Pet care experience

One-on-One Care & Hiking🐾

Welcome to your pup's home away from home! We focus on one-on-one pet care, welcoming only one dog at a time to give them the full attention they deserve. Our dog, Rune, loves meeting new dogs and tagging along on adventures, which inspired us to start pet-sitting on Rover. Whether it’s hiking local trails, exploring the outdoors, or just enjoying a fun stroll, we make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and fresh air. We’re here to provide a safe, active, and personalized experience while you’re away! What We Offer: 🐾 Personalized Attention – Your dog’s comfort and happiness are our top priorities. 📸 Photo & Video Updates – Stay connected with regular updates, so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. 🌿 Playtime Paradise – Our cozy home features a fenced in grassy yard, perfect for outdoor fun just steps away. About Me: Born an animal lover, I’ve always had a special passion for pups. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—whether it’s daily daycare or extended stays, your dog will be treated like family. Located in a peaceful community in the heart of Nanaimo, my home is a haven for dogs looking for comfort, care, and plenty of playtime. Safety First: Continuously pursuing training certifications to enhance our skills. We love teaching dogs new tricks and behaviors, so let us know if there’s a specific one you’d like your pup to work on! I prioritize trust and safety in everything I do.

Montana's dog is lovely and got on with our dog no problem. It is clear Montana is an experienced dog owner and dog lover. Lucky had a great stay.

Montana was fabulous - and so lovely to interact with. We received regular updates, everything was well planned organized and we felt safe leaving our dog in her care. Beaufort fell in love with their pup and was treated as a member of the pack. I hope for this to be an on-going relationship

Clover had the best time while we were away for 10 days. Montana took her on lots of off leash hikes, swimming in the river, and sent us photo and video updates everyday. Clover and Rune got along really well and looked like best buds playing chase. This was the perfect situation for our pup and we couldn't be happier. Will definitely be looking to have Clover stay with Montana again.
