Dog Boarding in Parksville

“My wife and I were facing a health emergency and needed a dog sitter on short notice. Paula was very accommodating in helping us make a booking for our dog Auggie through Rover.com. Paula's professionalism allowed me to attend to my wife's medical issue without any additional worries about Auggie, who is like another family member to us. When I dropped off Auggie, Paula gave me a tour of the large, fenced-in backyard where Auggie could roam without fear of escaping. Despite the sudden change in her surroundings, Auggie appeared quite happy and contented when I picked her up after the three-day visit. I would not hesitate to book Paula again if we need a Dog Sitter in the future.”

“We left our French Bulldog, Parker, with Susan and Robin when we went away for the weekend. They were very welcoming at our meet and greet. During our time away, we received numerous texts and pics/videos as updates. Parker was happy when we picked him up and tired out when he got home. We will not hesitate to have them look after him in the future. Thank you Susan and Robin for taking great care of Parker!”

About: I love animals in all shapes and forms. I am a dog trainer, groomer and food specialist having raised several puppy show dogs into incredible companions. Your pet will be happy and challenged to learn new skills. Agility is a passion. Expect your loved one to get plenty of exercise, as I love to trail run and make wholesome treats as motivators. I also respect a specific diet and will follow suit. Flexible schedule for your needs. Can’t wait to meet your gem(s)! I am an online law student from home and am completely flexible with my time to suit your requirements. Let’s talk and make a plan! I have a fenced yard and appropriate space for your treasure. My neighbourhood is dog friendly and is active with daily dog walkers. If your dog is anti-social, I can accommodate.

“First time puppy away from home, they made it so easy and I felt very confident leaving my girl with them. She was so happy and exhausted when I picked her up! Thanks Jacquie and Shaun!!”

“Tim has taken care of my dogs ( and Cats ) many, many times. He is very knowledgeable and treats them like family and I have no problem recommending him to anyone for their pet care needs.”

“Shawneen and family were terrific with our Joey.He felt right at home there and we were kept updated as how he was doing. Definitely recommend Shawneen to look after your pet.Lots of love and attention...”

“Marcy provided excellent care for my deaf dog Benson during a three-night stay. She’s accommodating and easy to communicate with; the pictures and videos she sent put my mind at ease. Because she does daycare and overnights for multiple dogs at the same time, I appreciate her procedures to ensure their safety, as well as the consideration she gives to which dogs will get along best. She earned Benson’s trust and he was clearly very relaxed and happy with her. I’ll certainly call on her again and recommend her to friends.”

“Dan responded very quickly and was easy to communicate with. He took good care of our dog Leo. We would not hesitate to use him again in the future.”

“Adam is an amazing dog sitter! My young lab got to enjoy long hikes in the forest and river swims. This was his first time away from home and I didn’t worry one bit. I received pictures and updates and got to enjoy my holiday thoroughly. I expected my dog to greet me with a crazy amount of energy. Although he was happy to see me, he was in no rush to leave his new buddy Adam. I highly recommend Adam and we will be back for sure!”

“We are so grateful to have found Andrea and David. Sadie has spent several day care days with them but this was her first 'sleepover'. She had several friends to play while there and lots of outside walks and play. Right up her alley. Sadie is young and has lots of energy. She came back well exercised and taken care of. I fed her when we got back home at 5:00 and she slept until the next morning lol. We couldn't ask for anything more. We know Sadie can't wait to be back. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.”

“Gabriel B is an intelligent and caring young man who loves animals and has been around pets all his life. Alongside an assortment of dogs and cats, he has cared for farm livestock including poultry and sheep. Gabriel is polite and punctual. In addition to his work with animals, he has also acted as mentor and coach at his local sports facility, and earned himself an excellent reputation in that capacity. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a responsible and experienced pet - sitter or dog - walker.”

“Marcel took my dog Molly for the day while I was at a meeting and she was instantly comfortable with them and their pup. I was in from out of town and had to make a quick decision and I am so glad I found this option for my dog Molly 🐾 If we’re back this way I will be sure to contact you again!”

“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”

“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.”

“What to say that hasn’t already been said!! Incredible women, who have an incredible service filled with love and compassion for our pups!! As a nervous new puppy mama, my anxiety and stress was relieved after meeting them and experiencing the best care for our baby London..”

“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.”

“Banana (my dog) came home happy and tired! Chelsea updated me while I was away and was very easy to connect with before the stay and was easy going about me changing pick up time. Would definitely take banana there again.”

“Sharon was an amazing sitter. She took such good care of our Aussiedoodle who is very timid. We got updates daily and pictures and videos. We will definitely use Sharon again for pet sitting.”

“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.”

“Karla was amazing with Loki, went above and beyond. Getting him a new toy and taking him to the beach. He was so tired when he got back home and has been behaving so well. Thank you!”
