Doggy Day Care Parksville

“Very friendly couple and their dog is friendly, too. They’re conscientious and caring; we just needed day-care for us to do an outing to a gulf island, but we wouldn’t hesitate to book for a longer stay, if needed.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages and personalities, including puppies and seniors. I help with feeding, walking, playtime, and daily routines while ensuring pets feel safe and loved. I work from home, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and updates throughout the day. I currently work from home Monday to Friday, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship during working hours. I’m also fully available on weekends and can be flexible to meet your dog’s routine and needs. I make sure dogs are never left alone for long periods and always receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision.

“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!”

“Absolutely blown away with the exceptional care and service. My dog felt instantly comfortable with Leanne and their cute welcoming home, was well loved, exercised and cared for. Wish we lived closer! They are the kind of people you want to be around. Thank you so much!!”

“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.”

“We all liked Courtenay right off the bat, especially Phoebe, and we felt very comfortable leaving Phoebe with her. We tried a two-hour sample stay first and that went very well so the full days that we needed puppy day-care were an easy transition. Courtenay made sure Phoebe was comfortable and busy so she didn’t have time to miss us, and her whole family was also involved so our little girl had a great time. We will definitely leave Phoebe with Courtenay again when needed ✨ thanks Courtenay and fam!”
