Dog Sitters in Steveston

Had a long weekend trip planned, but was not able to bring along our 4 months old anxious puppy along with us. Wasn't sure how our puppy was going to fare apart from us and in unfamiliar environments, but Chantale and the Pathfinder team did a top-notch job of not only getting our puppy over her fear of other dogs, but also great at reassuring us of her progress with pictures/videos. You can tell that they really love all the dogs they take care of like their own!

We were happy to have done a meet and greet before committing to entrusting our dog to Pathfinder. He was excited to go for his first overnight visit and came home happy and with lots of energy. The staff communicate well with their customers. A very positive experience for us and our dog.

We love pathfinder! My dogs have been in their care for many years since we first began off leash hikes and private walks. We also have used boarding services for weekend trips and longer vacations. Chantale and her staff know our pets and their quirks and love to help them thrive with their various needs in each setting. We trust them no matter the situation to keep the dogs happy and safe! We are grateful to have trustworthy and reliable services for our beloved pup!

My dog loves coming here. Chantal and her team are amazing at Pathfinder Ranch. My dog gets great care , lots of excercise and comes home tired . They are amazing and love dogs .

Chantelle and her colleagues have so much passions on dogs. My Nugget the German Shepard has arthritis and has problems of his back leg. Chantelle recommended us to let him try wheelchair and she gifted the wheelchair for Nugget, I can not express how much I am so happy for Nugget and so much thanks to Chantelle. Highly recommend pathfinder dog ranch, my three dogs enjoyed boarding and play date there! Definitely will send them again! Thank you, Chantelle and all the lovely folks!

Chantale and her staff are amazing! I brought our dog Seymour (4yr old Mastiff/lab) to Pathfinders with a “last chance” mentality because he gets anxious around other dogs and it leads to aggression. We tried anxiety medications and we hired multiple trainers and behaviour specialists but nothing worked. In the meanwhile we started avoiding other dogs altogether but alienating him from other dogs seemed to make him more anxious. When I first brought Seymour to Chantale for an assessment this past August she instantly had him figured out and within minutes she introduced Seymour to another dog without incident. I drove away that day with tears of joy as I just witnessed Seymour meet his first friend and knew that Pathfinders was his only hope. Seymour has had several 3night stays since that day, has made lots of new friends and is off the medication's. He knows when we are heading to the ranch and gets really excited as we get closer and closer. He doesn’t even turn back and look at me when I drop him off. Thank you Pathfinders, we are very lucky to have found you!

My two rambunctious beagle boys were well taken care of at Pathfinders for a 5-night stay recently. Prior to that, they had been to Pathfinders a few times (and loved it) but never overnight, so naturally I was a bit worried. Turns out, there was nothing to worry about. They were in great shape and good spirits, and clearly looked well cared for when I picked them up. Midway through their stay, Chantale also sent me an update on how the boys were adapting and what measures staff took to ensure their comfort — which in turn comforted me. It’s reassuring to hear that their individual needs were being carefully monitored and considered, and that staff doesn’t take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to their guests. The boys were quiet and low-energy for a full 3-4 days after coming home, but otherwise very content and normal. It goes to show how stimulating and fun their stay at the dog ranch was. My boys mean the world to me and I’ll definitely be bringing them back in the future. Many thanks to Chantale and the Pathfinders team!

So glad Pathfinder was recommended to us - we can go out of town and know that Max is loving his stay at the Dog Ranch. As soon as we make the turn on to #3 Road Max starts getting excited knowing that he is about to visit Chantelle and her team. Communication has always been great, and we highly recommend Pathfinder Dog Ranch. They are the best!

Awesome daycare & boarding service! We had to go to the States for a couple days but couldn't find any friends to take care of our dog. I found Pathfinder online and asked whether it is possible to board my dog for a couple nights. I was initially concerned because my dog is a rescue, she is very skittish around new people and is not the best doggie when in the dog park. Chantale was quick to respond and offered us a trial half-day camp. Our dog had a blast during the half-day camp and made friends there. Then Chantale suggested us to send our dog for daycare services for a couple times so that the dog will get used to the staffs and the new environment. Our dog loved the daycare camps - she kept on running & running & running for almost 8 hours every time! It was also a relief for us because we do not need to walk her anymore for the day and she will stay quiet & be a good girl for the next day. During the boarding days, our dog also had a great time with Chantale and other paw friends. She allowed Chantale to hug her, touch her body and became a super snuggly doggie : ) It is such a big difference when compared to the first time she met Chantale and her crew. It is such a comfort to know that we have a good place for our dog to go when we had to be away and can't take care of her. Highly recommend!

Chantale is the life saver! If you have dogs who need medical attentions such as diabetic which my dog has, other medications, or special needs, she can take care of them. I was so desperate to find someone who can offer such a service. I could not find any in Vancouver area. But she is the one who does all. She takes care of my dog as her own dog. Thank you Chantale!

Leah is a great "dog person". She looked after our beloved retriever for a few days this month. It was his first boarding experience in his 9 years so I was a bit nervous. He was obviously happy and well-treated and I would not hesitate to recommend Wiggles N Wags for dog care.

Leah has been walking my 12 year old pug, Patrick, since I moved to Richmond 5 months ago. Patrick loves her and I know that he is in good hands. Leah is very reliable and has even been available on short notice to take Patrick out. I feel fortunate I found someone so kind, trustworthy and cheerful to take care of my little guy. I highly recommend Leah and Wiggles n Wags!

Leah has been walking and boarding my dog Argus for about a year now I am happy she decided to open her own dog walking business. Leah is always professional and reliable, Argus is always excited to see her. I know he is happy and safe in her care.

High quality

My two girls are walked by one of their staff here in South Delta. She is amazing. Our two girls had a compromised life when I had my second baby. This service picks up where I am unable to provide. It means the world to the dogs and has greatly enhanced their life. The company provides photos and videos of the walks, and all comments and questions are addressed professionally. Highly recommend.

The team at Delta Pet care have been amazing! We are so happy we found them! Our dog has had a lot of fun running in the fields and interacting with the other dogs.(He told me this is his favourite thing). They’re are really caring and thorough with texts and videos every day! 5 stars.

I have a cat and had Delta Pet Care look after her for four days. They accommodated me on short notice and were thorough and prompt in all their dealings. Phoenix was great with my cat. Phoenix and Linzie went above and beyond when there was a problem with the door lock and a new deadbolt was installed by my landlord. She was able to pick up the new key and carry on with caring for my kitty. Thank you Delta Pet Care I will definitely be using you in the future!!!

Linzie and her team have been walking Timber for 6 months now, and they have been amazing. Super flexible with our ever changing schedules and Timber loves his walk days! If you are looking for a dog walker in Twas, I would highly recommend.

Our dog goes on pack walks with Delta Pet Care weekly. He's not easy but Linzie has taken him on and gives us lots of updates and a clear picture of how he is doing each week. I don't have to worry about how he is doing because there is clear communication. They are also really reliable which I have found is hard to come by in the pet care industry. If you are looking for a provider of pack walks or dog care I'd recommend them.

Thank you to Delta Pet Care for the amazing care and accommodating our sometimes changing schedule🙏 Benji is a happy boy 🐶 and waiting patiently for his human to come home. This is favourite chilling after walking adventure with Linzie and Maryah 😍 …

I used Delta Pet Care for dog/cat sitting and I had a wonderful experience .. First time it was a very last minute trip and Linzie was very responsive and helpful.. I then send my high energy dog for group dog walking and Linzie was always on time and taking care my dog has her own 🫶🏼!! I just reached to Delta Pet Care for pet sitting my dogs and cats during the holiday season and they respond me right away giving me the peace of mind to book my trip .. I just love how they make my dogs happy 😊!! Thank you !!!

Linzie and her team are great, it is so helpful to have them pick up our two dogs and bring them back tuckered out! They always love going on their big pup walks, and we always appreciate the video updates of our two pups having a blast! Would definitely recommend to check out Delta Pet Care!

I cannot say enough about how great Delta Pet Care is! They are great with communication and organizing everything with pickup and drop off. They send photos or short videos while the dogs are out with them which I love! Our dog Oakley loves his pack walks with Delta Pet Care - he comes home tired and happy each time!

We had Delta Pet Care take good care of our 3 fur babies while on our Hawaiian vacation. They were so professional and very kind to our dogs. Highly recommend them and will use their services again

We have been using Richmond Dog Walking for over 4 years now. I know when our dog goes off for his adventures he is first secured in the vehicle safely and then taken to a super fun off leash walk with his pals. He comes back tired and content. I know Lucie can handle anything unexpected as she is fully trained in first aid as well. It is easy to communicate with Lucie and I am never concerned about if or when she’s coming. She is reliable and trustworthy and I trust our valued family member will be safe and have fun in her care.

Lucie has been walking my dog for a couple of years now. My dog is timid and sometimes anxious, so I asked Lucie to take her with the pack so that she can get time with other dogs— and she loves it! Lucie is kind, communicative, and takes the time and trouble to get to know each dog and what they need. She sometimes even sends me pictures of the walk, and my dog always comes home happy and exhausted from her weekly beach day. Would happily recommend Lucie to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, safe dog walker.

Our dog has been dog walking with Lucie for almost 3 years. Despite being an 80 pound labrodoodle, Lucie has no problem taking him to fun places, then back home. Upon arriving home via her large, spacious van, our dog will sit patiently and await the delicious treat that Lucie gives to all dogs at the end of their fun time. With her professional expertise I truly recommend her.

Lucie has been walking my dog for 8 months. I know my dog is safe, happy, and walking in a different location every day. Highly recommend Richmond Dog Walking.

Our dog Olive has been with Richmond Dog Walking for over 4 years and she looks forward to getting picked up each week for her off leash adventure with the pack. We have complete trust in Lucie & Paul as they treat our dog as if she is part of their family.

I highly recommend Lucie as she is very professional, organized and accommodating. She has a real passion and care for dogs. For starters she came to my house to get to know my dog Mara to see what days she would be a good fit. I appreciated being able to get to know Lucie beforehand. Lucie takes Mara once or twice a week and Mara loves it. I know Lucie has safety and first aid protocols in place which is super responsible in my eyes. Also she is very flexible to add a day per week. I. will continue to recommend Lucie.

I have been using Richmond Dog Walking for 3 years now. Olive always comes home happy and exhausted after her walks with Lucie and the pack. I highly recommend Lucie to anyone looking for a dog walking service.

Our dog Toffee has been with Lucie and Paul for a little less than a year. Lucie and Paul are very loving and provide great service and care for our dog. They follow the by laws to the City of Richmond and always take head counts of the dogs they walk when they’ve been let off leash. Paul and Lucie also follow the guidelines of safety where each dog is harnessed while in the vehicle. Highly recommend if you need a dog walker. I also wanted to add that Lucie and Paul are “CERTIFIED” with First Aid training for dogs. This gives assurance that your pet is in good hands.

I highly recommend Lucie! She has been walking my 2 dogs for the last year and I’m very glad my dogs and I found her. I have a senior dog and a puppy with full of energy and it’s been tough for me to exhaust one and not do the same with the older one. She has a way of doing both. My puppy comes home well behaved, having expended his tireless energy while my older baby is just happy to be out and about. I wholeheartedly recommend Lucie to every dog owner!

Our dog (Lagotto) Olive has been going on adventures with Lucie's pack each week for over 6 months and we can certainly tell that our dog is having so much fun. It is very evident that Lucie enjoys being around/working with dogs and we are lucky to have been referred to her.

I have been boarding my 3yo GSD with lots of anxiety with Good Hound Country since the start of the year. Boarded 3-4 times and am super happy I found their services. I was very worried since my regular boarder became a new parent and ended their boarding business, but thankfully I have found very reliable boarding services at Good Hounds. Its very easy to use their portal to make bookings online, and I love how they share updates on Insta throught the stay and also very accessible on gmail. Friendly, professional service and very attentive to detailed needs of the dog. I would most highly recommend, especially for German Shepherds (difficut breed to board due to their anxiety). My Rufus is always back home from boarding healthy, happy and smelling fresh 😊

We started taking our now 7-month old puppy to Good Hound in the summer shortly after we adopted him, and we could not be happier! We did a couple of socialization classes and one private training session, and are now putting Gunner in regular daycare. He just came back after a month away and could barely contain himself from the car to the daycare facility. The staff are knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and so easy to work with. I've owned dogs in Ladner since 2006, and am so glad that we have this gem available to us.

Good Hound Country might be a good place to play, but not so good for a long stay. We had to board our dog for 18 days. Normally, we have our adult kids care for our dog when my wife and I go away. However, since the whole family went on this long trip, we decided to use a boarding service. We let our dog do a one-night test stay at Good Hound Country, and everything seemed to go well. The photos or videos you see on their Instagram make it look like the dogs play all day. However, when we dropped him off for the long stay, I found out that our dog would be caged alone in a small pen for about 21 hours a day and that he would only be let out about 3-4 times a day to pee/play. Most of the time, during a long stay, the boarded dog is caged alone. I questioned this policy, but they said a dog would get too tired if they go out to play more than this. I regretted the choice, but we were leaving the next day and I could not change boarders on short notice. When I picked up our dog after our trip, they said the stay went well and there were no problems. However, when I loaded him into my vehicle, I noticed open sores on both elbows and an open contusion on his left paw. Good Hound apologized for not reporting the injuries during our trip or upon pickup. They said that the floor in their pens are very abrasive and for some reason dogs during a long stay will refuse to sleep on the provided bed or home blanket, preferring to push away the bed and blanket to sleep directly on the bare floor, which causes rubbing and injuries to the dog's elbows. This has happened to other dogs. They could not explain the contusion injury to the paw. I don't know what the conditions are like in the pens because GH would not let me view the pens before or after the stay. I don't know why my dog would not sleep on his own regular blanket. Perhaps the pens are so stuffy that he preferred the cooler bare floor. Alternatively, the pens may be so cold that he preferred to curl up directly on the bare floor which supposedly has radiant heating. I don't know because Good Hound would not let me in to see for myself. Prior to dropping off, GH made promises to brush my dog's teeth and to bathe him upon pickup. When we got him back, he was filthy. They told me that he was too fearful to have his teeth brushed or to be bathed. Instead, they wiped him down with a disinfectant on his last day so he would not smell. Daily teeth brushing and regular bathing are very routine activities for my dog. If my dog could not trust GH to do either after 18 days, that tells me all I need to know about them. If the occasion arises again in the future, I will find a private dog sitter for a more personal service and experience for my dog. REPLY: I only repeated what was told to me by GH on dropoff/pickup or by their email. I would not have brought in the tooth brush/paste (which GH accepted) if GH did not tell me to do so. The next day, GH sent an email saying that brushing was NOT included. Fine. There was nothing I could do. However, GH now claims they tried to brush my dog's teeth anyways (why would they do this when it was not included?), but blames my dog for jeopardizing the safety of their staff. On pickup, GH told me that my dog got along with the staff and other dogs and that there were no problems, other than allegedly not wanting a bath on his last day because of fear. They did not provide any manager's report, and there was no mention of "resource guarding" as alleged below. Now, GH wants to blame the dog, or the owner for being away too long or for not paying more. GH admitted that there have been incidents of elbow sores with other dogs. GH should warn people or change the flooring. GH should have notified us; we had provided GH with a contact person to take our dog to a vet, if necessary. And GH should have reported the injuries on pickup instead of hoping we would not notice. Before you decide to use GH for a long stay, just ask them how many hours your dog will be caged during 24 hours and if there are any known risk of injury.

Good Hound Country has a thoughtful approach to boarding to ensure maximum comfort and mitigation of stress for your pups. I have a reactive dog and they were very receptive to all of her needs. Even if I forgot to tell them about something and followed up, they were welcoming of my input/update and they truly want wants best for your dog. They post regular photos of the pets which helps for peace of mind while you're away. I've done tons of research and there's no where that competes in the Lower Mainland - genuinely a team you can trust leaving your fuzzy family members with and ensure your pet will come home happy. Love Shannon & Leika :)

we bring our crazy lady Riley to Good Hound Country every Thursday for daycare. she always gets a good run to expend all her pent up energy and just loves all the interaction she gets from the staff and the other pups. love how Good Hound posts pics on IG so you can occasionally see your pup having fun throughout the day. we have also worked with Andrew in private training sessions and he always provides great insight. we highly recommend Good Hound’s services whether for daycare, overnight boarding or training sessions!

Our pup Nina loves GH Country and all the people that work there! She attends daycare weekly and boards with them when we go away. She is always happy to arrive!! She is a unique character and I'm so grateful to have found a place for her at GH. I never hesitate to recommend them and I am always ok with leaving Nina in their care while we travel. She has a great time!

Our four year old husky attends Good Hound Country daycare three days a week and she absolutely loves it. They care for her like she was her own dog and we have been consistently impressed with the level of care they give all dogs in their daycare. Good Hound staff are highly trained and really care about all dogs in the daycare. They offer an excellent balance of structure and free play and know the importance of allowing dogs down time, as well. All of the Good Hound services are amazing -our other dog attends Downtown and receives the same amazing care. When your dog goes to either location, they and your family become part of the Good Hound family. I can not recommend them enough.

Amazing family-run facility! We've done group classes and one-on-one training as well as boarding our loveable-but-crazy Dobermoose with Goodhound. The dogs are treated like family while boarding at GH Country - with a combination of structure, playtime, personal attention, quiet time, and butt scratches :) tailored to each dog. Highly recommended!

Staff are always friendly and have been dropping off Dixie here for a while. They have a wide variety of services and are for sure extremely knowledgeable. Our dog waits at the door to go every morning!

Best kennel our dog has ever stayed at. He comes out happy, healthy and clean every time. Owners give dogs a lot of care and attention. Would highly recommend.

Roxie & Daisy absolutely love staying with Dónal and for once in their time at daycares or boarding, they get so excited when we arrive. Loads of photo updates while I’m away and just the most care for them both. They love all the walks, cuddles, and play they get here.

Highly recommend! Responsible, caring and professional.

Thanks Eamon! Your dogs are welcome back any time! The space here definitely cuts down on their reactivity, it’s perfect for them. See you soon!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My dog is quite shy around new people, so we were apprehensive about leaving him with a boarding service. I was especially concerned he might not get along with the other dogs there. However, during his stay, it was amazing to see how well he interacted with the other dogs, went for walks, and even visited the dog park together. I think Benson truly loves dogs, and maybe my dog could sense that. He looked so happy, which made me really happy too. I definitely plan to use this service often in the future, and I highly recommend it to others.

Benson has been my sitter for my dog Ripley for over two years. He's reliable and very flexible. He always takes good care of her when I have to do work abroad. Now that I'm moving, Ripley and I will miss Benson.

Benson did a great job taking care of our dogs Birdie and Ozzy. Lots of play and care for them. They came home to us calm and happy :)

Benson is a very nice and friendly person, both with pets and people. He‘s so nice with pets, very attentive and patient, so this must be a very good place to board pets!

very responsible and care

Benson is super patient, careful and responsible. I recommend giving it a try.

This is my first time ever traveling abroad with my furry friend Pia. When l got to Canada, I needed to find a day care for Pia due to some unforeseen circumstances. The owner of this establishment answered my call quickly and was able to provide amazing support and empathy towards my situation. Her and the staff were able to provide a place for her to comfortably play and relax with other furry friends! She was extremely understanding, helpful, friendly, and kind. You can tell that she is passionate about her work and loves taking care of all the furry friends that she encounters. This made traveling with Pia less stressful for me. Whenever I travel to BC in the future, I know that this will be the place that I will always seek doggy day care from! Pia and I had an amazing time and I will be forever grateful for this company’s time, dedication, and love for the doggies! Also here is Pia’s instagram: @piathebowleggedbeauty

The Woofer Walkers did a great job taking care of my dog Kiwi, 5 years old shiba inu. It was a week long stay and I can't thank Bella and Justin enough. Will definitely recommend them and will continue to use their services. If you're looking for truly welcoming secure home away from home for your pup, they're the place to go. Thank you again, The Woofer Walkers.

Cann't say how grateful I am. Woofer Walkers helped day care our dog in a very urgent request. All of the staffs are sweet and kind. My dog really enjoy staying there.

After being suggested that we try another dog daycare, we stumbled across the Woofer Walkers in Richmond! After a couple of suggested day-trial runs we dropped our pup off for a week while we went away to Alberta for the week. A couple hours in we get the text that the pup is a flight risk since we packed our bags in front of & all dropped her off as we were leaving the city - bog mistake. Well apparently after a calming bath and some cuddles, she settled in really fast at WW's. Woofer Bella was so good to alleviate our anxieties of this experience by sending us clips of our pup playing, sleeping, enjoying the other dogs' company which put us immediately at ease. There was also the Youtube channel that we watched each day watching our pup and the love that the other woofers gave to the dogs. It was a busy place but we really liked how they split some of the dogs up but also allowed play amongst little & big dogs. Different areas like water area, rest area and the running around area was a hit for the pup. Just enough variation in her day to keep her busy and playing at the same time. Since the successful week, we have gone back for daycare and have referred several others who all seem to enjoy it. Our pup is leaping out of the car and can't wait to get into the WW compound. Totally recommended!

Woofer walker is the best dog day care in Richmond. I had use their services in the past many times and I am a very happy and satisfied fur parent. They are unique in so many ways when it comes to pet care. They do not put dogs in kennel or secluded place but dog are allowed to be wherever they feel comfortable. My Zoey has separation anxiety but Bella and her team are so good at taking care of her. I love it when I can see my baby photos and videos at the end of the day. They are an amazing group of people who love animals. They also rescue so many dogs. Thank you Woofer walker team with my whole heart ❤️.

Absolutely amazing! Bella and the entire team is just incredible with dogs of all sorts. Our dog has a physical disability and they were completely understanding and reassuring of his needs. We were gone for ~3 weeks and during that entire time we were able to keep an eye on him through the videos of all the dogs playing uploaded daily. Their location as well is a giant dog playground! Plenty of room for all the dogs to run around and be with their packs. Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in need of dog sitting / daycare!

Vader had been at WW for half daycare, full daycare and whole weeks of vacation. All the staff are so caring and kind. Hanna, Jasobel, Justin, Calum and rest of staff know all the dogs by name, treat them like their fam and post the best videos to keep you connected with your beloved dogs. I have tried four other doggy day cares in Vancouver and Richmond and would recommend WW leaps and barks beyond others. Their non-kennel and open yard/open house concept is the most humane for our doggy. Thank you!

My dog boarded at Woofer Walkers for three nights and I was so impressed by the level of care and experience provided by Jezebel, Justin and team. My dog was warmly welcomed and accepted, and had the best time playing with the staff and other woofers. The owners went above and beyond to make sure I knew my dog was safe, loved and having fun via text messages, pictures, videos and YouTube uploads throughout his stay. I'm so grateful that I get to enjoy my time away while having the assurance that he is being well taken care of. I highly recommend Woofer Walkers and their wonderful team!

The woofer walkers, dog daycare rescue, and spa is the only place that my great Dane goes. I trust the owners so much they love animals they give you updates at the end of each day. They post pictures of your pet hanging out with other woofers with her dogs, I have been so happy with them. I’ve been with woofer Walkers almost 3 years now I would never go to anybody else. They’re very caring and they totally adore my great Dane and they do go to pick her up for me because I am unable sometimes to take her there right now due to Disability, check them out, you will not be disappointed

We’ve been bringing our 1.5 yr old pup here roughly once a week since July and they’re amazing! I had an orientation hour when we first started where Kairo got to run around and I could ask questions and see how he interacted with the other dogs. Since then, he’s had so much fun! Kairo has also spent a few vacations at the Woofer Walkers and has the bestest time. Scheduling is easy and communication is great. They post videos and upload pictures daily so you can see what your dog got up to during the day. I wholeheartedly trust the Woofer Walkers with my son any day :)

My 4 year old beagle, Riley, absolutely LOVED his time with Justine! Her daily updates made us feel comforted while we were away on vacation. It was great to know that Riley was having fun with the change of environment and new sites for him to smell. Justine took Riley on nice long walks and he made new friends with other dogs she was looking after. Justine understands dogs and has a gentle disposition about her that makes other dogs feel comfortable -- like a real life dog whisperer! Her active lifestyle and pure joy derived from being with other canines should make any fur parent feel safe and at ease when under Justine's care. Riley certainly misses his time with her and I'm sure he can't wait until we go on vacation again!! hehe

Absolutely amazing. Our 15 month old labradoodle was very well taken care of - walks, hikes, games, etc. We were sent pictures and videos of him while he was there so the kids wouldn’t miss him too much. Justine was very flexible and accommodating when we were late returning home. She is at the top of my list to call for future doggy care.

I’ve had Justine take care of my year and half old puggle Auston on multiple occasions. She is very professional, and her care/love for Auston is obvious. Not to mention Auston loves his stays with her as well! I feel extremely comfortable leaving Auston with Justine and would recommend her services to anyone! Thanks!

Justine is amazing with my dogs ! We are so lucky to found her . She kept us updated everyday with cute picture . She’s also an amazing person so it made the experience even better !!! She’s the best and my dog Coco & Mochi misses her and love her so much.

Starting a new business is always a huge task and everyone thinks they can do it on their own. The reality is you need someone like Justine!! She helped take my business from thought starter to reality. It really was about the little details, and the she would not just accept “close enough”. She is capable of dealing with the small details (the things people don’t like doing), to big items that are stressful and take a lot of preciseness. If you’re thinking of starting your business or even just getting it another kick start, make sure to call her…. You’ll never regret it!!

Professional level of service delivered with a friendly approach.
