About Us

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!

Since 2015, Yvonne & Ken Gardner have owned and personally managed Marpole Dog Walking & Boarding Service

We don’t have a team of employees because every dog deserves our full, personal attention. We know how much your pup means to you — and we take that trust to heart. That’s why we keep our pack small, close-knit, and full of love.

We Are Ken and Yvonne!

We have both had family dogs since we were born. Since getting married a few decades ago, we have shared our lives with Chato, a Lhasa Apso, and Shasta, a Lab/Golden Retriever.

Regular Updates!

We regularly post photos and videos on our Facebook page, so you can see what your favorite dog is up to.
