Sandi Stevens, the owner of Sasper Pet Care, is one of the newest members of the DogAboutTown.ca Business Community who is happy to offer 10% savings on any of her services to all DogAboutTown.ca members.

She specializes in boarding your best friend at her home, and also offers in client’s home pet visits and pet sitting in the Victoria, North and Central Saanich and Sidney areas.

Sandi’s two Springer Spaniels, Sasha and Jasper, who sadly passed away in 2007 were her inspiration for beginning a journey of providing loving pet care to others, and as a wonderful tribute to her beloved Spaniels, Sasper Pet Care was born.

Now Sandi passes on her loving care and devotion as a “nanny” to other peoples’ beloved pets and although she prefers to board at her own home, she also provides home visits and occasional pet and house sitting services.

As well, you’ll find that Sandi’s rates are very reasonable, and flexible too, being anywhere from $18 to $35 daily, depending on particular circumstances, the type of service required and the length of stay.

It’s obvious when speaking with Sandi that she truly loves her role as “nanny” to her 4-legged charges, which come in all sizes and shapes, and that she will truly love your pets while you’re away.

I listen to Jack FM tunes with my human, Brian

It’s not just that they look cool and make us humans laugh, they actually fulfill a very useful purpose, because dogs get cataracts, too and we all know that sun exposure can be a contributing factor to failing sight in old age.

Doggles™ protect the eyes from dirt, dust, wind, grass seeds, trauma, glare and sun sensitivity all while providing UVA and UVB protection. And the best part is that you can drink from a sprinkler without getting water in your eyes!

Boris has been wearing his signature yellow Doggles™ for over three years and besides giving out loud belly laughs to countless humans, the number one question we’ve been asked hundreds of times is “how does he keep them on?” Usually we just say “staples” or “crazy glue” and then after it sinks in that we’re kidding, we show the interested human the simple, yet ingenious system for keeping them on.

Where can you buy Doggles™ in Victoria? There are quite a number of pet stores that carry them, including High End Dog, Pet’s Choice, and Island Pet Source.

Boris is really excited because he’s been looking for a new red pair for ages and he found them today at Island Pet Source who look like they’ve cornered the Doggles™ market as they just received a huge new shipment with great selection that’s going fast. Not only are the Doggles™ much more reasonably priced at Island Pet Source than at other stores who usually only get a few in as novelty items, if you’re a DogAboutTown.ca member, you also receive 15% off!

If you want to get some Doggles™ for your best friend, tell ‘em Boris sent you!

Thanks to Doggles™ we suspect that Boris will have great eyes well into old age.

Boris riding a Jim Pattison Harley

When you’re in the market for a really great pre-owned vehicle, you really need to go see Mike at Jim Pattison cars unlimited!

Not only will you receive fantastic service, but they are very generous to DogAboutTown.ca members who show their cards because they will give a $500. savings or if you are buying a vehicle that’s already marked down, they will give you a $200. gas card! Tell Mike that Boris sent you….Vroom, Vroom!

Dogs have a howling good time with Gwen!

Gwen offers her clients walks, hikes, home visits for owners on vacation or away on business (both dogs and cats), stay n’ play and pet taxi.

Gwen has always had dogs in her life, and after working many years with her husband in their home based masonry business, decided she wanted a business that holds a very special place in her heart.

Gwen comes from a strong managerial and professional administrative background where she enjoyed working with people, and is very excited to have found the perfect career outlet where she can combine all her valuable life skills with her love of dogs and the outdoors.

“I’ve always enjoyed people, but I like dogs more.”

Gwen is “DogSafe” first aid certified and insured, and with the launch of “Come Walk With Me” in June 2009 Gwen is offering reliable, premiere service to dogs lucky enough to find themselves in her care.

“‘Won’t be long’ means nothing to a dog.
All he knows is that you are GONE.” – Jane Swan
