I recently had the pleasure of using Your Human Pet Services for my cat, and I couldn’t be happier! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Cam genuinely cares about animals and made me feel at ease leaving. During my time away, Cam provided regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my cat was well cared for. Our cat is a trouble maker and Cam went the extra mile to make sure our cat and house were safe and clean. I highly recommend Your Human Pet Services to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive cat sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future needs!
Cam has been a friend of my former partner for 20 years so there was immediate trust when it came time to take care of our high needs MinPin and at-times "anxious of strangers" Chihuahua. He won both dogs over in no time, paid close attention to their habits and needs and built a routine that kept everybody happy! Both are rescue dogs, Jack is vision impaired and elderly at 16, Dude sometimes struggles to trust dark-haired men and is inconsistent with who passes as safe! Cameron created a structure for the boys that really worked, got them socialized along with other pups in pack walks and when we came home at night Jack was tuckered out from good exercise and was not nearly so needy! Cam also made sure our cat Bean's needs were taken care of too! He has a great scheduling system, offers a wide variety of services, is very reasonably priced and he's trustworthy - not just with my pets, but also with coming to our home when we're not there. I highly recommend his services especially if you have a special needs pup, he's really got a gift with them!
I can't express how highly I rate Cam and his amazing service! He treated my senior blind dog like a king and was always the high point of Jack's day! Cam never had an issue with my 'troubled chihuahua ' and always managed to get him out for exercise, something Im not always successful at! His after walk texts and pictures of my pups always made my afternoon, seeing them so happy. I have also used Cam for overnight sitting, lasting four days and I have never felt so secure leaving my home and loves in his capable hands! You will not regret hiring Cam for any of the services he offers. His professional attitude and attention to detail are refreshing and valuable in today's market and your pets will love you for it!
I met Cam awhile back as I to do pet sitting. We combine, share and refer each other for the best pet services possible. Cam has a calm way about him that keeps pets, and owners, comfortable with his care. It can be difficult to give someone trust with your pet friend, especially first time. But you can with Cam. I recommend Cam fully and I enjoy having him not only as a good friend, but valuable pet business owner/co worker. I trust him fully 🌻
Cam is so incredible with my girl Peaches who is a 9 month golden Labrador. He took her in at 5 months and she wiggles so hard when he comes to get her that I can tell her love for him is genuine. Peaches has separation anxiety and through his gentle guidance she has improved so much. He not only takes her for great walks and swims but also helps her get used to new places and things, the car and of course scary men with beards. Thanks to Cams help she is becoming a happy well socialized pup. Her on leash walking is improving as well thanks to Cam. Many people charge so much more for so much less. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Cam and I know Peaches feels the same.
Cam is a gem 💎 ! Sadie sits at the front window waiting for her Cam time, it’s really sweet how much she adores him. On top of the love Cam is incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to connect with your dog on the level they are comfortable on. You’re fur baby will come home we’ll walked and ready for a nap!! Oh and bonus is Cam in an incredible photographer~ He’s taken my favourite photos of Sadie ❤️
My doggie walker uncle cam is the bomb! He always makes sure little yumby is well looked after,very exercised and all the dogs are grooving together! The walkies app is brilliant! I can see where they're walking and how many jobies she's done! I am very,very happy with unca cam,he loves my little pupper like she s his own! I can't say enough great things!
The Saturday pack walks are a time of both pet and human companionship; it is wonderful to be a part of a group of like minded people who support each other and benefit from one another's experiences. Kudos to Cam for arrasnging this for us all!!
Highly impressed with Cameron's pet services! He goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of furry friends. Excellent care, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for animals. Can't recommend him enough! 🐾🐶🐱 #TopNotchPetServices …
We hired Your Human Pet Services to check on our cat while we were away for 3 weeks and are really happy with how it went. We will definitely use the service when we travel in the future. When we initially reached out we found the communication timely and professional. The meet and greet was easy to arrange and he made a good first impression. When we were away he came over to check on the cat, change the litter etc, and also picked up the mail and took out the trash. Our cat is typically shy and skittish but not in this case. She went to him for affection and played with him too. He sent updates with pictures that put our minds at ease. He went above and beyond when there was a power outage and our home alarm was going off, we contacted him and he went over first thing to take care of it. We were really impressed with the service and how our cat bonded with him. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for pet services and are telling everyone we know how well it went.
Robyn has been the most lovely cat sitter! When she wasn’t available the first time I reached out, she quickly recommended other services that were also great. She has been conscientious and loving with our cat, sending photos and staying in close communication. And of course, she thinks our cat is the cutest ;) We will miss her help when we move. I highly recommend Island Time!
Wow!! What can we say? 🐾 🥳 Knowing your dog and cat are in SUCH good hands, especially with a new auntie they ADORE is such a relief. 🤗 We have a rescue doggo with a history, who needs important meds twice a day. Ruthie 🐕 is so sweet, but can be a bit of a handful. She has a bit of old fear/anxiety and is *waves hand* at new people, but once you're in the Ruthie Club, you're in there! You get such a goofy, fun girl. We had a big two-week trip planned, and we hadn't spent a night away from Ruthie in the 3y she'd been with us and now with the new meds... 🥺 We found Robyn (and Marina) to house/pet sit Ruthie and our orange cat Hamish 🐈 (who has his own anxieties, often pulling his hair out when he thinks somebody is missing). You probably know that feeling of looking forward to being away, but worrying sick that the furkids are going to be okay. Sometimes still worrying when you are on the trip! 😮💨 We had none of that worry!! We did a couple meet-and-greet test walks and an overnight with "Auntie Robyn", and they hit it off great! In the Ruthie Club straight away. And for us, we just immediately got the sense of care and capability from Robyn. The feeling that she can handle this, she knows what to do if something comes up, and they're going to have a great time together. 🤗 You can tell yourself this all day, but unless you feel it, that background worry won't go away, even after you go away on your trip. Well we felt it right away! This is the first trip we did where we didn't have that background worry (our previous dog was much easier but we still felt it when we went away). Ruthie had SUCH an amazing time, and everything from the meds to the cuddling in beds went perfectly!! We got updates of the gang doing all kinds of adventures, snuggling, palling around with other dogs. We kept saying it was Summer Camp for Ruthie, and she didn't have time to miss us! Even Hamish had a great time! (Didn't pull out any belly hair!!) We are honestly justifying future travel, just so Ruthie can get more time with her Auntie Robyn (and Auntie Marina)! 🤣
Robyn is an incredible human who has taken the best care of our challenging dog, Ruby. She has bonded with our sweet Ruby quite quickly, and Ruby loves spending time with Robyn every week. Robyn's dedication to understanding dogs, their body language, behaviours, and quirks, is truly impressive. She works diligently to connect with them and their owners, ensuring she provides the highest quality care. Ruby and I give her five stars, and we are more than willing to share her :) (Seriously, she is fantastic; hire her!).
We are so glad we found Robyn. She has watched our dog (Jindo mix) for two separate week long trips, and it has gone great. Her space is clean, she has a kind and caring approach and communicates regularly with pics and messages. She has a great yard and took our pup on lots of walks. We had a small issue come up with our dog during our last trip and she handled things thoughtfully and we didn’t have to stress knowing our dog was in good hands. Would highly recommend!
Our family has a Zoo. One dog, 3 cats (2 special needs) and 3 reptiles. Robyn took on this unique situation with Care and Compassion. She sent daily texts and videos of the animals’ adventures with her and even drove one fragile cat for a vet follow-up. We felt so relieved that Robyn was at our home while we were enjoying a family vacation. Thank you for your kindness Robyn and we highly recommend You to other families with furry and cold blooded critters :)
Robyn has been walking our dog, who has some reactivity issues, and I'm so glad I found Robyn because I could trust her to continue her training routine using training methods I approved of. Robyn bonded with my dog right away and my dog was so excited to go on walks with her. This really took a huge weight off my shoulders. Robyn is very professional and always came on time and sent pictures and updates after every walk. Unfortunately we are moving, otherwise we would continue to use her services. She is great, we will miss her!
We can not say enough good things about Robyn and her pet care services. We were visiting the area for an event and needed someone to look after our dog, Sam. Within a short time, we could tell that Robyn was a perfect choice to watch over Sam and make him feel at home while we were away. I would highly recommend Robyn to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry family member - we wished we lived closer by so that we could use her services more frequently. She is a sure bet for those who are local or coming in from out of town. Five plus stars for Robyn and Island Time Pet Care!
Robyn has cared for Nano several times, including both overnights and shorter visits. Robyn's love of and engagement with animals is apparent every time she comes over, she so quickly attends to our dog's enthusiasm and love of chasing ball! We receive regular updates about how Nano is doing, including great photos. Nano loves Robyn, and we never have to worry about him when he's in Robyn's care. I actually think Nano's a bit disappointed when we come home and his visit with Robyn is over!
Wow! What fantastic and professional pet care by Robyn. This was our first time looking for professional pet sitting (two visits a day) for our cats and were a little nervous about having a stranger in our home but as soon as we met Robyn we felt totally at ease. She got all the important info from us about our cats and was so good with them during the meet and greet. We loved getting daily pictures and were so pleased to see our shy cats come out of their shells when Robyn was playing with them. Robyn’s communication, professionalism, and organization was great. Such a fantastic experience and we will 100% be booking Robyn again for cat sitting. Thank you!
Whenever we are traveling we ask Robyn to walk our two chocolate labs. She is wonderful with them (they both adore her). My one dog can be reactive with new dogs and Robyn is really good at managing my dog. I'd highly recommend her services to anyone who loves their dogs. Robyn is the best!
Carlos just got home from a weekend at Pawsh. The first couple of times he was nervous he can be a shy dog. We knew he was in good hands as our beloved Presley loved Pawsh. This weekend Carlos went right up to the door and wanted in. We could go away and feel relaxed. Carlos has been sleeping since he got home. All the activity and social time has tired him out. Thank you Lisa and team.
I literally could not pick a better place to bring your dog in the Victoria area. I moved here from Ontario in 2021 and since an introduction they have loved Alina as one of their own. They have taken her last minute through family emergencies and adore her during her weekly daycare other than that. I could not speak more highly of this place. They treat your dog like family.
Lisa and her team of animal caregivers are incredible. A Pawsh Oasis is the only other place our wacky cat, Cheetah, feels safe and happy. It’s truly an oasis for the animals and our family knows he will be cared for like he’s their own. Highly recommend this place and business.
Rufus just spent 3 weeks at Pawsh. He had a great time! He loves to go there for daycare/boarding and it’s easy to leave him knowing that he’s excited to go. Thanks so much to all of you for your kind and loving care of our boy:)
I’ve been taking my dogs to Pawsh for daycare for the last two years and I love it! The hours are very accommodating and my dogs always come home exhausted from a good days play. The staff are very attentive to my dogs needs; my younger pup is shy around people but sure loves the staff there, especially the walk lady 😉 Pawsh has been great for getting her comfortable around new people and dogs. Our older dog doesn’t need to go to daycare anymore but we send him as a treat. We’ll be lifelong customers ❤️ Here’s a photo of Quinn on one of her daily pack walks at Pawsh.
Our dog has been going to Pawsh for over a year now. She loves to be outdoors and they have the perfect setup for that. She’s always excited to go and loves her cuddles at drop off. She comes home tired, but peaceful. All staff care for our girl like she’s their own and I know she’s safe/having fun when she visits for daycare/boarding.
I boarded my cat Charlie with them for 3 weeks and it was a good experience for him and I. Charlie is a large breed cat and, since they accommodate the cats in furnished 'suites' and don't use kennels or cat condos, he had room to move and a comfy window perch to watch the birds from. I received quick replies when I checked in on him during my travels AND they sent me multiple photos each time. I picked up a slightly grumpy (LoL) but well cared for cat who settled back into his home routine extremely quickly. Thanks to the team - I would trust you with Charlie anytime!
My Pup loves Pawsh Oasis! She runs into the building and doesn’t look back. Makes me feel good when I leave her there. It’s so warm and cozy inside and dogs are allowed to roam like home. I know Molly will be well looked after ❤️
My dogs run inside and are always so tired afterwards which is a great sign. The daycare and boarding are both great options, and they are very accommodating with scheduling. Highly recommend 😊! …
After a building fire in our home PawshOasis stepped right up making room for our cat Tuna. We had no where for her to live til we sorted out what to do. Not only did they step up for us but PAWSH is a palace made with love. It’s an Amazing place for your pet to stay while you are out of town etc. Not a worry in the world.
My cat boy in not an easy guy to love, but he was very much at ease with Bob. I have taken my boy to several kennels but because of the hoarding situation he came from, he's totally stressed by other cats. I returned from a six day trip away, and my cat was so happy to have been in his own home. Happy to see me, but not a basket case like he's been after some kennel visits. Bob is the best.
I thought I wrote one of these, but I'll gladly do it again... Bob has been watching our pets for about six years or so. First our cat, and most recently our new dog. Not only does he do a fantastic job, he's reliable, trustworthy, and kind. We couldn't ask for anyone better to watch our pets. Being in the military, I am away a lot. Bob has never let us down... We were on vacation and had to extend it due to a family emergency; Bob was there for us. I will never let anyone else have keys to my home or take care of my animals so long as Bob is around. Fantastic! Highly recommend.
Bob and his wife took wonderful care of our dog 🐶 Tito for two half days. This was first time Tito gone to daycare and he loved it. They went to Island View Beach with 5 other doggies. Tito came home exhausted from all the fun he had. Thnaks again Bob, we will definitely be back woof woof …
Ashley and her team do a wonderful job, this is a great service! I use them weekly and have also used her daycare services when we were away. Your fur babies are in good hands with this crew! I highly recommend them.
Where to start?! Our 2 year old pup has been going on walks with Amy for about 6 months now. Amy has been so professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. If we need a referral for anything dog-related she knows her stuff. Also, our pup had some anxiety issues and they were quickly resolved with these magical trips with Amy. He greets her with a smile all the time. Amy's walks have helped improve his quality of life which is priceless. He is just a happy pup. We are so thankful we found her!
Amy has helped us immensely over the last couple of years, whenever we have not been able to provide daily adventures our border collie ourselves. He absolutely loves her and gets so excited when he hears her name. She has gone above and beyond to make sure he has a great time and make our lives easy. She has amazing and stable rates, communicates well, and most importantly always ensures our pup is safe and cared for, and he comes home tired and surprisingly clean for a dog frolicking around the forest/beach/fields 😂 I recommend Amy and her team to anyone in the westshore who is looking for a trustworthy, friendly, caring person to take your dog on off leash adventures or for overnight dog boarding.
Pacific Dogwood Dog walking is amazing! My pup Winnie has been a part of the pack for four months and I honestly can’t say enough good things about Amy and her staff. Winnie loves going on adventure walks with her new dog friends, and I especially love how tired she is afterwards. The amazing photos that Amy and her awesome staff take on the walks are a testament of just how much fun the dogs are having and also demonstrates how much control she has of the pack, it’s truly incredible. She treats every dog with love and kindness as if they were her own. I am completely worry free about leaving my dog in Amy’s care and highly recommend this service.
Amy and her crew are fantastic. Our puppy is high energy and his pack hikes are really helping us with his energy levels! He loves Amy so much he leaps into her arms when she arrives to get him. We've left him while we are away as well with both Amy & Chantelle and have been so pleased. Our minds are at ease knowing he is happy and safe and having so much fun with all the other dogs.
We’ve been using Pacific Dogwood Dogs since our pup was old enough to go on group walks and we’re so happy to have found them! Amy & her team offer exceptional service, our dog is SO happy to go out on his adventures with them! I especially love the photos that Amy posts of their adventures! Can’t recommend them enough!
Amy is beyond amazing! She is so kind, gentle, and is compassionate with every dog she has under her care! We love having her as our leader for Panda Bear. We love what she does with the dogs, taking them on daily adventures. Panda always comes home happy and tuckered! We love hearing updates and photo updates of her hikes! We always look forward to the hikes! Amy is so communicative, compassion and all around amazing! We highly recommend Amy at Pacific Dogwood Dogs!!! ☺️
Any is brilliant. We are so happy to have found her after a very scary incident happened with another dog walker. She approached our situation with great patience and understanding - knowing that our dog Leroy might be scared of the whole pack walk experience. Amy has made Leroy fearless again after having many positive experiences with her. She’s not only great with the dogs but her communication, work ethic and positivity make her such a great fit for us. Leroy LOVES her. We are so grateful we have someone we trust with our dog. We couldn’t recommend her company enough.
We have been using pacficdogwood for a year now. Amy and her team are wonderful, caring, loving, professional and attentive. Our dog Penny started going out for hikes with Amy at 1 years old it’s been a blessing in her overall training. Our dog is now a well socialized dog with excellent dog manners. Which I think Amy and her team helped make her a well rounded dog. I always receive a text msg when penny is going to be picked up and when she’s coming back home. Also at the end of the day we get photos of her out with her dog friend's having the best time ever. I always recommend Amy and her team to anyone who as a dog because we just love her services so much! Thank you Amy for being the BEST 😊
Happy. Happy. Happy. Dogs love it here and we love leaving Koko with Amy and her crew for a day, a week or a month. Koko has such a fun, healthy, learning experience with "the pack" I feel guilty when her time is up and she has to come home. Amy is the best, she is a great communicator and pays attention to details. Daily photos and videos keep us in the loop when we're away. Do yourself and your dog a favour.
Amy is absolutely amazing! She has taken my pup Frankie on many adventures and sends me photos and updates when I'm missing her. She's one of the only people I trust to look after her when I'm gone. As soon as Frankie sees Amy she lights up with overwhelming happiness. I always know she's in good hands. Very, very highly recommended!
Truly loves taking care of my boys! No hesitation in leaving if I know Amy is there.
They were amazing with our 3 large breed dogs, and the dogs LOVE it there. We had anxiety about leaving them, but everyone was so understanding, and they provided updates and pictures. We have used their daycare and boarding services and recommend both.
We have been sending our two dogs to Pet Pampering for years. Our boys always come home happy and tired. Our older dog has boarded with them dozens of times. The staff and owner are very knowledgeable and kind. They have always been able to accommodate us, even on short notice emergency situations. They are professional and compassionate and we are always confident that our dogs are in good hands! So grateful for Pet Pampering and cannot say enough good things about them!
Pet pampering is amazing!! they have really gotten to know our pup and he is so excited when we get there. It's so great knowing that your dog is having fun, getting exercise, and being well cared for :) Thank you to everyone at pet pampering!
I went for a meet and greet today and the facility is beautiful. Very well taken care of. The staff is very friendly, dogs all seem happy. I'm taking my husky there on Monday and I couldn't be more excited for her to beable to run free and play with other dogs in a controled environment.
Awesome place to take your dog for the day or to board. They ensure all dogs are up to date with their vaccines and they work with all the dogs and their different demeanors to make sure all of the dogs are secure while staying there.
We originally had a reservation at another kennel and went to check it out (before we left our puppy with them for the week). We were disgusted by how the other kennel 'took care' of the dogs and how you had to pay extra for outside play time. The dogs were completely neglected and locked up all day. We are SO HAPPY we found out about Pet Pampering and felt completely comfortable leaving our Shiba puppy in their hands. He was excited to go back for his next visit, which says it all!!
We have been taking our little dog Marvin there for daycare and boarding about 2 years now. The staff there are amazingly wonderful and they really get to know my dog. Marvin was a bit nervous and hesitant when he started, but now he would just voluntarily walk into the gate to greet the staff, so nice to see that! My dog is older and they always make sure he is okay throughout the day and let me know when I pick him up. Thank you for all you do to take care of Marvin, we really appreciate that!
Our dogs always love spending time here, they’re always excited to arrive and disappointed to leave. The staff is very friendly and they have easy check in and payments options. Highly recommend.
Love this place! My dog always has a great time. She stayed with them for over a month in the summer while I traveled. They said I could email for updates and they posted pictures on Facebook of the dogs. Great place.
Our dog loves going to pet pampering. The staff there are friendly and really get to know your dog. They help with behaviors and offer suggestions. Very affordable and love that the dogs are outside every day, rather than cooped up in a tiny room like in most doggy day cares.
Heather set up Kaitlyn to be my petsitter at my condo for my big reactive boy Henrod II, and to take care of my senior grumpy 16 year old cat General Bonkers, and Kaitlyn did wonderful. They both take medication, and Henrod has a very strict routine for dealing with his reactivity. Kaitlyn also didn't leave my place a mess and I felt like it was in good hands. And Kaitlyn would send me picture text updates of my critters while I was away. I recommend Tailz to Trailz for your petsitting and dogwalking needs!
Our pup absolutely loves Heather he looks out the window and waits for her. I highly recommend and have full trust in her with our families fur baby.
We are so grateful to have been recommended Heather and her team! She was willing to take on my puppy, gradually introducing him to the pack and keeping him on leash until he’s sufficiently trained to be off leash. She works on his training, tires him out and helps with socialization. My older dog now also tags along on hikes and her favourite days are hike days
Heather is phenomenal with my 1 year old pup Oliver! She is very personable and I always enjoy a quick chat when she’s picking him up or dropping him off. She is flexible and always has the dogs best interest in mind. :)
Heather and her crew are AMAZING. they are reliable, they treat our dog with love, and they get our pup good and tired with hikes. We've been with Heather since our pup was 4 months old, and she's become basically one of my dog's favourite people ❤❤ could not recommend this group enough!!
My dog has been going on weekly hikes forever with Tailz to Trailz. Heather and her team are responsible and flexible; my dog always comes home happy and exhausted. I have had nothing but great communication and experiences with Heather, she has always been prompt to respond if I have any questions. You can tell that her heart is in what she does!
Hope(my Vizsla dog) has been hiking with Heather for almost 3 years now! Shes always been very flexible and always there if I’m needing extra walks in! Hope is always tired and happy when she comes home! Thank you so much for your services 🐕☺️ …
Heather and Josh are the best with my Pug, Bruce. He loves his hikes three times a week and always comes home so happy. Then, he's out. I also appreciate the pictures from the hikes. It's nice to see him out there while I'm at work. I trust Heather and Josh with Bruce.
I have two corgi's that were used to the freedom of country living and so when we moved to an apartment in Victoria, I was in need of a dog walker. Heather was recommended to me by a co-worker. Her sub-contractor walks the corgi's (due to my location in the city) but the whole experience dealing with Tailz to Trailz has been wonderful. I highly recommend Heather and her support staff. Very accommodating, reliable and great with the animals. 5 ✨!
Heather is the best with animals! My dogs love her. I would recommend Tailz to Trails to anyone who needs their fur babies taken care of!
