Saanich Sniffaris was born from our shared love for dogs and the outdoors.

As lifelong dog lovers and 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 important 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 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.
