Ken Gardner with dogs — professional dog walking and boarding in Marpole, Vancouver

What We Do

We offer loving daycare and overnight boarding for your dog. Whether your pup needs a quick adventure while you’re busy for a few hours or a warm, comfortable home-away-from-home while you’re traveling, we’re here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved every step of the way.

We tailor our services to match each dog’s unique needs. Energetic pups can enjoy off-leash outings to parks and beaches across Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, and New Westminster. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, we offer peaceful on-leash walks or simple backyard strolls.


🐾 Dog Boarding

Your dog will live in our home as part of the family. At least one of us is with the pets 24/7. The dogs sleep in our bedroom — although not on the bed — and we have fun activities throughout the day.

We typically have two or three dogs overnight. During the day, the overnight dogs mingle with the daycare pups.

Rate: $70 + GST per night. If pick-up on the last day is after 2:00 pm, there is an additional half-night ($35) charge.
Christmas to New Year’s surcharge (Dec 20 to Jan 1): additional $10 above rates.


🏠 Dog Daycare

Daycare is a great way for your pup to stay active when you are busy with other activities. On a typical day, we usually have at least one or two daycare dogs, as well as two or three overnight dogs. Everyone participates in whatever activities are appropriate for their interests and abilities.

Rate: $50 + GST for less than 8 hours. For over 8 hours, it is $60 + GST.


🦮 Dog Walks

Whether your dog prefers a group walk or a private one, on leash or off leash, we can help. We usually pick up dogs at their homes. As with any of our services, we can do this on any day of the week.

Rates: One-hour group walks are $40 + GST. One-hour private walks are $50 + GST.


🚗 Pet Transportation

Located just a few minutes from Vancouver International Airport (YVR), we are in a good position to help pets make flight connections. We can also transport pets to appointments with their groomers, vets, etc.
