Dog Boarding Halfmoon Bay

“Bentley had an excellent stay with Lauren and Andy with plenty of walks and no end of fun. It was easy to tell that he was enjoying himself because he got so tired and was ready to sleep at night without a problem. Lauren also sent us daily reports on what had happened together with photos and some videos and we were most happy to get the regular updates An excellent experience”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jessica was incredibly caring, patient, and understanding with our shy dog, Sawyer. She knew exactly how to help him feel comfortable and at home during his overnight stay. Sawyer got lots of exercise, had a great time playing, and came home happy and relaxed. Jessica also sent us photos and updates throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!”

“Marcy was great! First time using Rover and the experience was straightforward and painless. Our dog is on the anxious side but she looked calm and relaxed with Marcy. We got photo updates throughout the day!”

“Sharon was great at communicating daily re: my dog's day and what they were doing. She was also very flexible re: the drop off and pick up arrangements, which I really appreciated. Isla seemed to have a nice relaxing time at Sharon's and I'd be happy to take Isla there again to stay with Sharon in the future.”

“I'm soo happy that Ariel was able to watch my dog Cinnamon for a few days on pretty short notice. He kept me up to date on how it was going and provided pictures. Ariel also let me know that he was concerned that she wasn't eating much, but I said not to worry (it was hot those days and she isn't the biggest eater anyways). He has a lovely backyard to run and play!! Thank you 😊”

“Our pups absolutely love their stays with Coraline and Valentin. They come back happy and well cared for each time. We feel completely comfortable leaving the pups with Coraline and Valentin because we know how much they care for them.”

About: My soul dog of 14.5 years passed in later 2025. I Have a new Bichon/Shihzu cross who loves other dogs company. They will have a lot f fun together here :-) I work from home in Qualicum Beach. My housing is stable and your animal will be welcome here! I am usually away for 4-5 hours at a time. It depends. I have commitments in Qualicum Beach so I prefer to be in the village. If your home is also in Qualicum Beach I may be interested in staying with you fur friend there.

“Shaylen is awesome! My two fur babies were relaxed and comfortable. She sent great updates throughout the day of their adventures together, and they honestly looked so happy! She took them on a great walk and then back to relax at her house for cuddles. Shaylen is capable and has a great energy around animals, her house is perfect for hosting pets. I will continue to use her for my pet sitting needs.”

About: Dog mom of Max since he was 8 weeks old. My parents used to breed miniature schnauzers, so it was really neat to be part of the process of birthing and puppy care ☺️ After an extended break from dog-sitting, I finally am settled in my own home. My partner and I recently moved to Nanaimo and are excited to explore! My partner and I work from home full-time, so our schedule is flexible for daily potty breaks, walks, outside playtime and snuggles. We also like visiting off-leash dog parks and the beach. Max is a very well loved pup! He is a member of the family, is allowed on the couch for a snuggle and sleeps at the foot of the bed. I love taking Max to off-leash dog parks and trails, so if that's appropriate for your dog, that's great too! I am happy to share lots of video and photos while your pup is in my care. I have an open-communication policy so if there is anything that concerns you, please ask!

About: I have cared for pets for many years, from dogs and cats to fish, and I truly love being around animals. I’m an attentive person, and I’m willing to give your pet everything I have. I would love to take the time to understand your pet’s personality and routine. I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, as well as send you regular updates! I currently work from home, so I’m home all day and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can promise that your pet will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have a relatively spacious home right by the lake, which gives pets a comfortable and peaceful environment to stay in. I will make sure to follow any instructions you give in order to keep your pet and myself safe.

“Shay, Matt and Chacho were so accommodating to Nala at their home. Nala went away with Shay happily excited to play with Chacho. Although she didn’t play so much with Chacho, we learnt that she got super comfy with all of them with a lot of cuddle time. Shay and Matt took Nala and Chacho on 2 great hikes in 2 days. She came home a tired pup which is a sign of all the fun and exercise she got with them. Shay was very responsive and kept us updated with photos throughout. We would trust them to take care of Nala anytime.”

“Jessica was great with Kira! I felt confident in leaving her there, she was very quick in responding and Kira was happy after a couple of days with Jessica. Its great she has a fenced yard where dogs can roam around safely.”

About: Hi there! I’m 25 and a proud pet parent to one very cuddly cat. I’ve grown up around animals and have always been the go-to friend for dog and cat sitting, as spending time with pets truly brightens my day! I love hiking and being outdoors with furry companions, but I’m just as happy staying in for playtime and cuddles 🐾 I tailor every walk and visit to each pet’s needs, whether that means a calm neighbourhood stroll, trail adventure, or extra playtime at home. I have experience with senior pets, foster dogs, larger breeds who pull, and dogs who can be a bit reactive or need extra patience. I’m currently attending university, so while I stay as flexible as possible, bookings will need to fit around my daytime classes. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working toward my BSc in Geoscience at VIU and looking for something fun and rewarding to do around my classes and caring for pets is the perfect way to get me outside and away from the classroom! I work remotely as a child care administrator, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. While I’m not available all day for house sitting during school days, I’m happy to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and even last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I always follow each pet’s routine and care instructions to keep them comfortable in their own home. Safety is a top priority and I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure pets are supervised and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and cared for. 🐾

“This was the first time I left my insecure little dog with a stranger. Her regular sitter was away so I entrusted her with Marcel and although I was apprehensive at first, I am so glad she got to experience a little “holiday” away from me. She played lots with their dog and went on daily walks (which I was also worried about because of her reactivity) but she apparently did well and is actually better now than she was before. I think it was a very positive experience for both me and my dog.”
