Jennifer Virani ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ken and Yvonne are INCREDIBLE! Nina has been staying with them for 3 years now. I feel so happy to have found such an amazing place for her to “vacation” while I am away.
She adores them and always comes back the most happy and very well looked after. It gives me peace of mind knowing she is having a blast and is safe. I would recommend Ken and Yvonne to anyone who wants the very best for their fur baby while they are away.
Thank you both soooo much.

“Ken & Yvonne are such amazing people. How they care for the furry friends reflect how they are as people ….. patient, compassionate, creative and funny. Our Bailey really thrived in her first couple of years of life in K&Y’s care.”
Mikaela Patajo-Tana ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My dog, Parker, loves Ken and Yvonne and is always super eager to see them 🙂 it’s clear that they take such good care of the dogs and I love how it’s a different adventure everytime Parker comes over to doggy daycare! Ken and Yvonne are also super generous people and sometimes drop off/pick up my dog which I appreciate a ton since I don’t always have a car available. Im super glad I found this place and Parker can’t wait until his next daycare reservation! Thank you guys.”
Jessica C. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We recently went with Marpole Dog Walking & Boarding Service for the first time and had a lovely and seamless experience. Ken and Yvonne were kind and lovely people who truly cared for our dog. They provided consistent updates and we could see that our dog was enjoying the outdoors and spending time with other dogs. We will be bringing our dog back the next time we require boarding service, and highly recommend Ken and Yvonne to all.”
Jeff ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Ken and Yvonne are wonderful. They take great care of your dogs and often go above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone.”
Josephine Wong ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ken and Yvonne have been walking my dog for the past 5 years and I couldnt be happier. Not only are they awesome human beings but they are truly dedicated to the well-being of my dog. They are caring, responsible and always go above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy, safe and healthy.
They have become more than just a dog walker to me, they are now a friend and I trust them 100%. I highly recommend Marpole Dog Walking to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
Alex L ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ken and Yvonne take care of every dog like their own. They are kind and wonderful people who I know I can trust my dog with. My Aussie pup comes back happy from every adventure with them and is always so excited to see Ken and Yvonne when they come to pick him up.
We have also boarded our pup a few times now with them and can trust that he gets all the love and attention he needs. Ken and Yvonne always make sure to know your dogs schedule and any of their preferences they should be aware of. They are absolutely wonderful!
Eryne Ordel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ken and Yvonne are the most amazing care takers for my dog Noah and my parents Dogs Murphy and Dexter. The love and care that they have for all the pets (family members) that they look after is simply incredible. We have been with them for well over 4 years now and cannot recommend them enough.
They post pictures daily and it always makes me smile to see their love and our pets through their photos. Our dogs always come home happy and a little sad to leave their love! We are furever grateful to have them both in our lives!
Cawlinjackson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This is the best place to take your pup! Ken and Yvonne have exceptional dog care skills. Whenever we take our Suka there we consider it a vacation for her as she loves them like Aunti and Uncle! Thank you both for being so wonderful and considerate!”
Bianca Joy Ferreros ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I made arrangements while I was in the US to drop off Noodle on a Friday. However, due to mishaps on my accommodations, they immediately took her in as soon as I landed Vancouver. It was a last minute request and they are very nice folks.
I will bring my dog to them again. Ken and Yvonne are really nice. When I was picking up Noodle, they felt they were being separated from their grandchild, Kens arm on Yvonnes shoulder as they bid us goodbye.
Noodle would climb up to Kens lap as soon as he sat on the couch. Noodle became more affectionate when we returned to the US. Yvonne paid attention to the needs of the other dogs as well.
Fed 3x a day plus treats and lots of hugs. They are really wonderful! I will bring Noodle back to them on my next trip.
Victoria W. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ken and Yvonne are just the best with dogs! They are caring, experienced and my dog absolutely loves them. I have dropped off my dog with them for the day on several occasions so she can get some exercise and play with other dogs.
I have also left her with them for one month while I was on a trip last year and they took very good care of my dog. They are probably one of the very few people that I would trust to leave my dog with. Highly recommend!!
Rosa Scaglione ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The owners were wonderful and really helped us out of a bind. We had to go on a trip and we had planned to leave Kevin with another boarder. The other dog wasnt really happy with a new 4 month puppy joining so we couldnt leave him there.
We were leaving the following day so now we had to find someone to leave our puppy with who we trusted. After meeting with them and having a long conversation you could tell they were great with dogs. Kevin instantly felt at home.
So we felt comfortable leaving him there. We would get regular updates and pictures and when we picked up Kevin after 6 long days apart he looked happy and tired (must have played the whole time). I would highly recommend Marpole Dog Walking. 5 stars for sure!
Very impressed!
C. O. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ken and Yvonne are truly amazing professional, caring, competent and amazing with dogs. They made an impression with me from the initial call inquiring about their services, to picking our puppy Rodney after 2 nights boarding, and everything in between to assure us that he was doing well and sending pictures too!
I was particularly nervous about boarding because Rodney was assessed at another dog boarding place and they had to cancel our reservation due to fear aggression he showed when he stopped by for an hour visit. When I told Ken about this experience and to warn him, he was confident with their abilities to manage Rodney and didnt hesitate to take him in still. They gave Rodney lots of exercise, socialization with other dogs and just as an important love like he gets at home.
Rodney was really happy and so tired when he got home. We will definitely come here again!!
Jordyn Van De Keere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Ken and his wife Yvonne took amazing care of my little pup while I was away! They were very professional and sent me picture updates! It was a great feeling knowing he was well loved and treated as if he was one of their own. I definitely will use their services again!”
Jinder Johal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great service run by caring, dog loving couple, Ken and Yvonne. I have boarded my dog, Mason here since he was a puppy. Ken and Yvonne do their best to be attentive with regard to diet and exercise.
Mason returns looking well and is happy to go back. All questions are responded to promptly. Thank-you Ken and Yvonne.
Janna Florant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our little Baxter was just shy of 3 months old and we desperately needed for him to be watched one day as none of our friends or loved ones were available that day. Baxter is very tiny so we were worried but decided to take a chance with Ken and Yvonne. We couldnt be happier!
Baxter loves going to daycare to play with his friends and he is always happy to see Ken and Yvonne. They truly take care of him as they would their own. Now we send Baxter there a couple of days per week just so he can socialize and have some fun.
A huge thank you to Ken and Yvonne for their care and amazing work with our little pooch.
Elena Chen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Ken and Yvonne are absolutely wonderful! They have helped me out so much with my schedule and I trust them with my puppy completely. They are caring, patient, and have taught Darcey so much. I would highly recommend them!”
Joe McDermid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Our pups always come back so happy! They are well looked after, walked and we love the fact that they post pics almost daily of the dogs out for their walks. The owners are great people and you can tell they love dogs. Recommend these guys very highly!”

“The owners and operators of Marpole Dog Walking & Daycare truly care about dogs. It’s wonderful to know that our dog is in good hands when we leave him with Ken & Yvonne. Highly recommended!”
