# Marpole Dog Walking & Boarding Service

> Marpole Dog Walking & Boarding Service provides owner-operated dog walking, kennel-free boarding and boutique daycare with Ken and Yvonne Gardner in Marpole and South Vancouver. This guide helps dog owners review service scope, rates, admission requirements and enquiry steps before confirming suitable care directly.

Walking routes include Marpole, South Vancouver, Oakridge, Kerrisdale and Cambie, subject to location, timing and fit. Boarding takes place in our home; Metro Vancouver and YVR-corridor enquiries are welcome, but transport is separately agreed. Group walks have at most five dogs; boarding and daycare share at most three dogs total.

Rates are in CAD plus 5% GST: one-hour group walk $40; one-hour private walk $50; boarding $70/night; daycare $50 up to and including eight hours, $60 over eight hours. Final-day boarding pickup after 2 pm adds $35 plus GST. December 20 to January 4 adds $10/night; confirm the total and tax treatment for your dates. Availability and suitability must be confirmed directly; an enquiry is not a reservation. No separate familiarization meetings or free trials; an optional paid daycare day may be discussed.
