Five-Star Staycation With An ER Vet

Forget boring pet boarding! Welcome to your dog's ultimate five-star staycation! I'm Dakoda, a Registered Veterinary Technician with 10 years of ER medicine experience trading the clinic to spoil your best friend rotten. While you are away, your pup checks into a custom luxury resort featuring tailored play itineraries, total medical peace of mind for seniors or post-op care, and proactive wellness monitoring that catches the little things before they become something to worry about. My home comfortably welcomes up to two dogs at a time of any size (from tiny pups to gentle giants over 100 pounds) alongside my very friendly 14-pound Maine Coon, Onyx. When I am not saving lives on my rare, occasional 10-hour ER shifts, my entire focus is on pampering your furry family member like royalty. Spots fill up fast for this kind of VIP treatment! Let's set up a meet-and-greet today and book their dream getaway!

Dakoda was wonderful with Ella, sent great photos and Ella was always happy in them. Good communication, prompt responses and very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Thank you again for taking such great care of Ella

Doggy Day Care • Aug 04, 2026

We were in Victoria on short notice and needed someone to look after our dog, Balu, after our plans changed unexpectedly. From the moment we reached out, you were incredibly accommodating and made the whole process completely stress-free. It was clear that Balu was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and the genuine attention you gave him throughout the day. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to enjoy our plans without worrying. Thank you for being so kind, reliable, and flexible, especially with a last-minute booking. We truly appreciate everything you did for Balu and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We’d happily book with you again if we’re ever back in Victoria!

Schedule

Pet care is the absolute heartbeat of my daily routine, and I make sure it fits seamlessly into your pet’s life while they check into my staycation resort. I treat every single day as a top priority, ensuring feeding times, play breaks, and relaxation periods are completely locked in so your companion feels totally at home.

Safety, trust & environment

When your pet checks into my home for their vacation, my main goal is to make them feel safe, cozy, and endlessly loved. I have created a quiet, fully supervised space designed specifically for their ultimate comfort and security, ensuring they get all the luxury and protection they deserve.

Pets

A typical day

I love matching my day entirely to your pet’s vacation vibe! If your dog loves a grand adventure, we are out for engaging walks to the beach or mountains, but if they prefer a slower, relaxing pace, we will stick to gentle games and plenty of affectionate cuddle sessions.

To keep everyone happy, healthy, and ready for vacation fun, I ask that all pets be current on their vaccinations and flea or tick treatments. I would love for you to tell me everything about your pet, from their medical needs and favorite snacks to their funny quirks or what makes them a little nervous, so I can customize the ultimate getaway just for them!
