We have both had a very special connection to dogs and animals since our childhood and the Cozy Mountain Pet Resort is very much a dream come true for us.

How we got here

Prior to buying our home with the pet resort we lived in Whistler for seven years. Whistler is a true dog town and despite living in a ski-in/ski-out townhome on Blackcomb Mountain, Michelle spent nearly every weekend and day-off she had taking friends' and neighbors' dogs for hikes and outings, as well as having them as guests in our home for extended periods of time.  When the home, property, and pet resort business went up for sale, it seemed like the perfect match.

It was! It has been an incredibly exciting and successful couple of years at the Cozy. We have had over 300 new dog guests on top of more than 150 regular doggies. The key to our operation is our policy to only accept well-trained and well-socialized dogs and our limit of 12-16 dogs per day. 

Our backgrounds and experience

Michelle's background includes a lifetime of pet care, many years of professional child care, and a bit of business and accounting. Michelle is the Leader of the Cozy Mountain Pet Resort. Rob is a Learning Specialist and Counselor for Capilano College at the Ts'zil Learning Centre in Mount Currie. Between us, someone is here 24 hours a day. We also have part-time dog lovers on staff to ensure that the dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles.

Our philosophy

We believe in providing your dog with the same type of experience and care that we would want for our dog– a safe, natural, open, free-range environment to play throughout the day in, other well socialized dogs to play with, a home-like setting to sleep in, and lots of love and attention from the hosts. We hope to exceed your expectations in every way.
