Pet care experience
9 years experience (Tofino, Ucluelet, Sooke, Victoria, Calgary). Prior I have worked as a horseback guide on a wilderness ranch in the Chilcootins and as a whale/bear watching guide in Tofino, for 7 years. You can find me on socials: GGL. fb, insta as Westcoast Woof and formerly Tofino Dogsitting Be sure you're getting the BEST experience with my service I love spending time with pets, for daily walks or extended care durations and give their owners peace of mind, whilst they are out to work or play. I keep a calm, non-excited manner with all dogs so that they have a relaxed, yet fun and exciting time with me. It is my goal to return a happy, tired dog back to their owner. If you have a reactive dog or just want your pup to be walked alone, please inquire for my single-walk VIP rate. Pick-up rate - covers fuel and driving time (less if I have other pets in the same area): Sooke: free East Sooke: $15 Langford: $17 Victoria: $22 Sidney: $25 Duncan: $50 PS: My rover rates are a bit higher as they have to cover the high RVR fee, my insurance, taxes etc :) - just to be upfront

Etienne also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews

Etienne and Clare are always top of my list for dog walking and care - Poe loves her walks with them!

Etienne is prompt in his replies, great with our dog, and does a great job with handling his senior concerns.



Etienne was a great cat sitter. He was gentle and respected the cats’ space, and kept everything clean and tidy. He also sent me pictures and updates. Thanks so much!


Etienne was great with the dogs, easy to communicate with and a lovely person. We used him while on vacation and the dogs were well taken care of on their walks. Will totally use him the future.

Information Etienne H. would like to know about your pet
All breeds are amazing, be it the tiniest Pomeranian, the largest Great Dane or the most muscly, yet happy Pitbull. No breed or size preferences. I believe that all dogs are the product of how they have been raised. We will have a great time ! I am now available in the greater Victoria/Sooke area. PLEASE READ: Daycare covers up to 6 hours care, extra time might be an add-on fee I am available for Canada-wide dog/house sits and VIP (Very Important Pooch). Travel arrangements would need to be discussed prior to booking. Please ask me for reduced daily rate for extended stays and multiple pets.
A typical day
I love to have engaging walks or low impact bike rides on our beaches and on the trails around us and for our older dog clients we offer walks to the park, through town, to a close by area and to just keep them good company. Whatever is best for your dog, I will make it happen. Every walk will be tailored to your dogs needs, be it a young puppy, an old gentle dog or an high energy dog.

Availability
PLEASE READ: Daycare covers 6 hours care, extra time might be an add-on fee If I come to your home to look after your pet / pets, I will be supervising them pretty much all of the day and night and usually take them to wherever I am going. 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 (depending on weather and heat). I will discuss their individual needs with you.
