She is great about communicating before, during, and after pet sitting. Our pups seemed far less stressed than usual when we were away while with Becky.

She checks in with me (per my request), sends me photos of the cats and gives them lots of attention!

We can't say enough great things about Dee! When we first met her, our puppy, Paxton, was extremely…read morefearful of everything and everyone. Being new to the Vancouver area, we were nervous about finding someone who could help us socialize him and make him feel safe. From day one, Dee's patience, kindness, and understanding stood out. She has an incredible ability to read dogs and work with them at their own pace, never rushing or forcing anything. Her gentle approach allowed Paxton to gain confidence and trust in her, and in turn, the world around him. Dee isn't just a dog walker--she's a compassionate and intuitive dog trainer who truly cares about the animals in her care. Her dedication and love for what she does shine through every interaction. We're so grateful to have found her and couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family members! Thank you, Dee, for everything you've done for Paxton and for us!

I have brought my dogs to Heather for over 13 years, and have appreciated her clear instructions…read moreand the accommodations she's made for me and my dogs for over a decade. We've always been treated well. I have a breed of dog that is difficult to groom, and Heather has always done an outstanding job. The reason I'm posting this is because some of the 1 star reviews (especially recently) are based on inadequate information and a rush to judgment without understanding or caring about mitigating circumstances. I want to fill in some information to address that. Animal grooming is a tough job, hard on the body: hands, arms, back, and feet wear down with repetitive injury, and the groomer may be in physical pain while working. The pain comes and goes, but the damage, especially to hands, arms, and back, is permanent. So being kind and tolerant might work more effectively for the customer rather than playing princess. I am only a customer, not a friend of the owner, but I have witnessed her health challenges while still keeping the shop as available as possible. It is a balancing act, and I admire her persistence in keeping the shop going. Be kind, or at least be curious and open to reason. My current dog loves Pet Spa; it's her happy place.

I was so excited to find a new groomer right by my house but I was so disappointed. Right when I…read moregot there the lady was so rude to me. I said I wanted him "cleaned up" and wanted his hair shorter but not quite shaved. I guess this wasn't enough for her because she insisted that I tell her exactly what I wanted and saying cleaned up means "nothing to her". I showed her a picture of the last time he was groomed and she said "that tells me nothing". Every groomer I've used in the past helps me figure out the best cut, but she was not interested in helping me out at all. Sorry I'm not in the industry and don't know exactly what to ask for. I just felt like such a bother to her. He did end up looking great and it only took them about an hour but I am just too disappointed with how I was treated to go back.
