Pet Boarding Nanoose Bay

“Jaydyn was awesome, so warm and friendly and did a great job of sending pics and updates. She was also very flexible and accommodating as we had some uncertainty in our drop off and pick up times. Our dog came back happy and healthy. Thanks so much Jaydyn! 😁”

About: ❇️ I pay close attention to animals in my care, I'm always looking out for their safety and well-being. I only host one or two dogs at a time so things stay calm and comfortable. This lets me focus on each dog and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. My goal is simple: help your dog feel safe, happy, and at home — and give you complete confidence that they’re being well cared for. ❇️ Boarding - Bookings are available most weekends of the year from Friday evening to Sunday evening. ❇️ Dog walking - I'm available for dog walks most mornings and evenings throughout the year. ❇️ Day Care - I have daytime availability during July and August + winter/spring breaks + all stat/bank holidays. I work for the school district full time September-June. ❇️ I have a fully fenced yard, and space in my home for crates, bowls, and toys. Safety is important to me. If you have any concerns, or if your dog has special needs, please provide details prior to drop-off. I want to ensure your pet has a fun and happy stay.

“Amazing!! Jody was available with little days notice! Farley was so lived, he even had his own couch to sleep on!! Pretty sure he didn't want to leave! Highly recommend!”

About: Your fur baby will enjoy plenty of exercise as we love hiking, running, and playing! I am dedicated to keeping your doggo happy, active, and so loved while you are away 💕 Caring for pets is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand that pets need routine and structure, and I ensure that they are well-cared for while their owners are away. I make sure to feed them on the schedule they are accustomed to, provide them with plenty of water, and give them regular exercise and playtime to keep them physically and mentally healthy. I also prioritize daily check-ins to track any potential signs of illness or discomfort and provide them with any needed attention. As a professional pet sitter, I maintain clear communication with pet owners, keeping them regularly informed about their pet's well-being through updates and photos. I make sure to adjust my schedule as necessary based on the needs of the pets in my care to provide them with the best possible care. When I take on the responsibility of a pet, I make sure they are given ample time, attention, and care, just like they are one of my own. I offer both in-home pet sitting services as well as caring for pets in my own home. Regardless of location, I provide a comfortable and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and secure. In my home, I have a designated space for pets that is cozy and stress-free, with ample space for exploring and playing. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to familiarize myself with the pet's daily routine to ensure minimal disruption to their lives. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding feeding, medication, and exercise requirements, and provide additional playtime and attention to ensure that the pets feel loved and happy. I also ensure that their living space is clean, orderly, and hygienic, with fresh water and food available at all times. I keep spaces free from potential safety hazards, including cords, small objects, and any toxic substances. I am always considerate of any behavioral or medical needs that a pet may have, and can offer extra care and support if required. Overall, I prioritize the comfort, happiness, and safety of pets in my care, and work hard to provide them with the same love and attention that they receive from their owners.

“Tiffany was great, she looked after Cherry for a day while we were visiting. She was communicative, on time, and Cherry came back to us sleepy from all the fun playtime :) Thanks so much Tiffany!”

“Valeria is amazing! Finally I found a good petsitter, When I went to pick up Kali she didn't want to come with me haha. The best thing about it is that she speaks Spanish so Kali could feel at home, I will definitely use her again and I recommend her. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. We had Golden Retrievers and a Shepard growing up and now I have my own fur baby who is a Chocolate Lab named Arthur. I’ve worked in the pet industry for many years from retail, assisting in a Vet clinic and a Sales Rep for a pet product company. I have a lot of free weekends and what better way to spend that extra time than to spend it with dogs! Please keep in mind I do have a dog that would also be in the home so your dog must be okay with other dogs. I believe in a healthy balance of exercise and down time. I will typically do 1-2 walks a day, play in the back yard and down time with lots of cuddles. I would also like to mention, that If you have a shy or senior dog that likes a calm environment then this is your place!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats as a child. As soon as I moved out to Canada, I got my own dog. My kids grew up with all kinds of animals in the house, the animals helped make my house a home. I’ve looked after friends and family pets most of my life and occasionally got paid for it. I took semi retirement early to enjoy life more and work less. I don’t consider caring for a pet a job. I work less the 30 hrs a week so lots of time to care for your pets in your home Lots of exercise, stick to the routine already set up by the owner. Lots of patience as the animal gets to know me and plenty of cuddles along the way. I have experience with seizures and epilepsy

“Chelsea is amazing. My dog Julia was immediately happy to meet her and was overjoyed to be at Chelsea's dog paradise of a home. I feel so comfortable and confident knowing that my dog is happy and healthy and being treated the same way I would treat her at home. I cannot recommend Chelsea enough... I received daily updates and pictures and I can rest easy while I'm away working. Knowing that my dog could not be in a better place. Julia will spend alot of time with Chelsea this summer.”

“It was easy to leave our puppy with Barb as we could tell she was a pet lover upon meeting her. She took great care of Lucy and we would use her services again. Highly recommend!”

“Kim must be loving and kind because Bodhi did not want to go home. Her yard is fully fenced and her home was dog proofed. I received updates and a picture which always makes me feel more secure leaving my dogs behind.”

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, having had pets of my own as well as caring for animals in my family. I’ve owned and cared for cats at different stages of their lives and have also adopted a Pit Bull mix. I’ve regularly cared for an active Husky and was responsible for maintaining her daily routine, including making sure she received her medication consistently. While I may not have decades of professional pet-care experience, I’m comfortable taking responsibility and adapting to each animal’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m attentive to those differences. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs plenty of exercise, a cat that prefers its own space, or an animal with specific care requirements, I’m comfortable learning what works and making sure they’re well looked after. I work full-time Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, so I’m away from home during the day. My schedule is best suited to cats and dogs who are comfortable being home alone during a typical workday. Outside of work, I’m home and available to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m fully available on weekends, holidays, and long weekends, making those times especially flexible for boarding and longer stays. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while they’re with me. I live in a 25-foot fifth wheel in a quiet, private setting with no pets of my own. While the space is smaller than a traditional home, it provides a cozy and comfortable environment where pets can stay close by and receive plenty of attention. I have a semi-fenced yard with almost an acre of surrounding space for outdoor time. I’m also just a five-minute walk or short drive from local trails and the Nanaimo River, giving us plenty of opportunities to get outside when appropriate. Because there are no other pets in the home, your pet can settle into their own space without having to share it with unfamiliar animals. I’ll always follow their routines, care instructions, and individual boundaries, with their safety and comfort as my priority.

“Alexia and her family were beyond accommodating for us last minute with our rescue pup Harley. They were super patient and knew exactly what he needed. They kept us very up to date with pictures and messages. Their property and their dogs are beautiful and we won’t hesitate to use them again. They knew just what Harley needed to feel safe and comfortable and went out of their way to do so”

“Everything went well with my dogs’ first trip to Keah’s. The yard is very well secured and the house is welcoming. I got a picture and update the first night which is always comforting. I would book with Keah again in the future.”

“Circe was a great host for our two cats and accommodated our booking request on short notice. Our cats clearly enjoyed their stay and Circe provided regular updates. Would happily book again with Circe.”
