their #1 priority was the wellbeing of our pets, and they strived to make sure they were happy and healthy. Our dog and cat quickly fell in love with Joanna and Mark. They provided morning and evening updates along with photos to help put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Our home was treated with respect, and we returned to a sparkling clean house! We highly recommend them, and look forward to having them stay again in the future.”
“James looked after our two dogs, and cat in our home for two days and one night. He was able to accommodate us with short notice which was very much appreciated. He was excellent with the pets, and was very respectful of our home. We look forward to working with him again in the future!”
About: Originally from England but I’ve been living in Canada since 2017. I grew up in a household filled with various pets including 5 dogs and I adored all of them!! I miss being around animals very much, I would love a dog myself but unfortunately it’s not the right time for me, so I would love the chance to take care of your furry babies! Most of my experience is from looking after friends & family pets but I would love to spend more time with dogs as it helps with my mental well-being. I work in a restaurant here in Tofino but my schedule has a variety of evening and day shifts so depending on when you need your furry friend looked after hopefully we can make it work with my schedule and yours. If you are interested in contacting me, it would be great if you could send me yours and your dogs detail's and what kind of care they require. If you would like to meet me beforehand, to have peace of mind that your furr baby is in safe hands, then I’m happy to do so. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
“Sarah was nothing short of amazing as she watched my pup, Moose, while I went on a kayaking excursion. She communicated well, is knowledgeable, and has a kind and welcoming personality. All of these things made me very comfortable leaving Moose with her for the day. She checked in and sent photos regularly, and Moose was a tired out pup when I picked him up!! I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thanks so much, Sarah!!!”

About: Experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior cats requiring more attention and patience. What sets me apart from other sitters is my commitment to providing personalized care. I ensure that each animal is not only fed and safe but also mentally stimulated and emotionally comfortable.

“Hanna was amazing! She took a perfect care of our pup, was very quick to respond to our request and accommodate all last-minute changes we had. Our pup seemed to have had a wonderful time with her as well and seemed quite relaxed and happy with Hanna. We'd love to ask for Hanna's help in the future whenever we need a sitter.”
“Excellent dog sitting! Cannot say enough great things. Not only did Claire help us plan our trip to a Tofino, her and her partner Etienne took fantastic care of our boy Charlie! Highly recommend their services. Charlie was a happy boy and had a great time to boot! Thanks again!”
“Cherese is literally a pet owners dream. I have never felt so at ease having a person watch my pup and my house. Duke was so happy when we returned, her communication was amazing, and she went above and beyond in taking him on adventures and caring for our favourite guy. Some people just have that natural connection with animals and Cherese is one of those people. And our home was in perfect order. I highly recommend her for walking/ watching your furry family members. We are so happy we found her.”
About: I have had a dog and cat since I was born! We started living half the year in Mexico with my 3 daughters and husband in 2008. I joined Sayulita Animals while I was homeschooling my daughter and started fostering dogs in my home with my family. I have loved and nurtured over 40 different dogs including pitbulls, 3 legged Huskies and tiny sick puppies. Every dog had a different personality that comes with different needs. I give my animals alot of exercise and beach time. I'm a sucker for letting them on the furniture but also can follow friends boundaries and crate ideology. I like to keep my animals safe. Emotionally and physically. I love cats equally to dogs and my perfect Sunday is snuggling my dog and cat in my bed and listening to the rain. I am a semi retired restaurant owner who works part time teaching swimming lessons.My animals come to school drop off and soccer games and I rarely leave the animals alone. Of course the cat doesn't come along. If I commit to pet care, it is important my dog Camino is able to join the walks and beach adventures. I would definitely need other dogs that get on well with other animals. I am also flexible to leave my dog at home if your dog needs do solo walks and care. I follow the guidelines of the client and always use a leash for dogs. I am very careful in exchanging between car and home and use common sense and skills I use as a mother of 3. I have worked with many dogs during my fostering work .

Jessica I.
“I can’t recommend Jessenough as a dog walker!! She is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely care about the dogs she takes care of. My pup absolutely adores her and always comes home happy and well-exercised. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such loving and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like their own, Jess is the one”

Nicole P.
“As a person who is a little anxious about their pets and who watches them, I have to say Nic has the best ability at putting me at ease. By either sending me photos of my little fur babies playing in the sand or snuggled up in her lap during the rainy days, following my very specific borderline OCD instructions to the letter and assuring me I wasn't asking too much of her. On top of all of that, she left all my pet items perfectly in their spots, hung up the leash exactly where she found it, and left a note stating how long she walked my dog and how well he did on his walkie. My only negative is that she has spoiled me and my pets rotten, now all other pet sitters pale in her comparison.”
