Pet care experience
Loving Dog Care in PoCo!
Caring for dogs has been a big part of our lives for decades. Between the two of us, we’ve got over 40 years of pet care experience. Our last two pups were with us for 18 wonderful years, and we’re well-versed in everything from senior dog care and giving meds to raw feeding and daily routines. We live in a cozy two-story home in Port Coquitlam with a fully fenced yard, just steps away from parks, trails, and wide-open spaces. One of us works from home full-time, and the other teaches just five minutes away, so there’s almost always someone home. Our two teenagers also grew up helping care for our dogs and are gentle, responsible, and animal-loving. We have a young, friendly, playful, 15-pound resident dog named Cooper. Guest dogs should be comfortable sharing a home with another dog. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be welcomed like one of our own: loved, cared for, and right at home. Please note that we may not respond until after work hours (5pm) on weekdays. Thanks for your understanding.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you, Sophie and Kody, for taking such great care of Teddy! You provided amazing care, and it was clear that he was in great hands. We really appreciated the consistent updates and communication while we were away—it gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy also found a new friend in Cooper! Amazing people and highly recommended. We would absolutely have you take care of Teddy again. Thanks so much for everything!
Kody, Sophie and their kids treated my Chewy with so much love and care. They were patient and did a great job easing Chewy's anxiety. Little Cooper was a fantastic playmate. Every day i was sent a detailed message with lots of photos and videos. Chewy seemed very happy and at peace. Im very pleased with how everything went and I hope we have a chance to see eachother again.
We could not be happier with our Rover experience with Sophie and Kody. They took excellent care of our pup, Kaia, and welcomed her into their family. With lots of photos and videos, we had no concerns for Kaia’s care. We would board again with them in the future without hesitation.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Sophie and Kody provide for our pup, Jackie. Jackie is a rescue who usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but from the photos and regular updates, we could tell she settled in quickly. They treated her like part of the family, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. The best part was noticing how much calmer Jackie has been since her overnight stay. 😊 If you’re looking for a warm, calm and caring home for your pup, we would recommend Kody and Sophie’s without hesitation!
I couldn't be happier with Kody, Sophie and family for taking care of Emma! They treated her as part of the family, lots of affection, long walks, playtime and company. Special mention to Cooper who is now Emma's bestie! I love the regular updates, photos and videos that they send. Puts a smile on my face everytime. Emma will surely miss them but I know they're just an email away from booking another sitting. Trusted and a class act!—I highly recommend Kody and Sophie.
Leo had a great stay with Kody and Sophie. They took great care of him for nearly 3 weeks. They sent regular updates which really put us at ease that he was in a great place with great people - we could tell how much fun he was having with them and how they loved having him around. Thank you again!

Schedule
Pet care naturally fits into our daily lives. We work from home and are around throughout the day for walks, meals, playtime, and outdoor breaks. During the summer, the whole family is home, including my wife and our two teens, so there’s always someone here to give your dog attention and company. We’re used to building our days around pets, and we genuinely enjoy it. Walks, feeding, and outdoor time are part of our rhythm, and your dog would be part of that too.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard with a secure gate, so supervised outdoor time is safe and stress-free. Inside, there’s plenty of space to explore, including a cozy playroom with French doors that can be closed if your dog wants a little quiet time while still seeing the rest of the family. Our home is a mix of carpet, hardwood, and laminate flooring, with carpeted stairs for easy movement. We’re prepared for any accidents with steam mops and carpet cleaners on hand. We’re happy to follow feeding schedules and can administer light medications if needed (no post-surgery care). We can close off parts of the house if your dog prefers smaller spaces. While we’re comfortable with crate-trained dogs, we love seeing pups roam and relax if that’s what makes them happiest.
Pets
A typical day
We love keeping dogs active and happy, whether that’s chasing a ball in the backyard, running through the sprinklers, or splashing around in the kiddie pool. We have a variety of toys (and enthusiastic teens!) to keep dogs entertained, and we’ll tailor the day to your dog’s energy level and preferences. We take regular walks through the neighborhood and along nearby trails, and we often play frisbee or fetch in our fenced yard. For dogs who like structure, we’re happy to stick to feeding schedules, quiet time, or light training routines. And for those who just want to hang out and rela, we’re here for that too. Every day includes fresh water, lots of attention, and plenty of play—whether it’s indoors or out. Your dog will get lots of love and stimulation while feeling safe and at home.
