Service

PVPC’s boarding experience cannot be matched by a kennel. Your dog will feel safe and comfortable living amongst our caregivers, their dogs, and our fellow guests, while you are away.

Your dog becomes a member of our family during their stay and receives all the love, care and attention they deserve.

Your dog’s stay will include care of their needs such as scheduled feedings and unlimited access to water, walks, daycare, play, canine socialization, medical administration if needed, and of course lots of cuddles and attention!

  • I have been using Pawsitive Vibes for almost 7 years!

    PVPC are professional, organized and offer fair pricing. They are knowledgeable about dog behaviour and accommodate their services and care to meet every dog’s individual needs. They care for dogs as if they are their own. The community is very lucky to have them as a pet service provider.

  • Pawsitive Vibes Pet Care is the best in the business!

    Since 2019 the team at PVPC have taken incredible care of my dog, going above and beyond to accommodate our requests. I never worry when he is with PVPC. It has made days at work less stressful when he's booked for a walk or day care day and trips away more enjoyable when he's boarding with them.

  • Pawsitive Vibes is absolutely amazing and we are SO thankful for their services!

    PVPC days are Lucy’s favourite days, she loves hanging with her pack pals! Lucy has used the boarding services as well, it was the first time we went outside of family to watch our pets. It brought such piece of mind knowing that Lucy was in the best care, they treat her like family.

  • We moved cities and still drive to board them with Selena when we’re going on a trip.

    Can’t recommend the Pawsitive team enough!! Jaclyn and Selena have taken the best care of our two dogs, both for regular daycare and overnight boarding. My dogs absolutely love them, their dogs, and the pack that they get to play with when they visit.

  • Pawsitive vibes is the place to send your social dog!

    Dean loves being able to play with all his pals and the pickup and drop off is so nice and easy! Jaclyn is very communicative and Dean loves her and Selena so very much. The cost is 100% worth it as Dean comes home and and exhausted from his day!

  • Came through for us in a pinch during a recent family medical emergency

    Very caring and loving young ladies. They really came through for us in a pinch during a recent family medical emergency. We shall not soon forget their kindness and wonderful care for our 4 legged daughter!!!

  • Does PVPC provide services for clients outside their radius?

    At this time we only serve the Hamilton core, Ancaster and Stoney Creek for dog walking and pet visits. We definitely invite clients from outside our service area for daycare and boarding, yet we do not offer pick up/drop off.
