Client Love
Marybeth and the entire Puppy Time Vancouver team have been absolutely amazing. They've been providing in-home daycare for my dog, Lil Snoop, for almost a year now, and we truly couldn't ask for better care. Snoop gets plenty of exercise with regular walks and has so much fun playing throughout the day. He's always excited to see them in the morning, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he is in their care.
What really sets them apart is how attentive, reliable, and flexible they are. It always gave me complete peace of mind knowing Snoop is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying his time. The in-home environment makes such a difference, and you can tell they treat every dog like their own.
We're so grateful to have found them and would highly recommend Puppy Time Vancouver to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving daycare provider.
Julia B.Lil Snoop · in-home daycare, almost a yearGoogle reviewMarybeth was absolutely amazing with our dog, Happy! She stayed with her at our hotel while we were out for the evening and made sure Happy felt calm, safe, and loved the entire time. She took Happy on multiple walks and sent us photos, videos, and thoughtful updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear how experienced, kind, and attentive she is, and Happy seemed so content and comfortable with her.
The booking process was smooth and easy, even on short notice. We are so grateful to have found Puppy Time Vancouver and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care in Vancouver. We will definitely reach out again next time we are in town!
Elham Z.Happy · hotel pet sittingGoogle reviewI love my dog but she is not a happy-go-lucky lab excited to meet everyone she meets; Barbie is a rescue who can be quite fearful of strangers coming into her personal space. Even a year into their relationship, Barbie still occasionally gets fearful of Marybeth taking her out and even though I'm sure that can be disheartening at times, Marybeth has been nothing but patient with Barbie. She's always checking in to see if Barbie's had any triggers recently or what she can do to help. Beyond her commitment to my dog, Marybeth is always easy to reach, lovely, and responsible. I trust her not only with my dog but also with the key to my house!
Sarah M.Barbie · fearful rescue, regular walksClient reviewMy partner and I took a roadtrip from Los Angeles up to Vancouver with our dog, Buster. We needed a dog-sitter for a few hours over 2 days and as many pet parents can relate, finding the right person who can care for your pet can be difficult. When Buster met Marybeth, Buster found a new best friend!
Marybeth was very responsive, communicative, kind and thoughtful. If we're back up to Vancouver we'll definitely call her again!
Jason L.Buster · visiting from Los AngelesGoogle reviewLast minute find in Vancouver. Travelled with our two pups and they kept barking so we called to inquire for someone to watch them. Marybeth was easy to deal with and very accommodating. Registration form was straight forward and simple to fill out. [Puppy Time] was assigned to watch our pups. She kept us updated during our time out. Our place was left in the same condition as we left it. Would use service again.
Victoria L.Charlie and Appa · last minute bookingGoogle reviewWe had a great experience with this service. We were coming from Seattle and both Marybeth and [Puppy Time] were very courteous, flexible and helpful. [Puppy Time] stayed with our pups while we went out for a lunch and it all worked out great. We will be using their service every time we visit Vancouver!
Srujan B.Noorie and Nisha · visiting from SeattleGoogle reviewStayed at the dog-friendly Westin Bayshore. Marybeth, who lives virtually next door, looked after Sammy at the hotel while my wife and I went to dinner. The evening went very well. Sammy says Marybeth did an excellent job.
Brent Q.Sammy · Westin BayshoreClient reviewMarybeth has been nothing but wonderful with my little cavi Emmy. From the very beginning since she started taking Emmy out for walks it's been very easy to communicate with her and she has been always very flexible when last minute changes happened. It's hard to find someone who I can trust with my little girl but Marybeth makes it very easy and I know I can rely on her when she is with Emmy.
Kristyna B.Emmy · regular dog walkingGoogle reviewWe've been clients for three years and would never go elsewhere! Stanley is so well cared for when we are away. We can enjoy our time without worrying. We always return to a happy and healthy dog. Totally recommend this service.
Gail H.Stanley · long-time clientGoogle reviewWe wouldn't have anyone else look after Stanley! We love the daily updates. It's so reassuring to know he is happy and healthy and our home is well looked after.
Gail H.Stanley · a later stayClient reviewMarybeth was extremely professional in her care for my dog Mabel and my cat Ochi. From the start she went above and beyond, she came by several times before the actual dog sitting to connect with me and my pets and to ensure a smooth transition during my two week absence. To say my dog loved her is an understatement. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thanks Marybeth!
Anita R.Mabel and Ochi · two week stayClient reviewMarybeth was amazing with my 2 big dogs!! Walking my rescue dog can be a challenge but she handled her reactivities calmly and appropriately. Thank you so much Marybeth! I was actually able to enjoy my time away knowing my dogs were with you.
Krista G.Two big dogs, one reactive rescueClient reviewI had to travel to Vancouver for a work conference in June 2023 and was worried about leaving my 10 month old puppy, Cooper, with a stranger for two days. It turns out I had nothing to worry about!
Marybeth, at Puppy Time Vancouver, was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She replied promptly to my initial inquiry and set up a Zoom meet and greet within a week. She came right to my hotel room to look after Cooper while I was in conference. She arrived early both days and sent a text message to let me know she was on her way. Throughout the day, she sent text messages and photos and video clips, letting me know that Cooper was doing well.
I found Marybeth to be very professional and conscientious. She laid out her services very well so I knew what to expect and didn't have any surprises. Overall, a great experience for both me and my puppy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marybeth to anyone looking for pet sitting in Vancouver!
Colleen C.Cooper · hotel sitting during a conferenceGoogle reviewMarybeth has been walking Max a few times a week for almost a month now. She is extremely easy to communicate with, reliable and super accommodating. I was really hesitant to let go ‘of the leash’ but am glad I finally did because we're all better for it. I completely trust that Max is in good hands when he's in her care. Plus her videos are awesome. Max says five paws up.
Jenny H.Max · regular dog walkingClient reviewMarybeth was punctual and excellent with my older dog. Allowed us to have a date night out! Highly recommend.
Elena C.Jofi · senior dog, evening sitGoogle reviewMarybeth is friendly, professional, and capable. The critters (1 dog, 2 cats) took to her right away and were thrilled to see her again on her second stay. She navigated all the quirks of my old house with no problem. I'd book her again in a heartbeat!
Sheila C.One dog, two cats · repeat stayClient reviewMarybeth is once again AMAZING. From photos and videos while I was away, to an impeccable home when I returned, I can't say enough about Marybeth. I always worry about my little Max when I'm away (fur baby Mom over here!) and I have never felt so relaxed when leaving him with a pet sitter. Thank you, Marybeth!
Nicole V.Max · repeat clientClient reviewMarybeth was great with our pups! We were away over Christmas and she was able to come and keep our two dogs company and take care of them. She gave us some great photos to say hi while we were away, and our place was left very clean and tidy when we returned. I would definitely recommend Marybeth, and would ask her to watch them again in the future.
Meaghan W.Two dogs · Christmas stayClient reviewMarybeth took such great care of our pup while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos so we knew how he was doing. I felt completely sure he was in great hands the entire time we were gone. Thanks Marybeth!
Katie S.Pet sitting while awayClient reviewGemma loved her at first sight, she will be my to go girl.
Mit R.GemmaClient reviewI had the pleasure of meeting Marybeth when looking for alternative therapies for my abused and subsequently aggressive dog. Marybeth took the time to meet to first evaluate myself and my dog. She took an in depth consideration to our collective experiences, as navigated to that point in time. Marybeth was always considerate of my dog's specific traumas and my own as a desperate owner trying any and all avenues to help. In conjunction with additional therapies, I do feel our experience with Marybeth has contributed to a calmer dog. I couldn't be more thankful.
