Doggy Day Care Cobble Hill

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

“Amy is magnificent! I was a bit hesitant to put in a review as I want her available for my mutt! ;-) She is very calm and zen, loving, open and warm which was evidenced by our first meet and greet where she got on the floor and my girl just cuddled into her arms. She sent photos and updates without me asking and was flexible with last minute changes keeping Lily overnight. It is my Lily (the white French Bull Dog) that you will see on her sitter profile, and you can see for yourself how wonderful Amy is.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for 4 cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of different pets. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I also offer boarding in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where your pets will get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work part time for myself from home, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to stay on top of feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 5 acres of space for dogs to explore and play, along with a fenced play area for safe outdoor time. I also have a friendly 2 year old lab to keep your dog company. I’m able to crate dogs if needed, depending on their routine, to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

“Linda provided amazing care for my dog! Super helpful to deal with, accommodated my busy schedule, and my dog came back happy! Thank you so much for looking after my precious pup. I feel lucky to have found you, and will definitely be back again:)”

“Bee was absolutely great with Takaya! He and Vec had the run of the yard, were well-matched in energy levels, and Bee sent me lots of cute pics and videos of them playing and adoring each other.”

About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I’d love to make your travel easier by caring for your beloved fur babies while you are away from home. I work from home and can rearrange my schedule during the day to stop in and take your pets out for potty breaks or a quick walk or cuddles. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so if your pets overnight here, they will have my full attention. I live in Sidney very close to walking paths and parks for walks and playtime.

“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”

“Danielle has been caring for my dogs for a couple months now - they have had an overnight and many daycare days. I trust Danielle with their care, they are happy and tired when they get home, and her communication is clear and consistent. She has been a dream find for me!”

Stephanie N.

“Our pup immediately settled with Criofan and had a happy calm day. We’ve booked her in for a 7 day stay soon and this experience means I am confident she will be very well looked after. But with the field to run in, the AC and the cuddles… will she want to come home?🤣”

Judith F.

“Kristine was so accommodating… on a last minute booking. She welcomed Ruby with lots of love and enthusiasm. She sent us photos and updates which we we loved. Ruby was well cared for.”

Sandra G.

“Meghan was super friendly, took great care of Hunter, had great communication, and a great space for Hunter to feel right at home.”

Jenny B.

“Rachel was wonderful! It was our first time using Rover and we had a 100% satisfaction experience. We met with Rachel in advance of our booking, she was very responsive to our question and quick to respond every time we communicated. She introduced our 8 month old Toller to chickens, horses and cats with great success. A kind and calm sitter, we’d highly recommend her to others. Thanks for everything Rachel!”

Jennifer C.

“I am glad I had a chance to meet Shane, who is obviously an animal lover. I will use her again, when my circumstances change. Thank you to Rover and to Shane.”

Lindi C.

“Bianca was wonderful! She had great communication and sent regular photo updates, which we really appreciated. My dog is very shy and timid, but Bianca did an amazing job and made her feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

Caroline L.

“I’m the lucky one to have Monica and her boyfriend. She’s such a fantastic caregiver and sent me a lot of photos all day long. It just likes that I am with my fur baby the whole day. Dongdong was relaxed in the pictures and made a new friend. I won’t hesitate to book Monica again.”

About: I've loved and cared for animals for over 15 years. Growing up, I had both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a mom, I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to details. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work from home, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. If your pet enjoys companionship, they're welcome to relax beside me in my home office while I work. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and never left alone for long periods. I enjoy having pets around, and I treat every one of them as part of the family while they're with me. My home offers a safe and pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, as well as a large open green space directly in front of the house that's perfect for walks, sniffing, and exercise. Every pet has different needs, so I always follow the owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and any special care requirements. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated during certain times, I'm happy to accommodate that. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine. I also have two young boys, ages 10 and 3, so I ask that pets staying in our home are comfortable around respectful children. We believe in creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, welcome, and part of the family.

“My 2 year old black lab had a wonderful day with Robin and Luc hanging out in their home. Oscar was happy and relaxed to go into their house for his first visit and was happy and relaxed when I picked him up a few hours later. Updates were sent to me throughout the day, including photos. I feel very good about utilizing Robin and Luc's services and I highly recommend them. I give them a 5 star rating and 2 thumbs up :-)”
