Victoria BC
Providing Family Style, Kennel Free Care Inside Our Cozy Country Home Since 2008.
Welcome to The K9 Club Dog Daycare
We are a unique country dog daycare in Saanich, minutes from of Elk Lake
Here at our fully fenced, 1-acre woodland dog park, your dog will spend the day exploring nature with friends, then wind down in our cozy indoor dog suite — all while enjoying expert, loving care.
We're not a kennel — We’re a home!
Site visits by appointment only please. For everyone’s safety, please don’t open the gate. ❤️
Meet Your Hosts
We’ve always been the proud “crazy dog people” of legend — the kind who believe dogs deserve a natural, leash and kennel free daycare environment.
After a disappointing experience with traditional daycare, we opened our own in 2008 to offer a gentler, more personal, home-style alternative for well-socialized dogs.
We operated successfully for many years before stepping away for a time. In 2025, with our passion still strong, we quietly reopened — now with a renovated indoor dog suite and the same deep commitment to loving, force-free care.
We look forward to meeting you.
– Rick & Heather

What Makes The K9 Club Special?
The K9 Club is a BCSPCA‑compliant, small‑scale, force‑free dog daycare where dogs enjoy real freedom, companionship, and thoughtful supervision — leash and kennel free.
Every Dog Enjoys:
-
The freedom to just be a dog — sniffing, exploring, and playing with friendly, well‑socialized companions.
-
Access to open grassy areas and natural woodland trails.
-
Midday naps in our stand‑alone indoor dog suite.
-
Personalized attention, belly rubs, and care that fits their personality.
-
The love from lifelong dog people with 34+ years of combined hands‑on experience.
-
Regular clients also have access to overnight care, space permiting.
Who Is a Good Fit For The K9 Club
We’re ideal for well‑socialized dogs who:
-
Have no history of aggression (toward people or other pets)
-
Are comfortable in group dog settings
-
Have reasonable recall skills
-
Are neutered/spayed
-
Minimum age: 1 year
We keep our daily group intentionally small to provide a calm environment with lots of love and attention.
Thanks to our gentle introduction process, we’ve had only three vet visits to date, all occurring accidentally during play.
The Free Introductory Visit
Book your dog's free introductory visit today to help them feel safe, confident, and at ease when they come for daycare. During this visit, your dog will be slowly introduced to other dogs one-on-one, so we can monitor interactions and ensure a positive first experience.
This gentle approach:
-
Prevents feelings of overwhelm
-
Builds trust and confidence
-
Helps dogs bond naturally during their first walk together
If your dog feels happy and secure during this visit, we’ll gladly welcome them as a regular daycare guest.

"There is no other dog sitter that we have ever found in 35 years of having fur babies that can compare with them. They treat your beloved pet as if he/she were their very own. We love Rick and Heather just as our dogs do. They are wonderful."

"Mully absolutely loves visiting
Rick & Heather! I'm confident he's being well looked after. He doesn't even want to come home when I come to pick him up! He definitely loves it there!"

"Skipper and Chester have visited with Heather and multiple times now. I have absolute confidence when my dogs are with them that they are safe. It means the world to me to know this! Their property is a delightful place for the pooches to sniff and explore securely. I love that they are in a homelike setting and that their needs are
met with loving care."
