5* ''in your home'' dog sitter
Pet care experience
I was raised on a dairy farm in the UK, and I studied Marine Biology at University. I have worked as a whale watch guide, a server and I am now a part time paramedic as well as a long time dog owner and lover ! I believe a happy dog is a tired dog! When I look after your dog and your home - we walk, we run, we bike ride! I keep your dog calm and focused throughout our time together, and can work with your dog on any behavioral issues they may have. I try to keep the excitement level down and the calm level feelings consistent. The end result is always a tired happy dog! I have experience with elderly dogs, special needs and medication administration. My profile is currently set to ''in you home'' dog sits. If you book, I would need to discuss travel arrangements with you, as I would have to fly in to YYC, as well as have use of a vehicle while you are away. Longer duration sits can absolutely be accommodated. We have hundreds (if not thousands!) of happy customers, and would be able to provide you with multiple references from past and current clients, and work collegues if you require. Myself and my partner Etienne look after all our dogs at home for our business Tofino Dogsitting and Westcoast Woof - we work as a team, so that we can spend more quality time with them . Etienne is from Germany, and was also a whale watch guide in British Columbia. We have a Facebook and Instagram page ''Tofino Dogsitting'' if you would like to check out our photos and reviews! Also regarding our ''repeat customer score'' - most of our dog sits have been in a town that deals with primarily tourist dogs, and we have had no locals use Rover. This results in a low repeat client score. We do have lots of happy locals that use us on a daily basis, and we would be happy to connect with you on Facebook and Instagram. Thank you for your time.
Reviews
I’m very thankful with Etienne, Gypsy loved the time and walks with him and the other pups And I also enjoyed the pics very much Thank you
Brutus had a great time. Thank you for providing great care to him.
We were very impressed with Claire and the day she spent with Floyd. Claire took Floyd for a bike ride, and a hike, which is great because he is a very energetic dog. He got plenty of water, exercise and attention. Claire also sent us a lot of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we appreciated. We would definitely recommend Claire.
Claire was extremely helpful and accommodating for us! Not to mention our puppy Layla had the best time. We loved how she sent us photo updates while she had her and kept her active. Will definitely use her again when we are in tofino and recommend her to anyone bringing their pup! Thank you Claire!

I only offer 'in your home' service at this time. I would ask that we have some over the phone / video call 'interviews' prior to booking, so that we would meet you and the pets, and we can dial down the details of your home and your requirements. Every dog is different, and every home is unique !

Information Claire M. would like to know about your pet
No breed or size preferences. I believe that all dogs are the product of how they have been raised. But when they come out with myself, I see a new book, a new page and big potential. We shall have a great time !
A typical day
Once I hear from the owners about their dogs individual needs and requirements we then create a plan of action. Depending on the dogs energy level, I love to take the dogs for lots of lovely long walks, once again a tired dog is a happy dog. If I have access to a bicycle, and the dog is up for it, we shall teach him or her to trot alongside and off we go for a bike ride round the neighborhood!

Availability
If I were to come to your home to look after your pet / pets, I would be home with them pretty much all of the day and night. Outings to get groceries etc .. would be when they would be left alone, or if they are good in the car / crate that is also an option. I would discuss their individual needs with you.
