FB, insta as Westcoast Woof and formerly Tofino Dogsitting Be sure you're getting the BEST experience with my service, and a happy and tired dog. I love spending time with pets, young or old, tiny or large, slow or energetic for daily walks, 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.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
'Longer stay, multiple weekly walks' discounts available I am affiliated with Westcoast Woof/Sooke / Tofino Dogsitting / sookedogwalker and insured and have pet first aid Located in Sooke on Vancouver Island, but are always happy to travel to care for your pets. I only offer 'in your home' overnight service, walks, drop-ins and daycare . 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 ! Wherever I care for a pet, it is always pets needs first. Pick-up rate - covers fuel and driving time (less if I have other pets in the same area): Sooke: first pick-up free East Sooke: $18 Langford: $19 Victoria: $25 Sidney: $29 Duncan: $52
Ratings and reviews
Etienne was prompt to the agreed upon time. He did negotiate the time slightly as he wanted to give the most efficient and best use of time to all the dog he was walking today. He listened to the quirks about my dog and respected them. I trusted him on the first walk and Merida came back happy and smiling. She wants to walk with him again.
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.
Great communication.

Schedule
PLEASE READ: Active daycare covers 6 hours active care (your dog will most likely be romping with other dogs for his/her stay. 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 they would join (depending on weather and heat). I will discuss their individual needs with you. If you like your dog not be around other pets for sits please inquire about my VIP option (from $200 a day+travel)
