Doggy Day Care Pioneer

“I can tell that my dog enjoyed his day with Tanaisa and her dog Loki. He walked right into the gate when I dropped him off for his second day. He got plenty of walks and socialization. I will definitely book with her again, even though it’s a total of 40 minutes detour for me, it’s worth it because Tanaisa took great care of Dante.”

“So appreciate the responsive care that Dana and Mark provide to Sully! Sully has been able to ease into interacting with new humans and other pups; it’s been good for him and so great for me!”

“My dog is enjoying her doggy-interactions so much. New puppies have sparked an excitement in her that I had not seen. Shell says she's playing more outside with the other dogs and she seems to recognize names of her Doggy-friends now that she has been attending 'doggy day care' weekly for two months. Thanks so much for your care, Shell”

“Angela is a wonderful dog sitter and clearly has such a love for animals. Grace loved doggy daycare and was so excited to come back each day. Angela's communication was great and she was really kind and flexible with unexpected schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a caring, reliable person providing excellent pet care.”

“Tashi is doing well! Looks forward to going to doggie daycare with Brianna. Today, he tried to sneak out to the car when I left! He loves being around the kids and other dogs. Thank you for taking great care of him!”

“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need extra love and patience. I have experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve helped with basic training, administering medications, and supporting pets with special needs. My approach is gentle, consistent, and reliable, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddles on the couch, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a full-time student, but I keep my schedule flexible to make plenty of time for pet care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, with slightly less flexibility on Mondays. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or playtime, I truly enjoy caring for pets and always make time to give them the attention and love they deserve. I have a secure fenced yard and one friendly dog who love having new friends to play with. Pets in my care are always supervised, and I’m happy to crate your dog if needed for comfort or routine. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Your fur baby will always be treated like part of the family in my home.

“James was kind enough to keep our dog at his house for us while we were on vacation. He was very kind, communicative and dependable. I’d highly recommend him.”

“Maryorie was friendly and great with communication. It was my first rover experience and it was nice to get a picture update after drop off and report about how he did at the end of the day. I appreciate how she did a meet and greet before hand to ensure my dog and her dogs would get along and so that we could get to know her. Looking forward to booking with her again!”

Audrey T.

“Elaine is great. I had to change my appointment a few times due to work and she was very understanding and flexible. She was able to set up a playdate and we came over and met her, her family and pets. Very communicative throughout the day. I have an elderly pup with bladder cancer and Elaine really cared for her and asked questions throughout the day. I highly recommend and will be using her again.”

Terri W.

“She is so sweet and flexible.”

Elizabeth W.

“Very thankful for Matt & his family. I have a dog who has a very sensitive GI & with sending him to Matt I can insure he is safe & happy. They send updates through out the day & always keep me in the loops Bruce loves it there & im very happy i found a family I can trust with leaving my dog there.”

Alissa T.

“Araceli always does a fantastic job with Rocky. She is very communicative and lets me know how he’s doing. I highly recommend her for your fur baby needs”

“Kiko and Buddy has a great time at Shadie’s day care while I had my floors redone at my house. On the last day Buddy didn’t even want to come home!”

Jill J.

“Can I give 6 stars??? Dominique takes such great care of my Beagle while I'm in the office. He loves her so much he starts whining to be let out when we pull in the driveway. 😂 She sends photos and updates throughout the day, is very flexible on his care needs. I think the most important thing is that I can focus on priorities during the day and not worry over Watson's happiness and safety. I know he's having fun playing with Poppy and friends!”

Solomon B.

“Nice lady, nice home, has a chill dog that can keep ur pet company. Good experience. Good communication.”

About: I’ve spent over 20 years caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels, and what truly sets me apart is that animals aren’t just part of my schedule—they’re part of my life. I’m self-employed, which means I have the flexibility to be fully present and attentive, and my own dog goes just about everywhere with me. Dogs are woven into my daily rhythm, not squeezed into it. I’m especially skilled at reading canine body language and meeting dogs where they are emotionally and physically. I have extensive experience with off-leash dogs and understand how to manage freedom safely through awareness, trust, and clear communication. I’m also very comfortable caring for senior dogs—moving at their pace, watching for subtle changes, and providing calm, steady support. Whether a dog is high-energy and adventurous or older and more reserved, I focus on building trust, respecting individual needs, and creating a calm, confident environment where they feel safe and understood. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I’m self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to structure my days around the needs of the dogs in my care rather than fitting them into fixed blocks of time. My own dog is with me throughout the day, so caring for dogs is a constant, natural part of my rhythm. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide regular attention, timely walks, enrichment, rest breaks, and any special care a dog may need, whether that’s extra activity, medication, or a slower pace for seniors. I plan my schedule to ensure dogs are never rushed or left waiting and always receive consistent, attentive care. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, dogs have access to a spacious, fully enclosed ½-acre backyard with an 8-foot privacy fence, providing plenty of room to move, explore, and relax safely. Dogs have access to the yard through a dog door, allowing them to go in and out freely throughout the day based on their comfort level and routine. I use multiple baby gates and an external kennel to thoughtfully manage space and interactions. This allows me to separate dogs when needed, provide quiet time, or give individual dogs privacy and decompression breaks—always with my close attention and supervision. I can offer private space both indoors and outdoors, ensuring each dog has a calm, secure place to relax based on their comfort level and needs. I’m very attentive to group dynamics and individual personalities, adjusting supervision and space to ensure every dog feels safe, respected, and comfortable—whether they thrive on companionship or prefer a calmer, more structured environment.

“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”
