Vincent has always had two passions in life: art and animals. They grew up always around animals, and have lots of happy memories holding armfuls of kittens and catching frogs out at the family farm every summer. After moving from Saskatchewan to Vancouver in 2019, they started to pursue a career in the film industry as a concept artist. It became clear to Vincent that wasn’t where their heart truly was, and in 2021 they obtained a Pet First Aid certificate, thus kickstarting their petcare career. They didn’t grow up with many dogs, and originally wanted to specialize in exotic pets as they kept fish for several years and currently own a delightful corn snake. But after working with dogs they just fell in love and haven’t looked back. They gained experience at a busy dog daycare/hotel, then worked as a veterinary assistant for several months. They are always happiest when surrounded by lots of sweet doggy faces. Vincent hopes to become a certified dog trainer in the near future, and still continues their art on the side. They are currently completing their Canine First Aid and hopes to begin her CPPDT soon!

Kyra has owned and worked with a variety of animals her entire life – Volunteering at the SPCA, working with the birds of prey at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, and accumulating over 8 years in the pet industry as a working professional. She has worked with almost every type of animal possible, including dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, insects, fish, and birds. To her, variety is the spice of life and she enjoys interacting with all species equally – giving her a special appreciation and dedication to working with animals. When she is not patiently training, walking, and socializing with the dogs at Noelle’s Pet Love, she is running her own Web & Graphic design business and spending quality time with her 2 cats, Bandit and Kahlua. While this keeps her very busy, she always comes into the daycare with a can-do attitude and is ready to get her next dose of “dog energy”.

Sunny’s love for animals started young, growing up with four cats and attending weekly riding lessons for her entire childhood. At the age of four she trustingly wrapped her arms around a horse’s nose for a big hug and her mother knew she had a deep connection to animals. Her biologist parents nurtured her love of nature and all living things, leading her to consider a career within animal care. She worked at a vet clinic in high school as a vet tech, doing the hands on work and providing recovering animals everything they need. In the end she decided to pursue a career in the arts, specializing in photography. Even while focusing on art she never stopped surrounding herself with animals, dog and cat sitting whenever she could. Sunny moved to British Columbia from the Atlantic provinces of Canada for the natural beauty, to be close to family, and the career opportunity. While she is building her portfolio and forging connections for photography, she is happy to get to come to work and see all the puppy smiles every weekday. Her goal is to provide the best care and environment she possibly can for your furry family members utmost comfort.

I started working for Noelle October 2024 and have been loving getting to know all the dogs and clients! I’ve always wanted to work in a doggy daycare and Noelle’s has met all expectations in how rewarding this job is! I’ve been operating a dog walking and pet sitting business back in Ontario for 12 years now and I moved to Vancouver for a new adventure! I’ve grown up with Jack Russell Terriers and have been around dogs all my life. Back in Ontario, in college, I took Animal Care and it was such an enjoyable course learning about nursing, canine behaviour, domestic and exotic animal sciences, and many more incredible classes! Aside from school, I’ve taken numerous courses on behaviour, separation anxiety, resources guarding and lots more.

Dad moved in with Noelle 12 years ago and has been working full time for her ever since. Dad is retired and able to help out lots at the house as well as handling much of the accounting and bookkeeping and pickups/dropoffs. (Dad was an accountant most of his working career). Dad played a very important part in helping encourage Noelle to become an animal lover as he didn’t put up much of a fight when Noelle continuously brought home stray cats and dogs and insisted on starting work at 12 years old so she could afford to buy a horse (with whom she spent most of her days and nights.) Dad encouraged Noelle’s passion for animals and her obsession with spending all of her time with them. Dad is especially fond of the wee dogs and usually has 4 or 5 of them on his bed at all times plus a couple in his lap while he watches TV.
