A few months ago we met Big Mike and Joyce and they came highly recommended online from a pal. They came over and met us and we went for a family walk together with the big guy. Instantly he took to them and they loved him. We really connected and it was a match on all fronts. We travel a ton, we work a lot out of town. It's hard with a French Mastif like Thor. He's so spoilt and a senior at 7. He needs a lot of attention and lots of rubbing and loving and care. Mastiffs are like that, super sensitive and always on you. He's very playful and full of spunk for his age ya gotta love him. Anyways, they have stayed twice since and Thor's face is priceless man! He looks happy and so relaxed honestly. I gotta say it really makes our coming home a wonderful experience when we open the door and see him like that. Mike and Joyce and animal experts. They bing a massive gambit of proven methods that work for each case. They are great listeners and on top of following our rules of the house and dealing with Thor, they teach us a few things along the way. Immeasurable in terms of hiring a REAL PRO. All we can say is this is a dog town and ironically it's so hard to find the right person to house sit your pet. Just trust in them and enjoy their services. Wonderful rates and a class act house guest. THOR CANT WAIT TO SEE HIS PALS AGAIN! Xo Dman, Cene and Thor

They have a shuttle service from Horseshoe Bay from Vancouver pets coming to Nopawblems Care, so book early always! The best is worth it.

She's highly sensitive husky mix. It took a few visits. We got to a weekend, a week and one ten day stay. When the last thing you want to worry about on vacation, on a tight budget, is your dogs well-being ... I trust Nopawblems. She's is a little highly stimulated each time. She prefers home. But she's not upset or frightened. I am secure with my choice. If anything comes up she is in the best hands.

I took one of my young dogs to a session with Joyce for help with his aggressive behaviour. I had sought help previously from a series of recommended trainers and vets. In one session,Joyce provided me more help than all the others combined. One of my very old ( 16+) dogs refused to eat one day. Realizing that this was not normal for him, and knowing his age, and after trying unsuccessfully to reach me, they took him into their home and sat with him. He passed away peacefully in a few hours, in the company of loving humans. After speaking to me, they took him to a local vet and had him cremated and gave me the ashes. It was a hard sad time, and I cannot imagine a better way to end a long life. This is absolutely the best place for a dog to be. The only drawback is that they are so good- and it is not easy to get a space.

We have three rescued cats--one boy and two girls--and they are extremely shy, especially the…read moregirls. Their instinct is to run and hide whenever they hear someone at the door. We always worried about leaving them, not knowing if they would come out to eat. It made traveling very stressful. This was our second time with Selma (the first was a 5-day trial), and we left for 18 days. Honestly, we never imagined this would happen--our cats gradually came out to see her and even finished their food before she left. Our boy, Wally, even welcomed her at the door. Selma made the impossible possible. Thanks to her patience and deep understanding of cats, we now feel free to travel with peace of mind. We highly recommend Selma as a cat nanny. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for. Jessie and Kevin

Her daily rates are very reasonable considering the level of difficulty she deals with for our cat...(Miss Cleo), she's pretty mean, swats, hisses, etc. When we were still asking friends & family to help us, our cat was so stressed out by the time we'd get home. But now, even though she's so tough to handle, Noelle still brings her so much great care and sweetness. When we get home, our house is clean, the kitty litter is immaculate and our cat is groomed and happy! Noelle is more than a petsitter, she's a new friend for your little furry loved ones (sorry that's cheezy but it's SO true!!) :)

I worked here for a few months semi- recently. As someone who worked there, I can confidently say…read morethat they do not take as good care of the dogs as they say. The owner is rude to her employees, and they use methods such as shaking change in metal jars directly in the dog's ears until they are scared of the workers as a way to make them stop barking. They will also yell very, very harshly at them almost constantly. The reason why I don't work there is because I refused to take part in that. They will also put up to 25 dogs of all sizes and temperaments in one van for the daily beach walk, which exceeds the legal limit and results in the dogs getting in fights with each other. Again, as someone who worked there, please do not leave your beloved animal there. Your dog will be sad all day and will not get enough attention nor be treated appropriately. At first glance, it seems like a great environment, hence why I worked there. But your dog will only be let out once, and in the group photos they send, it's likely your dog won't even be in the picture. They use very outdated training methods, and it was incredibly hard for me to work there. Leaving your dog there is the equivalent of leaving your dog at an animal shelter.
