Pet Boarding Shawnigan Lake

“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Shravistha is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”

“Anqian and Alexandre were absolutely amazing. They watched our dog Bailey for about 12 hours while we were touring. We got many updates and even a few pictures of Bailey which was so comforting. They were very friendly and I would recommend them to anyone staying in the area.”

“Once again it was great to know that Flash was being so well looked after, that he had a safe space to explore, got to go on nice walks and got the snuggles he loves.”

“Our first time with Christy! We will definitely be back! She is so kind and caring and her little dog Luna is a sweetheart. My dog got along with both of them really well! :)”

“Sheila was amazing! She bravely agreed to care for our 80lbs 7-month puppy for over two weeks. We were so hesitant to leave him for such a long period while he is so young but meeting Sheila put our concerns to rest. She is a very calm and confident animal person and provided a nice loving home to our Toby. She also went the extra mile and dropped him at ferry terminal to help us with our travel connections home after a long trip. I highly recommend Sheila.”

Elizabeth F.

“Rox is great! Always kept me updated with information and photos of my cat! He always looked relaxed and happy while playing. I would happily use her services again”

About: I have had pets of all kinds my whole life from hamsters to turtles to cats and my father later in life adopted dogs for me to care for when returning home. I started taking care of dogs when I was travelling for work in the USA through Trusted Housesitters with my partner. After having a child we have had fish, enjoy taking our friends' dogs for morning walks and cat-boarding for colleagues at work. I love living in Victoria and am lucky to live in a nice neighbourhood with big parks and nice walks. Walking is my favourite exercise and walking with company is the best! I am going to use the dog walking extra money to fundraise for my daughter's trip to DisneyLand this February 2027. I want to walk dogs in the morning before work and school for exercise and enjoy the early hours. I am also raising money to go on a trip to Disney Land. Having used Trusted Housesitters, I have stayed in other people's houses to care for their pets for up to a month. I also used to run an Airbnb with my partner so we could travel and have experience cleaning and taking care of the home with pets. I keep a clean and tidy home with my daughter, mostly to keep track of everything haha 😂 I have split level apartment at the top two floors of a house with open spaces and 2 bathrooms. I have a gated front patio and a giant dog park across the street. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the great weather of Victoria.

“This was the first time we left our dog with someone other than family. Montana did a great job looking after Moose! We will happily request Montana again :)”

About: Hey there, thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Zach, and I'm a recent transplant from the prairies. I moved to Victoria at the start of September, and I'm very excited to explore the island and make some furry friends along the way! My Experience & Background: • Lifelong Dog Care: Growing up, my family always had dogs. I naturally took on much of their daily care out of a genuine love for them and the bonds we built. • Trusted by Friends & Family: That foundation turned into a passion for all animals. I have years of hands-on experience pet-sitting dogs, cats, and even fish for family and friends, ranging from quick weekend drop-ins to extended vacations. • Ready for Adventure: I love bringing dogs along on hikes and camping trips. Because of this, I am fully confident and comfortable caring for your pets in a variety of environments, whether they are relaxing at home or exploring the many beautiful parks this city has to offer! I am also a firm believer that every pet has their own unique personality and quirks. If you think I’d be a great fit to watch over your pet(s), I can't wait to get to know theirs! Your pets' care is my priority! I will deliberately keep my day(s) clear so the pet gets consistent attention, proper walks, and company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I take the safety and comfort of every pet seriously. I am currently unable to provide care in my own home; however, I am more than willing to stay overnight at your home if requested. Before any booking, I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet in a neutral public space so you and your pet can get comfortable with me beforehand! During care, I will also keep my location services on so you can check in on walks at any time. Additionally, I will send pictures and/or videos throughout my stay so you are always kept up to date! I won't take dogs to dog parks or allow unplanned interactions with other animals unless you've specifically asked for that. I also make it a habit to walk through the space and clear any potential hazards, such as cleaning supplies, loose cords, anything within reach that shouldn't be. I fully understand leaving your pet in the hands of a stranger can be stressful, which is why I try my best to alleviate as much of that as possible so you, and your pet, can enjoy your time away.

About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.
