Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I live in the garden suite of a house that is not pet-friendly, so I can only provide house sitting services at the moment. However, I would be more than happy to take your dog on as many outdoor adventures as they (and you) would like!

Information Alice & Marita C. would like to know about your pet

Does the dog have any disease, allergies, or behavioral issues that I should know about? Do they have any special needs? What is their daily schedule? What are their sleep habits? How do they cope with noise?

A typical day

It will depend on the dog's needs and preferences, but I am open to all the fun activities! Personally, I love taking dogs on hikes, swimming, long strolls in the woods, and of course dog parks (if they enjoy socializing with other dogs). Lastly, if your dog loves going to the beach, I'm all in!

Pet care experience

Alice: I am an enthusiastic and patient person, a proponent of lifelong learning, and a lover of animals, especially dogs. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering and a Master of Engineering degree in biomedical engineering and am currently working as a Clinical Engineer with the Biomedical Engineering Department in the Lower Mainland. During my life, I have had the good fortune of looking after three of my own dogs (an English Cocker Spaniel, a rescue mutt, and a Mini Schnauzer). Moreover, I have done an extensive amount of dog sitting for my friends and family. While caring for these beloved pets, I became proficient at grooming and behavioural training e.g. sitting, shaking, rolling over, coming on command, not barking, knowing their limits, etc. I believe that, like humans, dogs should be taught and interacted in a manner that suits their personalities. As such, when meeting a new dog, I create a training and care plan according to their character traits. If you think that I might be a good fit, please get in touch. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet! P.S. My drop-ins and walks are at least 45-min long.

Alice & Marita are absolutely incredible! They gave us a great vibe right from the start. Their communication was amazing! They sent lots of updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. We could tell our dog Willow was immediately very comfortable with them. They left our house immaculate and our fur baby very happy. We would use them again in a heart beat!

I booked Alice & Marita this past weekend and they were fantastic! I’ve never felt so confident in anyone watching my pup. I have a high energy 2 year old golden retriever who requires lots of love and walks. Alice & Marita were so awesome, they kept him busy and having fun the entire weekend and even taught him how to swim! They gave me lots of updates through the weekend to let me know he was doing great, he always had a big smile on. I hope to book them again any time I need a dog sitter in the future ? can’t thank them enough!
