Pet care experience
I am a mom to a 2 year old who loves all animals (but especially dogs!) - she is very gentle and sweet with animals and loves to care for our Rover Pals with me! She grew up with my old dachshund fur-baby who we just said goodbye to at the age of 16. She learned to be gentle and kind with animals through Belle the weiner dog 🐾 💜 RIP Belle 💘 **We have since adopted a rescue from Mexico who is the sweetest, most gentle and sensitive 11 month old mixed breed. We have only had Penny in our home for one month and she has experienced a lot of upheavals in her life until this point. While Penny absolutely adores other dogs, she can be scared of bigger dogs who might wants to play aggressively or chase her. So at this time, until she is more comfortable, I can not accommodate larger high energy dogs who wouldn’t respect Penny’s personal space (smaller high energy dogs are O.K) 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. There are numerous walking trails just a stick throw away!
Reviews
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.

Safety, trust & environment
As a former 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. 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 a small child and being unable to take risks with her safety. Thank you for your understanding.
