The care Susan gave Molly my dog was exceptional. She was so patient with both Molly and me constantly worry texting! She went above and beyond to make sure I felt Molly was safe, happy and being well cared for. Molly is a sensitive dog and it took her some time to settle in Susan gave her the extra care and love needed until she relaxed.

The attention to detail and sincere care have been unparalleled. Having to leave your fur baby for travel can be difficult, but LOAL makes it easy. We are very fortunate to have LOAL in Vancouver!

But Hannah loves her too and looks forward to her daily walks (pretty good for a lazy pug). Ashley has introduced Hannah to walking with other dogs making her more social and much better on leash as well! The best part though is that she is no longer a chubby lil' pug, Hannah has lost weight, has a waistline and is a much healthier happy dog....I also love that compared to other dog walkers I have seen picking up and dropping off dogs I know that Ashley would never leave my dog unattended and tied up outside....very important for me to know and trust someone so much! I have also, used Tails to Scales for taking care of my fur kids when I go away and Ashley has always done a great job with my pets, including my senior citizen kitty who is diabetic requiring dailt insulin shots as well as three other medications (high maintenance) Thanks snort...grunt

If I could trust anyone with my dog it would be these lovely ladies. They are amazing and treat my…read moredog like one of their own. On his walks he gets daily report cards, pictures and updates. They also pay special attention to anything that may be a little different (example.... he seems to be peeing more than usual, or we're worried his hearing might be getting a little bad) All which allows all of us to keep an eye out for these things. He has sleep overs at their house regularly and he loves it there. He is spoiled by them. We (as a family and as dog owners) are so grateful to them as they have enriched our dog's life and ours as well.

Figs is high energy and a bit rambunctious, and he has a great time running around in the big yard with other dogs like him.

Great facility, easy online booking, would recommend to any dog.

We would have been gone for over 12 hours and that is not okay with us. Our boy is very special to us! I went on Yelp and found Kathryn. She met my dog and me that day and was truly wonderful. Our boy loved her instantly. I even got to meet some of the other dogs that she walks and they were very happy to be with her. She walked our dog for us the next day while we were skiing. It was such a relief having someone as kind as Kathryn to help us out. She even gave me advice on where to go and what to see in the city. She's a lovely person and is excellent with animals. A+!

Absolutely wonderful people who organize dog-boarding and specialize in dogs who have diverse and…read moreunique needs. My dog is reactive and can't be around many other dogs or too many new people at a time and the boarder Briana was a perfect match for Chewie. The organizer April is incredible with dogs, very smart and skilled in terms of behaviour and positive reinforcement for dogs, and has helped me learn so much about my dog over the past few months. Highly recommend for dog boarding and general dog wisdom and companionship!

If I have to go away for a few days, I can't leave my dog with just anyone. While Sally is a…read moresweetheart inside the house, she's always looking for trouble outside, and can be especially reactive with other dogs. I need to know that the person who cares for my dog can handle my lil firecracker and prevent trouble from happening. My good friend who lives across the street is such a person, but more than a couple of days of dogsitting is kind of an imposition for a friend. I definitely did not want to send my large, energetic dog to a kennel (aka doggy jail). Bronte Pet Services to the rescue! I found them through a link on the website of the also-awesome Dizine Canine training centre. These wonderful people, April and Lauren and their team of petsitters, specialize in and even enjoy working with challenging dogs. They are also involved with HugABull rescue and are well-trained and experienced in reactive dog handling. We exchanged a few emails, and a couple of days before the trip, April, who would be sitting for us (the sitter she initially matched us with had to cancel) and another Lauren, who would providing some relief, came over for a home visit and to get the keys and contracts, etc. Sally loved them right away (cookies!), and when we left for the trip, we felt assured she - and the house - was in good hands. Knowing my dog, I had some lingering worries, but the first progress report email dispelled them completely. Throughout the trip, April sent us emails and pictures regularly to update us on how things were going. They would generally stay overnight and give her morning and evening walks and feeding. I'm also super happy with all extras April brought to the arrangement. She brought over her own doggy puzzle toys for Sally to solve to get her dinner - and who doesn't like to be told their dog is smart enough to solve the hardest ones with ease? She also introduced us to using a body halter, rather than the head halter I had been using, and even lent me one to try out after we got back. And she definitely wore my dog out with lots of interesting walks and "urban agility" exercises in the park nearby. They take care of all kinds of pets, but I love that they love taking care of even the more challenging (difficult, smart, energetic) animals. And I love that, since finding Bronte Pet Services, I feel like maybe I can now take a vacation once in a while!

Brandi fit us in pretty much immediately as well as slowly introduced Riley (he can be overly excited meeting new people and dogs) to the rest of her pack. She is very accommodating of our schedule.

I cannot recommend Brandi highly enough for any dogs needs.
