Dog Sitters in British Properties

Sandra from Alpha Dog Pet Care has been walking my dog Welli every week for the last 2 years and I can't imagine someone better to care for my dog. She's incredibly kind, thoughtful and has a beautiful way of working with dogs and bringing out the best in them. Wednesdays are Welli's favourite day when she gets to go for a hike with Sandra and all her dog pals and Sandra is one of her favourite humans by far. Sandra also dog sits for me while I'm away and again, I couldn't think of a better person to leave my dog with. She gets spoiled with walks, beach visits, hikes in the snow and tonnes of loving attention. Thank you Sandra, you and your service give me peace of mind knowing my dog is in wonderful hands.

Alpha Dog Pet Care walked my dogs and pet sat for us for ten years. Sandra loved our animals as if they were her own. She had a true passion and special bond with all our pets. They were always so excited to go for hikes with her and they came home tired. They would be sad for days when we returned from trips as they missed her. We loved the photos she took of our dogs and cat. Alpha Dog Pet Care took such great care of our pets and our home. I highly recommend Sandra and her team at Alpha Dog Pet Care.

The owner, Sandra is so compassionate and caring for all dogs. Not even her own dogs they walk. I lost my dog in the trails and she went above and beyond to help me find him. She has so much compassion towards animals, she even gave me a ride back to my house from the trails and she walked with me through the trails find try and find my dog. I have also seen her with the dogs she walks and she takes such good care of them. It was a pleasure to meet her!

We can't thank the owner, (Sandra,) enough for her help with our new puppy, we have had several trainers but our dog Jack, fell in love with Sandy, he waits for her by the door and is always thrilled to see her car. She was a great help with socializing him and giving him confidence to go out and play with other dogs, He has total faith in her and so do I!

Friendly, personable and a true lover of animals! Our black lab Ty loves Sandra and always greets her with a wild tail and big kisses :) She truly is a wonderful person to have looking after your fur baby. She has also become a great friend of our family. So if you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible and 100% devoted to your pet look no further!

Alpha Dog Pet Care has been my go-to pet caregiver for three generations of dogs and many cats. Her knowledge of animal behavior and her ability to get the best from each of my cherished companions has been remarkable over the years. She cares deeply about each individual pet she takes on and will willingly do whatever extra activity is needed such as special walk situations, vet visits, medications. She always has time for extra cuddling. Her focus is always the four legged “person” she is in charge of, and my pets are so enthusiastic when she comes that her rapport is obvious. When house-sitting is required, I can travel with confidence, knowing all is in good hands. Even the bird feeders and plants are attended to!

Thank you Sandra for taking such amazing care of our dogs! They absolutely love the hikes with you and when they come back home they literally collapse on their dog beds and are so tired and content for the rest of the day.

Great with dogs, very professional, trustworthy, kind and a true Dog lover!

We love Adventure Den! The staff are incredible. They are so warm and friendly! I always know my dog is in great care. My dog goes there five days a week and has also done some overnights. I trust the folks at Adventure Den wholeheartedly! I recommend daycare and boarding to anyone in the city! For anyone with long working hours, they’re open early and close late, it’s great!

Harlow is a very high energy border collie puppy who started going to Adventure Den when she was maybe 5 months old. Their staff are extremely knowledgeable and kind. I had no idea that Harlow could potentially have anxiety when she was there as I took it as excitement. The lovely staff noticed her extreme energy and put a weighted vest on her which calmed her down! Showing that she was just a bit anxious. Great communication! I appreciate the community they’ve built there and will continue bringing Harlow :) Thank you for all you do! Hil & Harlow

We have a large, good natured, overly enthusiastic puppy. Canine Adventure Den has been a wonderful experience for him and us. We have placed him in the doggie day care often, and have left him there for several day stays when we went on holidays. They make sure he doesn’t get overly stimulated, but he has a chance to play with other dogs. He always seems happy to go and calm when he gets home.

This place is a saviour for someone dealing with chronic conditions! I was injured a month after getting my best friend and when my dog's energy gets too high for me to manage, a day of stimulation at the Adventure Den knocks her out for a couple of days. I love picking Takoda up after she is there, because she gets extra droopy skin on her neck as she struggles to stay awake, but most importantly because she is so happy! Everyone I have encountered there has been polite, caring, respectful, and loves my silly pup. It allows me the opportunity to take the time I need to care for myself, and for that I am truly grateful!

Our dog had a better experience than Rex Hotel. Thank you to the staff that creating a welcoming experience for Lj. We will most definitely bring Lj for a longer stay.

Highly recommend Adventure Den for your daycare and overnight dog sitting needs! Pick up and drop off couldn’t be easier and my dog always comes home exhausted after his full day of playing and socializing! The staff are friendly and seem great with the dogs. Bonus points for posting photos and videos of all the dogs on Instagram!

I cannot say enough good things about Canine Adventure Den. Finding a place in Vancouver where my two huge dogs, an Old English Sheepdog and a Great Pyrenees, felt happy and comfortable was a challenge. But this place exceeded all my expectations. My dogs always came back home tired and happy, ready for a good night's sleep. I noticed a significant improvement in their social behaviour, not just with other dogs but with humans too. The staff at Canine Adventure Den was always helpful and approachable. They kept me informed and immediately let me know if anything was wrong with my girls. Sadly, I'm moving to another province, and now I'll be on the lookout for a place just like this one. Thank you, Canine Adventure Den, for everything!

I recently boarded my 3years old recuse dog for the first time, and I was really worried about how he’d handle it due to his past bad experiences. I’m so happy I chose this service! The staff was very caring and always responded promptly to any questions I had about my dog. They made me feel at ease, and my dog seemed good in there. Much appreciated for their care & attention

When I arrived to fetch my fur buddy and he was reluctant to leave after a nine day stay, I knew that he had a great stay at Canine Adventure Den! He was well looked after and I was kept updated on his stay whenever I asked. Very professional and highly recommended! Today he was there for the day and he had another good time - after eating his dinner, he is snoozing, completely tuckered out!

We have been taking our Australian Shepherd dog to Adventure Den for about 2 years. We have put him in daycare and boarding countless times. He loves daycare and the employees there. When we receive him afterward he’s always happy and tired. We have talked to Colm, the assistant manager, a couple of times about our dog and he’s always been understanding and kind, helping us if we had any issues. We highly recommend Adventure Den to anyone! Thank you to everyone who works there for making Julio, our dog’s stay so fun!

Dog owners beware! Any reputable dog daycare would request proof of vaccination prior to accepting a new client, no? Or provide a tour of the facilities? Or ask the name of the owner or pet if it's your first time meeting them at drop off? Or pick up the phone during the day if you call? Not only did they do any of the above, but our playful puppy absolutely refused to enter through the door after just a couple of visits. So many red flags. We have since moved our pup to another site on the north shore and could not be more pleased. **Update after site's response: You are correct we are not current clients, but we were in fact clients in August 2023. Do better.

I bring both my babies here and they are always excited to go! They love everyone who works here and always come home super sleepy so I know they had a great time! The owner Helen has helped me with advice and knowledge from integrating a new dog into my home to house breaking issues. My dogs both get groomed through pup culture and always look great! Just an exceptional business with amazing staff and owners. Thanks guys!!!

The best day care centre for any dog! Staff is professionally trained, caring, hands on and a wealth of dog knowledge. I have been taking our Golden Doodle here consistently for over a year. Love their videos and social postings that shows me and my family that our dog is in good care and is happy. I absolutely am comfortable and confident in trusting our dog with Jonah's Ark. 5 star service!

Thank you Helen, Andy and staff for caring for our puppies while we have to work. My pup is always excited to go and is so tired when we get home. Thank you for giving me the piece of mind to trust my puppy with you guys. Looking forward to many more journeys. Ps. Look at that cute complimentary bandana they gave him for halloween. 🎃

A great place to take your dog! The staff is wonderful with dogs and you feel very confident they are well cared for when you are at work. My 6 month old puppy absolutely loves going to Jonah’s Ark!

They are very trustworthy and really look after your dog. It was particularly confidence-inspiring that they 'temperament test' dogs before allowing them to attend.

My dog loves coming here. The owners and staff are very attentive, makes me feel at ease that my dog is in good hands

Esther loves going to Jonah's Ark!

wonderful and caring environment for dogs

I fully and 100% endorse DogZen and echo the comments of the previous reviewer, Jess. My older dog has been walking with DogZen since 2019 and when I got a puppy in 2022, DogZen was his second home for the first year. I don’t know what I would do without DogZen! Marg is incredibly accommodating (including with last minute scheduling requests!) and always there to listen and to offer feedback and advice. Thank you for being so awesome, Marg, and all the DogZen crew!!!

We have used Dogzen for almost 7 years now, I have never once thought that my dogs aren’t getting the attention and love that they deserve. Marg ( the owner ) has got to be one of the best business women I have ever met. She and her staff have worked countless hours with my dogs, training them, hiking them and boarding them. Seeing how happy my pups are coming home from Dogzen or even seeing how fast they run to that door to meet their walker truly brings joy to me and that’s why we have stuck with dogzen for so many years and couldn’t recommend them enough!!

Dogzen has been my dog’s second home since she was 7 weeks old! 4 years later when you even mention Marg’s (the owner) name my dog runs to the door ready to go. For us, our dog is our child and I can’t imagine life without Dogzen. Not only do they treat our dog with so much love but when I go there to do a drop off or pick up all the dogs are treated like this! They are understanding, give great advice when you need guidance (even recommending vets, trainers and so on), and really have become such a huge part of our life. I would highly recommend Dogzen! If you love your dog as much as we do there is no doubt this is where they should be when you are not home!

Dog Zen is great! Marg (the owner) is great! I have relied upon Marg and her staff for the last 4 years. I totally trust Marg to care for my dog in her home while I'm on vacation. I like my vacations! And, of course, my dog loves Marg and her staff (especially Kim who has recently been taking him on group hikes in the forest). If you have a well behaved and well socialized dog, I highly recommend Dog Zen. 5 star service and 5 star fun!!!

I've been using Dogzen for pack hikes, daycare, and boarding for two years now, and I couldn't be happier. Our dog, Indie, absolutely loves her pack hikes and daycare days with them. When we've boarded Indie with Dogzen, we've had a total of 8 weeks (over 4 trips) of peace of mind, knowing she's in good hands. Highly recommended for dog owners seeking reliable and caring services.

Our dog loves her group hikes with DogZen! Marg and her walkers are great. Communication is great and she has been so easy going with our crazy schedules. Our dog waits by the window every day for DogZen to show up and can’t control her excitement when they arrive!

Dog Zen is absolutely fantastic. Our dog loves the walkers and we have absolute confidence in Tasha and her team's skills as dog handlers and trainers. When we first acquired 'Maggie" Tasha helped us learn how to train our dog on a leash and other important skills. She has helped us to be better dog owners. Tasha and Dog Zen are fantastic professionals; your dog will be safe and well loved. Highly recommended.

DogZen is everything you want for your pet! It is as close to "home" as it gets. My dog Max was a rescue dog and had never stayed anywhere else but his home without us until he was nearly nine. Circumstances changed and I now needed boarding. I did not want kennel style boarding and searched the internet looking for options. I saw DogZen and thought this is what I wanted but was still skeptical until our interview. However, any concerns quickly vanished. Tasha is amazing and was authentically genuine in the care of your pet and their owners. She was not the closest option but well worth the drive. I have used her boarding services ever since. Tasha is very accommodating and priced right! The off leash dog walks in the woods is exactly what I wanted and Max would attend those weekly when boarding was not needed if the distance was not so great. Tasha and her husband Thomas are like family and treat Max like a member of their family when he "visits". She also posts great pics while you are away which demonstrates how happy your pet is! You will not be disappointed!!

DogZen is amazing!! Our golden retriever has regular off leash hikes and has also been boarded a number of times. He loves DogZen!! And they truly love him and care for him just as I would!! We are very appreciative of the amazing services they offer!!!

I have been sending my dog Garth to Tasha to board at Dog Zen for 2 years. My reason for choosing Dog Zen was that Garth would be in her house with a small number for companions. That means that he is not one amongst a bunch of other dogs fighting for attention. He also gets great long walks in the woods as well as diversity which he loves. When I get him back, he seems to find life back at home boring!

Jessica and her pup loving team are absolutely incredible!! Hands down, it’s our dog’s favourite day of the week when he gets picked up for his hike. All we have to do is say Jessica’s name and he starts racing around the house, pawing at the front door. Plus he comes back exhausted, happy, and ready for a long nap! Jessica has great communication, tons of flexibility and always posts lots of pictures on Instagram so you can follow along on their adventures. I recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a dog hiker!!

Jessica took such great care of our rescue pup Jack for over a week while we were away. The update photos were generally either Jack out on an adventure or snoozing peacefully after said adventure. We wouldn't hesitate to use Tails and Bails again!

Jessica and her team are amazing! This review is long over due, but we cannot say enough good things about Tails and Bails. They have been reliable, safe, and we 100% trust our dog here. Patches has enjoyed the adventure hikes, sleepovers, and all the love since he was a puppy! Highly recommend!

Jessica at Tails and Bails is amazing! Our dog Max goes on weekly adventure hikes with her and absolutely loves it. He can be a little timid, especially with new people in the house, but he warmed up to Jessica immediately. I love that she posts stories on her instagram while out hiking so you can follow along and see just how much fun you pup is having. We are so glad we found Tails and Bails and would never go back to putting Max in daycare, now that we know he can be out hiking trails in North Van instead. Thanks Jessica!

Tails and Bails is fantastic! Jess is so attentive and loving with our pup, Henrik. He always comes home happy, tired and with many photos to show off his day's adventures with his pals. We appreciate Jess' punctuality, flexibility and warm nature. She always provides us with detailed updates from his day and asks if there is anything we'd like to work on. Henrik has stayed with her for overnight boarding as well and we couldn't have felt more comfortable with the care and playtime he was given. Would highly recommend!

We are so happy with Tails and Bails! Our pup, Porter, goes on daily adventure hikes and it has been so good for getting his energy out and also his socialization--we come home to a happy and tuckered-out dog! Jessica remains patient and committed to working with our dog, even when he gets distracted by squirrels. We've even used the boarding services and Porter had the time of his life! Also really appreciate the great Instagram posts! Great service, great prices...we are so grateful to have found Tails and Bails!

Our puppy Baker loved staying with Tails and Bails! Jessica was so attentive to our high energy Australian Shepherd and made sure that she was sufficiently exercised. We loved the updates and pictures throughout the day. We will definitely be choosing Tails and Bails again!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Tails and Bails. Our pup Lyric has been going on weekly adventure hikes for about 8 months now and absolutely LOVES her time on the trails. Lyric is usually timid when she first meets new people but the first time she met Jess she was wagging her tail, running between her legs and acting like they had known each other forever. Jess makes sure she understands your dogs needs, keeps you updated on how each walk went, and always responds quickly. She has gone above and beyond when I have needed to cancel or add additional hikes last minute. I would 100% recommend Tails and Bails services.

Tails and bails is a perfect dog walker. Always honest and reliable. Always happy when picking up my border collie, and he was always happy to see Jessica! Works great with multiple dogs and don't have to worry about anything when my dog is with her. Easy and hassle free when having my dog do overnight stays with her. Highly recommended for anytype of dog owner!

Jessica is nothing but responsible, kind, and patient with our two dogs. Always reliable and flexible, we can always trust that Jessica is acting in the best interest of our pups. Jessica always provides daily updates, and sometimes photos! These updates provide us with great peace of mind, knowing that our loved ones are safe. Thank you Jessica for all that you do!

My pup Willow LOVES going to Happy Tails! It is so fun to see how excited she is when we arrive for a day of fun. Fontaine and her team take such good care of the dogs and manage their play and interaction in a safe, supervised way. Willow has also boarded with Happy Tails and it is so nice to know she is well taken care of and snuggled when she stays there. Highly recommended for fun for the dog and peace of mind for their human. Thanks so much!!!

I am so glad the Happy Tails team is there! My puppy needs more exercise than I can give her during week and Fontaine and the team provide the perfect solution with their Daycare. They provide enough structure in the day to ensure the puppy energy has an outlet and also a place for some quiet time. They have been instrumental in helping her learn to calm herself when she needs it. She is a much better behaved thanks to the team at Happy Tails. On top of that, this is a local business I am proud to support. They always come through, and have a good tech to make bookings and payments simple. I am so thankful that our neighbor recommended Happy Tails.

Happy Tails is absolutely wonderful. They provide amazing enrichment games, outdoor play time, indoor nap time, and a whole bunch of other activities suited to your dog's personality and size. They prioritize the safety and well-being of all of their pups and are so great to work with. My dog has extreme separation anxiety and he runs into the daycare every time we drop him off. The staff at Happy Tails have been nothing but patient, loving and so generous in caring for my dog's special needs and valuing his uniqueness. It is a true testament to Fontaine and her team that my puppy adores them all. They are always professional, super responsive, and have an excellent electronic platform for scheduling that is incredibly easy to use. I cannot thank Happy Tails enough for taking such good care of our doggo!

I cant even begin to explain how grateful I am to the staff at Happy Tails, I feel so lucky to have found Fontaine and even though there was a wait to get into private walks it was so worth it. My dog Lu is a nervous rescue, I was bringing her to work daily and thought that doing walks twice a week might help her face the world and become a little more braver! I found happy tails and reached out to Fontaine about Lu. I anxiously listed everything about her, all her quirks and issues and expressed that Lu would be scared having someone new come into the apartment and Fontaine was incredibly helpful and understanding. We started with either my dad or sister being in the apartment when Fontaine arrived to take Lu for walks. They would help clip her leash on and begin the walk, gradually fading into the background during the walk, leaving the two of them to get acquainted. Over time Lu is just obsessed with Fontaine, if we run into her around North Van Lu can not contain herself. Witnessing how much Lu adores Fontaine means the world to me. Having a nervous and reactive dog can be challenging and a bit isolating. However seeing Lu grow and come out of her shell with the staff from Happy Tails is beyond what I ever imagined. Lu has been slowly introduced to other dog walkers Kenzee & Jessie and they both have formed a bond with her. I feel so comfortable leaving Lu in their hands. Getting Lus dog walk report is the highlight of my day, hearing how happy she is and that though she will never catch a bird or squirrel she still gives it her all everyday. Anyways worlds longest review, I could say so much more about how grateful I am to Fontaine, Kenzee & Jessie. 3 years ago, when I adopted Lu, I could never have imagined that she would be where she is today. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Thank you -Ali & Lu

My dog Luca recently joined the Happy Tails family. He is a young rescue with a few quirks and lots of goofy energy. He was immediately welcomed by Fontaine and her wonderful staff. I was reassured that they had no problem helping Luca learn how to socialize with his furry friends with guidance and positive reinforcement. I noticed how well he responded to their kindness and experience instantly. The staff truly care about each and every dog there. The staff are very knowledgeable and give such great advice that has been immensely beneficial to my dog. I love the reports shared at the end of his day, who he played with, what he did etc. I always look forward to their Instagram posts and pictures. Happy Tails provides a wonderful and safe environment inside and out with lots of fun activities. I highly recommend this daycare and am so happy my puppy is part of their family. 🐶💙

Happy Tails was a life saver when I got my new puppy. I wasn't pleased with any other local daycares, as they had way too many dogs and not enough attendants (basically lifeguarding). Happy Tails prioritizes puppy care (1 person for every few dogs) and listens to the owners needs and wants. Whiskey absolutely loves going here where he receives the best care, training, and so many snuggles. He quite literally comes home wagging a very happy tail. I highly recommend the Happy Tails team for all doggy needs (they do boarding too!).

Fontaine and her team are hands down the most knowledgable, kind, and caring canine professionals that I have ever encountered. Their attention to detail, effectiveness, and total organizational skills were not only very much appreciated but also a welcome relief. My dog is like my third child so I need to feel confident about his care and with Happy Tails I feel exactly that! THANK YOU!!

Great team at Urban Adventures! Everybody there is so kind! They took amazing care of our pup who always comes home happy after spending the day at doggy daycare. Great facility and very trustworthy people!

Recommended by our dog trainer, attending Happy Tails has made a noticeable improvement to our dog’s confidence, reactivity and overall social skills. Thank you, to the entire HT Team for your excellent care.

Can't say enough good things about Fontaine and the team at Happy Tails! We have a very anxious, but very social pup who needed a safe-feeling social outlet. Our (highly knowledgeable) trainer recommended Happy Tails and they were super accommodating to her needs, allowing us to build up her time there very slowly until she was comfortable. The dogs are put into appropriate play groups, supervised closely, have enforced rest time etc. so they go above and beyond to keep all the pups safe and happy. We don't even NEED doggy daycare as I work from home, but we use it weekly so our pup can get some extra play time.

Tilley had a great time staying with Helen! I appreciated the detailed updates and all the photos. Helen was super flexible with drop off and pick up, even with my flight coming back delayed. Helen was also very patient with Tilley’s quirks - she can be a funny eater and a very slow walker. I would happily have Tilley stay with Helen again!

I highly recommend Happy stays to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friend. It’s a huge relief knowing my dog is in such good hands while I’m away! I especially appreciate the updates I receive during the day, whether it’s photos or a quick text, letting me know how my dog is doing. My dog always comes home happy, tired, and content—signs of a great experience! It’s clear that Helen truly cares about the dogs and is dedicated to making sure they have a safe, enjoyable time.

Helen's Happy Stays was a home away from home for Luna when I had to make a trip east to see family. Luna appeared to be having a wonderful time, and Helen kept me updated with photos and videos. Helen seems to understand the unique qualities of small dogs and encourages positive pack interactions. It brings enormous peace of mind to know that Luna was in a safe, caring environment while I was away. I will readily place Luna at Helen's Happy Stays again when I have to go out of the city. Thanks Helen!

Helen took very good care of our dog mochi while away on our vacation , I felt at ease and could enjoy our vacation as Helen updated me throughout each day with pictures. My dog is very timid and doesn't like to socialize, but she definitely felt safe and had a great time! I would highly recommend happy stays to anyone with a small breed dog, Helen took extra good care of our furbaby!

Your in safe hands with Helen at Happy Stays! Helen took great care of our two pugs and provided honest feedback and daily updates, during what can be a very traumatic time for our pets while they’re away from there owners. I highly recommend Helen at Happy Stays for a safe and secure home while you’re away from your special pet.

Helen was very kind and professional to deal with when boarding my mother’s dog. She always makes sure your dog is a good fit for her home and has a little questionnaire where you can explain anything specific for your pet. Helen would update us daily with photos so we didn’t have to worry. When your pet stays with Helen they basically become part of her family as she will walk and feed your pet along side hers- making your pet feel like it is a friends house. She is lovely lady and has a beautiful welcoming home for your pet- she will even do pick up and drop off services :) Thank you Helen!

Helen took wonderful care of my pup and always kept me updated with photos and messages. I highly recommend Happy Stays. Such a cozy environment and a warm, welcoming home. Thank you, Helen and family : )

We have booked multiple stays with Helen and she always takes amazing care of our two dogs! I can't say enough great things about her - she truly treats the dogs as if they are her own. I love receiving all the photos/updates and it's very relaxing to know Goose and Beans are with such a warm and loving family. Helps us truly relax while on vacation. Thank you, Helen!

From start to finish, our experience with Helen of Happy Stays was nothing short of fantastic. Being first-timers, we were anxious leaving our 3yr old Pomeranian, Gigi, behind. However, Helen’s calm nature and passion for dogs was evident from the moment we met. Gigi immediately took a liking to her, which put my mind at ease. In addition to Helen’s excellent service, the clean and pet-friendly environment in her home made us feel confident that our dog was in a safe and comfortable place. It's evident that Helen has created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all the dogs she looks after. Communication was also a highlight of the experience. Helen kept us updated with regular texts, photos, and even videos of Gigi. It was comforting to see how much fun they were having and how relaxed Gigi appeared. I wholeheartedly recommend Happy Stays to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. Helen made our time away from Gigi stress-free, knowing that our fur baby was in the best possible hands. Thank you, Helen, for your outstanding service and for being such a wonderful caregiver to Gigi!

Booking our beloved Poco into HappyStays for a two-month stay was the best decision we could have made for our extended travels. Every day, Helen sent us pictures and updates, which became something we looked forward to. Through these daily glimpses, it was clear that Poco wasn't just being looked after; he was having the time of his life. Seeing Poco so happy and well-cared-for in the photos eased any worries we had about leaving him for such a long period. It was evident that he was enjoying his own little vacation, filled with activities, cuddles, and all the love he receives at home. Thanks to the exceptional dog boarding service provided by HappyStays, we were able to have a stress-free and worriless vacation. Knowing Poco was in such capable and caring hands allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our time away. The peace of mind that comes from this level of trust in a pet boarding service is priceless. Thank you, Helen, for giving Poco a wonderful home during our travels.

Jennifer at Stellar Pet Care has been walking our dog Peach for about 1.5 years and she is amazing! She walks Peach in the afternoon while we are both at work and we can tell Peach loves Jennifer and really enjoys walking with her. We asked her to give us a quick text every day after the walk on how it went and Jennifer never missed one. We have also boarded Peach with Jennifer whenever we went out of town and it's so great to know that she will be well taken care of. We would recommend Stellar Pet Care to anyone without hesitation!

Jennifer is caring, trustworthy & friendly. She took exceptional care of my two dogs Tennessee and Poppet for two whole weeks. My pups instantly took to her. She gave me regular updates, sent photographs (beach strolls/trail hikes) and promptly tended to each concern of mine. I was so thankful upon my return to find my pups having kept to their routine. Jennifer’s schooling and training combined with her genuine care for animals truly makes her a professional. With confidence and ease, I recommend her pet care service for short and long vacations.

Stellar Pet Care is my family's go-to for exceptional cat sitting services every time we leave town. We've used Jennifer's service multiple times and each time we are extremely satisfied. With daily email updates and photos, you are ensured that your pet is left in really good care. Our place is always clean when we return and our cat is always happy. Stellar Pet Care really offers the best service for a great price.

We have used Jennifer to walk our dog daily since November of 2016 when we moved to Vancouver. She has also boarded our dog in her home while we have been away. I very highly recommend Jennifer to everyone. She is extremely easy to work with, has been completely reliable and, most importantly, our dog loves her. We're lucky to have found her.

Jennifer is very caring towards my little pug Coco. Coco is 11 years old and very fragile due to her health. Jennifer truly enjoys spending time with dogs and she is very organized and professional. My dog had collapsed at home while I was at work, Jennifer found her limp and barely conscious. Jennifer took her to the vet immediately and she kept me updated while I was at work. It was a severe ear infection damaging the ear drum and Coco's balance, which Coco luckily recovered from. Thanks you Jen, for being there for Coco and for your wonderful pet care.

My boyfriend and I were staying far from downtown Vancouver and wanted to enjoy the beach with our dog at the west end. We decided to do the biking tour around the sea wall at the last moment so Jennifer was so helpful to take care of our little dog during the tour, it worked perfect as she is located near Stanley Park. I highly recommend her as dog sitter. Thank you Jennifer for taking care of our lovely dog.

Jennifer takes excellent care of our furbabies! She is very attentive to our cats' different needs and quirks. We have three cats and they make a huge mess, but Jennifer always has our place tidy for our return. It gives us great peace of mind to know they are so well cared for when we are away. One of our cats is very shy and skittish around strangers, but she's clearly comfortable with Jennifer. We've found our cat-sitter!

We have been lucky to have found Jennifer, when we moved to Yaletown over 4 yrs ago. Jennifer is the only person we completely trust leaving our dogs with. They are very excited every time Jennifer comes. When we’re away, Jennifer keeps the dogs, waters our plants, and brings our mail in. I feel like Jennifer has become a part of our family. I highly recommend Jennifer, without exception. I can be contacted for inquiries.

Stellar pet care is great! She did the daily cat visits while I was away and sent me pics, cleaned up around the litter area and even got my cat treats. She was also more cost-effective AND better than the competitors I've used in the past. Very happy with the service!

I can't say enough good things about Jennifer and Stellar Pet Care; absolutely wonderful!!!

I'm glad to have found such warm and reliable cat sitters! Don and John were available at short notice and very adaptable. They won over my cat quickly (not an easy feat!) and I appreciated the updates while I was away. I will definitely be using Little Buddies Pet Care again.

Donny and John have been taking care of our cat for many years. We have used other pet sitters in the past, but no one has provided the same level of care. They are knowledgeable and caring, and go above and beyond to ensure our cat's wellbeing.

I've used their services for nearly 5 years to look after my rabbits during trips and vacations. They've always done a great job and been very reliable so its meant a lot of peace of mind for me whilst I'm away from home.

Have used their help two times, very happy with how they take care of my guinea pigs. They are reliable and responsive, I would be able to leave home without worrying my pets.

Donny is great! Great communication and fantastic service. They're very much "above and beyond"!

Used their services many times. A reliable and honest duo who live and care for their charges.

I take my 9month old energetic Labrador puppy to Noelle’s day care weekly. The staff are all so friendly and skilled! My pup loves going there and I feel at ease that he is well cared for and enjoying the day! Would definitely recommend! I have also taken him to have his nails trimmed by Naoko, who is great!

Our 18 month old puppy started daycare and life has never been more fun for him. He looks forward to playing with his friends every week and heads out to the beach where he can explore. As a dog parent, I don’t have to worry about him as the staff is exceptional and really do care about dogs. They give us pointers on training and will even spend some time training him. Our puppy comes home very happy which makes it easier for us in the evenings. We are so lucky that we have such exceptional daycare for our little boy!

Noelle's Pet Love was recommended to me by a someone I met at a dog park. I started taking Olive for regular daycare and beach walks since she was 5 months old. She loves going to daycare. She gets to play, gets exercise, gets mental and physical stimulation, and dog training. Olive is well socialized with other dogs and people because of Noelle's Pet Love. Staff is lovely and the hours are very convenient as they offer early drops offs and late pick ups. They even offer boarding and grooming which I have not yet tried but if I ever need it, it's good to know it is available.

My labradoodle has been coming to Noelle’s Daycare since May and we are so happy with their service! I changed my dog’s daycare because she likes being outside and we have the option here to have her go on walks at the beach. I appreciate the handlers taking the time to get to know my dog and work with her personality. They also provide training to ensure all the dogs at the daycare are engaged and can stay together as a pack when they go out. It has been great for me to re-train my dog for basic things that I had not done so well when she was a puppy. I like that Noelle has us work for a while on one training before moving onto the next level. My dog is much more engaged and responsive to me now. I highly recommend Noelle’s for your daycare needs!

Our 11 month old rescue pup Benny started with Noelle when he was 4 months old. He loves going to his "club" and the beach walks are a highlight of his day! Benny has also boarded with Noelle several times including a longstay of 2 weeks over the summer. We appreciate the care, training and professional team who really seem to like Benny! Noelle loves dogs and it shows in the way she operates her business. Thank you!

We are new to Noelle’s and have found the staff amazing and the hours convenient. It’s the first time we’ve used a dog daycare and I was nervous to leave our new pup. The staff are so welcoming and attentive, and Nugget loves going there. We really like the videos of their beach walks and I’ve already recommended Noelle’s to our friends!

Noelle’s has been an awesome place for Willa. We transferred to Noelle’s daycare after our previous place shut down and we have been thrilled by how attentive they are to the pups and their wellbeing. When boarding Willa, although we missed her, we knew she was in excellent hands and our anxiety went way down. They also provided regular updates and it was so nice to see her having fun. Highly recommend Noelle’s Pet Love to anyone looking for a safe and dedicated daycare, grooming, and boarding.

When we attended our first session at Noelles Puppy Training Classes my 4-month-old, active miniature pinscher, Coco was nervous and a bit frightened of the other dogs and people. By the last session, her behaviour had improved enormously, as she played with the other puppies and followed commands. She can now sit, stay, drop, leave it, and come when recalled. Sandy is a great trainer; she is very knowledgeable and patient. I would highly recommend her classes. We are already enrolled in the Young Adult training class and can't wait!

Noelle's Pet Love daycare has been a great place for our puppy to visit. They train him and allow him to socialize with other puppies his age or older. Not only does he come home happy and exhausted, but he also better behaved from their training. Noelle also provides helpful training videos for us to practice with our pup. I highly recommend Noelle's Pet Love for all your doggie daycare needs.

Unfortunately my experience with Noelle’s daycare does not reflect the other reviews. Being new to the City, I was looking for a daycare for one of my dogs to attend while at work. He’s been attending daycare since he was old enough to go, without issue. After attending daycare, he started exhibiting aggression towards our other dog at home. I contacted Noelle about this and she suggested hiring Sandy, the behaviourist they have on staff. Fast forward a couple weeks and I’m told that my dog had a bad reaction to another dog but that the other dog was asked to leave the daycare. I was surprised and felt badly but was told the dog had “other issues”. Well the very next day it was my dog being kicked to the curb. I was told someone would reach out to provide me with further info but no one did. To clarify, I’m not ignorant, I know my dog has issues, some of which likely related to all the change that comes with moving. In an email exchange with Noelle I told her I was disappointed to have not heard from her and the lack of feedback I’d received generally, given the amount of money I was spending. Clearly hitting a nerve, she responded that my dog had multiple instances of aggressive behaviour at daycare and that I knew about it. I was genuinely shocked. The only time I was told anything was the one time I happened to meet her in person at pick up when I asked if my dog was ever let off leash during the beach walks, to which she responded yes, but only when the tide was out. Fair enough, but I never saw him off leash in any video except the first one. More upsetting though was that she told me that my dog would never change and this behaviour would continue. Well why had I spent $1100 on her colleague, the behaviourist trainer, then? I’ve now had experiences with daycares across three different provinces and have never had a more negative (or costly) experience. I will give two stars; one for some of the staff who were nice at pick up and drop off and the other for the convenience. Otherwise would not recommend this business to those looking for daycare or a trainer. I’ve worked with many dog trainers over the years and never once have I been told that my dog will never change or been communicated with so rudely. Not every style of training will work with every dog, telling me that would have been sufficient.
