Dog Sitting Needed ~ July 5th-7th

We are looking for a dog sitter from July 5-7th for our 15 pound, 6 year old Boston terrier "Miles."  He's very much a lap dog, loves people and really easy going when he's the solo dog. Smaller dogs he's usually fine with (just excited as dogs can be) but larger dogs I can not guarantee the same.  Otherwise he's well house trained and easy on a leash.

We are visiting Thetis Island July 5-7th for a wedding and after plan to explore the surrounding area. Miles would love to come along for the second half of the trip but can not stay with us while attending the wedding on Thetis. 

Any suggestions for canine accommodations would be greatly appreciated!
