Dog Boarding in Sooke

About: I’m 55. I’m a lifelong pet owner. Right now I’m blessed with having a sweet, quiet Chihuahua and a dog-friendly Sphynx cat. (Dogs for boarding must be good with cats.) Having relied on pet sitters myself on numerous occasions, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy, responsible, and experienced caregiver. What sets me apart as a sitter is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to their well-being. With my age comes a wealth of knowledge and understanding, which I apply to every pet care situation. Whether it's catering to the needs of a senior dog, providing training for a lively puppy, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I approach each interaction with patience, compassion, and expertise. I take pride in maintaining the daily routines of the pets I care for, ensuring stability and comfort in their environment. Whether it's a home visit, doggy day care, or overnight stay in my home, your pet will receive personalized attention and plenty of love. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities. When they're in my care, you can rest assured that they're in good hands, receiving the best possible care tailored to their individual needs. Taking care of pets isn't just something I do on the side – it's my full-time job. I'm dedicated to them all day, every day. From morning to night, I focus on making sure they're well-fed, exercised, and content. Playing, cuddling, and giving them attention is what I do best because it's my passion and my only priority. In my home or yours, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. With your pet's well-being at the forefront, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space conducive to their needs. Whether it's ensuring secure fencing in my yard for outdoor play or utilizing safe and reliable equipment during walks, I take every precaution to keep your furry friend protected. Additionally, I adhere strictly to any dietary or medical requirements, administering medications if needed, and providing a calm and nurturing atmosphere for pets to thrive. With constant supervision and genuine care, I strive to create a trusting environment where your pet feels at ease and loved.

“Our 60 lbs high energy dog absolutely loved his stay with Courtney. He clearly bonded well with her and was happily exhausted. Would definitely recommend to anyone with an active pup.”

About: After caring for family pets my entire life, I’ve concentrated my passion on animals' health towards completing a degree in Veterinary Assisting. Working in a clinic setting helped me identify how much empathy I have for animals(and how hard it is seeing them sick or in pain). This became the motivation I needed to quickly curate a way to make my fondness for spending time outdoors & my love for pets into a full-time way to help them live their best lives. 🌿🌻💪🐕 I believe all pets should get to explore their wild side (even if they have selective recall🤭).I also offer on-leash solo hikes🥾, seaside strolls🌊, Meadow meandering🌾 and way more!! Right now, I'm working as an Off-leash Pack Leader who takes large groups of dogs on hour-plus-long hikes, focusing on their recall& socializing while also maintaining a safe & fun environment. 🐾 Please consider me when looking for a pal to spend time with your most precious and devoted family member. You won’t be disappointed in the love and passion I have for your furry friend!! 👋🏼🐾🧡🫶🏼 🐾 Offering Full Availability! 🐾 Whether it's a morning stroll, midday romp, or evening adventure, I'm here to keep your pup happy, healthy, and active! I have a big fenced suburban yard that my dogs & their friends love to play around in. They is also a comfy corner in my room- especially for relaxing throughout the day or for boarding pups !

“Mary was wonderful and took great care of my little old girl while we were out of town for a week.”

“Sharon was so loving and gentle with Boston. We had a great meet and greet before Bostons stay which helped Boston get comfortable and familiar with everything, we knew right away Sharon would he a good fit and our pup would be treated well and just like part of their family. So reassuring! Lots of communication and photo’s great routine and lots of walks. We will definitely be booking with Sharon again such a great, worry free experience for us! I could go on and on about how wonderful this home is - thank you Sharon and family!!!”

“Sarah was great at giving picture updates and making Louis feel safe and at-home in her space. She is quick at responding and very accommodating for pickups/drop-offs and meetups.”

“Vanessa did a great job of taking care of our little guy. She sent pictures and videos while we were away from him. Her backyard is great for doggies to get that extra run they might need each day.”

About: Your pet will receive an unwavering dedication to personalized attention and comprehensive care. I am a passionate animal lover experienced in pet sitting and boarding. I go above and beyond to ensure the utmost comfort and well-being of your furry companions. "I work from home, therefore, my schedule allows for frequent breaks and flexibility, providing ample opportunities to attend to the pets' needs throughout the day. Mornings often begin with a refreshing walk or play session. During work hours, I incorporate short breaks to check on my pets, offering companionship and ensuring they have access to food, water, and a comfortable environment. In the evenings, I prioritize quality time with the pets, enjoying outdoor walks for fun." Ensuring safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are paramount in how I care for pets, whether in my own home or at my client's residence. I maintain a pet-friendly environment tailored to each pet's needs. I adhere to strict safety protocols, including supervision during playtime, secure storage of potentially harmful items, and regular cleaning to maintain a hygienic space. Additionally, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to address any concerns and provide peace of mind. I also share pics of their pets 3-4 times a day.

“Chinel & Cristian were absolutely the best! We booked a one day puppy sitting for our dog Remi at their home on Vancouver island. After having contacted various Rover dog sitters, Chinel & Cristian were the only ones that were able to accommodate Remi’s needs. He is reactive towards other dogs and can be very anxious with some people & dogs. Chinel & Cristian have a beautiful dachshund named Benny. Him and Remi became friends fairly quickly. They sent us lots of photos and updates on how Remi was doing in their home and with Benny. Me and my partner were a little bit nervous of leaving our dog with people none of us knew, but they made us feel like we could trust them with Remi. They knew how to handle Remi having raised a dachshund of their own. We would highly recommend them! They’re so caring and loving with dogs that the next time we are visiting the island, Chinel, Cristian and Benny are our to go puppy sitters. Thank you guys so much and we hope to use your services again in the future!”

“Very flexible hours and Amber is such a caring person to my bamboo, I would bring my bamboo to her again next time..”

“Alyssa and Justin were great with my dog! They sent lots of pictures and updates while I was away and it was so nice to see how happy my baby was with them. We will definitely be choosing Alyssa and Justin for future dog sitting, very happy with their service.”

“Even though my dog ​​caused them a lot of trouble, Kevin&Kayla still loved my dog ​​until the end. I'm grateful to them. They are very nice people. If they would allow me, I would like to ask them again.”

“Jennifer is a thoughtful, selfless person who loves animals and everything to do with them. She loves being outdoors and finding new parks to go see. She loves snuggling and having lazy days too. She’s be a perfect Rover person as she needs something to keep her busy and this is the perfect way.”

“Alyssa and Adam were wonderful with our old boy and he seems to have really enjoyed time with Ozzy in their big fenced yard. Definitely would recommend!”

“Neil was very caring and communicated regularly with pictures throughout Laves stay. Lave got plenty of exercise and love , I will book again when visiting Victoria . Very good experience !”

“Great communication, kind and caring, sent updates and photos, flexible, reliable.Boston was well cared for and even ate while we were away!, something he has not done with previous caregivers so we know he felt very safe. We felt comfortable and he was happy when we picked him up. We would highly recommend and definitely request again!”

About: Been a animal foster for many years. Have dealt with all sorts of attitudes and temperaments and well as physical disabilities. i give full time care support and attention. I also have experience and support for training and seniors who need different kind of supports. I am home full time as I work from home on my own schedule so lots of socializing and outdoor activities as i love being outside. I have a fenced back yard and behind that another fenced .5 acre area for them to run and play. We walk our own animals 2 times a day for an hour each time. I am very aware of allergies and medical concerns that arise. This is a safe space with lots of rooms in the home and tons of space and support for whatever is needed. This is a home for them which means YES they will be allowed on furniture and anything they need I will try my best to provide. Animals deserve a home instead of a house too!

“Chrystalla was an awesome sitter. She asked lots of questions about my little Winnie so I had no qualms leaving her. II could tell that she really wanted Winnie to enjoy her stay. She was happy upon my return and at the same time didn’t seem stressed. I think we both enjoyed our time away! I wouldn’t hesitate booking Chrystalla again. Thanks again.”
