The Barking Dog is the perfect place to stay when you want to bring your furry friends with you to Victoria. I can't recommend it more. The large basement unit is updated, well-appointed, clean and comfortable, and the hosts go the extra mile in providing generous extras to make both you and your pets comfortable, including a huge doggie bed that our two pugs loved to cuddle on. The star attraction for pets is their shockingly expansive backyard, fully fenced in, which any dog would be lucky to run around in, plus it's a short walk to two of the most beautiful parks I've had the pleasure of exploring, on the rocky coast of Esquimalt. Hosts are kind and responsive. Location is a short drive to downtown Victoria and near great poutine and Thai food, as well as a convenient Tim Horton's. All told, you would be hard-pressed to find a better place to stay in the Victoria area with your pets.
