Dog Boarding Dunsmuir

“So glad to have come across Susan, who, while seeing if she was available for caring for Minnie, my Mother, said ... I know Susan and I take my cats to her. Right there, I knew a good reference! 😊 Met with Susan to met prior to leaving Minnie and her little dog Lily and Minnie played well together. Felt peace of mind and loved receiving the pictures Susan sent of Minnie playing with Lily and on their walks. I know I've found my place to leave my wee doggy if ever I need. I know Minnie enjoyed her time there with Susan and Lily and am happy to have found Susan. 🥰”

“Our 12 year old, who thinks he is a pup had a fantastic time. He came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend this excellent family of carers!”

About: I love dogs and animals and miss having them in my life. I grew up in Calgary with a border collie named Bowser and we went on many adventures such as hiking and exploring. I have looked after friends pets and have begun volunteering with MARS wildlife rescue and would like to be more involved in the community here in the Valley. I am able to walk pets at least twice a day or come and look after your pet at their home. I am a responsible individual who takes pride in being on time and detail oriented with strong active listening skills. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently working online in a masters program so I am home full time and can look after any of your pets needs anytime. I have an unfenced yard with a big property to let your pet play. There is also the beach close by and lots of trails to go running on.

“Sunny & Cole stayed with Susan & Robin for 9 nights. We were nervous finding new sitters for them as they haven’t stayed with anyone in a while. We were thrilled with everything. They were so happy when we picked them up it was clear they were very well cared for and loved. We will 100% use Susan and Robin again they are wonderful people and took the best care of our puppers:)”

“Great sitter! Our Teddy Bear had a great time. We received lots of updates and photos so we always knew what he was up to. I had a lot of last minute changes and they were very accommodating. We will definitely use them again.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages and personalities, including puppies and seniors. I help with feeding, walking, playtime, and daily routines while ensuring pets feel safe and loved. I currently work from home Monday to Friday, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship during working hours. I’m also fully available on weekends and can be flexible to meet your dog’s routine and needs. I make sure dogs are never left alone for long periods and always receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout their stay with us.

“Kiara really gave Copper her time, love and lots of exercise and play! She was so pooped when she came home. She made some buddies and we look forward to our next visit! Thank you Kiara!”

“My boy loves going here. I have zero worries when dropping him off with Michael and Lorena. It’s nice to have that reassurance that he’s being taken care of well with a loving family. I would rate more stars if I could.”

Gabe M.

“Marcy was absolutely amazing! It was apparent how much she loves the company of dogs and she really went the extra mile to make Maverick feel at home. Maverick had a fantastic time and was totally at ease when we picked him up. Thanks for taking such good care of him Marcy!”

Paul & Lindsay H.

“Valeria sent a lot of updates and photos. Benji seemed to have a great time running around the backyard and walking in the sun. Would recommend Valeria to any pet owners looking for a sitter!”

Karisse Y.

“Such a great pup environment! Chelsea is an awesome rover sitter - great communication, other big dogs for Haplo to play with, easy drop off/pick up. We're so appreciative!”

Katherine T.

“Ingrid’s home was the perfect setting for our senior Boston. She was extremely accommodating with drop off/pick up times and very thorough with personality/behaviour/routine/schedule inquiries & care instructions. She sent photos and updates while we away - it was evident he was well loved & taken care of! We will definitely leave our pup in Ingrid’s care the next time we are away! Thank you Ingrid & G :)”

Jess N.

“Dana and her pack were very welcoming to my pup. Dana has a nice little yard for the dogs to romp around in and air conditioning in her home to give relief to hot dogs during a heat wave. Dana sent pictures and check ins to make us feel at ease. Dana was easy to communicate with and was accommodating when I was running a bit late for pick up.”

“My dog Odis was well taken care of. When we came back after 2 weeks he was very happy and healthy. He became part of their family and fit in very well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”

Jody L.

“Marcel with his wife, have been amazing in caring for Joey. I get regular updates and photos that show Joey enjoying the ‘good life’ in their home. I was impressed with their meticulously cared for home complete with a sun shaded dog run. I completely trust their knowledge and experience leaving Joey in their care.”

Susann M.

“A big help when I suddenly was in town for the day for a tour and needed boarding for my dog during the day, during a holiday weekend. My dog is a recent rescue and nervous around other dogs, but she had a glorious time and I’m so glad for all the bonding, and for the open spaces that she was encouraged to explore outside on the land and inside the home.”

Kendell T.

“My dog Loki is so comfortable at Taryn’s he always comes home happier and healthier than when we left him! No hesitation in recommending Taryn. She is fantastic!”

About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life. I have owned my own dogs for the last 17 years. My dogs have always been family members to me and are included in everything I do. I have experience administering medications, supplements and dealing with senior pooches in the past. I have cared for many family, friends and acquaintances pets over the years, including multiple at one time. I currently am at home and available 7 days per week. My husband works full time and is off on weekends. I love to go on daily walks (often multiple) and am always up for weekend adventures at the lake, beach or in the forest with whatever furry friends I have tagging along. I have a fully fenced 1 acre property located in the Alberni Valley, about 15 minutes drive from town. I love walking the many nature trails in our area with my dog. Aside from a daily walk or two, weather dependant, you will typically find us outside on the property, gardening or just relaxing. I understand the importance of meeting the specific needs of certain dog breeds, both physical and mental, as I have a Border Collie who requires a fair amount of stimulation (if ya know, ya know). My home is spacious and well set up for doggies to enjoy both outside and indoors. No couch is off limits for the pups! My girl Millie is very well socialized and loves meeting new doggies of all shapes and sizes. Her many doggie friends will tell you she is very calm and well mannered. I do have free range chickens on our property, but haven’t had any issues with proper introduction and supervision, even with dogs who have never been around them before. I would care for your pup as if it were my own and ensure they had nothing but the best time during their stay! They may not even want to leave!

“Crysta was SO amazing with Benny, she took him on a nice long walk in the morning and she sent me lots of updates and photos of the fun day they had together. Crysta was very good at communicating. I felt very good about leaving Benny with Crysta, would definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
