DogZen

Tasha truly loves dogs and there is no better person that could be looking after your dog while you are away. She will do anything to make sure your pet has a relaxing, safe, fun enjoyable stay with her. She sends pictures and videos of the daily walks to different mountain trails and hikes.....which is comforting to see how much fun your pet is having. Plus your loved one stays in her home and has round the clock care. We left our 8 year old golden that had separation anxiety with Tasha for 4 weeks and she went the extra mile by comforting her and giving her special dinners and our girl came back very calm. I don't think there is a better place to take your dog while you are away.

Our dog loves her group hikes with DogZen! Marg and her walkers are great. Communication is great and she has been so easy going with our crazy schedules. Our dog waits by the window every day for DogZen to show up and can’t control her excitement when they arrive!

DogZen is amazing!! Our golden retriever has regular off leash hikes and has also been boarded a number of times. He loves DogZen!! And they truly love him and care for him just as I would!! We are very appreciative of the amazing services they offer!!!

It’s taken me a while to come to terms with writing this review mainly because I held Dog Zen in such incredibly high regard before this incident. That being said, I do not have 1st hand proof of anything, so take my story with a grain of salt.TLDR / Summary of this post: don’t use Dog Zen if you expect to pay for your dog to be on hikes all day.I’d also like to preface this by saying Marg really took my dog last minute, for two weeks, at a discounted rate. She clearly loves her business & clients.I picked my dog up after 2 weeks of supposedly going on hikes every day fatter than when I had left him. Every other time I've left him, he loses weight (presumably because he's doing substantially more exercise). He was a bundle of energy (which NEVER happens every other time I've left him for boarding) so much so that he chased a cat down the street & got attacked as we were opening the door. Usually when he gets picked up from boarding he is so tired he is falling asleep on the way to the car. I got 3 photos of my dog while I was away in a different country: 1 of him in the house asleep, 1 of him in the backyard, & 1 of him on a hike.Dog Zen has definitely gone downhill in terms of what I've experienced since I started using them. From what I know, Brigid & Jane now work at Happy Hound in North Vancouver - the experiences I had with them is why I would have stayed with Dog Zen.

Couldn't be happier with my experience at Dogzen. The staff and owner were extremely professional and friendly. Their outdoor day care was super clean, fun and inviting. I had a great time and am very happy that I found a place where my dog is safe and in great hands. Thanks everyone at Dogzen for taking such good care of my pet! I will recommend you to all of my friends.

I have been sending my dog Garth to Tasha to board at Dog Zen for 2 years. My reason for choosing Dog Zen was that Garth would be in her house with a small number for companions. That means that he is not one amongst a bunch of other dogs fighting for attention. He also gets great long walks in the woods as well as diversity which he loves.When I get him back, he seems to find life back at home boring!

Dog Zen is absolutely fantastic. Our dog loves the walkers and we have absolute confidence in Tasha and her team's skills as dog handlers and trainers. When we first acquired 'Maggie Tasha helped us learn how to train our dog on a leash and other important skills. She has helped us to be better dog owners. Tasha and Dog Zen are fantastic professionals; your dog will be safe and well loved. Highly recommended."

DogZen is everything you want for your pet! It is as close to home" as it gets. My dog Max was a rescue dog and had never stayed anywhere else but his home without us until he was nearly nine. Circumstances changed and I now needed boarding. I did not want kennel style boarding and searched the internet looking for options. I saw DogZen and thought this is what I wanted but was still skeptical until our interview. However

Dog Zen is great! Marg (the owner) is great! I have relied upon Marg and her staff for the last 4 years. I totally trust Marg to care for my dog in her home while I'm on vacation. I like my vacations! And, of course, my dog loves Marg and her staff (especially Kim who has recently been taking him on group hikes in the forest). If you have a well behaved and well socialized dog, I highly recommend Dog Zen. 5 star service and 5 star fun!!!

Tasha of DogZen has taken care of our nearly 12 year old German Shepherd fur baby Brazil, since she was just a wee thing of 14 months or so, and is our girl's second home when we are away. If you need a home away from home, and need sensitive and caring leaders to care for your fur baby while they are having a load of fun on trails, DogZen is definitely the" choice.
