Saanich Sniffaris Your pups next big adventure starts here!

🌲 Tail-waggin’ pack walks, hikes & private walks
🏡 Boarding, house-sitting & drop-ins
🐾 Doggy daycare

Saanich Sniffaris was born from our shared love for dogs and the outdoors. As lifelong dog lovers and avid adventurers, we wanted to create something that goes beyond a typical walk — a way for pups to explore, thrive, and feel truly cared for. We’re Gabrielle and Adam, and together with our dog River, we’ve explored countless trails, beaches, and parks around Saanich and beyond. We know how impor

tant it is for dogs to engage their senses, release energy, and feel connected — not just to nature, but to the people and pups around them. That’s why we started Saanich Sniffaris: to give dogs the opportunity to experience the kind of care and adventure that leaves them fulfilled and happy. From adventure hikes and pack walks to boarding, house sitting, and daycare, we offer a range of services designed to fit your pup’s needs and lifestyle. Whether they’re joining us for a trail adventure or feeling safe and comfortable with us at home while you’re away, we treat every dog like part of the family — because that’s exactly what they are.

Pack walk day = tails wagging, noses working, and social skills sharpening!

Every week, our Sniffari crew explores local trails together. Giving your dog the perfect mix of structured exercise, gentle socialization and mental enrichment.

From shy pups building confidence to seasoned sniffers who love the routine, pack walks are one of the most beneficial (and fun!) things you can give your dog.

What’s a Sniffari Pack Walk?

✔️ 60–90 minutes on local trails
✔️ Pick-up & drop-off included
✔️ Leashed, small-group setting
✔️ For social, trail-savvy dogs
✔️ Led by experienced, certified dog handlers

At the heart of it all? Meaningful socialization and mental stimulation.

Having a backyard is great, but dogs need more than space. They need connection, variety, and real-world experiences to stay balanced and fulfilled.

On our walks, dogs get the chance to move their bodies, make friends, and engage with the environment around them. All in a calm, structured setting that supports both their physical and emotional well-being.

We’re here to help your dog thrive through routine, enrichment, and safe social interaction with their pack. 🐾

Those squishy wrinkles 😍 Violet was an absolute dream to house sit — gentle, easygoing, such a sweetest. Happiest hanging out in her yard, playing with her ball or snuggling up close to you. We loved spending a few days in her world.

Welcoming Bo & Laika to the Saanich Sniffaris family! House-sitting these two was such a joy. Living their best lives on a 2.5-acre farm, they have endless space to roam, play, and take in the fresh air. From quiet moments in the sun to exploring every inch of their home turf, and lots of bedtime snuggles — it was so special caring for them while their humans were away.

House-sitting allows pets to stay in their familiar space and routines, while still receiving all the love, attention, and exercise they need. If you’re looking for reliable, in-home care for your pets, head to our website to book your free meet & greet! Link in bio 🔗

Meet Bingo! This sweet boy spends his weekdays with us for doggy daycare, and having him as part of our pack has been such a joy. This little guy came to Canada last fall after being rescued from South Korea, and despite a rough start, he’s the sweetest, happiest pup who just wants love and attention.

He’s settling into his new life so well, and it’s been amazing to watch him grow more confident every day. Whether he’s trotting along on his walks, soaking up the sunshine, or curling up for some snuggles, Bingo brings so much happiness. Looking forward to many more days with this special boy!
