Highlights
Pet care experience
a home away from home
I am a mom to a fur baby, a human baby, and a 3 year old who loves all animals (but especially dogs!) - My three year old is very gentle and sweet with animals and loves to care for our Rover Pals with me. She is best friends with our 1.5 year old Mexican rescue, Penny. At this time we are accepting overnight guests under 20lbs and friends of any size to come hang out for the day! In the summer of 2023, we said goodbye to our 16 year old dachshund, Belle. Sooner than we expected, we adopted a rescue from Mexico who is the sweetest, most gentle and sensitive mixed breed dog. We named her Penny (my daughter wanted to name her swampy goose but we talked her out of that, thankfully). Penny absolutely adores other dogs, loves to play and is extremely friendly and happy. However, she can be scared of bigger dogs who might wants to play aggressively or chase her. Her extremely gentle nature makes her a target for aggressive alpha types, so I can not accommodate aggressive dogs or larger high energy dogs who wouldn’t respect Penny’s personal space. (smaller high energy dogs are O.K, and large calm dogs are welcome). ** for reference, Penny is approximately 22lbs.** My husband and I are home owners in Courtenay. Our home has a fully fenced yard and sits on a quiet, low traffic street with a nearby park. We have a good sized, zoomie friendly back yard and a chuck-it for chase. There are numerous walking trails just a stick throw away!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My puppy had a great time with Thalia's dog and family! She was super accommodating and you can tell how much she loves and understands dogs! I would definitively recommend Thalia.
Tahlia took such great care of Hiccup. He had the best time at her place while I was busy moving. I highly recommend Tahlia!!!
Very caring and sent lots of pictures!
Tahlia was great with our kitties and they looked like they were very well taken care and happy! She communicated well and followed directions with no concerns. I appreciated the peace of mind, while we were away at work.. We'd be happy to book her again :)
Tahlia is awesome! She's been "auntie" to our many pets over the 10 years that I've known her, from our senior dogs (RIP) to new kittens and puppies. She also has her own senior mini-daschund who is now 15. All of our animals love her and I trust her to take care of them. Your pets will be in very good hands with Tahlia and she also has a great secure backyard for hosting doggie playtime.

Schedule
I have adored animals since I was a child and have been involved in their care whether through being a pet parent, animal-sitting, or volunteering since as long as I can remember. I have an interest in dog breeds and behaviours and am naturally an “animal person”.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As a fur-mom, I know first hand how important it is to leave your beloved pets in the care of someone that you can trust when you are away, it is key to enjoying your holiday or trip from home. I will love and treat your special pets just as I would my own, with lots of love and care. Please note that I do not offer overnight services in a clients home. I do offer house sitting in the form of drop ins (as many as you need) collecting mail, watering plants, etc. Please inquire if you require this service. Though we love all creatures, our family is only suited to welcome friendly, non reactive guests into our home due to having children and a friendly dog of our own to consider. Thank you for your understanding.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with us consists of lots of outside time wether leashed walks on trails, in our neighborhood or time in the sun in our fenced backyard playing ball. Love, scratches and pets are also abundant when visiting our home!
