What People Are Saying About Walks 'N' Wags

My mom is the only one I have trusted to look after Fred & Kirby for 10 years, until both mom & I were going on a trip. Lisa was referred to me and now I don't think twice about having her look after my two girls (and now the new dog!!)! They just loved her and were a little put out when I came home!! Thanks, Lisa, for watching over my babies!

You may not be able to tell from just looking at us, but we BOTH have special needs. While our mom doesn't like to leave us alone for too long, she knows that we will be in good hands with Walks 'N' Wags. Lisa has been coming to take care of us for over two years now. She gives us lots of attention and brings us treats. Although we may not like it when our mom is gone, we at least get to stay in our own home, play with our own toys, and sleep in all our favourite spots (even the ones we aren't supposed to sleep in). We certainly appreciate all that Walks 'N' Wags has done for us over the years. Thank you so much.

When I am travelling or away for a full day sailing or visiting, I have used Walks 'N' Wags' services. Whether Lisa or one of her walkers comes, we can go for our break happy in the knowledge that the dogs have been walked and then put in the house for the evening after being fed. If we are travelling then we have a house sitter stay here and also have Walks 'N' Wags come in to help with the dogs. We feel assured that the dogs are receiving their daily walk in a safe and happy manner. We have been very pleased with Lisa's services at Walks 'N' Wags.

As a reporter for CBC Radio I have to travel a lot, and often with very little notice. It has been a huge relief to me (and my cats) to know that I can call Lisa and know that she will come to the rescue. The most horrific instance came last January when I got a phone call on a Saturday afternoon and was told there had been an avalanche in Revelstoke and several young teenagers were missing. I had a 1/2 hour to get to the airport to catch a charter plane. As we sat on the runway, I suddenly realized I had made no arrangements for Sam, Murray and JD. I left a panicked message on Lisa's answering machine. By the time we landed, there was a message on my cell - Lisa saying don't worry, she'd look after them and just to call when I got back. What a relief. And I know my cats adore her and her staff - they always just glance at me when I come home - no loneliness or missing me at all! Then there's the other story where poor Lisa went above and beyond the call of duty. I was in Halifax and a friend was staying in my condo over the holidays. She dropped my keys down a sewer grate, and called me in a panic. All I could think of was my cats wondering why no one was arriving to feed them (and they love their food!) I told my friend to call Lisa and explain the situation - I called Lisa to confirm what was happening. She met my friend at my door and handed over her set of keys. It was then I though "hmmmm, my cat sitter is more reliable than one of my dearest friends!"

Lisa and the gang at "Walks 'N' Wags" have been very instrumental in helping me rehabilitate my nervous and occasionally dominant dog. Charli has now graduated from one on one walks to group walks and even gets to play off-leash with her new canine pals. It's so nice to know that she's handled by people who understand her lack of "sandbox skills" and who still love her anyways!!! Thanks guys!!

For over 2 years, you and your team of animal experts have come to visit our funny cat "Chico". We are very attached to him and he is likewise, attached to us. Since he often tries to get in trouble, we were worried when we embarked on our first long vacation. We tried a lovelycat hotel that had trained staff. Poor Chico did not like being away from his own home and comfy environment. While I am sure cat hotels work for some, Chico is clearly not amused at the prospect of being "inconvenienced". Upon recommendation from our Vet, the next time we tried you! From the first day, you approached Chico with a gentle, patient, non-threatening manner. He took to you right away, sensing no doubt that you were "alright" with him. When we arrived home, Chico was not only healthy, but very happy. He was his usual self and other than wondering was might be in the suitcases for him, he was up to his old tricks. We knew all was well when upon you returning our key, Chico gave you the big roll-over and purr. Your team is discreet, professional, and respectful of our worries. Because our pets are members of our families, it is hard to leave them with those you don't "know". We recommend you to all who are concerned about what to do with their cat when they travel. We thank you for all your help and understanding and hey, it is nice to know someone will put ice cubes in his daily water dish while we are away! What can we say, he likes cold water!!!

Lisa and her gang are GREAT. Recently we needed help when a family member was taken to the hospital. We did not have a walk scheduled for that day. I called and left a message. Lisa called me right back and had arranged for her staffperson Lynn to take him for a private walk after work. It was a relief to know that we could go straight to the hospital and Rebus would still get his walk. I highly recommend Walks 'N' Wags to anyone.

I must say that I have only ever left my cats with family members. And at that, only with the few I feel would care for my kitties as deeply as I do. You were the first non-family member to care for my cats. You definitely experienced my 'worried-mommy' syndrome. Especially after Fluffers passed away and I had to leave Whiskers alone for the first time in her 14 year old life. I must say that after coming home from a weeks vacation, seeing Whiskers' well brushed fur, calm demeaner, and my clean home I was so impressed I have not stopped sharing my pleasurable experience with everyone I know. You have given me peace of mind again and the freedom to travel without worry.

It might seem extravagant - daily walks for my dog in the endowment lands. But, I love to spoil my loved ones and Nabou is the main recipient. Walks n' Wags has changed my (and my dog's life in a tremendously positive way. I know that Nabou will always have an hour of vigorous exercise and socialization with other dogs every day. The best thing about Lisa is her professionalism, reliability and incredibly loving care she provides. I have never felt dissatisfied or questioned the benefit that her services provide for my dog. She knows dogs and therefore treats them with the respect they deserve. How could you not give this dog everything her heart desires.... Many thanks to Lisa and her staff for another great year!!
