Welcome to Pets in the City

Our indoor dog­gy day­care is based on an open area con­cept where dogs are encour­aged to social­ize and play togeth­er.

Dur­ing their day, dogs are tak­en out for two sched­uled walks are free to wres­tle with their friends, play games ini­ti­at­ed by the care­givers, or just hang out. We have some­thing for every­one!

Dogs are con­stant­ly super­vised and nev­er left alone.

We are open Mon­day thru Fri­day, 7am — 6pm. Come join our pack!

Here’s what hap­pens the first time

Jen and dogsThe first time you bring your dog to Pets in the City in Courte­nay, we will sched­ule an inter­view with you and your pet so that we can ensure that it’s a good fit for your needs, which takes about an hour.  Dogs are intro­duced to each oth­er one by one and there is time in the group, part­ly with the own­er present and part­ly with­out.  This allows us to assess suit­abil­i­ty and needs.

This inter­view must be booked pri­or to your dog’s first day of day­care with us.

Give us a call and we will be hap­py to set up a time!  250–338‑7996

Dai­ly rou­tine

While your dog is with us we’ll watch over him or her all the time.  We take them out for a bath­room break, then in for a play, and the first walk is at 9 am.  We get back at about 10:30 and have some relax­ing time.

Dogs who have a lunch are fed, then we have some indoor play­time.  The after­noon walk is from noon to 1:30, when we come back for relax­ing, naps, and play­time.

  • When dogs are on walks they are always on leash.
  • There is fresh water avail­able at all times.
  • We are open from 7:00 am through 6:00 pm, Mon­day through Fri­day.

We cater to those who want a reg­u­lar sched­ule of day­care, or for those that want the occa­sion­al day­care.

Ask us if you have any ques­tions!

Please ask us if you have any oth­er ques­tions about what we do dur­ing the day when your pet is with us.  We are hap­py to help you make the deci­sion that is right for you and your dog.
