Dog Daycare in Parksville

“So happy to have found Shawneen! Our puppy adores her and loves playing with her big playful dog Sammy. Quick communication, flexible and kind to work with. Definitely recommend”

“Sara was super accommodating when I needed to change my dates and is great communicating while she looks after my pup! Thanks again sara :)”

“Arantxa did an awesome job taking care of our reactive pup Raja! She and her partner were very patient during our meet and greet as Raja has very specific care needs. She was also patient when introducing her dog Chopper to Raja to ensure they got along prior to making the booking. Arantxa took pictures of Raja’s stay and was also very good at communicating with us. We will definitely be rebooking with her and her family.”

“Marcy was great! Excellent communication both before and during and during Cooper’s stay. She was able to accommodate us on short notice for a three hour visit, which allowed me to run errands and grab groceries. I was initially hesitant because there was a very boisterous larger dog being cared for at the same time and I was afraid my little guy would get overwhelmed or possibly injured. Marcy put my mind at ease by sending lots of photos and videos of Cooper contentedly playing with toys and exploring the yard. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marcy.”

“Mabel was with Amy for the first time. Amy was very accomodating to my last minute confirmation. Mabel seemed very relaxed and comfortable following her time with Amy. I would definitely request that Amy take care of Mabel again.”

“Loki absolutely loves his walks with you and it is a great help for me right now. I think he had found a real friend and I am happy that you know the stubborn little Scotties well:)”

“Superb dog daycare! We have a challenging dog, and on short notice Kelly & Natalie were able to set up a meet and greet where I was put at ease as I watched how good they were with my doggo and as Kelly walked me through their set-up and past experience, both of which suited the rather special needs of my reactive dog. Communication was excellent and I appreciated being asked about whether certain treats were ok before they were given. We've also received some amazing photos that will go in our regular album rotation. Recommended!”

“We have been leaving our Lori, a French bulldog, with Natasha for several years now and are always very happy. Lori loves to walk a lot and Natasha walks with her. Also, our dog has some difficulties with feeding and Natasha always follows instructions with special needs. I recommend Natasha for your pets with full confidence. Our best nanny ever.”

“We are very happy with Callie's time with Susan and Robin. Callie was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. We definitely appreciate their care of Callie and highly recommend them.”

About: I work from home full time and my partner Bailey works 3 days a week (12 hour shifts), giving us plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! We have 2 dog’s (Fido and Simba), and 2 cats (Mango and Lilly), and we would love to welcome more 4 legged friends in to our home. We believe that our pets are family and are treated as such. We have a big fenced yard for the dog’s to play and plenty of toys inside for rainy days! We love taking our dog’s for walks, hikes, and swimming(if the weather permits) and would love to share this with your furry friends as well! Additionally, I have spent many years in animal rescue and am experienced to having a full house of foster animals. I work full time from home for the Red Cross and my partner Bailey is currently in school. We do at least three 30+ minute walks per day (one in the morning, one at 4:30, and one at 8 before bed). Dog’s and cats are welcome on the furniture. We live in a “pets are part of the family” home. I have 3 large bedrooms and a big living room for everyone to have their own space. It’s not common when anyone is left alone. If kennelling is a requirement, this can be accommodated.

“Doug and Janice are absolutely wonderful. Rocky really enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be back again. Thank you so much for being such kind, caring people! It gives us great comfort to know that he is in loving hands.”

“It was my pups first time at daycare. He seemed very comfortable and happy with his experience and was giving lots of kisses before leaving. I love the pictures and the info on the walks. I appreciate how my requests as far as behavior were implemented.”

“I'm extremely happy that I found Andrea here on Rover. My anxious and energetic boy Winston had a great day with her on here beautiful acreage. He ran and sniffed along the trails on her property for hours. He came home tired and happy. Andrea sent pictures throughout the day to ease my worries. The combination of her calm and caring demeanour, along with her vast acreage, is the ultimate jackpot for dogs. Winston will be a regular client!”

“I knew Woody would be in good hands the minute a saw Antonia and Jordon. You can see in their eyes that they love dogs. It definitely gave me piece of mind for my coming longer trip. When i picked up Woody, he looked tired from lots of playtime and emotions. Thank you very much.”

“Lizzie is a very responsible, loving pet caregiver. I've known her for more than 20 years, we've both had pets and they are always well looked after. If I ever needed help with one of my large monsters (great dane, bouviers) she was here in a flash. I would recommend her highly to do pet sitting or walking.”

“Our dog is very energetic siberian husky and we are pleased and impressed by how Tara took care of him She is our last minute hope and she did her best :)”

“Dorothy is very accommodating and is great at calming anxious dogs. I was pleased at the end of the day to find my dog was relaxed and obviously tired which tells me he had walks and play. Thank you Dorothy!?”

“April is amazing! She has such a big heart and cares so much for animals. She has watched my dogs, cats and even fish over the years with stellar results. She’s reliable and has a true sense for knowing what your fur kid needs.”

“Juniper has spent the day with Adam a number of times now and gets SO excited when we pull up. Shes always a happy and tired pup when we pick her up :) Thanks Adam!”

“Alexia and her mom Shelley were absolutely amazing! My partner and I were visiting the island and wanted to do a whale watching trip. We knew we didn’t want to leave our dogs in the RV and decided to try to find someone to watch them. We thought it would be a long shot with such short notice and it being on a Sunday but began calling around. After reaching out to quite a few daycares in Nanaimo and Parksville and being told they were full I decided to try using Rover for the first time. I was super nervous but found Alexia and read the reviews and decided to message her. Alexia responded almost immediately and agreed to take both of our dogs for the following day. I asked Alexia a million questions and was worried about the heat wave and she answered everything with no issues and made me feel confident that the dogs would be in good hands. We dropped the dogs off the next day and were greeted by Shelley who was very kind. Shelley showed us where the dogs would be staying and we shared a few details with her as both our dogs had minor ailments at the time. After we left and were on the tour we received many pictures of our dogs from Alexia that were absolutely stunning and she provided us updates on their well being. We enjoyed our tour and weren’t worried at all. When we picked the dogs up you could tell they had a great time and despite the heat they didn’t seem too hot at all. Shelley even let us know that our one dog might have a bladder infection which helped confirm our suspicions we had as well. If we ever return to the island we would definitely reach out to Alexia again if we needed to have our dogs looked after.”
