Westshore Wags offers private dog walks, potty break visits, and small scale in-home dog boarding. With only a small amount of dogs, your furry friend is treated as a member of our family with as much love and attention as they can handle. Located along the scenic Galloping Goose Trail in the Glenlake area, boarding dogs will enjoy walks along the trail as well as access to a large fully fenced backyard.
I have 15+ years experience in many areas of the pet industry, including training, walking and boarding. I'm more than happy to accommodate many medical and dietary requirements. Pick-up and drop-off available upon request.
*Effective Fall 2022, We are currently not accepting new boarding clients*

Westshore Wags Services
What I Offer
30 minute visit
This service is ideal for dogs who need a bit of exercise during the day, and prefer a one-on-one environment. We will walk at a pace your dog enjoys around your own neighborhood. I offer this for all sizes and breeds. Reserve my time and relax knowing your pet is in the best possible hands.
30 minutes | $25
Potty Break Visit
Don’t feel guilty leaving your dog home alone all day. I’ll stop by and let your pup out to do their business, feed them lunch, or have a little play. These visits vary in range from 5-15 minutes, depending on your needs. Your dog will thank you for the break!
Up to 15 minutes | $15
In Home Dog Boarding
My In home dog boarding service allows you to make sure your pet is well taken care of, even when you have to leave. In our home, your dog will live comfortably, with access to our couches and beds. We strive to maintain an environment that is as close to your dogs own home as possible. I offer this service selectively, to small breed dogs that are compatible with our family. Please contact us for more details.
Boarding | per calendar day | $45 for one dog | $75 for two dogs
Testimonials
What My Customers Think
I am so fortunate to have had Karin as my dog sitter for the last 12 years! Karin is the only person I trust when it comes to my dogs, and I am pretty sure the dogs feel the same! It says a lot when they start squealing with delight as I turn down the road to Aunty Karin's place. Karin's knowledge and insight as a dog trainer is an added bonus!. Her easy-going personality and flexibility make the chaos of trying to plan a get-away a breeze! I feel at ease knowing my dogs are under Karin's excellent care, from administering medications, special diets to love and attention, and just blending with their human and fur family! There is just no one else like her! I highly recommend Karin as a dog sitter and walker - She is the best!
My 14-year old Schnoodle and I were connected with Karin three years ago. She is always kind and generous with her support; I work full-time and am grateful not to worry about my four-legged baby staying on his own through the day. Karin is trustworthy, reliable and genuinely caring! We are very grateful and happy to recommend her!
Westshore Wags has become Buster’s home away from home. He is always so excited when we arrive and I can tell he loves spending time with Karin and family.
I am very protective of my Golden and I feel 100% comfortable and confident that he is in good hands at Westshore Wags. I highly recommend Karin and Westshore Wags!
Since the moment I met Karin, I knew our puppy would be in good hands. Karin has gone above and beyond for the last year to provide outstanding care for our puppy. Karin is patient, caring and flexible and I know that the highlight of our dog’s day is when Karin comes! Even our neighbours have mentioned how happy Ginger is when they’ve seen her with Karin! I highly recommend her services.

All About Me
Born and raised in Langford, in the very home that she lives in now, Karin had always been destined to live a life surrounded by dogs. As a child, she had an Old English Sheepdog, a cocker spaniel, and then a Bernese Mountain Dog who began a true passion for all things “dog”. She has enjoyed titling her dogs in Conformation, Obedience and Rally, as well as 18 years working as a local dog trainer. Taking her passion to the next step, she began inviting her favorite training clients into her home for “sleepovers” and from there Westshore Wags was born.
Karin lives at home with her husband, teenage daughter, and four Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Evie, Dizzy, Maja and Scarlett along with all of the other furry friends that she loves to have come and visit.
