Hey, we are Ali & Chad and we hope to become your dog (or cats) new best friend! We would like to start this off by saying thanks for considering us to look after your precious family member! We are friendly, knowledgeable, active, responsible, and reliable. We run a full time dog hiking business and will be with your pup full time throughout the day. We also offer a variety of pet sitting services, that can accommodate any busy schedule! We cater the care provided to the specific needs of each pup. We can meet the needs of high energy dogs, as well as lower energy dogs that don’t need as much exercise. We typically do one morning and one afternoon hike with our dog walking business every weekday & we are happy to bring your pup along if this is something that they would enjoy! We live in a heritage house right beside St. Anne’s academy. It is clean, safe, quiet, and (most importantly) dog friendly! Me and my partner are both home full time, so during their stay with us, your pooch will get all of the love and attention that they deserve! We are comfortable accommodating dogs with specific medical or behavioural needs, and have experience administering medication, looking after senior dogs, dogs with mesoesophagus.. etc. We are also certified in canine first aid and CPR! Note: for the safety of all those that I board, I require that all dogs are up to date on Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP vaccinations. We are also comfortable caring for cats of all shapes and sizes! We both grew up with cats & can provide drop in visits to care for them while you are out of town! We are always excited to have some kitty cuddle/ play time in our day! If you have gotten this far into reading our profile, thanks! Lastly, we would like to say that we know how scary it can be to leave your beloved best friend in the care of somebody that you don’t know. We strive to make this process as stress free as possible, and will do our very best to communicate with you frequently throughout the duration of their stay, and send you many updates! We vouch to treat your pup like it’s our own, have lots of fun, make lots of memories, keep them safe, and take outstanding care of him or her during our time together!! A few things to note: • Due to our current housing situation, we aren’t able to provide dog boarding or daycare services for pups that are highly vocal (A few barks here and there are obviously okay)! •Our boarding rate covers a 24 hr period. If pick up will be later on in the day, an additional day care rate will apply. Check out our Instagram @vanislandpups for daily updates on walks, hikes, and stays! We look forward to hearing from you and your pup! Shoot us a message and let me know a little bit about you & your specific care needs!
