Have your Pup Stay with Us in the Comfort of our Home

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 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.

  • They’re extremely professional and organized.

    PVPC came highly recommended by our precious dog walker. Winnie, our Rhodesian Ridgeback has been on the PVPC roster for 3 years now and the entire team is now part of our extended family. Jaclyn and Selena keep open lines of communication and send timely updates on all of Winnie’s activities.

  • Such peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands

    Our pup gets walks and occasionally boarding and they have been wonderful with him since the start. Such peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands and is actually having fun while we’re not with him.

  • Highly recommend this team if you are looking for reliable, communicative and trustworthy pet walks.

    Selena and Jaclyn at Pawsitive Vibes Pet Care are incredible and we're so glad we found them. The team are experience handlers, organized and communicative. We love the fact that our dog gets a report card after each walk and a run through of his activities.

  • A truly incredible team who really love and respect dogs!

    My pup is obsessed with Jaclyn and Selena, along with all of the dogs she meets. They send a little report after each walk, or day of boarding that let's you know how it went (and often very cute pictures are included). It's been so great to have reliable care for my dog.

  • 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.
