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.

“Courtney was very respectful, accomodating and made sure our senior Golden Retriever was well taken care of. She has a fabulous outdoors space for doggies and quite secluded...a genuine getaway for our dog. I highly recommend Courtney, she's great to work with and a good person to leave your dog with!”

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 !

“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 communicating and provided lots of photos and videos. She was flexible with the times and we appreciated her taking the time to meet with us beforehand. She is very obviously a dog lover! 😀🐕”

“Again…a dream come true. So reliable, so great with my pup. Juniper is an energetic dog and I’m so impressed with the adventures she went on. I got day end photos and she stayed the week with Vanessa while I was away. Honestly, Can’t say enough great things.”

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

“Absolutely wonderful! We left Bagel with Chinese and Cristian for almost a week, and being the first time since adopting her that we'd left, they made it a great experience. They sent tons of pictures and lots of updates on how Bagel was doing throughout. Their dog Benny turned out to be a great buddy for our Bagel, who is a bit more timid and sensitive. I think having Benny as a confident chaperone for Bagel was very beneficial. They also have separate sleeping and relaxing areas for if Bagel needed alone time. Great experience, and would recommend Chinel and Cristian to anyone!”

“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.”

“Thank to Kevin and Kayla for took care about my pets. They did a good job, they’re friendly and kind with me and my little ones. They listened to all my advices to take care of Tammy and MaGui. I’ll recommend them and I’ll booking again with them”

“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.”

“I am so appreciative of Neil — he took such good care of TUKA! She has some special needs (separation stress/prey drive) and Neil was super attentive! She warmed up to him right away and they were best buds instantly. I am very happy to have someone I can trust to take care of her who also sends little updates along the way so I know she’s getting all of her needs met. I will absolutely be booking him again!”

“Matt and Sarah were an incredible find for us! We were in a tight spot without a sitter for our Rottweiler, Ray, just before our trip, but luckily, we discovered Matt and Sarah on Rover. Given the challenges we faced finding care for a large breed like Ray, we were initially hesitant, especially after being turned down by friends and even kennels due to misconceptions about Rottweilers. However, Matt and Sarah welcomed Ray into their home with open arms, and it was clear from the regular updates that Ray was happy and comfortable. We are so grateful for their exceptional care and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy dog sitter. We'll definitely be relying on Matt and Sarah's services again for our next trip!”

“Can’t say enough good things about Jena. Our sweet Coco has the best home away from home when Jena takes care of her. I think Coco may even prefer Jena’s home with all the love and attention (and adventures) she gets when visiting. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Great feedback. Sent updates with pics. Took great care of our pups! Will trust them again in the near future.”

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.

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.

“Extremely Happy! Megan was amazing I had a dog sitter cancel last minute and she was very accommodating to the situation! Would recommend 10/10. Thanks again Megan.”

“Amy was exceptional in taking care of Leroy during his stay with her. His leg was bothering him and she took his lead and adjusted their activity together to accommodate him. She sent pictures of them spending time at the beach, and updated me on his condition. I knew he was in good hands. I am so appreciative for her gentle, knowledgeable care. I highly recommend Amy!”

“We have left Alfie with Tanya twice now and both times were very positive experiences! Alfie can be nervous around new humans but Tanya made him feel very comfortable and they bonded so quickly! Communication was great, and I know Alfie loves the big, dynamic back yard. Alfie is already looking forward to his next visit with Tanya ❤️”
