Dog Boarding Lake Cowichan

“Sjako was great with Teddy. His place had lots of space for a dog to play freely. He was extremely responsive on the app and Teddy was a very happy boy when I picked him up.”

“Lindsey was an excellent care giver to our two puppies overnight! I was feeling a bit nervous to leave them and she was very communicative and sent pictures throughout their stay which made the process a lot easier:) we already booked another sleepover!”

“Shane took excellent care of Pixel, my small older dog, and sent pictures and regular updates. So glad to have a trusted sitter if I need to travel.”

“Amy has been lovely to connect with. My dog is quite introverted and I was a bit nervous at first but Amy was able to put things at ease. My dog connected with her dogs quite well and it was lovely to see how well they’ve connected. I’ll be asking Amy for her help with dog day care and boarding more this summer for sure. If you’re considering having Amy help your dog, I think your dog would be in good hands.”

About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.

“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”

“Danielle took great care of Glory and wants us daily updates and videos. Glory also got some good brain work as Danielle did some training exercises with her too.”

“Linda has been responsive and gives extra attention to Walter! Her place is huge backyard and dedicated enclosed cage that even large dogs can comforatbly fit to sleep at night. I would definitely book her again on our next trip!”

“Charlie clearly enjoyed his time with Kristine as he came home happy and relaxed. She was easy to communicate with, sent regular updates and photos, and was flexible around my unconfirmed pick up time due to ferry issues. I highly recommend Kristine if you live in the Cowichan Valley!”

“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 😊”

“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”

Mary K.

“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.”

Tom B.

“Nicole was super nice and kind! Mila was very well taken care of and came back home happy and relaxed. Nicole sent us pictures and kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with the care Mila received and would definitely recommend Nicole! ❤️”

Natacha M.

“Karin was so easy to communicate with and very flexible with drop off and pick up. She sent us regular photos of Charlie so we could see him having a good time at her place. Would definitely recommend her!”

Amanda H.

“A big shout out to Sylvie-Ann and Stephane for the wonderful care of Huxley. Huxley has a few little issues and they made sure he was comfortable and happy. Their little Yorkshire Lilou (4lbs) and my 95lb Pitty cross enjoyed each other’s company. Lol. Thank you so much for taking care and hope to see you soon.”

Marcia R.

“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”

Nick H.

“Tazzy had a great time staying with Jessica and I felt confident that she was being well cared for. Lots of texts, pics and videos sent to keep me updated on how things were going so I could relax, enjoy my trip and not worry about my fur baby.”

About: I worked at my local humane society back when I lived in Ontario where I was responsible for daily enclosure cleaning/maintenance as well as keeping an eye out for any unusual or concerning conditions. I handled the animals and made sure to give them some love while I could. It wasn’t my job to do that much, but I just love animals so much and that job brought me a lot of joy. Aside from that job, I’ve handled pets most of my life. I’ve had cats, dogs, and more personally for 13 years I had a conure, and for about 7 I had a rabbit. Because of this, I’m very experienced with birds and rabbits especially! I am great with cats too, but my household does have one. She’s an old lady that sleeps mostly and if needed can easily be kept away from any other animals. At home I currently live with a cat who belongs to my sister, but I am her auntie and spend tons of time with her and look after her in ways such as helping with her inhaler, helping clip her nails, brushing, and so on. If my sister is away for any reason, she is fully under my care. I have a spare room that is pretty well empty with just a guest bed next to my room in my house, and because I live with a cat with Asthma, I try to keep all spaces (especially that room) scent free. I also have no problem staying at a client’s place for a few nights if we’ve established some comfortability and familiarity. I don’t have supplies or enclosures on my own, so all that would have to be provided by the owner.

“We left Kroshk in the care of Kelly and Natalie and were super happy. They have great strategies to introduce new dogs to their home and dogs and made our pup feel super comfortable. We received many updates of Kroshka having fun as well. I would rebook without hesitation, thank you!”

“Janice is excellent. Communication is responsive and dependable. She stepped in on short notice when another sitter had to cancel on us last minute and honestly we are glad that happened because our doggo was very well cared for despite being a challenging guy. Her location and facilities are also top tier. We will board with Janice again.”
