Dog Sitters in Panorama

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

We love Noelle’s!! Our boy Fred is always so excited when we pull up, we know he loves it! The fact that they do one on one training and send out videos explaining what to work on at home, really sets them apart from all the other daycares!! We would 10/10 recommend!!

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 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!

Samson is our 12 year old Australian Shepherd and we recently lost our other 12 year old Aussie so we wanted to try somewhere new to board him (we travel often) but at the same time were hesitant to use a commercial boarding facility where there would be a lot of different dogs everyday because of daycare and on the day we took Samson for his assessment there were quite a few dogs there. The staff at Jet Pet North Shore were friendly and welcoming, took time to ask questions and made us comfortable, they seem to care and want dogs with good demeanours. They introduced Samson to the pack and he spent time with one of the staff so they could assess him around the other dogs. We were given a tour of the facility which was very clean and well organized, each dog has a ‘cubby’ in the kitchen where they keep their food and belongings. We like the fact that they separate the dogs into 3 groups for play (small, medium, large) and there is a staff member with each group, there is an inside and an outside play space. They have a good schedule with group playtime in the mornings and afternoons and also have individual quiet time at lunch and in the evenings. Each dog has an individual sleeping room (many different sizes to choose from) and there is a picture of the dog along with info about them posted on their room door. When we picked Samson up from his assessment he was happy so we decided to board him for 4 nights. Samson is a sweet and gentle boy with a very good temperament, gets along with all dogs but at home he is a people loving ‘Velcro’ dog who loves to be petted, give kisses and be acknowledged. Jet Pet has a UTube channel and live camera for half an hour in the afternoons for each group, (you can also watch previous days) but we knew we wouldn’t be able to access it where we were going so we asked Anna (the manager) if they could send us photos while we were away. Anna was wonderful, she sent updates and photos (even a short video clip) and took time to do so even on her day off which we greatly appreciated! When we picked Samson up he was excited and happy to see us but didn’t seem like he was in a hurry to leave so we think he was treated well in our absence. Anna said she kept Samson in the front office with her his first morning so he had some ‘quiet time’ with a human to help him get used to being in a different setting and this demonstrated she really cares! They had taken the time to wash a t-shirt we had left with him as he had an accident the first night. Samson has been sleeping lots since his return (likely needs to catch up on his rest) but he is as calm as he usually is and we believe he was well taken care of! We will be boarding him again at Jet Pet North Shore and may even take him back for the odd daycare day. Thank you to all the staff (especially Anna) and Samson will see you again soon!

Original review (update at the end): Unprofessional and unreliable. To summarize, my Border collie, Freya's experience @jetpetresort_northshore didn't turn out well because they lock the dogs in at night with no one checking for hours, so she scratched their wall. They're charging me for 4 nights despite me going to pick her up after 1 night's stay, and they claim that the scratches are "at least $450 worth of damages" which is ridiculous... I offered to pay a certified handyman $30/hr to fix it (they replied no, they have own contractor). Yesterday & today their pet cams didn't even work so I said I wasn't impressed and wanted a refund for the remaining 3 nights due to their "Smile Smile Guarantee" refund policy, which they won't honour. Furthermore, they claimed I sent instagram messages saying I was satisfied with the service... I didn't even contact them through there. Needless to say, I'm never recommending Jet Pet again, and I'll be disputing the payment with my credit card provider. Update - Anna, the manager, did stay until closing to have a courteous chat with me to clear the air. Although I didn't receive a refund, she iterated that they asked me to pick up Freya for her best interest since she's not a good candidate for boarding due to anxiety, and this would be tough to troubleshoot. However Jet Pet Resort staff do think she's a good and sociable dog. They would like me to return for day care and offered me a free day in the future (instead of a refund) and are not charging me for the scratches in her room. Anna accepted my feedback to re-word their satisfaction guarantee policy and said their facilities had a night watch in the past, but they didn't have enough revenue to continue hiring and it made no difference to quality of care?. Jet Pet does monitor the guests via overhead cameras... but there's no employee on site from 7pm until 7am the next day. After the above discussion I changed my rating to an amicable 3 stars.

Our new black lab puppy has been going to Jet Pet for a couple months now, and I can’t imagine a happier, more caring and safe environment for her to socialize, grow, and learn. Every staff member that I’ve met seems committed to the well-being of each pet, right from entering their facility, to keeping our pets safe, engaged, and clean for pickup at the end of the day. Both our cat and pup stayed overnight for a week, and they both were perfectly well-cared for. Thanks very much for your professional care: Curtis, Jack, and all the rest of the staff - Ellie and Soxie will be happy customers for years to come! Best regards and see you tomorrow! Vincent, Anne, and family.

This was the second time I have left Zena at jetpet. I was so happy with my experience. They were very kind and helpful considering my anxiety of leaving her. The staff are very comforting and helpful when dropping off and picking up. I got to see her play every day in the beautiful outdoor yard on the u tube videos and check on her at night. Looks like she had another fantastic time. See you soon! Thank you Jet Pet resort North Shore

We’re so happy and relieved to have found JetPet! Our dog has long-standing fear reactivity issues with new people in our home, making at-home dog sitting impossible for us. The staff at JetPet have been incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating with our dog’s anxiety and reactivity. We recently left her for a 5-night stay and loved being able to watch a portion of her day on the YouTube channel. We could see that she was comfortable hanging out with the small or medium dog group and around the yard staff. We also loved checking in on her through Instagram stories. We will be boarding her here for all of our future travels!

It seemed some body kept deleting my review!!! My dog Lemon had three days (November 8 to November 10 ,2023) boarding first time. We booked a grand room with camera, we could know what she was doing in her room. I found she looked bored and pleased Jet pet her some toys, they were nice and gave her. We went back home from trip yesterday.we picked her up in the afternoon on November 10,2023, we gave her a shower and found swollen parts under her arms, a long fresh red part around her neck. All the red swollen parts were under harness. I emailed Jet Pet hoping to know what happened immediately.Nobody answered me. I guessed that someone pulled her very hard and the harness scratched her skin too much and hurt her skin. My son cried when he saw the swollen skin.Today(November 11,2023),we brought Lemon to see her veterinary , the doctor gave her some medicine and cream.

Our two pups have had many great stays at Jet Pet. Both dogs are very excited when we drop them off (one is a Border Collie who would not go inside if she wasn’t happy ). Great staff and great facility.

Jet Pet was amazing for Pepper’s first daycare experience and sleep away from home. For a high energy breed I was a bit worried but the kind and caring staff put me at ease right away. She stayed five nights and I felt totally comfortable- the play cams and Instagram updates showed her having a great time! She was given naps as I requested and the staff followed my other care instructions as requested. They also gave her a bath before home time and washed her bed and blanket. She was happy to see me but didn’t want to leave! Happy smiles from her stay.

It was Lucky’s first time to be in a dog boarding place. Jack and the team have made a pleasant and welcoming experience to Lucky. Kate did a wonderful job in walking us through the process. Lucky was a happy boy when we picked him up after 3-days. Thank you everyone and Lucky will surely come back to see you all again.

JetPet is under new management and it is like a whole new facility! The exterior outdoor yard and the interior have been upgrade over the past months with no disruptions to care or service. Best of all my dog lives the staff and is so happy to arrive and be greeted by her human friends. When I pick her up she is happy and tired. The staff are faithful to take pictures throughout the day so you can get a ‘sense’ of the day. My pup is camera shy, a diva and photogenic…but they try! Thanks so much Kurtis and team! Jane S.

My dog Indy is pretty socially awkward and introverted and he loves it here!!! The staff are all awesome, I have never had a problem. They are super responsive and always give prompt updates as someone who gets stressed about leaving my pet with someone else. They obviously know what they are doing. Indy always come back sleepy and happy and freshly bathed. Great for daycare and longer stays. Below are some pictures of him during his time there. 🙂🐾

We recently sent our dog, Cookie, to Jet Pet Olympic Village in Vancouver for nearly a month of boarding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Like any pet parents, my wife and I were initially concerned about how Cookie would adjust to such a long stay. However, the staff at Jet Pet quickly eased our worries with their exceptional care and attention. They communicated with us regularly, providing updates and even photos, which reassured us that Cookie was in great hands. It was clear from the start that the team at Jet Pet genuinely loves and understands animals. They built a wonderful bond with Cookie, who seemed happy and comfortable throughout the stay. Special thanks to Moumita, the manager, for her professionalism and dedication to ensuring Cookie’s well-being. We wholeheartedly recommend Jet Pet Olympic Village to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care for their pets.

Jet Pet Resort Olympic Village did an excellent job caring for our 18-year-old senior dog, Sherry, during her three-week stay. It’s rare to find a facility willing to accommodate such an elderly dog, and they made thoughtful adjustments to meet her needs. Sherry has limited vision and hearing, so they kept her in their office area to ensure her safety and comfort. They carefully followed our feeding instructions, and when she had a minor nosebleed, they promptly informed us and took her to the vet for care. We’re grateful to Moumita and Tanya for their kindness and attention to detail. They went above and beyond to make sure Sherry was well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet boarding.

We have been taking our French Bulldog to JetPet OV for about 2 years - almost every day of the work week - and it has been a fantastic experience. He always leaves happy and tired, and he always looks forward to going. The staff are excellent and treat him like their own, and his socialization is great as a result of the time he spends there. If there is ever any issue at all the staff are quick to communicate. Once when our dog was boarding and seemed a little unwell the staff went above and beyond to make sure he was ok and we felt he was in the best hands. I’m very surprised by the few negative reviews here - not our experience at all. Sure it smells of dog pee but for an indoor facility I’m not sure what people expect. JetPet OV is great!!!

I recently had an appalling experience with this pet daycare and will never bring back my two French bulldogs. Although my dogs are accustomed to daycare, this place was a nightmare. When we picked them up, their ears and noses were bleeding, indicating a severe lack of proper care and supervision. The facility itself is absolutely disgusting and reeks of terrible odors. Every time I called for information, the agent seemed clueless and constantly put me on hold. The visible areas of the facility were filthy, making me dread to think about the condition of the hidden sections. I highly recommend against bringing your pets here. They are negligent, extremely expensive, and utterly incompetent. Terrible company.

We left our fur babies at Jet Pet for 11 days and we were over the moon with experience. Our pups happy and healthy when we picked them up even had had baths!!! Jet Pet was quick to text back and answer all questions and send pictures! We were able to watch our pups during feedings and bedtime and talk to them aswell! Our one pup has a sensitive stomach and they sent us a pic of the food to make sure she would be good! They went above and beyond. Will definitely be bringing them back!!!

Our small dog Tokyo had a fantastic stay at Jet Pet for a week and we can say that we feel at ease with their staff taking care of him while were away. They are responsive and did a great job at updating us. Highly recommend!

My two dogs boarded at Jet Pet for a week recently and had the best time. I'm so impressed by the level of care provided by the staff! We were welcomed so warmly when I went to drop them off, and they remembered details about my dogs' health concerns and personalities. I also loved seeing photos of the two of them on instagram. Both my guys are friendly, but one of them is a senior and can get overwhelmed in rowdy and loud environments. He was kept in the kitchen area with other calm/senior pups, where he received lots of attention from the staff and got to take lots of relaxing naps. My other dog is young so he was placed in the "Tiny Tots" room where he got to play and run around all day. I'm an overbearing and slightly paranoid pet mom, and it takes a lot for me to trust a facility with my dogs. But their time at Jet Pet was so great that I'll definitely be boarding them there whenever I travel in the future. I'm so happy I get to enjoy my time away while having the peace of mind that they're being well taken care of. Can't recommend Jet Pet and the wonderful staff enough!

Our Charlie Sheen loved his time at Jet Pet and we loved that he was so well taken care of. He had a great time! He did't want to come home with me when I picked him up. The photos posted area always great to see. Charlie Sheen will definitely be returning for another stay at Jet Pet. Highly recommend Jet Pet.

Marianna and Camila are great at Jet Pet. They are super sweet and helpful. I have been using the daycare for years and they are always great with my two dogs who are full of energy and rambunctious.

I can’t say enough great things about Just For Barks. We tried a few other daycares when our dog was a puppy and nothing came close to Just For Barks. Odette, Javier and the whole team are amazing! We’ve now been sending our pup for over 7 years and we wouldn’t send her anywhere else. Odette and her team go above and beyond to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and mentally stimulated with an endless amount of new games/activities to do. They truly treat every dog as if it was their own. Thank you for taking such great care of my pup!

Our nine year old very energetic lab Luna has been a Just for Barks fan since she was a puppy. Once out of the car she drags me to the door, eager to join Odette, Javier ,their wonderful staff and her many canine buddies. I usually have to coax her out to take her home whereupon she relaxes and soon falls asleep exhausted. This is an exceptional dog daycare. The best on the North Shore by far (perhaps in Vancouver), demonstrating high standards of care, and thoughtful attention to individual dog’s needs. The staff are dedicated to providing a stimulating milieu for their four legged clients, and sound advice to two legged clients who are learning to handle their dog’s idiosyncrasies. Just for Barks and staff are a delightful resource for all dog lovers in our community !,

If I could give 6 stars I would! Our pup has been going to Just for Barks since he was 6 months old and he's now 9.5 years. Odette and her team are like a second family to our pooch and I honestly can't imagine trusting his care to anyone else. Odette goes above and beyond to make sure her dogs are safe, comfortable, and happy. Her endless creativity for fun, enriching games and heart warming holiday photos, combined with her commitment to excellence in care puts Just for Barks miles above the rest. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!

Just for Barks is like an all-day Montessori preschool for dogs! The wonderful team at Just for Barks not only cares deeply about the dogs in their care, but they also spend a lot of time working with the dogs on proper behaviour, as well as agility training for the dogs. The dogs are all together during the day, so they learn to be well-socialized and well-behaved dogs. The drop-in nature of the business makes it incredibly unique and accommodating for someone who has to travel or go into the office only some days of the week. I can't say enough wonderful things about this doggy daycare - our dog absolutely loves visiting his 'friends' at daycare!!

I cannot say enough great things about Just for Barks doggie daycare! I have been taking my dog to Odette and the rest of her incredible team since he was 9 months old and now he is 8 1/2 years old. I had never taken any of my dogs that lived with us through the years to a daycare but I really wanted our new puppy to go and be socialized and have fun and not have to be alone at home. I checked out 4 other daycares before I went to Just for Barks and there was ABSOLUTELY NO comparison, Odette is a dog whisperer, she is so knowledgeable about animal behavior, whether she is taking them out for their pee breaks, talking to them lovingly or gently growling at a puppy when they are misbehaving. The dogs have so much fun there and incredibly every one one them gets along, that is because all of the staff have taught the dogs "manners" in a fun and thoughtful way. It never occurred to me to write a review of JFB before but when I was leaving the daycare this morning a lady came up to me and was asking me outside if I could tell them about daycare because they were interested in taking their dog, I really couldn't say enough wonderful things about this place and when I got home I thought to write a review, which I should have done ages ago. Honestly this is the very best place that you could trust to leave your dog with.

If you want to make sure your fuzzy family member is well taken care of, then pick Just For Barks. They are not fancy and not big but they really love all the dogs as if they are their own Children. Their fees are reasonable and the care is excellent.

I can truly recommend just for barks doggy daycare! My puppy Oscar has been going for a few months now and has gone from a very shy scared little guy to a very confident happy dog. Odette and her doggy team are very caring and give lots of feedback on how Oscar has been doing. Gael

Amazing place to take your dog! The staff are very passionate about caring for the pups and mine gets excited every time she goes. The team are dedicated to making sure the dogs are safe, happy, and comfortable. They are incredibly kind and caring with every single dog they look after. They keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated during the day and also make sure they get rest. My dog misses daycare in the days she doesn’t go as evident by how she whines if we drive by in the car and don’t stop at daycare because she wants to go in! The staff truly love my dog and I feel confident that when I drop my dog off at Just for Barks she is going to have a great day and be well cared for!

My dog was very anxious around other dogs before going to 'Just for Barks'. Since being at this daycare she has developed confidence and she enjoys coming every time. The staff at this daycare are very dedicated to all of the dogs. They have made my dog more confident and comfortable socializing.

If there were more stars I would tick them all. Best daycare, my dog is so happy to go there and has gone to others and refused to go in the door on return visits. Odette loves all the dogs and they love her. She has so much knowledge as a trainer and helps us all with any issues our dogs might have. I would highly recommend Just For Barks.

Ken and Yvonne have been walking my dog for the past 5 years and I couldn't be happier. Not only are they awesome human being but they are truly dedicated to the well-being of my dog. They are caring, responsible and always go above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy, safe and healthy. They have become more than just a dog walker to me, they are now a friend and I trust them 100%. I highly recommend Marpole Dog Walking to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

Ken and Yvonne take care of every dog like their own. They are kind and wonderful people who I know I can trust my dog with. My Aussie pup comes back happy from every adventure with them and is always so excited to see Ken and Yvonne when they come to pick him up. We have also boarded our pup a few times now with them and can trust that he gets all the love and attention he needs. Ken and Yvonne always make sure to know your dogs schedule and any of their preferences they should be aware of. They are absolutely wonderful!

Ken and Yvonne are the most amazing care takers for my dog Noah and my parents Dogs Murphy and Dexter. The love and care that they have for all the pets (family members) that they look after is simply incredible. We have been with them for well over 4 years now and cannot recommend them enough. They post pictures daily and it always makes me smile to see their love and our pets through their photos. Our dogs always come home happy and a little sad to leave their love! We are furever grateful to have them both in our lives!

I made arrangements while I was in the US to drop off Noodle on a Friday. However, due to mishaps on my accomodations, they immediately took her in as soon as I landed Vancouver. It was a last minute request and they are very nice folks. I will bring my dog to them again. Ken and Yvonne are really nice. When I was picking up Noodle, they felt they were being separated from their grandchild, Ken’s arm on Yvonne’s shoulder as they bid us goodbye. Noodle would climb up to Ken’s lap as soon as he sat on the couch. Noodle became more affectionate when we returned to the US. Yvonne paid attention to the needs of the other dogs as well. Fed 3x a day plus treats and lots of hugs. They are really wonderful! I will bring Noodle back to them on my next trip.

This is the best place to take your pup! Ken and Yvonne have exceptional dog care skills. Whenever we take our Suka there we consider it a vacation for her as she loves them like Aunti and Uncle! Thank you both for being so wonderful and considerate!

The owners were wonderful and really helped us out of a bind. We had to go on a trip and we had planned to leave Kevin with another boarder. The other dog wasn’t really happy with a new 4 month puppy joining so we couldn’t leave him there. We were leaving the following day so now we had to find someone to leave our puppy with who we trusted. After meeting with them and having a long conversation you could tell they were great with dogs. Kevin instantly felt at home. So we felt comfortable leaving him there. We would get regular updates and pictures and when we picked up Kevin after 6 long days apart he looked happy and tired (must have played the whole time). I would highly recommend Marpole Dog Walking. 5 stars for sure! Very impressed!

Ken and Yvonne are just the best with dogs! They are caring, experienced and my dog absolutely loves them. I have dropped off my dog with them for the day on several occasions so she can get some exercise and play with other dogs. I have also left her with them for one month while I was on a trip last year and they took very good care of my dog. They are probably one of the very few people that I would trust to leave my dog with. Highly recommend!!

Great service run by caring, dog loving couple, Ken and Yvonne. I have boarded my dog, Mason here since he was a puppy. Ken and Yvonne do their best to be attentive with regard to diet and exercise. Mason returns looking well and is happy to go back. All questions are responded to promptly. Thank-you Ken and Yvonne.

Ken and Yvonne are truly amazing - professional, caring, competent and amazing with dogs. They made an impression with me from the initial call inquiring about their services, to picking our puppy Rodney after 2 nights boarding, and everything in between to assure us that he was doing well and sending pictures too! I was particularly nervous about boarding because Rodney was assessed at another dog boarding place and they had to cancel our reservation due to fear aggression he showed when he stopped by for an hour visit. When I told Ken about this experience and to warn him, he was confident with their abilities to manage Rodney and didn’t hesitate to take him in still. They gave Rodney lots of exercise, socialization with other dogs and just as an important love like he gets at home. Rodney was really happy and so tired when he got home. We will definitely come here again!!

Very nice and kind they clean my puppy too.Good job so thankfully

Cisco has been going to this daycare since he was a puppy. He absolutely loves it here! The staff has always been friendly and affectionate towards the dogs. We can see he's having the time of his life from the photos they send us, and we've never received a complaint about his loud barking—they just let the dogs be themselves. We feel confident leaving him for boarding, even on short notice. Even though we moved 30 minutes away, we still go to this daycare!

We’ve been taking our pup here for over a year now. They have been such a reliable second home for our very energetic and demanding working-breed dog. The staff and owner are genuine, accommodating and build positive relationships with all the dogs. They really provide amazing care for the all of the dogs, are genuinely interested in wellbeing and special needs of your dogs, and provide constant feedback on how your pup does each day. Don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have Furry Friends around, and would highly recommend this business to anybody.

We followed Aline here from Pet Smart. My dog absolutely loves her and she is the sweetest, most kindest soul. She is super attentive and does a great job grooming him. Unfortunately we moved to the island so we won't see Aline much, if at all anymore. Hope we can get him in soon - but I wanted to recognize the great work she does and how great of a groomer is she and sooo amazing with dogs.

Amazing daycare boarding. I love this day care . Well, amazing people involved in taking care of me .Nothing much, my gratitude to all of them . While my mum goes to work as a surgeon . I love furry friends, a lot of great brothers and sisters, and also girlfriends . Furry friends, I 🧡 you . Thank you of Me Peace harmony. Amigo Villanuver

Went in to get our dogs nails cut. They were super quick and friendly. We just walked in without an appointment and they had us out in less than 10 mins. Good pricing too

Took my dog here for the first time today. He loved it and came home spent. Staff sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend Furry Friends!

My baby is usually scared of everything and everyone. By looking at the picture, you can see how it went with Aline lol! Best service ever! My baby is super happy and loved Aline so much! Can’t wait to bring her there again! Aline is love! Aline is magical! Words can’t say enough!!!

They are amazing, lovely people . Taking care of my little hyper little fellow . They give a lot to our loved ones. I have no words to express how much they have done for me unbelievably. Keep up the good work Especially Melissa. And her partner . Bless you both

My dog Sugar has been going here for the past 8 months and is obsessed with Furry Friends daycare! She can be anxious around new dogs, people and different environments but this place is like her second home. The staff treat her so well and she even has a title "Director of Activities" because she plays all day. I'm so grateful that there is such an amazing daycare nearby and highly recommend Furry Friends if you're looking for a daycare in New West.

Do not trust furry freinds . Take your dog elsewhere. The owner is very angry and hostile with customers. I would not trust her with your pet.

Fiona at Vancouver Pet Care is pretty special. My husband and I had been nervous about bringing in someone who we’d not met before to care for our cats … but Fiona put us at ease pretty quickly. We’ve never lost that sense of confidence and ease in having Fiona come into our home while we’re away. It’s such a pleasure – and a relief – to have her to depend on. It’s clear that Fiona cares about the work she does and has a great affinity for animals. I love getting the pics and mini videos of our two wee beings from her, allowing us to be relaxed while away from them. We highly recommend Fiona if you’re in need of a pet sitter!

What can I say? Fiona is the best! There's no one else I would rather leave my sweet kitty with than her. I have absolute faith and trust that my cat Bea is getting the best care possible. I always have worry-free getaways because I know Bea is in great hands. Even better, Fiona sends detailed updates and photos after every single visit. She is an absolute natural with animals and you can tell she genuinely loves all her clients. She is also super flexible and accommodating. I have used her many times over the last year and a bit and I couldn't be happier with her service. If you're looking for a cat-sitter look no further, Fiona is it!

Fiona is amazing with our dogs, they are always super excited to see her and always come home tired and happy. She is easily contacted and replies quickly. We also love our daily dog video clips and photos from their walk. I would recommend her services to anyone!

Fiona is amazing. She does not just "watch" your pet/family member. She takes them on a wonderful adventure of their own. My little love had just as much fun as we did. I highly recommended her for anyone who loves their furry/feathered or scaled family member. The photos and videos she send sets you at ease that all are having fun. Thank you Fiona for adjusting your schedule for our emergency. We will definately be using her service again. WAY above and beyond Fiona!!!Quality care above all!

Fiona is fantastic - I recommend her to everyone. She is responsible, reliable, friendly and my usually-shy dog loves her. She has always found a way to flex her schedule to fit us in when we really needed it - for a last minute work emergency, or when I hurt my knee and suddenly needed help with walks every day. She also always sends adorable photos of my dog having a blast. She is knowledgable about dogs and training and has always been really effective working with my dog even when he was a 100+lbs of puppy energy.

Fiona is friendly, professional and takes great care of my dog. Whenever I see my dog with Fiona, I can see how much she loves her. She sends photos and videos of each walk - the communication is great. I would highly recommend Vancouver Pet Care.

Fiona! Where do I even start!! We had her stay for four nights; This is the first time I had to leave my dog with someone and she took away all the uncertainty. Such an amazing, professional yet personable lady. Winston LOVES her and I can tell she truly cares about him. She even took the time to train him! She communicated quickly and regularly so I never had to worry about him. I will definitely continue to use Fiona as a dog walker and a pet sitter. :)

The peace of mind that you get when Fiona looks after little Oscar is second to none. She did a fantastic job looking after our little toy poodle. Very punctual, caring and overall one of the best out in the business. Not only does she put the time and effort into every little or big pet she looks after and walks, she treats all of them as her own. I would highly recommend using her services for short or long pet care or even for causal walks. Thanks Fiona! You are one of a kind!!

If you are looking for a trustworthy and caring individual to look after your pet, look no further! Fiona is incredible at what she does. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond for your pet. She has taken care of my cat numerous times and I always come home to a very happy kitty. She is also very skilled when it comes to administration of medication. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Fiona is very caring and professional. Our pets love her and it gives us great peace of mind to have her caring for them while we’re away on vacation. We would definitely recommend her to family and friends!

Furry Friends is a great dog walking service. Both my dogs love going for walks with Alisha. One of them was even afraid of going on the group walks at the start, but the team there made him feel comfortable. They frequently send pictures from the adventures and have online scheduling so you can easily add/remove walks as needed. Great service!

We used dog walking service from Furry Friends from June 2022. We were happy with their service and they also boarded our dog for 2 nights in August. We felt lucky that we could finally find a local business who seemingly cares truly about our dog. On the day of his last walk, the walker took him outside without his leash!!! He ran out of excitement and got into a car accident. He had a wound on his leg bone and had to be in the cone for two weeks for the wound to be healed. When the incident happened the walker called us right away to say what has happened as well as messaging us 2 or 3 times afterward. We liked his walker however the way that the management handled the situation came as a shock to us. We decided not to continue with them because on no circumstance it is acceptable to take a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever out without a leash. When we emailed them that we wanted to cancel our service and we would appreciated if they would follow up on my dog’s condition this is what they replied: “We’re sorry you feel that way. There was no reason for us to follow up as Nesta was unhurt. We are not responsible for training or resolving behaviour issues.” It is just so disappointing to receive such an unprofessional selfish email after what we have been through and what my dog experienced. He does not have any behavioural issue. He is just a happy and excited Golden Retriever puppy!

Furry Friends offer a fantastic service. They’re professional, reliable and highly knowledgable. The owner Jenn was accommodating and patient with finding the most suitable walker for our very cautious and skittish dog. Our dog quickly warmed up to Neil (which was a first) and now adores him. Neil has made a huge positive difference with our dog and we are very grateful. I can’t recommend this company highly enough! Thank you Jenn & Neil!

We can't say enough good things about Furry Friends and Co.! Everyone on the team is extremely friendly, kind and trustworthy. They give our puppy, Parker, as much love and attention as we do... he is absolutely thrilled when they arrive to pick him up for a walk. The gentle yet consistent training has really made a difference. We are also confident leaving Parker in their care for multiple nights knowing that he is in good hands and being very well looked after. I would recommend the services of Furry Friends & Co. to anyone on the Northshore.

Love these guys!! They've been our dog walkers for a year now and I can't say enough good things about them :) Our dog is a Frenchie and requires some 'special' treatment. They totally accommodate all his needs and make sure he's well looked after. Our dog has an amazing time on all his walks and best of all, Furry Friends sends you pictures, videos and updates about their adventures on Facebook and via their custom Pet Portal. The team is top notch and we know that they look after our guy like he's one of their own.....these guys are the best!!

We have been clients for years. They are professional, reliable and incredibly dog and breed aware. We are grateful to have them as part of a dog care family.

We love Furry Friends so much! Especially Alisha who loves our 3 boys as much as we do. Thanks for taking such good care of them!!

Great communication, wonderful staff, happy dogs. Would use again.

Twenty-One years of awesome service. A wonderful team of dog people.

Reliiable people

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!
