Dog Boarding in Lake Cowichan

“Thank you, Janice for taking so good care of my little doggie! Peace of mind is everything when I have to leave Abbie behind for work or personal travel. You took care of all her basic needs, kept her exercised and very happy. It is also great that you live close to hiking trails so dogs can enjoy the great outdoors. Abbie looks forward to the next time she visits you, your husband and Bear!”

“Amazing! This was my first time leaving Lucca with a pet sitter and so I was fairly nervous. Haley and Mark were amazing. Lucca needs at least 3 or so good walks/runs each week to be at his best and Haley and Mark delivered! I received regular updates with pictures and Lucca looked so happy. I also worried that Lucca could come home with some undesirable new behaviour but Haley and Mark were respectful of the rules we have for him and Lucca came back to us just as we left him. Haley and Mark are great. I highly recommend them and I will certainly consider them.firat if I need a dog sitter again.”

“Karla has take care of our frenchie several times and is a wonderful pet sitter. Karla will care for your dog as her own which takes the stress of leaving your fur baby with someone while you are away. I highly recommend Karla.”

“Lindsey was great, she took our dog on a last minute notice and took great care of him. He had medication to take and she gave him all of it everyday and sent us pictures while we were gone”

“Marcy was wonderful with my pups. They stayed with her for one night and 2 full days. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures of their visit. She is a great sitter, fantastic with dogs. I am so happy to have her watch my pups.”

“Rejan took great care of our pup. She sent pictures and updates and was really responsive to our questions. This really helped us enjoy our weekend away even more.”

“Deidre was super attentive and caring! Bear had lots of exercise and attention and enjoyed playing with Hoppy and Raven, who accepted her as one of the pack and both looked sad when she left. Bear cut her paw playing, which is not uncommon for her as she spins with a stick when she plays outside. Deidre spotted it immediately, contacted us, and offered to take her to the vet but she was also open to our usual treatment, of rest, keeping the paw clean, and flushing with saline solution. Deidre even had experience with this and did a great job. Her paw is looking good and we couldn’t be happier with the care our pooch received!”

“Linda obviously loves dogs and took such good care of my pup. Her facilities are outstanding, very clean and well organized. She is who I will be using going forward with my new dog.”

“Heather was great with our pup! Sheade him feel at home and kept him well exercised. We were able to do a meet and greet which we really appreciated. Heather also sent photos of their time together. We would definitely book with Heather again!”

“Mabel had a fantastic weekend with Casey and her partner. They took her hiking and played lots of fetch! I would bring Mabel back in heart beat!”

“Jody was awesome at communicating, easy going, and took wonderful care of my dog. I felt very at ease leaving him with her! He got lots of love and walks and I got lots of pictures along the way ?”

“Poppy had such a wonderful time there. There was a great fenced in yard and a wonderful playmate for her. I'm confident that she looks forward to going back again!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with a wide range or animals, but I really love dogs and cats. Pets are family and I will love yours like my own. I have experience administering topical and oral medications as well. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I don't have to travel much for work so I can be available on weekends and holidays. I have a large fenced yard and live close to some lovely trails. I have a Golden-Irish Setter who is the biggest, lovable goof ever. He loves other dogs! I also have 2 cats that get along with my dog and usually just hide under the bed until they get used to the new one! Sam (the dog) gets lots of walks and cuddles and treats...he's a little spoiled.

“Amy is an amazing person and dog sitter. She looked after my dog for 5 days and she treated her like gold. Long walks, lots of beach time and lots of love. And then lots of communication throughout the stay and beforehand. I highly recommend Amy!”

“Five stars for Karin (and her family). They are a treasure and Watson enjoyed his stay with them. I felt comfortable leaving our 6 month old puppy with her as not only is she a kind, generous and caring person - BONUS here - Karin was a vet in her home country. It is a pleasure to recommend her and I am confident you’ll find the same great qualities in Karin as I did.”

“Excellent boarding - Kelly and Natalie updated daily and sent photos of all the adventures they were having. Finn came home calm and happy - Highly recommend this service. Thank-you Kelly and Natalie for taking such good care of our Finn -”

“Yuet continues to be amazing every time she sits for me. I think the highest praise I can provide is the fact that my dog Odin gets super excited when he realizes he is going to stay with Yuet.”

About: I am a BC certified Service Dog trainer with over 12 years experience. I am available to share my calm and loving time with your beloved animal companion either in my home or in yours as a house sitter. I am retired with very few demands on my time. I train only one (full-time, live-in) service dog at a time so my hours are completely flexible. Safety first! Ensuring that the environment is safe and secure for the animal is priority one. After that, it is meeting the physical, nutritional, and emotional needs of the specific pet.

“DOS had an amazing time and was obviously well-loved and cared for! Chelsea and Danielle are fantastic and we wouldn't hesitate to leave our dog with them again.”

“Kita loved her stay with Garance and we loved all the pictures and updates !! So nice to have a place to leave Kita when exploring the island so we don’t have to worry about leaving her in the Airbnb!”
