Pet care experience

Dog sitting in our home in Sidney.

We are an experienced professional dog-loving couple who care for dogs in our pet-friendly home. Adam works shift work at BC Ferries, and I work a 9-5 Sidney. We live very close to the airport. You are welcome to leave your car in our driveway, and we are happy to pick you up and drop you off at the airport if we can make it work with our work schedules. We have a large fenced backyard and provide multiple daily walks and loads of cuddle time. We are experienced at providing medication and caring for special needs dogs of all types. We screen all our doggie guests, and all the dogs we care for must get along well with other dogs and be ok to be left alone for a few hours at a time. We will only consider dogs under the age of 1 if they are fully house trained and have been socialized well with other dogs.

Quill loved his stay with Joanne and Adam. And I was so appreciative of how accommodating they were and with sending regular updates on my boy! I am so grateful to have found them on Rover - they are the perfect dog sitters and showed Quill so much love! Thank you Joanne and Adam!!!

Joanne and Adam took very good care of our girl. We got updates and pictures and Angel was so happy and relaxed when we got her back. I cant recommend them enough to look after your furbabies.

Joanne and Adam were the greatest people I could've asked for to watch my golden. They have a very obvious love for dogs, but also know what to do in all sorts of situations with a wealth of experience with all sorts of dogs. I know my pup wasn't ready to leave! As a bonus, Joanne drove me to and from the airport, which was above and beyond what I would have expected from the experience. If I could rate them 6 stars I would!

Schedule

Adam works shifts at the ferries and is often home during the weekdays. Depending on his schedule, the dogs may be on their own for a few hours in the morning or afternoon during the week. I work a 9-5 in Sidney.

We walk twice a day, around 7 am and 5 pm. We also love to explore the local hiking trails and beaches with dogs who are young and fit enough for those adventures.
