Our Story
We Love Your Dog, Just as You Do!
This is not a kennel. It’s home, for us and our dogs. We always treat our pups as if they were our own. Whenever making a day-to-day decision, about something like whether or not to go for a walk, or how much to feed a dog, we always like to imagine that the owner is looking over our shoulder. And we always give each dog tons of love!

Our Services
🐾 Dog Boarding
We enjoy sharing our home with dogs whose families are away. We will treat your dog just as we do our own, 24/7. We don’t have regular jobs. We just hang out with our dogs all day, every day. Our ongoing goal is to take dog boarding to a higher and more personal level.
🏠 Dog Daycare
When we are not going on adventures around the Marpole / Oakridge / Kerrisdale area, we usually hang out at home. We have a large house with a fenced back yard. Depending on their abilities and preferences, the dogs always get plenty of socialization, exercise, and fresh air.
🦮 Dog Walking
We offer dog walks in the Marpole, Oakridge and Kerrisdale areas. Whether your dog wants to run and swim off-leash, or just putter around the neighborhood, we will make it happen.
📸 Regular Updates!
We regularly post photos and videos on our Facebook page, so you can see what your favorite dog is up to.
