Dog Daycare in Oak Bay

“Melissa took great care of our little Luna! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous to leave our heart and soul with someone we didn’t know but Melissa was very reassuring and communicative to ease our worries and sent lots of pictures and updates! We would definitely use her again and recommend to anyone else looking for good care for their pup. :)”

“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”

About: *Senior dogs only*. Due to the age of my dogs I can only take low energy senior dogs. My fees reflect this. Leave your dog with me for a stress free vacation. I have a hybrid work schedule which allows me to work from home 3days/week offering flexibility in the days. I have a fully fenced yard that offers endless amounts of roaming. As a pet parent of 11 years I understand the stress that can come with leaving your dogs and all their nuances with a stranger. I will listen to all your concerns, and care for your fur babies as my own. I have a lot of experience administering medications. I have a pet stroller on standby. I am extremely knowledgeable of dog behavioural. I work from home 3 days/week offering my choice and can take breaks whenever I need for walks or bathroom breaks. I go to bed around 10pm and wake up when the dogs wake up around 7:30am. Please note that for doggie daycare I am not available for drop off before 8am. You can consider my boarding option and drop off the night before as an alternative :) I live in a one-level, single family home (no stairs) with a huge fully fenced yard. There are no gaps under the fence, and the fence is solid wood (no planks) which helps reduce visibility for reactive dogs. My partners 5.5 year old boy lives with me us part time from Saturday at 7pm until Tuesday at 7am. If your dog is here outside of those days, it is a child free home. He is good with dogs and understands boundaries. Note: I allow two dogs for boarding or daycare from Rover bookings at a time. My price for a puppy is just below double of an adult as they require more of my attention and training limiting the amount of bookings I can take in a day.

“Sandeep took great care of Rosa! He sent me pics and videos of Rosa with the other dog. Communication is awesome and really appreciate the video! Rosa enjoyed her stay with him! Highly recommend!”

“Alexis is so great. I needed to find a daycare for my dog ​​due to some unexpected matters. Alexis responded very promptly and really solved my problem. Dongdong seemed very relaxed at her home in the photos Alexis sent to me.”

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, chickens and even lizards for my entire life. Experienced with puppies and kittens, and senior dogs and cats, including administering medications (yes, even puffers!) and preparing special diets. I'm skilled at doggie baths, showers, and toothbrushing, and puppy training, too. Besides dogs and cats, I'm especially good at rabbit snuggling, hamster, gerbil and guineapig caregiving, and have even looked after budgies, finches and cockatiels. My own pup is a young rescued chihuahua mix who's been neutered, graduated from obedience training, and loves to play with other small dogs. He's well-mannered enough to know when to chill and when to turn up the party, and loves to have houseguests over. I'm a stay-home dog mom so my daily routine revolves around pet care needs. Usually we do a morning walk, morning and afternoon play time, and another evening walk and/or play time, with breaks as needed to visit the fenced backyard puppy potty. Enrichments like hide-and-seek and trick training, or sniff walks at the beach, are always fun! We (my partner and I) have a friendly and bouncy small dog (chihuahua mix) who would love to keep your furry pal company and give them plenty of fun and facilitated play time. We only accept one boarder or daycare client at a time to ensure guest pups get the care and attention they need. Outside, we have a fenced yard, and inside, we have puppy pens, a crate if needed, and gates to make sure nobody runs up and down stairs or out the door when they shouldn't. Dogs are welcome to sleep in their crates or our bed. Walks are always on-leash. We'll want to meet and greet at least a few days before your pup's stay to introduce doggy guests to our pup in a neutral environment, and will arrange to make that happen. For dog walks, our guy is happy to tag along if that works for your pup too, or stay home if they want more one-on-one walking fun. He loves cats, but we know not all cats love him, so they won't be interacting unless your cat is keen on dogs.

“cannot recommend Neil enough!! my corgi, Archie, can be quite high maintenance, so we were nervous at the thought of dropping him off for a day while I was at work and moving between apartments. but from the moment Neil met us at the door Archie, was SO happy and comfortable. Neil sent lots of photos throughout the day, was very responsive & took excellent care of our (very picky) pup. Archie was even walked and ready for bed by the time we got home. He was so sad to leave his new friend! we will certainly be in touch again!!”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah Rose, and animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for pets since I had my first cat at three years old, and my current little Yorkie is the absolute love of my life. I’ve also shared my home and cared for a senior dog who had diabetes, cataracts, and became blind, so I’m very experienced and comfortable with senior dog care, administering medications, and managing all the routines and special attention that come with supporting aging pets. From 2014 to 2021, I was deeply involved in the dog rescue and rehabilitation community in Mexico, working hands-on with both cats and dogs of all personalities and backgrounds. I gained extensive experience in dog training, especially with larger breeds and more challenging cases, learning how to read canine body language and create safe, supportive environments for every animal. I know pets are family, and my approach is always to care for your pet as if they were my own: with warmth, attentiveness, and respect for their unique needs and routines. Whether your companion is a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior needing medication and extra patience, you can trust me to provide responsible, compassionate care. I would love to meet your furry family member and help you feel at ease whenever you’re away. Please reach out if you have any questions or special instructions - I’m more than happy to accommodate all personalities, quirks, and care routines! As someone who works from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am almost always available to provide care and attention for your pets throughout the day. Taking my own dog for walks is truly the highlight of my day, and I love incorporating outdoor time and play into my routine. Because I’m home most of the time, I can offer plenty of companionship, regular check-ins, and a calm, reassuring presence for pets who need a little extra comfort or attention. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, day-care, or overnight care, I can easily adapt my day to fit your pet’s needs, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and well cared for no matter what. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces, regular supervision, and lots of love. I maintain a clean, secure space - removing any hazards and making sure pets are never left unattended outdoors. My own dog is gentle and well-socialized, and I always take the time to introduce pets slowly and ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and instructions closely, respecting your space and your pet’s unique needs. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I am attentive to details, mindful of doors, gates, and feeding routines, and always prioritize gentle handling and positive reinforcement. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as family: with patience, respect, and genuine care.

About: I am the kind of person stops and says hello to every furry friend I see on the road. I have raised 1 Goldendoodle and 1 Doberman since they were puppies. I had a black cat who has been with me for almost 6 years and passed away due to a common urinal disease. 5 years ago I started to do cat boarding in his name and since then I have had plenty of new cat friends as well. The highlight was due to my own cat’s issue I learned a lot about cats and I was able to identify the early signs of a cat urinal problem when one was boarding at my place. I am grateful I was able to treat and stop it from getting worse at the beginning this time. Still miss my baby but thankful for the experience. I work well with dogs and cats. My clients say they like my calm yet delightful energy when with animals. when I am with your loved furry baby I always take lots of photos and videos for you every day to give you the ease of mind when you are away.
