I treat your pet like family.

Pet care experience

My husband Colin and I live in Richmond, BC and we would be be looking after your pets in our home or at your home. He is also an experienced dog walker/trainer*** First of all, I am an avid animal lover. So much so that I feel I don't ever want to work doing anything else but the care of creatures from all walks of life. In 2016, my husband and I went on a 13 month trip across Europe and Asia. During this trip we worked many jobs with dogs/cats from all over the world. We both have experience working and training dogs in particular of all sizes. We are 100% about the love and care of animals. If you choose my husband and I we will make sure your animal gets the most love and care that is humanly possible.

Marlee took good care of May. She took May for a walk and updated us with pictures. Will definitely come back again.

The agreed upon expectations were not met in numerous ways. I had to hire another Rover walker to come to the house to check on things because I couldn't get a hold of Marlee. She brought guests to our house without us knowing, dog poop wasn't cleaned up, and our cat ended up in emergency care after their stay. The cat has congestive heart failure and requires a very specific medication regiment. He was in good condition when we left and Marlee gave us no indication anything was wrong. Little things we agreed upon weren't getting done until we asked for confirmation. She did take our dog for walks and played with her, which was really nice. We trusted the reviews left by others and were not nearly as satisfied.

Very good experience. I booked with Marlee the last minute before my trip. My dog was taken good care of and I got a lot of beautiful photos

Marlee and Colin are wonderful. They are caring and communicative. They bonded with our crazy dog right away and we then felt very comfortable about being on vacation, knowing our dog would be safe and happy. Marlee kept in touch through the week we were away and sent photos showing all the fun our dog was having in our absence. You can feel very confident that your pet will be loved and cared for in your absence if you leave it with Marlee and Colin. Thank you, Marlee and Colin! I know that Dora’s missing you!

Information Marlee R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog requires any special treatment, has any triggers or has any dietary restrictions. It's also nice to know your dogs activity level, quirks and temperament.

A typical day

Typically I will wake up and take your pet out for a walk around our block, then come back and feed them. We always try and give dogs at least 2 walks a day, more or less depending on their energy level and health status.
