Personalized care for your dog or cat - Olga

“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”

Elizabeth K.

Nick R.

“Sophia was wonderful and exactly the kind of person we were looking for to watch after our little bug for the first time. I could tell right away that she holds a lot of care and respect for animals, and I think Nori was even a little unsure about saying goodbye. She even kindly sent Nori home with a toy that she fell in love with! She gave us plenty of photos and updates, and was incredibly flexible with our schedule and Nori’s need. I can’t wait for Nori to visit Sofia and her three pups again, and highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter you can trust! ❤️”

Kellie S.

“Criofan took excellent care of Handsome! He had a lot of fun, and her well-trained delightful dog is H's new bestie. She was responsive, intuitive, and attentive, ensuring that H fit in, and that he remembered to eat! He came home from his adventure tired but happy. The dream! Thank you!”

Rowena K.

“I highly recommend Cynthia and plan to book again soon!. Our pup had an excellent experience, especially for her first visit. Cynthia went above and beyond in every category, including communication and care, walking her daily, and even giving her a bath. She came home bright, happy and in beautiful condition with special treats. Cynthia is a warm, caring, and very responsible sitter, noting all details. Her emphasis on safety, and frequent photos were especially appreciated. Our pup was very well looked after in every way, thanks to the kindness of Cynthia!”

Gerald M.

“She did such an amazing job looking after Lugnut. He’s a big, sensitive dog with some extra needs, so leaving him with someone isn’t always easy for us — but she made the whole experience feel calm and comfortable. She sent photos, kept us updated, and genuinely made me feel like I could relax knowing he was in good hands. Lugnut was clearly cared for, understood, and treated with kindness. We’re so thankful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets.”

About: I have owned dogs, cats, chameleons, and rabbits throughout my life. I’ve always loved the companionship a pet provides and have enjoyed nurturing such loving animals. I am passionate about providing proper care to animals and have a calm and patient demeanor with them. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and I also enjoy hiking with dogs to keep more with their energy. I believe in the proper care and treatment of animals and will make sure that all of my effort goes into providing the best care possible. I’m very flexible and willing to pick up and drop of at the owners convenience to save them travel. I am educator so my availability is before and after school and weekends! I live a very active lifestyle which fits perfectly when adding a furry friend into my routine! In my clients home I care for the pets the same way a family member would, my job is to make your pet as comfortable as I can while you are gone.

“Nick and Rebecca were great! They were responsive to texts and sent me a couple of pupdates while they were watching Peach. They seem to be very accustomed to caring for dogs and made sure they had enough information to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable staying with them.”

Kali D.

“We are so fortunate to have found Pam. Our older, small dog, who doesn’t like to be left alone, seems to have found a new friend.”

“Kelsey was amazing! Not only was she super caring of our Ren but she also helped with crate training tips and she was so accommodating to me!”

Tuesdey M.

“Jonathan has become a real staple sitter for us! My dog Luna has an absolute blast and the level of care is great. She gets lots of walks, cuddles and play time with their lovely dog Indy. Jonathan is very communicative and I always look forward to the photo updates. Would definitely recommend as a sitter.”

“Kelsey & fam were so great to Tempo! She immediately felt comfortable and Kelsey sent updates during her day stay while we watched whales. Thank you so much!”

“Criofan was great, we were travelling from Edmonton and decided to do a last minute Whale Watching Tour. Within 5 minutes Criofan responded and we had Luna booked in to play for the day. We really appreciated the late night pick up at 10pm, was flexible for us to enjoy our time in Victoria without feeling rushed. The drive was only 20 mins, but was definitely worth the drive, huge space for Luna to run with Albert. Really appreciated the messages after dropping Luna off, put my mind at ease that she was behaving. Highly recommend, we got back a happy tired pooch!”

Kaitlyn W.

“Ben had a great time at daycare! There was playing with other dogs, hiking, and nap time when everyone was tired. Tiana is the best at sending pics! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our boy!”

Nick H.

“From the pictures the dogs look like they were happy to hang out with Aarika! I would book again next time.”

Sandra D.

“Beth was nothing but amazing from start to finish. We were on the island for my wife's work event and she suggested we get a sitter so my son and I could explore the island dog-free for the day. With less than 24 hours notice we found Beth, she responded immediately and confirmed quickly. She asked all of the right questions so you could tell she really cared. My 12 year old son was worried about leaving the dogs, but Beth sent us text updates and posted pics and videos to a Google folder throughout the day. She took them for multiple walks and a hike. They came home happy and tired...they definitely had their best time on the island with Beth. I can't say enough good things, she was fantastic.”

N B.

“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”

Alison B.

“Ali is so gentle and has great energy. My little girl can take longer than usual to adjust to new settings and Ali gives her the space she needs. I am so happy I found her! Thank you!”

Jennifer C.

“Bianca was great with our little guy Bruno, she was very accommodating when we had some issues with our building and had to change the schedule. She is responsive and we will not hesitate to bring our dog to her care next time we require it.”

Ana V.

“Chelsey was absolutely amazing! She saved my day by accepting my last minute request within 3 hours. She took incredible care of my pug Hulu, and her own pug, Nigel, was so friendly and welcoming. Hulu had such a great time playing with them that she didn’t even want to leave!”

About: Hi there! We are Allison and Tarun! We’re an active, reliable, dog-loving couple offering boarding and daycare in the Hillside area. What makes us a great fit: - Two attentive caregivers (lots of supervision & flexibility) - Active lifestyle with daily walks (trail access right outside our door) - Calm, structured home environment, with individualized care and attention A little about us: I previously worked at a dog daycare in Vancouver, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments, including high-energy and more reactive dogs. My partner of 11 years, Tarun is a life-long dog-lover and outdoor adventure seeker looking to explore more of the island. Tarun and I also had a husky together, Loki, who sadly passed away in September, we truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pup. We both genuinely miss having a dog around and we would love to be able to provide the same level of care and attention to your pup as we did with our Loki. Hope to hear from you soon, we'd love to meet you! I work part-time mostly in the evenings, while my partner works full-time during the day, so between the two of us there is almost always someone home. On the rare occasions we are both working, your dog would typically be alone for no more than three hours at a time. I’m home during the day and love getting outside as much as I can, so going on walks and spending time outdoors are a big part of the routine. My partner works at MEC and usually craves time outdoors when he's not at work and he's definitely been missing having a trail buddy! Dogs in our care can expect regular walks, fresh air, and plenty of love and attention. Overall, our schedule allows us to provide a balanced mix of activity, supervision, and downtime, and we’re happy to adapt to each dog’s specific needs and routine. Safety and comfort are a top priority in our home. We provide a calm, clean, and well-supervised environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. Our space is open concept, which allows us to keep a close eye on dogs at all times. Dogs are welcome on the couch for cuddles if they would like, we also have a dog bed and blankets if they would prefer. We have rugs throughout the home to help prevent slipping, especially for senior dogs or those with mobility issues. Our flooring is durable and easy to clean, so we’re not concerned about the occasional mess and can focus on keeping your dog comfortable instead. Outdoor time is always supervised, and walks are done securely on leash. With trail access just steps from our door, your pup will get regular exercise in a safe and peaceful neighbourhood. With two of us at home, there’s always a high level of supervision, attention, and care so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe, relaxed, and well looked after.

Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”

Michael B.

“Bethany his kind, empathetic and a real gem of a walker( she does all the rest too) . I got a rescue that had never left the house and is kinda difficult while she adjusts and does not know how to walk with a leash. While I only needed walking, Bethany living close, offered to look out for her during the day taking her home ( not suggesting she will do the same) until she felt comfortable on her own. Trust me and trust your dog with her, worth every penny.”

We could tell our puppy loved her and enjoyed his time with her, she even took him for a hike and kept him highly engaged the entire time. We highly recommend her to all!”
