Dog Daycare in Cumberland

About: Kelly grew up in a household who’s mom’s part time job was a dog sitter/ boarder so 10 years of living at home in my adulthood taught me a lot! I’ve taken care of most breeds of dogs and have lots of experience taking care of them, meeting their needs and training if needed. My uncle and grandfather are also both veterinarians so volunteering at their clinic growing up taught me a lot and is nice to have them as an emergency contact for any questions. Ian grew up in a household of dogs his whole life, having breeds including Tibetan terrier, labs and retrievers. In adolescence he started a dog walking part time job with his friends and loves being around animals. Kelly is a casual employee as a nurse so is able to schedule her shifts herself. Ian is an ecologist and is often able to coordinate working from home - so there will always be someone home when we are taking care of your doggo. We view animals as part of the family and that’s how we treat them. We now live in Cumberland and love taking care of your dogs whenever we can. We live on a 0.3acre greatly fenced property and love having extra friends around to take on adventures or play fetch and be cozy at home. Kelly is a registered nurse in a casual position and is able to create her own schedule around sitting dogs/ has lots of free time. Ian works from home so is always around to be with your dog/ take breaks to go on walks! We would treat your home just as we would ours. We are both mature professionals currently living in a pet-friendly apartment in a safe neighbourhood.

“I was a bit nervous leaving my pup with a stranger for the first time but Adam was awesome, he provided updates and pictures throughout and allowed her to be where she felt most comfortable, even when that meant outside waiting for my return. He even had her equipped with a gps collar incase she escaped. She also got along well with their little dogs!”

About: I grew up with dogs and had them in my life since I was 8 years old. The world is just a better place with animals in it. I am just getting my business of the ground and have time during the week to look after your furry family members. My hours are flexible and if I have to pick my kids up from school, dance etc, I can always take your furry friend with me, my girls love animals. We have a big fenced backyard at our house and I also love to go out on hikes, the dog parc or the lake or ocean if your dogs like to swim or paddle board.

About: I always dogsit our friends' dogs and I LOVE it. I have experience with animals that need special cares and I can manage a couch potatoes or an high energy pooch. I already walk or/and run daily with my dog. I have a big fence yard and work from home. My lifestyle fits well with having animals. I can have your furry baby for a few hours, days or weeks, depending on the fit and needs. I have two friendly animals (cat and dog).

“Kaleena took great care of our pup. She was flexible with our drop off time and was easy to communicate with. Would definitely book with her again when we're next in town!”

“Lindsay and Jordan were great. They were very accommodating and so easy to communicate with. Will definitely leave Casper with them if we get the chance to visit Courtenay again.”

About: I have had dogs in my life for over 20 years. I love my own pets and would treat yours like my own. I have a safe and secure yard for play and love to walk in the neighborhood's wooded trails with leashed dogs. I am currently semi retired and available week days or for holidays and weekends for existing clients. I always make sure I am home when having a guest dog. I have a fenced yard with two small terriers. I believe that dogs need walks and outdoor playtime to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. I walk the dogs 2 times per day. I also volunteer to walk dogs for seniors so the dog enjoys exercise and being outside!

“Susan was wonderful and my pup throughly enjoyed his stay!”

About: Seven years ago, I found my best adventure buddy, Nikita. We're always out and about, exploring new places, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and adventuring together. I'd love to help take care of your pup whenever you're at work or away for a few days. Your dog must be ok with other dogs. 😊 I am currently on 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off schedule so I’ll have lots of time to play with your pup while on my time off (whenever I am available for bookings). I have a house in Courtenay with a big fenced backyard where the doggos can play. There are also couple trails near by I like to go to.

About: Over 12 years of experience with dogs and cats: training, walking, feeding, and loving care. Reliable, attentive, and passionate about every pet’s unique individual needs. I work online from home so am free to take care of your pups all day long. Late pick up and early drop offs are welcome by request. Dogs stay comfortably in my home, couch time included! They’ll have fresh water and meals (provided by their owner) throughout their stay. Treats and poop bags are always on hand. Pups can enjoy a home-like environment with qualified supervision. The front yard is fully fenced for play time and potty breaks.

“Kayleen was really helpful in accommodating a last-minute daycare for Tuzo. Super responsive and her pup was also a great host!”

“Aparna and Chief combine to make a great experience for our dog who has pretty high anxiety. He actually is excited to run through the front gate to greet them both. Thank you for the excellent service Aparna!”

“Our boy Alpine absolutely loved Lizzie and her boy Copper! Alpine spent 2 full days with Lizzie in her home and he went on multiple adventures and came home happy & tired both days. Lizzie truly loves dogs and we highly recommend her dog care services!”

About: I work from home and go for frequent walks with my dog. Our place backs onto a green space so we are out a lot. I work from home and set aside time each morning, afternoon and evening for walks, and can be available if they need to go out. We have a large fenced yard with space to run and play. I always make sure there is plenty of fresh water available, and of course give lots of love and pets.

About: Had dogs all my life and trained and rehabilitated my 15 year old border collie. Recently said good bye to both family dogs. Experience with puppies, senior dogs, unique dog medical needs, and nervous dispositions. I work full time from home, can offer daily dog walks, very active family life on the weekend. Dogs can come along for any and all the adventures where appropriate. Biking, hiking, beach plays, trail runs. Back yard not fenced, very friendly German Shepard shares the yard. Steps away from the beach so many strolls for sniffs and pee breaks. One very excited toddler to pet and play. Has learned to be gentle with dogs.

“Andrea was fantastic and was really accommodating with our last minute booking. Our shy dog Alba enjoyed having a friend for the afternoon while we explored Powell River. We would definitely use Andrea again!”

About: Hello beautiful community, I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, overnight sitting, basic grooming, feeding routines, crate training support, and reinforcing positive behavior. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and stimulation, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and close attention to health needs. I understand that every dog/cat has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, triggers, energy level, and comfort zones to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and changes in behavior, which helps me proactively prevent issues and maintain a calm environment. Please let me know if you have any questions! I would love to take care of your furry friend & I am happy to do a meet and greet 🤗 I recently moved to Powell River and have a lot of free time to play and care for your pet. At the moment, I am available every day of the week. I live in a home and I have a fenced yard with one friendly dog. His name is Douglas and he is very friendly, goofy and affectionate.

“Callie had a great time!”

“Keah was awesome! My large puppy Bear had his first long full day away from me, and it went great! He came home happy and tired 😊 Keah was super accommodating when our arrival time ended up being substantially later than planned. She is super friendly and was very understanding and it made our late arrival stress-free. Thanks for taking such good care of my two boys 💚”
