Dog Boarding in Duncan

“Deidre was super attentive and caring! Bear had lots of exercise and attention and enjoyed playing with Hoppy and Raven, who accepted her as one of the pack and both looked sad when she left. Bear cut her paw playing, which is not uncommon for her as she spins with a stick when she plays outside. Deidre spotted it immediately, contacted us, and offered to take her to the vet but she was also open to our usual treatment, of rest, keeping the paw clean, and flushing with saline solution. Deidre even had experience with this and did a great job. Her paw is looking good and we couldn’t be happier with the care our pooch received!”

About: I am a BC certified Service Dog trainer with over 12 years experience. I am available to share my calm and loving time with your beloved animal companion either in my home or in yours as a house sitter. I am retired with very few demands on my time. I train only one (full-time, live-in) service dog at a time so my hours are completely flexible. Safety first! Ensuring that the environment is safe and secure for the animal is priority one. After that, it is meeting the physical, nutritional, and emotional needs of the specific pet.

“Linda was outstanding and very accommodating with my small dog in staying with her at her home for the first time. My dog was very happy and not stressed at all when I arrived to pick her up. I will definitely be going back to Linda in the future and recommend her to others.”

“Heather was great with our pup! Sheade him feel at home and kept him well exercised. We were able to do a meet and greet which we really appreciated. Heather also sent photos of their time together. We would definitely book with Heather again!”

“Mabel had a fantastic weekend with Casey and her partner. They took her hiking and played lots of fetch! I would bring Mabel back in heart beat!”

“Poppy had such a wonderful time there. There was a great fenced in yard and a wonderful playmate for her. I'm confident that she looks forward to going back again!”

“Five stars for Karin (and her family). They are a treasure and Watson enjoyed his stay with them. I felt comfortable leaving our 6 month old puppy with her as not only is she a kind, generous and caring person - BONUS here - Karin was a vet in her home country. It is a pleasure to recommend her and I am confident you’ll find the same great qualities in Karin as I did.”

“My dog Xena had a great time. She was so well taken care of. I appreciate that the booking happened, sight unseen, on both sides. I had to stay longer in Ontario with my ailing mother , and my friend/ dog sitter became unwell and unable to continue caring for Xena. Will definitely request same dog sitter!! Thank you GG!!”

“Amy is without a doubt the best puppysitter we have ever had! She is thoughtful, calm, caring and above all loves and respects dogs for who they are and their needs. Amy takes the time to send updates and pictures which puts a dog parent at ease while away. Amy also is a great adventure buddy and goes on lots of hikes and walks, which was perfect for our forest-loving dog. Our dog Odin came back from a stay with Amy looking rested but tired from adventure, calm, happy, and well cared for. Her lovely place/location is ideal for a puppy staycation. Thank you Amy! Odin misses you!”

“Rejan took great care of our pup. She sent pictures and updates and was really responsive to our questions. This really helped us enjoy our weekend away even more.”

“Janice was great with my timid collie! She kept her comfortable, safe and active. Lots of hikes, and cuddles. My dog looked very content in all the pictures and videos that I received during her stay. We have already booked again with Janice for our upcoming trip?”

“I highly recommend Bee as a dog walker or sitter. Her compassion for dogs, especially her own bull terrier, is truly remarkable. She brings a caring and responsible approach to pet care, making her an excellent choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friends.”

“Kelsey is my wife and we have a golden retriever, Appa. My wife is an incredibly loving pet caregiver and Appa has to be one of the most cared for pups in the world. She regularly exercises him, gives him lots of attention and cuddles, grooms him, and takes him for regular vet checks. Also, we've gone to over a dozen puppy training lessons. All that to say that Kelsey is dedicated to animal welfare and would definitely be responsible in caring for other people's pets.”

“Arbour just stayed with Bronwynn and came back tired and happy. Bronwynn was great with communication and was happy to look after Arbour. Highly recommend and will be booking again!”

About: I work 5 days a week as a veterinary assistant for the last 2.5 years and have been pet sitting on the side for the last several years! I have tons of experience looking after senior pets and pets that require special attention! Very comfortable administering oral and injectable medications; including subcutaneous fluids! Whoever is in my care becomes a piece of my everyday life for however long they may be with me. I treat your pets as I would my own💛 regular potty/play breaks and walks! I have a very friendly pup who loves to make friends so they can play if that’s something you’d be comfortable with. I am also more than happy to stay in clients home; I do work 8 hour days in clinic so that’s the only issue that may occur for compatibility. I personally crate trained my dog and she does very well with it when left alone. I have an unfenced yard; so the dogs are never left unattended or otherwise put on the dog run. When I stay in a clients home I just follow whatever normal routines they have in place for they’re animals! I find most animals are most comfortable staying in their own environment and sticking to a similar routine; pet comfort and safety is my #1 priority!

“We left our dog Pepe with Ting for a week. We were super happy. She sent us pictures of how much fun he was having. She walked Pepe multiple times a day. Made homemade food for him. It is easy to tell she loves dogs very much. We have already planned our next adventure and look forward to leaving our dog Pepe with her again. We highly recommend her services.”

“Our whoodle Lulu had a great stay with Angie & her family. She had so much fun playing with the girls, their dog Buddy and the other dogs at the park.”

“Simon and Julie are amazing hosts! Their house is warm and cozy, clean and spacious. The house is in a great location, very easy to get to from transit. It has a large yard and is close to many quiet roads and trails. They have a great dog- Cali. She is very energetic and loves to play! But she also loves to lie around and be lazy. She’s great at taking naps by the fire! We had a great time looking after Cali, and would love to take care of her again in the future.”

“Wow! Michele was right when she said Club Med for dogs! Daily, I received pics, videos, trail maps of Dixie & Rueben so happy trail exploring, romping, splashing, running, swimming, playing, and then naturally??zonked right out! I see that they also got a lot of cuddles & safety grooms regularly. I appreciated Michele taking us on an initial tour, and explaining her dog care plan. She asked a lot of questions which made me feel even more confident in leaving D&R in her care. If you want to feel extremely comfortable in leaving your pet in someone else’s care and you also want your pets to have the most fun and exercise then “auntie” Michele is definitely your best choice.”

“Sarah was awesome. From the meet and greet until pick up. Sarah was enthusiastic, professional and quick at responding. During the stay I received many photos and stories of what Sarah and my dog were up to. And I was met with a happy and healthy dog to bring home. I would definitely use Sarahs services again.”
