Pet Boarding Shawnigan Lake

“Kartheek and his family were wonderful dog sitters. Our dog had such a great time staying with them. I will definitely be booking another visit again soon.”

“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!”

“Kaori was amazing! She’s super nice and accommodating and you can tell she really cares about your pups. I left my two pups with her overnight as the hotel we were staying in is not pet friendly. She sent constant updates and pictures letting me know my babies were having a blast with her dog while me myself was enjoying the night. First time my two pups were away from me for so long and with one of them being anxious easily, Kaori made it a great experience. I didn’t have to worry at all knowing they are in good hands. Thank you!!!!”

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 were so thankful for the care that Karly and Brent gave to our Coco. We received daily updates and pictures of their activities and hikes. Coco looked well and we could tell that she had really bonded with them. When we got to their place they were ready for us, even dismantled the crate! Bless them!! Thanks so much.”

“Christina was amazing! Super responsive and flexible during the booking process. Christina took such good care of our Chappie and sent lots of videos and pictures of him having a great time. Would highly recommend using Christina!”

“Erin was wonderful with my doodle and also very accomodating for drop-off and pick-up times as driving took a little longer then expected one day. My dog was very calm and happy when I picked her up so I was glad to know she was well taken care of by Erin.”

“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.”

“Dani was great at caring for our pup Luna. From sending lots of photos to communicating as to how she was doing, we very much appreciated that level of communication and would definitely book again in the future! Thank you! :)”

“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.

“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”

Holly M.

“Sheila is excellent! I cannot recommend her enough. I’m always hesitant to leave my dog because of his separation anxiety but Sheila put me at ease as soon as we met. She tailored her days to make sure Opie was with her at all times and even took him to dog-friendly places around town. Opie had such a great time, he’s been trying to walk back to her house since we’ve been back!”

Emi L.

“As always we felt good about leaving Poppy with Marlisa for 2 weeks. Poppy was well taken care of and we appreciated the photos sen suing our time away. Thanks :)”

About: We’ve always had dogs and currently have three rescue pups of our own. Over the years we’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from confident social butterflies to dogs that need a little more time to warm up. We know every dog is different and do our best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re with us. One of us works from home during the week, and we’re both around most weekends. That means lots of company, potty breaks, outdoor time, play, and cuddles throughout the day. We live on a fully fenced half-acre property with plenty of space to run, play, sniff, and explore. Our home is kennel-free, and dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable wherever they like. We treat every dog as if they were our own. We are certified in Level 1 Dog CPR and First Aid, and all dogs staying with us must be current on their vaccinations to help ensure a safe environment for everyone.

“Brady has been to Iris’s many times and enjoys going there. He gets plenty of walks and attention. She is also good about adjusting pick up times if travel arrangements change.”

Laura B.

“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”

“Dwight watched my boxer Guinness and my sister's toy poodle. He is excellent with both: a big dog and a small one. Our boxer had long walks and he loved chilling in the backyard. Both dogs got royal treatment :). I highly recommend Dwight. Both him and his wife are very welcoming and I had zero reservations leaving our dogs with them. Do not even hesitate booking him!”

Irina K.

“I am very impressed with Carrie as she looked after my doggie Laurelle with care and attention to her needs. Carrie regularly sent pics to update me which I really appreciated. Highly recommend.”

Jade S.

“Michelle and her lovely pup Copper provided loving (and very fun) care for my pup! Thanks so much Michelle. I'm so glad our dogs enjoyed each other so much!”
