In the heart of British Columbia, nestled on a peaceful acreage in the stunning Columbia Valley, Unleashed! Pet Care Services has become more than just a kennel—it’s a true second home for dogs and a trusted sanctuary for pet parents. Founded in 2001 by lifelong dog lover and professional trainer Amber Schick, Unleashed! is a family-run, in-home dog kennel, daycare, and training facility that’s been built on one powerful mission: “To love and care for your pets with the same love, care, and devotion that we lavish upon our own.”
Amber’s story began over two decades ago.
“I have owned Unleashed for 24 years,” she said. “I started out as a dog trainer beforehand and started to slowly take a few dogs a day overnight. Now we live on an acreage and run a busy daycare and boarding service.”
Over the years, that passion and dedication have evolved into a thriving business offering all-day group play, swims, walks, one-on-one training, group classes, tidy-up baths, brush-outs, and nail trims—all with 24-hour supervision and round-the-clock love.
Amber’s favorite part of the job? “Creating more socialized, confident and well-trained dogs,” she said.
That guiding principle has made Unleashed! a vet-recommended facility with a stellar reputation for safety, comfort, and genuine care. Whether a pet is staying for a day or a few months, Amber and her team ensure that every dog becomes a part of their extended furry family—with lots of play and snuggle time guaranteed.
Offering More Then Traditional Care
And Unleashed! doesn’t stop at traditional care. Through their heartfelt Guardian Angel Program, Amber and her team provide temporary emergency foster care for pets whose families are in life transition—offering shelter to animals impacted by violence, disaster relief, or medical crisis, with the goal of reuniting them with their families once stability returns.
“We believe that having our pets in our lives makes us happier and healthier,” Amber said.
That belief radiates through every element of their care.
As their services and client base grew, so did the need for an efficient way to manage bookings, communication, and daily logistics.
“We started out by writing dogs down by hand on a calendar and quickly grew too big to not have an online system,” Amber said.
That’s when Revelation Pets entered the picture.
Simplifying and Getting Organized With Pet-Care Management Software
“This program has helped us grow,” Amber said. “It keeps track of everything from billing to feeding to dog birthdays to meds. We couldn’t live without it!”
With easy-to-use booking tools and daily arrival/departure lists that are simple for the whole team to follow, Revelation Pets has helped Unleashed! maintain its high-touch, personal service while scaling smoothly and staying organized.
Amber’s story is one of heart, hustle, and unwavering dedication. For the dogs of Invermere and their families, Unleashed! truly is a guardian, a guide, and a home away from home.
