Dog Daycare in Canmore

About: Hi! We’re Will and Ellie (Wellie) — a British couple living permanently in Canada who work in the entertainment industry and love spending our downtime with furry friends. I (Ellie) have been fostering dogs since I was a teenager — especially pups who needed a little extra love, whether they were seniors, had medical issues, or came from tough backgrounds. I’ve helped care for lots of dogs who needed time to heal before finding their forever homes, so I’m super comfortable with giving meds, managing mobility, and just being a calm, reassuring presence. I’ve also looked after dogs with reactivity — whether that’s around other animals, people, or wildlife — and I always tailor care to what each dog needs to feel safe. Will works in wildlife and has tons of experience around animals too, so between the two of us, your pup is in good hands! We’ve both done in-home pet sitting (dogs and cats!) and have experience with everything from high-energy pups to cuddle bugs. We bought a house here in Canada just a year ago, and we're excited to start helping local families with their pets soon! We both work from home, ensuring any furry visitors have maximum attention and strokes throughout the day. During the week, we regularly let pets out into the yard for breaks, as well as two walks a day (to stretch our legs and theirs!). On the weekends we love to adventure into the parks for hiking or lake days, and we're always eager to bring your pup with us! We live in a house with a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for potty breaks and playtime. There’s a security camera system on the property, and we never leave dogs outside alone — we’re always right there with them. We also have indoor cameras so we can check in on your pup if we need to run out for a quick errand, just to make sure they’re safe and settled. Our yard backs right onto beautiful forest trails, and we’re a short walk from a great dog park too. That said, with unpredictable wildlife in the area, we always keep dogs on-leash during walks unless we’ve discussed otherwise with you in advance — and only if we both feel confident in your pup’s recall and comfort level. Your dog’s safety (and ours!) is the top priority, and we want to make sure everyone stays safe and happy no matter where we’re adventuring. We’re both used to handling outdoor animal encounters and tailor each outing to what your dog enjoys — whether that’s quiet sniffy walks, socialising, or just a quick pee break in the backyard.

“Laura is absolutely reliable and the best pet sitter. She’s attentive and took the best care of my dog. She took walks, and provided everything needed for my dog, even a dog bed and bowls which I had forgotten. I will definitely bring my dog again to Laura and have a piece of mind all day!”

“Bia took such good care of our little girl! They went on long walks together and I could see that Kiwi was very well looked after by how happy she was after her two visits at Bia's. Would completely recommend her!”

“Élise was wonderful, and we felt confident leaving Perry with her for the day as soon as she greeted us at her door. We greatly appreciated all of her clear communication and updates. Perry, a very timid dog, was even comfortable enough for some snuggles. :) Highly recommend Élise!”

About: Need someone to keep your best friend busy when you can’t be around? My husband and I are trail runners that would love to bring your pup along for the adventure. I’m available for dog sitting, walking and check ins throughout the week. We will also send you updates with photos of all your pups adventures. I have over ten years of experience caring for large breed dogs and have completed numerous obedience and training courses over the years. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical and therefore will enforce training while your pet is in my care. We lost our 8 year old dog, Rupert, to cancer in October 2023 and have since brought a new pup, Louie into our home. Louie loves every dog he meets and will be a great companion for any other dog staying in our home. My partner and I both work from home so your pup will spend very limited time alone. You can expect your dog to partake in a morning and afternoon walk along with a longer adventure in the evening. While we do have a fenced yard, your dog will not spend any time outside alone unsupervised. As my husband and I both work from home your dog will be supervised throughout the day.

“Kayla is awesome! We came all the way from the US and we told her that we have 2 dogs instead of one but she was very kind to accept both of them even it’s a late notice. Pebbles and Charlie had a great time and enjoyed their trail walk and even went to the river. The most special thing that Kayla did is she was able to teach us how to control Charlie’s barking if he sees the other dogs since she was able to apply the trick and it worked on him. Kayla, we really appreciate your time taking good care of our furbabies. Hope we can visit Banff, Canada again and we will definitely get you to watch our furbabies. We would recommend Kayla as one of the best dog sitters!”

About: I live in the beautiful Ghost Lake Cottage Club community – a true animal paradise surrounded by mountain views, peaceful walking paths, and the lake just steps away. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, space to roam, and endless outdoor adventures. I work from home, so your pet will have our full attention throughout the day – no long hours alone, just constant love, supervision, and companionship. I have grown up on an acreage surrounded by animals of all kinds – from dogs and cats to horses, goats, and chickens – giving us a lifetime of experience caring for different breeds, personalities, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves long walks or prefers cozy cuddles inside, we tailor our care to make them feel right at home. If you’re looking for sitters who treat your dog like family, provide a safe and stimulating environment, and give them the same love and attention you would, we’re the perfect match. “Your pup will fit right into my daily life at Ghost Lake — morning walks along scenic paths, playtime in my spacious yard, and cuddles while we work from home. With me, they’ll never be lonely — just loved, exercised, and spoiled with attention all day long I welcome your dog as part of our family in our cozy home at Ghost Lake. While I have a large unfenced lot, I always ensure your pup’s safety with supervised outdoor time and leash walks. Just behind my place are beautiful walking paths where we enjoy daily strolls, giving your dog plenty of fresh air, exercise, and new smells to explore. Inside, your dog will have a calm, loving environment with plenty of cuddles and attention, especially since I work from home and can focus on their needs throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, relaxing beside me, or exploring nature on our walks, your dog will feel safe, loved, and truly cared for every moment.
