Dog Boarding Shawnigan Lake

“Linda has been responsive and gives extra attention to Walter! Her place is huge backyard and dedicated enclosed cage that even large dogs can comforatbly fit to sleep at night. I would definitely book her again on our next trip!”

“Kelsey took wonderful care of our Pippi. I appreciated the regular updates and good communication while we were away and hope to have her (and Frankie!) take care of Pippi again :)”

Andrea J.

“Bill and Gerie are total gems. Our Toby had the best time at their place. They sent us many photos during his 3 week stay showing a very happy dog enjoying the adventures out with Bill. Their home and property offer a perfect situation for dogs and they obviously adore doing this work. Bill very kindly delivered our dog back to our house, a service above and beyond. Toby can’t wait to go back!”

“Andrea was amazing! We have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people and her deteriorating eyesight and hearing can make leaving her with a new person very stressful for us and her. Andrea had a very gentle and calm approach with our dog which allowed her space to feel comfortable. Her updates gave us peace of mind and when we picked her up she seemed at home in her house. It was so comforting for us to know Riley was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Andrea as she clearly has a great energy and connection with dogs putting them at ease.”

“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”

“Jena looked after our 11 month old puppy for over 3 weeks while we were away overseas. It was a perfect experience. I felt completely at ease that our puppy was being well cared for by Jena whilst we were far away. She gave us daily updates. Pictures and videos. Was flexible with the amount of communication we wanted from her. Never left our pup alone. I had total trust that Jena was giving the best care possible. We have no other family or friends on the island to pick up our puppy so I needed to be really sure that she would be with someone dependable. Jena made it possible for us to relax while away knowing that our puppy was being so well taken care of. I have only good things to say and have recommended her to friends since.”

“Danielle was a lifesaver taking in my newly adopted Nellie when family plans unexpectedly changed over the holidays. Although Nellie is nervous around most people at first, she warmed right up to Danielle and her pal Gibuu and settled in nicely for the few days we were gone. I appreciated Danielle’s experience and commitment to Nellie’s care and even sent me updates of their adventures! I would definitely recommend Danielle!”

Christy P.

“Excellent with our dogs, and very accommodating with our schedule. They seem to enjoy their stay and are well loved and cared for which is all a dog owner needs. Thanks again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for 4 cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of different pets. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I also offer boarding in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where your pets will get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work part time for myself from home, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to stay on top of feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 5 acres of space for dogs to explore and play, along with a fenced play area for safe outdoor time. I also have a friendly 2 year old lab to keep your dog company. I’m able to crate dogs if needed, depending on their routine, to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

“We went to New Zealand for 6 weeks. Alisa looked after Lucy and sent us photos. Alisa communicated often and sent us photo’s of Lucy relaxing in the house, playing with Haiko and going on walks. If I asked any questions, Alisa responded quickly. I knew that Lucy was well looked after, and because of Alisa’s care we were never worried and could enjoy our time away. I will only use Alisa and family in future to look after Lucy. I recommend Alisa highly.”

“Ella had a fun time with Criofan. She was happy to leave me and play with the other dogs on the property and she was happy at pick up time. Criofan was easy to deal with. She responded to texts promptly and eagerly set up a meet and greet time beforehand. She sent me photos to show what Ella was doing while under her care. If your dog likes lots of space and other dogs to play with then this could be a place for them!”

Margaret C.

“Both Finn and I feel very fortunate to have found Kevin and Kayla. Finn instantly took to them and that is not usual for him. He thinks they're great and I concur!”

Debbi J.

“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”

Sophia H.

“Daisy and her family are true treasures. They have a lovely home with a fenced yard, Toby the Sheltie adored his time with them and came home a happy pup. Communication with Daisy was excellent and we appreciated the photos sent during his stay in their home. A 5 star pet sitter.”

Patricia M.

“Stine took great care of our Fergus, sending lots and lots of photos and updates and taking him on lots of hikes. He was so happy to be there for the 5 days we left him and got to play non-stop with her dog Brodie. Her and her husband Walt obvious took care of Fergus as if he was their own. They were also very accommodating when our flight got re-routed and we arrived a couple of hours late. We would definitely book again with Stine without hesitation”

Fraser R.

“Charlie clearly enjoyed his time with Kristine as he came home happy and relaxed. She was easy to communicate with, sent regular updates and photos, and was flexible around my unconfirmed pick up time due to ferry issues. I highly recommend Kristine if you live in the Cowichan Valley!”

Joan K.

“Bianca was great. Sent tons of updates while I was away, took a max out on a bunch of adventures with her other dogs and had he had a happy and healthy stay. Can’t ask for more. Would definitely book with Bianca again.”

Andrew M.

“Vicki helped me out last minute having never watched my dog prior; I really appreciated her fast and efficient service! She sent me pictures of my dog frolicking in her yard which was a nice way to know he was in good hands while I was out of town over night. Highly recommend her service and would use her again xo”

Jeffrey R.

“Wonderful space for doggos to enjoy nature and frolic in the forest. Megan is calm and kind and was very attentive to Odins needs. Great communicator as well. Thank you Megan!”
