Dog Boarding in Lake Cowichan

“Thank you, Janice for taking so good care of my little doggie! Peace of mind is everything when I have to leave Abbie behind for work or personal travel. You took care of all her basic needs, kept her exercised and very happy. It is also great that you live close to hiking trails so dogs can enjoy the great outdoors. Abbie looks forward to the next time she visits you, your husband and Bear!”

“Can’t say enough about Karla. She is a kind soul, has a big heart & lap for your fur babies to be safe & cuddled with lots of Love. She has a good routine, my Dez is little older so they do just enough for her to be ready for treat then nap time. My little old lady has her few days with them coming up this May, sure hope she’ll get in the car to come home with me..”

“Marcy was able to look after Kilo, unexpected, and on extremely short notice for us and kept us informed as to how Kilo was doing while we were away. The second time in a month and Kilo was well cared for. We would highly recommend Marcy.”

“Amazing! This was my first time leaving Lucca with a pet sitter and so I was fairly nervous. Haley and Mark were amazing. Lucca needs at least 3 or so good walks/runs each week to be at his best and Haley and Mark delivered! I received regular updates with pictures and Lucca looked so happy. I also worried that Lucca could come home with some undesirable new behaviour but Haley and Mark were respectful of the rules we have for him and Lucca came back to us just as we left him. Haley and Mark are great. I highly recommend them and I will certainly consider them.firat if I need a dog sitter again.”

“Shawneen and family were terrific with our Joey.He felt right at home there and we were kept updated as how he was doing. Definitely recommend Shawneen to look after your pet.Lots of love and attention...”

“Amazing, wonderful care for our 11 week old puppy. She was safe and loved, well taken care of. Lindsey took her on walks, frequent potty breaks and sent several updates with photos. A very good option for doggie care, I’ll use her and her sweet family again.”

“Linda was so great with our dog, Rudy. She sent us updates and Rudy had a lovely property run and roam around. He was well-cared for and came back to us a happy and tired pup.”

“Heather was great with our pup! Sheade him feel at home and kept him well exercised. We were able to do a meet and greet which we really appreciated. Heather also sent photos of their time together. We would definitely book with Heather again!”

“Poppy had such a wonderful time there. There was a great fenced in yard and a wonderful playmate for her. I'm confident that she looks forward to going back again!”

“Amazing!! Jody was available with little days notice! Farley was so lived, he even had his own couch to sleep on!! Pretty sure he didn't want to leave! Highly recommend!”

“Rejan took great care of our pup. She sent pictures and updates and was really responsive to our questions. This really helped us enjoy our weekend away even more.”

“Deidre was super attentive and caring! Bear had lots of exercise and attention and enjoyed playing with Hoppy and Raven, who accepted her as one of the pack and both looked sad when she left. Bear cut her paw playing, which is not uncommon for her as she spins with a stick when she plays outside. Deidre spotted it immediately, contacted us, and offered to take her to the vet but she was also open to our usual treatment, of rest, keeping the paw clean, and flushing with saline solution. Deidre even had experience with this and did a great job. Her paw is looking good and we couldn’t be happier with the care our pooch received!”

“Mabel had a fantastic weekend with Casey and her partner. They took her hiking and played lots of fetch! I would bring Mabel back in heart beat!”

“Amy was exceptional in taking care of Leroy during his stay with her. His leg was bothering him and she took his lead and adjusted their activity together to accommodate him. She sent pictures of them spending time at the beach, and updated me on his condition. I knew he was in good hands. I am so appreciative for her gentle, knowledgeable care. I highly recommend Amy!”

About: I am a BC certified Service Dog trainer with over 12 years experience. I am available to share my calm and loving time with your beloved animal companion either in my home or in yours as a house sitter. I am retired with very few demands on my time. I train only one (full-time, live-in) service dog at a time so my hours are completely flexible. NOTE: MY CURRENT SERVICE DOG-IN-TRAINING IS ABOUT TO GO ON TO ADVANCED TRAINING/PLACEMENT. I WILL BE RECEIVING A NEW PUPPY AND SO WILL BE UNAVAILABLE AT LEAST UNTIL ITS 17 WEEK VACCINATION, AND PERHAPS LONGER. SEE YOU IN JULY. Safety first! Ensuring that the environment is safe and secure for the animal is priority one. After that, it is meeting the physical, nutritional, and emotional needs of the specific pet.

“Excellent boarding - Kelly and Natalie updated daily and sent photos of all the adventures they were having. Finn came home calm and happy - Highly recommend this service. Thank-you Kelly and Natalie for taking such good care of our Finn -”

“This is our very first Rover experience. Dorothy was warm and welcoming. Her response time was impeccable. Drop off was smooth and pick up was swift. We needed that to make good time for our ferry reso. Our dog was so calm at pick up. We are glad we picked Dorothy. Thank you Dorothy.”

“Excellent first time experience. My Ragdoll Kizzy was given so much attention and love which was shown in pictures and videos that I received during his stay. His second stay is already booked. I am very pleased????”

“Five stars for Karin (and her family). They are a treasure and Watson enjoyed his stay with them. I felt comfortable leaving our 6 month old puppy with her as not only is she a kind, generous and caring person - BONUS here - Karin was a vet in her home country. It is a pleasure to recommend her and I am confident you’ll find the same great qualities in Karin as I did.”

“Marcel took my dog Molly for the day while I was at a meeting and she was instantly comfortable with them and their pup. I was in from out of town and had to make a quick decision and I am so glad I found this option for my dog Molly 🐾 If we’re back this way I will be sure to contact you again!”
