Shannon & Manuel can host
Availability
I work mainly from home, with good flexibilty to provide company and attention for your dog (no barkers please!). We are active, social, and would include any fur guests in these activities whenever possible. Daily walks (30-60 mins avg.) are the norm, plus yard/play time. Probably no epic hikes tho. Medium to low energy doggos would be our best fit. Shorter visits are encouraged first to get to know your beast best before longer stays.🐾 We would love to have a few regular boarding clients and perhaps occasional day care visits.

Safety, trust & environment
Our yard, aka Dogville, is fully fenced, with lots of green grass and shaded areas available. Easy ground floor access for seniors and excitement pee-ers! Please note we live close to Butchart Gardens (fireworks*!) and the rifle range so may not be suitable for dogs with high noise sensitivity. We will only care for maximum 2 dogs at a time and only those together from same household. Basic grooming such as ear cleaning, brushing is available. Bathing is an optional service. Large, clean dog crate and dog bed available if needed.

Information Shannon & Manuel P. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know of any special needs or behaviors that we need to consider. We do prefer well socialized, potty-trained pups, with minimal prey drive as we have neighbour chickens on one side and cats on the other! Bonus if you include dog reviews from previous sitters and prefer flea control methods used as a regular health option. No constant barkers, please! Very quiet neighbourhood and online meetings do occur during work hours.
A typical day
Mornings tend to be chill with a few forays into the backyard to take care of "business" and get some vitamin D. Walks can occur during day, or evening strolls, or yard play anytime. Regular visits to the soccer pitch and parks, coffee shops, and longer walks available depending on the doggo's preferences and hopefully lovely social tendencies. For the shy, quiet types, we also enjoy our down time on the couch and have lots of toys and indoor play ideas.

Welcome to Dogville!
Pet care experience
It is our great joy to experience and encourage happy and healthy canines. We have had our own 2 large LabXs over the past 25 years, and cared for more than 10 regular guests over that time. Although we are now without a furry family member 🥲, we have many fuzzy friends, and our pockets regularly smell like liver... 😛
Reviews
If 10 stars were an option, they'd have them. From our first meeting, i felt completely confident leaving Rupert with Shannon and Manny. As a very proud (and slightly obsessed) dog mom, that says a lot! Rupert was so happy, and clearly loved. I'm fairly certain he'd consider extending his stay. I am beyond thankful for the care, the pictures, the treats/adventures and love. Highly, highly recommend.
Dear Shanon&Manuel … I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful care you took of Noëlle … I can tell that she was pampered and spoiled too…Thank you for all the updates and beautiful photos … I really appreciate that you gave her walks, play-time and so much special attention…Thank you for your kindness & compassion…She will definitely be back soon 😊🐶🐾
Our dog, Sika fell totally in love with Shannon and Manny. We were confident and happy knowing Sika had room to play in the fenced yard, got lots of her usual 1:1 human time, and even got introduced to other dogs in the neighborhood. We appreciated their attention to detail on Sika’s care, including experience in dog socialization, which can be a challenge for our dog. Regular updates and pictures made being away much easier.
Shannon & Manuel were fantastic with Bruno. We weren’t sure he would want to come home afterwards. Great people! Happy to board Bruno with them as needed.
