Dog Sitters in Dundarave

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!

More than two times now my dog has been returned to me with bruises and they start to have terrible anxiety when we pull into the parking lot. I have noticed owner yelling at the dogs when I come in to pick up pup at end of day so maybe she loses her cool sometimes. I think I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on just to be on safe side. Based on other reviews, owner will most likely respond saying they don’t recognize me as a client.

My Henry has been going to see Sonja and Brian for almost 6 months. Each morning that we drive into the parking lot he starts wagging his tail and stares at me with anticipation. Then he runs to the door as soon as we are out of the car! Henry and I were with his previous daycare for 7+ years and i was worried that we wouldn’t find another place to be a second home for him. I don’t worry about that anymore!

Pipsqueak is the best! Their team looks after our Reggie with both care and attention. We have also boarded our dog with them overnight and she had a blast! My wife and I are so grateful to have found such a treasure so close to home.

Pipsqueak Pups has helped me get my puppy off on the right foot - she loves going, gets a full day of socializing with other dogs, and I trust the team there to reinforce the good manners that I am working on with her at home. She comes home calm and this makes it so much easier to train her and help her fit into my family life. I really appreciate having a great place for her to spend her days, especially on days when I know I won't be able to meet her needs for exercise and play. Thank you to Sonja and her team!

There are no words to express my thanks to Sonya, Brian, and the team for the care they provided my two dogs as we moved to Vancouver and to our new home. The routine, love, and environment at Pipsqueak Pups Doggy Daycare provided my two dogs with the stability and routine they so much needed. In addition, they boarded my dogs while I was away for a weekend and administered medication and food after my dogs went through surgeries. My 8-year old and 11-year old dogs danced at the door in the morning because they knew they were going to doggie daycare and came home tired and happy at the end of the day.

I'm not sure what goes on there but my very sweet and loving dog has never not liked anyone or cowered away from someone as he did from the owner of this place. The only person he has not liked in four years. She seems quite rough with the animals. On top of that, he always came back absolutely reeking of chemical air freshener. It hits you like a brick when the door of the daycare opens. We had to bathe him several times to get the stench out. I can't imagine what that would be like for all the dogs in there with their extremely sensitive sense of smell. Will not return.

Our 2-year old puppy had never attended puppy daycare until going to Pipsqueak - and what a wonderful experience it was for both him and us. Being from out of town on a work assignment in Vancouver for 2 weeks, our schedule was all over the place, but we could drop off and pick up Leo as our schedule allowed. Sonja and her team post photos and videos of all the puppies throughout the day. On the first day, sensing that I was a bit nervous about leaving him, Sonja even directly texted me a video to show me how our Leo was settling in a couple of hours after we dropped him off. Leo always left the daycare happy and exhausted from all the playing. Now that we are back home, people are noticing that he's much more confident in his play with other dogs. We hope that there will be a spot for Leo when we are back in Vancouver because we can't imagine leaving him in better hands anywhere else. Many thanks to the whole team for all the love, care, and cuddles that you gave so generously to our little guy!

Our pup was always taken care of and was always happy to go to daycare! She went as young as 6 months and I think she enjoyed playing with other dogs her size.

My dog has been going to Pipsqueak Pups Doggie Daycare since she was only 5 months old. I cannot tell enough how much peace of mind Pipsqueak has been giving me on the days when I have to work in office. Their caring staff and their clean and cutely decorated facility make Pipsqueak a lovely place to go. They also post tons of photos and videos on Instagram to keep the dog owners posted of how their dogs are doing. I definitely give 5 out of 5 to Pipsqueak and strongly recommend it if you are looking for a day care for your beloved canine friend Brenda

I love, love, love Pipsqueaks!! I have a very energetic, young, stubborn terrier and juggle 3 jobs, so I struggle to give her the amount of attention and activity she needs. Dropping her off to play with her buddies (dog and human) under the best possible care has been a life changer for both of us. Sonja and Brian and their whole staff are knowledgeable, kind, fun, and take SUCH good care of the dogs. My baby doesn't just have something to do while I'm at work, she has the time of her life and I never have to worry (like I have done with some other daycare situations) if she'll be safe on walks or left unattended when dog scuffles can break out. The pups have toys to play with, constant observation, walks, snuggles, afternoon treats with special homemade meat balls (aka mutt-balls). I'm so deeply grateful for the care my dog gets. We've had a better life together since I found Pipsqueaks. The staff and other dogs and dog owners feel like family, and my overactive terrier has a fuller life, with love and care and FUN!!

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!

I truly cannot say enough great things about Melissa, Natalia and the team! From the moment I inquired about Woof and Purr services, their professionalism and care stood out. We knew our dogs were in great hands as it was clear from the very beginning that the team truly cares about each dog as if it were their own. They knew how to keep our dogs happy and safe on their walks and I also loved the updates and pictures they provided. I had complete peace of mind when our dogs were in their more than capable hands. I would highly recommend Woof and Purr services!

Oscar's absolute favorite place to hang out for the day! He was always incredibly excited to be picked up by Melissa. She was patient with his reactivity on walks and gave him lots of attention and love. She was a VIP in our world! Sadly we moved but wish we could have taken her with us!😊 …

I was overwhelmed as a first time dog owner and needed help! My pup Kobe is a Shiba Inu and it's known to be a challenging breed. I took a puppy class but working full-time, in back to back meetings all day didn't leave much time to practice. I hired Woof & Purr to do training reinforcement and leash training with Kobe. Now Kobe sits and lays down on command, his leash pulling has reduced and now we're working on his recall skills. I highly recommend Woof & Purr for training reinforcement and dog walks. Melissa, you're a life saver! Thank you from Jamie & Kobe the pup.

Melissa is wonderful! She brings an incredibly personal touch to her cat sitting service! While I’m away on vacation, Melissa sends the best updates that read like short novelettes that leave me laughing at the apparent fun my cat, Waffles, is having at home without me! She is attentive and always provides pictures with her text message updates, is willing to walk our cat, and always ensures he gets feed on schedule. Waffles highly recommends Woof & Purr Pet Services and he thinks Melissa is Purrfect!

Melissa and her team took very good care of our fur baby for a month last December. Sorry it’s taken so long to post! This is our first cat in many many years and we were very nervous going away so far, for so long. Melissa was very consistent in sending us updates and videos to assure us that our furkid was happy and healthy. Will definitely use Woof & Purr again!!

We have used Woof & Purr to look after both our cat and dog. With both of our pets being rescues, and with us working from home more frequently, they get quite anxious when left alone. It's great peace of mind knowing that when we leave them with Melissa we are leaving them with a pet lover, and they will be looked after with care!

Bam Bam is a “pandemic dog” meaning that he was used to spend a lot of time with us and get lots of attention during his first 2 years. Our pain point was leaving him at daycare while we work. He started suffering from separation anxiety and stressing us out to leave him. Woof & Purr was the magic solution! Bam Bam gets personalized attention, has lots of fun, meets new friends and even learns new tricks! For the first time in 2 years we saw Bam Bam being very excited about leaving us and ready to spend his day away from us. This is priceless for us: we have peace of mind now, because we know he couldn’t be in better hands. Also we get photos of his activities during the day, so we feel connected to him. :)

Melissa is fabulous. I have 3 very friendly and people oriented cats. I was looking for someone who will play with the boys and give them lots of cuddles. Melissa did exactly this, each day she visited at about the same time (cats love routine) and then sent me pictures and stories of their adventures. She got to know each of their personalities and made sure no one was left out. The boys were settled and relaxed when I got home proving that things were as good as I imagined. I have re-booked and I’m glad I have found someone who fits in so well with our little family.

I had a great experience with Woof & Purr. Melissa has a deep love for animals, which showed when she did some cat sitting for me recently while I was away visiting family. I have an elderly cat that needs medication by mouth twice a day, and he's so grumpy that there are certain boarding places that won't take him! My little senior citizen was happy under her care, getting the food, pats and medication he needed while I was away in the comfort of his own home, free of the stress of being moved around, hearing and seeing other animals, etc. My cat was very well adjusted when I got home...I think he didn't even know I was gone! I'd hire Woof & Purr for cat sitting again, and would highly recommend their services to other cat owners who don't want to put their cat through the stress of boarding.

My dog, Boy George, gives Woof & Purr 4 paws WAY UP! Woof & Purr's Melissa is a diamond in the rough! Since moving to Vancouver in 2015, I have found it challenging to find a trustworthy and reliable dog walker. Melissa is more than that. She goes above and beyond to give my dog a great walk that includes stimulation and training. I know I can count on her to be there for my pup when I can't be. **Bonus: She takes great photos and tells wonderful stories of my little buddy's adventure!

We are so glad we found Love on a Leash! We have used their excellent service a number of times now and will continue to do so. We feel fully confident Toby is loved, safe and well looked after while we’re on vacation. We would not hesitate to recommend LOAL for their caring, reliable and top notch dog care.

Tammy and every one of her team are amazing! Tammy is a great communicator, she has always matched our pup Charlie with someone who is perfect for her. Tammy was an incredible advocate for us and Charlie recently when Charlie had some emergency health issues while we were away, she truly gave us peace of mind and took incredible care of our pup. We always know Charlie is getting lots of love while we are away. Highly recommend Tammy and all of her caregivers 💛

Tammy runs a loving (and tight) ship, matching dogs with the caregivers she thinks will work best. We've loved them all - and more important, Baci our golden doodle has, too. Tammy keeps careful track of drop-off and pickup dates and times, which makes scheduling our own lives easier. Thanks, Love on a Leash!

Bruce loves love on a leash. We’ve had great experiences with our dog sitters and appreciate the efficient service, the timely updates while we are gone and a happy dog when we return!

My dog Hugo loved staying with Love on a Leash. I normally feel guilty leaving our dog while we go on vacation but knowing that he was in such great care allowed for a relaxing holiday. Tammy is reliable and easy to talk to over the phone. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby. We hope to use you again!

When our Jack Russell Terrier, Ella, wasn't a fit for the usual dog boarding facilities, we almost panicked (how do we travel?) until a friend recommended Love On A Leash, and let me tell you, we couldn't be happier. Tammy and her team of caregivers (particularly Lori Baker) have provided loving, excellent care for Ella five times now and will continue leaving her with them every time we travel. Tammy and her team really care about your pet, and it shows -- Ella loves visiting her Love on a Leash "aunty" (Lori) and is excited to get in the door! Leaving your fur baby when you travel can be super stressful, but Love on a Leash allows you to enjoy your vacation, knowing your fur baby is in good hands, probably getting even more attention than at home. Without hesitation, I 100% recommend Love on Leash and am so grateful for it!

We recently found Love on a Leash, and they have been a Godsend. We were in desperate need of a sitter since our sitter from Rover bailed last minute right before our 2 week trip. Love on a Leash were very accommodating to the tight deadline, along with doing a great job with our dogs strict medication schedule. Archie specifically stayed with Love on a Leash in the Country with Shelly and Frank. Frank came to pick Archie up and was very patient with Archie as he was nervous getting into a car with a stranger. We were treated with photos and updates whenever we asked and Archie seemed to be having a great time with the other dogs. When we were finally reunited with Archie he looked healthier then when we left him haha. We took him back recently for a couple of nights and he was absolutely stoked! Shelly and Frank are incredible dog lovers and very very professional, I couldn't recommend them more!

Our two dogs Coconut and Luna LOVE staying with Steve and Janet! They were pampered and had a wonderful relaxing time! Scheduling care through Tammy at Love on a Leash was super easy and she was very helpful and accommodating recently when we had to extend dog care due to a family emergency. I highly recommend them!!!

Only wonderful things to say about our experience with Love on a Leash! We have had our dog stay with Love on a Leash in the Country for many years now and every time we return he is a happy, healthy boy and has even learned some really good habits! Tammy is always responsive , caring and professional, and Shelly and Frank -with their home in Abbotsford- are awesome :) Thanks!

Our dog Noah loves Love On A Leash in the Country. He adores Shelly and Frank! Frank usually picks up Noah and when I tell him Frank's coming, Noah is waiting at the front door for him. Noah loves the outdoors and staying with Shelly and Frank is perfect for him. Noah loves playing with his friends there. We have total peace of mind with Love On A Leash in the Country, and with Shelly and Frank. Whether it be a 2 day country retreat for Noah or a longer stay, we always know he's in good hands. Frank usually delivers him home at the end the stay, and Noah always looks out the window as Frank drives away!

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 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!

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 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!

Nathan and the team at Adventure Den were amazing with our puppy during a long weekend away. They were super accommodating, responsive, friendly and helpful. The team went above and beyond for us to ensure we had a stress-free vacation. Highly recommend!

Lola can’t wait for her walks with Mica and her team. They take great care of her, she gets lots of friendly socialization and play and comes back happy and tired. Mica is lovely to deal with, makes everything easy and I know Lola is in good hands.

Mica & the team at Let the Dogs Out! are fantastic. They are extremely kind, caring, professional, and trustworthy. They really take the time to pay attention to details and cater their service to each individual dog (& owner's) needs. Our dogs were always clean, happy, and exhausted after the walks. They also send a picture and summary of each adventure so you can see what they were up to! I highly recommend using Let the Dogs Out!

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Let the dogs out over the last few months using their daily group beach walks. I have an older dog who is still fairly active (and opinionated!) and the team has been excellent with her needs. Not only do they provide a fabulous all-around service but their dog handling effectiveness and commitment to positive reinforcement really distinguished the team for me. The group walks are perfect for her variable energy levels because she can choose how much to run around. I am so glad to have them while I’m at work and love seeing the happy photos of her afterward!

Mica and the team are true rockstars. They are so professional and considerate, as well as flexible. They have worked with Murphy to improve his off leash recall and he is more interested to meet other dogs when I take him on a walk, rather than him cowering behind me. The team is flexible and responds quickly. Murphy is exhausted and I don’t need to worry about him soiling himself when my husband and I are both at our busy jobs. I HIGHLY recommend this company! The walk report cards are an added bonus that brighten our days.

Mica and Kaity have provided excellent service through Let the Dogs Out dog walking. It is fun for our dog Milo to have group outings and play with other dogs and we love getting the updates and photos showing him. We'd highly recommend this service to anyone looking for dog walking service for their pups.

I can't say enough good things about let the dogs out! Mica and Kaity are the best!! I feel completely safe with them walking our dog Kaia ❤️❤️ They care for her like she is their own. I love watching Kaia interact with the other dogs on Instagram during their walks. Kaia gets so excited when they arrive to take her out. She sometimes doesn’t want to come home. The team is so organized and accommodating. They always give us updates on Kaia’s progress and all about her great adventures! Thank you guys Maria

Mica and her team is so professional, caring and communicative. My dog comes home so exhausted from such a fun morning with them. I get updates throughout the walk and pictures too. I could not be happier with their service and care!

We could not imagine a more attentive dog walking company than "Let the Dogs Out!" Mica and Katie are more professional than any other dog walkers we have had over more than 10 years: they communicate with us by text when our dog is picked up and dropped off, and they welcome any feedback we might be able to give them. We could not be happier with their care of our dog and would recommend this company to any family who cherishes their dog!!

Mica and co are amazing! Whether it's for group walks or for boarding, they treat your pups like they are their own. Highly recommend them!

I have absolutely loved these guys! I honestly cannot stop telling friends how much I trust them to care for my pup August. I can tell how much they care so genuinely for the dogs they take care of, they are flexible and work well with changes, they were willing to support August why he was more anxious in the car. I have been blown away by their willingness to go above and beyond. And, every time August comes home he is happy and sleepy (but doesn’t seem overstretched socially or overstimulated). It has been the best way to make sure he gets the exercise he needs in the middle of s busy life schedule!

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.

I took my dog here when I needed another option for her while I was at work. She was only there for a short time as sadly she passed away, but my impression is that this business is run by people that truly care about the dogs they look after. They took the time to do a gentle introduction to daycare with my dog (with me present which I liked), patiently answered my many questions and concerns, and from what I saw were very good with my dog. I also appreciated the countless photos and videos they post on instagram, relieved my anxiety about how my dog was doing and also very cute to see. I was pretty particular about who I left my dog with, and I liked this place/trusted them.

Our duo it love it. They are so excited to go to daycare whenever I mention daycare to them. They spend the day hanging out with their friends and napping. Andrea has an amazing team! They are aware of our breed and ensure they are not overly exerted and are mindful during the summer months that they cannot spend too much time in the sun. Im so grateful to have come across this daycare as my smaller one of the duo little is a bit of a handful.

Absolutely love Andrea and her staff!! My Corgi puppy LOSES her mind when I ask her if she wants to go to daycare and she’s always sooooo excited to see Andrea when we get there, not to mention she comes home exhausted and just sleeps all evening which makes for a nice quiet night for mom which is always a bonus. I also love that they upload so many photos to instagram every day and they’re of amazing quality! They’ve taken the best photos of my dog that I can’t even come close to getting. I highly recommend them and I’ve never seen any of the negative behaviour stated in the negative reviews. I wouldn’t trust anyone to care for my pup as much as I do the staff at Raise the Woof!

Our dog is obsessed with this place. I have to drop his leash as we approach or he’d pull me down, he’s so excited to get there. He’s met so many dog pals there, and the staff always get the “big woof” when they come to greet him. They’ve also recently extended their hours and are open until 10pm, which has done wonders for our social life. Also, no better photos have been taken of our pup than the photos on their Instagram. It’s so comforting to see ur boy throughout the day having the time of his life with his buds!

Been taking my pup Bones for almost a year to date and he has done daily daycare and boarding at times and loves the staff and other dogs in their care. Highly recommend.

Andrea and all her staff are great and all of them genuinely care about my dogs health and well being. My dogs come back relaxed, happy and tired. Its so nice to have a place to drop my dogs when life gets a bit overwhelming, and know that everyone is going to be happy.

This daycare is fantastic! I’ve been sending my pup here for around three years and we’ve used both the daycare and boarding services. Previous to Raise the Woof, Frankie hated all daycares and had to be carried inside. At Raise the Woof she runs in immediately and sometimes needs to be convinced to come home at the end of the day. We both love Andrea and all the staff and have been nothing but impressed since day 1.

We tested a bunch of doggy daycares, but Raise the Woof is the best! Such lovely people working there and our dogs so look forward to going to daycare a couple of times a week. We haven't used it yet, but they also have a super reasonably priced pick-up/drop-off service! Highly recommended! :)

I love taking my dog here! She’s always excited to be there, and clearly loves the staff. Plus she’s always exhausted at the end of the day, so she clearly gets a lot of exercise and stimulation. I am so happy to have found Raise The Woof, and feel super comfortable trusting them with my pup. <3

Our doggies have been going to Raise The Woof for about a year now. Our dogs love it! They are just as happy to go as the wonderful staff are to welcome them each morning, and they come home happy, all played out, clean and ready for a good nap. Thanks Raise The Woof for being a place we can trust and that our dogs absolutely love 🐾💕🙏 …

This is our favourite dog sitter in Vancouver. Our dog is a little fussy with who looks after but adores Lauren and settled so quickly. She is great at helping our naughty sausage socialise with other dogs, gives lots and lots of cuddles and walkies and we don’t ever worry while we are away as she is in 100% the best hands. We got photo updates and messages letting us know how our doggo is getting on and it’s so nice to have someone local that does the same daily walks so it’s not too scary for our doggo being somewhere new. Thank you so much Lauren for taking such good care of Bun 🐶❤️

I trust Lauren with the most important members of my family as she treats them as if they are her family! From the minute we met her, you could tell there was an instant bond and trust. She has a natural ability with dogs. I never worry that they aren't getting the best care with her, from dressing them appropriately for the weather, and even coming back to check on them before leaving the building, even if she's already finished her appointment with them. I am always happy to get reports of her visits, of how it goes and what they get up to. I know I can really rely on Lauren. I appreciate the fact that if they won't walk far due to the bad weather, she makes sure to spend extra time to hang with them to give them love and attention. I really like using Lauren for dogcare, because she is very trustworthy, reliable, goes above and beyond the scope of dog care, the dogs love her and she loves them! I never have to worry because I know they are getting the most love and attention possible.

I honestly don't think I can ever write a review that fully describes the way Lauren has impacted our family. I met her while she was walking other dogs I knew from my building and I instantly could see that Lauren was different than anyone else. We have now had Lauren in our lives for two and a half years and honestly we are so lucky to have found her. She is a second mother to my Bella. Lauren sees every dog that she works with as her child. I was incidentally two days away from giving birth to my second child when I called Lauren to see if she may be able to help with Bella while I was going to be in hospital. We had about an hour conversation on the phone and then she came the next day to meet myself and Bella. From the very beginning they fell in love. Bella adores Lauren and vice versa. I can't explain to you the relief I had that we had Lauren during this time. She was so accommodating to us. Lauren assesses the dogs she walks and cares for on a continuous basis. She keeps communication open all of the time with updates and photos. I have Lauren to thank for the most beautiful photos of Bella (including the one I've added to this review). My Bella is a very anxious unconfident girl but with Lauren she seems to lose all of that. The bond they have and the relationship they have is unbelievable. Recently we went camping and decided not to take Bella as it was our first time camping with our kids. I didn't feel sad or worried about not taking Bella as she was going to be with Lauren. Literally Lauren is Disneyland and Love all wrapped up for Bella. Lauren is a trustworthy and genuine person. She not only spends extra time with Bella... talking, cuddling and kissing her before she knocks on the door she also has gained such a bond with my kids. We love her and appreciate Lauren so much!

I always know our little dog will have big fun when she stays with Lauren! Our dog loves her and I never have to think about her while I’m gone, zero dog parent guilt. Highly recommend.

Main street Dog care has taken care of our dog several times, all with the same result. our buddy returns home the happiest we have seen him, clearly from the love Lauren extends to her canine friends. whether its just a day walk, an overnight stay or an extended homestay Lauren provides the most amazing care for our dog and many times sends us photos to show us how happy buddy is in her care. actually Laurens photo skills are quite excellent too! we will never hesitate to trust our dogs health, safety and well being to Lauren and the Main street dog care team. thanks Lauren!

Lauren is amazing! I've left Elvis with one or two professionals before for a few days and had never been that happy with the result. Lauren came recommended to me by a client and I'm so glad we found her. It's so obvious how much she cares for the animals in her care, and she really goes the extra mile to make sure that your fur baby will be happy. We got lots of text updates and TONS of cute photos (including the one I'm attaching), and it was just so relieving to know that he was happy with her and that she was making the kinds of decisions for him that I would. Hands down the most relaxed I've been leaving him with anyone other than my own husband.

Lauren is amazing! She takes my pup on private and group walks on a regular basis. My dog gets so excited each and every time she gets picked up for her walks and will shower Lauren with love and affection. Lauren is professional, reliable and she truly loves what she does and it shows!

Lauren has looked after my dogs many times. I have used her service for over three years now. My dogs always have a great time with her, and I know I can count on her to do a great job. They definitely get first-hand treatment and affection, and it makes me very happy to know I can go on vacation while my dogs are in great hands.

We have complete trust in Lauren with our dog. We know she loves her the same way we do and know every decision she makes around her care will be exactly the same as what we would chose. Her connection with animals is amazing. We would highly recommend her!

I love the fact that she obviously loves my dog as much as I do. Lauren's longing to have Penelope snore beside her and let her sneeze in her face is incredible. She is beyond attentive and sweet with Penelope. I never worry because she is very trustworthy. It's not a side job for her, it's what she loves and does for her livelihood. She's extremely good at it. So good that I never get the guilt trip from Penelope when I return home. I love knowing everything will be better than I left it when I come home. I have recommended her to all my friends and will continue to do so. I will always choose Lauren!
