Pet Sitters in Lower Lonsdale

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!

Fairy Dog Mama has been a life saver. Courtney is just the best. She is accommodating, flexible, easy to communicate with, and is super knowledgeable! She has taken care of both our reactive dog Farley and our cat Luna. She has been there for us on so many occasions and always ensures Farley is happy and tuckered out during those days I was back in the office. Courtney understands special requirements for our reactive dog which we appreciate to ensure our training journey is kept on track. We also had several visits from Steph who was also great. Absolutely recommend Fairy Dog Mama to anyone looking for a pet sitter/walker.

Steph at Fairy Dog Mama has been walking our dog Ollie for almost a year. She has been really kind and patient as Ollie has a few anxious quirks while also being a very energetic dog. He loves going out with her twice a week! We have only good things to say about Courtney and Glitza as well. Highly recommend this trustworthy group.

Highly recommend The Fairy Dog Mama - especially Courtney! Courtney has truly been a lifesaver - not only does our dog love her but she is super easy to communicate with and is extremely trustworthy. She also sends along great photos and updates so we know exactly what happened on her walk with our dog and so we can replicate what she does to help reinforce good behaviour. Thank you Courtney!!!

Courtney and Taylor are the best! There is no one else I could trust more with my dog. They’ve always taken such great care of Reggie while we’re away and he loves going on the group walks with them :) highly recommend!

Courtney and Taylor are the absolute best. I've never trusted anyone to take care of my puppy like I do with them. They are so caring, gentle, and kind. They work with some of the best force-free dog trainers to provide excellent care. Courtney took our puppy for an entire month while we were away for work. She sent us so many photos, videos, and allowed us to video chat with our pup 😂. We felt at ease the entire trip knowing our puppy was being loved on and cared for by Courtney. We've used other dog boarding companies, as well as friends, and we never felt the level of comfort that we did with Courtney. She only takes 1 dog at a time, and showers them with love, affection, and cuddles. She also follows your schedule so you don't have to worry about your dog being on a different routine when you get home. If you need a dog walker, a dog boarder, or any of the other services they provide - don't hesitate! Truly the best! We love you fairy dog mama. We can't wait for our dogs to stay with you in the future ❤️

We started working with Fairy Dog Mama in January 2021 and never looked back. Taylor is our “fairy” and she is amazing! She’s trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and so kind. We trust her with our fur baby 100%!! We love that they use force free methods and Taylor is continuing her education with positive reinforcement dog training. I always know our dog is in good hands and having the best time when he’s out on his walks! Plus, Taylor posts a photo of each walk and it’s so nice to see our pup, Quincy, with all his friends! Quincy does group walks and comes back happy and tired. (Which is great because he’s a high energy Aussie!) I recommend this company fully so if you are looking for a wonderful dog walker, look no further!!

We had a wonderful experience with Taylor and Courtney at Fairy Dog Mama! Both are so professional, reliable, and communicative, and Taylor was amazing with our dog, Hunter. Hunter can be pretty stubborn and picky, but Taylor won him over immediately with her patience, positivity, and love. Hunter would still be having walks with Taylor if we hadn't moved away. We will miss you very much!

I have used Fairy Dog Mama for 6+ months and have been so happy with both Taylor and Courtney. My very anxious and high-need rescue pup just adores Taylor. She is so professional and caring, and truly goes above and beyond with him each week, continuing with our training and making us feel so safe and secure when she is walking. I could not speak more highly of FDM!

We have been using this wonderful service for over a year and have been so impressed by the quality of service. The communication with Courtney and her team is prompt, clear and personable. She has a team of top-notch personnel, one of whom is Glitza, who our dog Leo, loves. One day Leo and I met Glitza on one of our dog walks and Leo was so happy to see her that he wanted to stay with her. This is a reflection of the care and love he receives from her. We are so very happy with Fairy Dog Mama and highly recommend their services!

Taylor stayed at our house for 9 days while we were away. She took great care of the dog, 2 cats and our house. We felt so secure leaving our animals with her. She continues to take our dog out for a walk once a week and she does some work with him around his anxieties when encountering other dogs as we see such an improvement in him when we walk him. I would not hesitate to recommend the Fairy Dog Mama. They are great and have a wonderful way with animals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Farzaneh is such a kind person and amazing with dogs. My puppy, Frank, goes to her doggy daycare at least four days per week and has fun all day while learning manners and basic commands. He can’t wait to get out of the car and go in. She has an indoor and outdoor area and they get so much exercise and stimulation. Everywhere else I called was going to crate him for most of the day and she doesn’t use crates at all. We are so happy with her service. I would highly recommend her.

I am absolutely thrilled with the care and training my dog received at Farzaneh's dog daycare. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this is a special place. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can feel the love and dedication Farzaneh has for every dog in her care. The daycare itself is fantastic – clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed to keep dogs happy and safe. My dog always comes home exhausted and happy after a day there, which is a testament to the fun and engaging environment Farzaneh has created. But what truly sets Farzaneh apart is her exceptional training skills. She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands how to communicate with dogs. I've seen a remarkable improvement in my dog's behavior since we started training with her. If you're looking for a top-notch dog daycare and an outstanding trainer, look no further than Farzaneh. I highly recommend her services to any dog owner!

Farzaneh is really knowledgeable and professional. She helped us in training our puppy and It helped a lot. Definitely recommend her .

Wonderful service for doggie daycare, boarding and training. I’ve used Fae for all three with my nervous rescue pup to help him settle in, and provide day care with training while I’m at work. She has great rates and is very flexible. Highly recommended!

We absolutely LOVE Fabulous Paw!! Without a doubt, this place is certainly our Dog’s ‘home away from home’ . Farzaneh is compassionate, knowledgeable and has this amazing bond with every dog she comes in contact with. She is the only person I truly trust and I know my fur baby is in good hands when I drop him off.

As a pit bull owner, Farzaneh has helped me train and take care of my dog for the past three years. She is very knowledgeable and flexible. I strongly recommend her.

Farzaneh took excellent care of our dog while we were in BC on short notice. She was kind and accommodated our needs to ensure we had a worry-free stay while our dog was well taken care of. Now I know who to call when I'm in BC in the future.

“Farzaneh joon is by far the most professional, kind, and genuine dog trainer/sitter I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She truly cares for your little ones, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind when leaving their dog with someone else.

Farzaneh is a very well experienced dog trainer. We got our dog from her and Farzaneh helped us with the training and daily routines of the dog and daycare. I certainly recommend her.

Not only is she professional, but she genuinely cares. I can’t leave my dog home alone, so he’s either always with us or with my mom. Farzaneh Joon’s place is the only other place where he feels calm and comfortable, aside from my mom’s. You won’t find a more suitable place than this. I feel so lucky to have found her.”

I have been using Treks for pets for many years now (over 8 years?) for both of my beautiful Aussie Shepherds. I ALWAYS feel like T4P has the dog’s best interest at heart. All the Trek leaders are confident, patient and truly love what they are doing. Danielle and her team run a very good business, in my experience. Now we have my daughter's dog trekking with T4P when he is in town and he loves it!

I was almost in a near death experience with a grey Toyota RAV4 marked “marvellous Maggie” The driver of the company vehicle, marked “Treks for pets” plate # Treks 1 was speeding in a residential area at over 85km/h. The lady driver blew a stop sign at this high rate of speed, barely missing T Boning my vehicle by mere inches in an intersection. The vehicle had a white dog in the front seat, distracting the driver, as well as a driver with blatant disregard to both other people, and the animal’s safety. I would recommend not choosing this driver to transport your pets, as it could end up in a deadly accident sooner or later. The Police was contacted and a report was filed with this vehicle/driver.

We have been using Treks 4 Pets for years now and are thrilled we found them when we did! Our dog Petra a multi gen labradoodle who has grown up with Treks and has gone on scheduled weekly walks, always comes back with a smile on her face (literally) and as happy as can be! We have also used their border services when on vacation and always had the same results! Danielle the owner of Trek’s has been wonderful and extremely loving towards Petra and all of the other four legged trekers. We have no hesitation in recommending them to take care of your four legged member of the family.

Danielle and her team are fantastic, from the moment of the first introduction to our interaction every week - the service is timely, friendly, and most importantly they make such an effort to get to know each dog. Our dog Barley knows what days her groups walks are, she gets so excited and is by the door waiting for a pack leader to pick her up. The post-walk email updates are such a delight to read, and is such a nice added touch to the service, we love reading about what Barley and her buddies were up to on their walk.

I cant say enough great things about Trek 4 Pets. Ive always been so nervous to leave my dog with a dog walking company as everyone has 'some friend of a friend who had a bad experience' - and like everyone, my dog is my baby, so we stress about them - but Trek 4 Pets has really blown us away. The owner, Danielle, is super attentive and detail oriented. She met with us before she agreed to take us (and our dog) on as clients and discussed everything from our dog's needs, to behavioural issues, our efforts on training, etc to ensure he would be a good addition to their pack. They provide a GPS track of each walk, put a GPS collar on the dogs and send a very detailed report on how the walk went (the good and the bad, all explained in a very judgement free and caring way so you know exactly what happened on the walk and can work on it in your own training!) along with tons of photos. She is always so accommodating of last minute requests for extra walks too, and answers our emails in a very prompt and professional manner. The other reason I love this company so much is the woman who walks our dog - Emma! Our dog just LOVES her and you can tell its really genuinely reciprocated. She treats every dog so well, and manages their personalities differently. Every time our dog sees Emma, he gets that uncontrollable puppy-butt-wiggle that he reserves for his most special people. I feel really good about his walks knowing he's that thrilled to see Emma each week. On the days I am working from home and hear his collar outside, I get a few min to watch him coming in from the car and Emma is so attentive, gentle, loving and bonded with him - its really heartwarming to see. My husband and I are very active people and have no issues providing our dog with enough walks, but we started his walks for socialization during COVID and we have continued them just because he loves them so much - he comes back visibly happy and pooped every time. I cant recommend Trek 4 Pets, Danielle, or Emma enough! Photos attached is one of the photos provided during our walk :)

Our pup has been apart of Trek4dogs for a couple weeks and I have to say, they are amazing. They take great care of the dogs, they get so much exercise, and I love the emails and pictures at the end of each trek. Danielle and her staff are quick to respond and always accommodating our ever-changing schedules, I can’t thank them enough. I would defs recommend to anyone looking for a dog walking service.

I'm not entirely sure whole loves Treks 4 Pets more, me or my dog Jack. Probably Jack. I mostly say this because he's happier to see his dog walkers than he is to see me when i get home after work!! Jack?? But seriously, Treks 4 Pets has been a game changer. He comes home super happy and super tired after every adventure. They provided me with a bunch of pictures of them out and about and even how far they walk each day. Jack is lucky to have such great dog walkers. I can't recommend them enough!

Our dog loves treks 4 pets she goes running to the door when they arrive to pick her up and comes home super happy. Danielle and the team have been so good about accommodating our dog care needs even last minute. Treks 4 pets has been amazing with my new rescue dog. She came to us with little training and some behavioural issues. Treks 4 pets has been taking her out first on private treks and now group treks and I really notice the difference on how much better her manners are with other dogs are. She also LOVES them and is so happy when they show up to take her trekking and she is so nice and calm after her treks it gives us a nice break having a very high energy young dog.

I am so glad we found Trek4Pets! Danielle and her team are great. I really appreciated that Danielle was super thorough with learning about Zoey in our initial meeting. I love that we get an email each time with details of the walk, including a map of where they ventured and pictures. I also love the client portal for booking - so easy to use. And they have always been super responsive and great with our changing schedule. Can't say enough good things!

Treks4pets is now taking my second dog out for treks and taking care of her when we are away. We have been trusting our furry family to them since they started their business. Our dogs love to go for treks and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take them. I love that the staff work on their manners and training on the treks. We just got back from 3 weeks away and treks 4 pets took care of our dog and she is so happy and calm I can tell they made sure she didn’t miss us at all.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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!

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 🐾💕🙏 …

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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