Doggy Day Care Cochrane

“JoAnn has been great for Otto and treats him well. JoAnn communicates well how he does in her home. She recently had Otto and her dog on a walk with a double leash which went well. Thanks for your consistency as well!”

“Unfortunately, my dog has anxiety which defeated her today, so she wasn't able to stay for the day. But Amber tried really hard to calm her, and in a different circumstance, I would absolutely entrust a dog to her. She was very patient and understanding and communicated well with me.”

About: I have experience in working at the humane society and various vet clinics. I am studying pet nutrition and behaviour which includes cats and their special ways. I am available to walk your dog, let them out or pop over for supper if you are running late. My schedule is flexible and I am able to help out on short notice. I am a mature adult, currently working a few days per week so I have the flexibility and time to look after your fur babies. I have a regular client who brings their cat to my home, however most cats prefer the comfort of their own home so I am available to take care of your cats and plants leaving you to to enjoy your time away.

“Amazing service from amazing people. Easy and fast communication. Loves dogs as her own. Plenty of updates on how happy the dogs are Will continue to use without hesitation. Thank you”

About: As parents of three young kids and long-time dog owners, we know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. Our household is a warm, structured, and loving environment where your dog will never feel lonely. We have a friendly dog of our own, meaning your pup will have an instant playmate and an established routine of daily walks, yard playtime, and plenty of affection. Because we are a bustling family, someone is almost always home. This ensures constant supervision and round-the-clock care. My children are well-trained to respect animals and give them space, while my spouse and I manage all primary care, feeding, and medication needs. We treat every guest dog like a member of our own family, keeping you updated with daily photos and messages so you can enjoy total peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into our week because my wife and I both work casual shifts with highly flexible schedules. This tag-team approach ensures our home is rarely empty, allowing us to build our daily routine entirely around the needs of the dogs. Your pup will enjoy a structured day filled with timely morning walks, back-yard playtime, and regular potty breaks, all seamlessly integrated alongside our own dog’s established routine. We do not work traditional 9-to-5 office hours, so we have the unique ability to adapt to your pet's specific lifestyle. Whether your dog requires frequent outdoor breaks, mid-day medication, or just extra companionship during the afternoon, our flexible setup allows us to deliver constant supervision. We are always around to provide a watchful eye, plenty of family affection, and the peace of mind that your dog is never left waiting. Whether hosting a guest in our home or caring for them in yours, safety and active fun are our top priorities. In our home, your dog enjoys the freedom of our fully fenced backyard for safe, off-leash playtime, along with daily socialization alongside our own friendly pup. We keep dogs active and engaged through frequent neighborhood walks and regular trips to the local dog park for social pets who love to run. If we are caring for your pet at your home, we bring that same energetic, responsible approach—maintaining their precise exercise routine and house rules. Thanks to our flexible casual work schedules, we can easily tailor the day to your dog’s specific energy level and send you frequent photo updates of their adventures.

About: I started taking care of pets 30 years ago with my first dog an all black long haired German Shepherd & my first cat a tabby stray we brought in & named Tiger. I work from home & go for walks every lunch hour & after work so I would love to take your pup with me! It would also be nice to have the company of a pet if you need daytime care. Available most weeks for overnight care. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a park close by which I like to walk to or along the river. Backyard is not fenced.

“Kristina and Ben were extremely nice and accommodating. Created a safe and fulfilling environment for the pups. I have a high energy lab and they took excellent care of her and kept her busy. Much appreciated effort and a great family to look after your dog(s)”

About: As a life-long dog owner, I enjoy spending time with any and all 4-legged creatures. My resident dog, Ellie, is high-needs and high-maintenance which has allowed us to create an ultra-safe, heavily monitored home for anxiety-prone dogs or mischief seekers. Ellie's energy levels won't match that of younger or more playful pups. She'll play when the feeling strikes her, but otherwise she's very indifferent and will keep to herself. So if your dog get's really excited around furry friends, we may not be the best option. I've used this dog-sitting service myself, and can understand the stress that can come with trusting another person with your most prized possession. I promise to do my best in maintaining regular communication and will diligently follow special instructions. My partner and I both work remotely, which allows us to be home most of the time. Your pup can free-roam during the work day and we will provide walks/enrichment in the evening and on weekends. We have a fenced yard that borders a dog park. We take our dogs on minimum 2 walks per day. We will respect whatever meal times you have arranged with your dog. We have a variety of enrichment toys to keep them entertained, as well. We will always keep your dog on-leash unless you explicitly approve off-leash walks.

About: I have my dog since he was a puppy until he's senior now. I have experience with puppy training and also how to take care senior dog. Sometimes, I have friends who takes their dogs to stay with me, while they are away. My dog is friendly, he is get along well with any other dog. I'm a stay home mom with 2 kids, 9 and 7 years old. They are very gentle with our dog. We have medium fence yard that would be enough for dog to do their business, play and run around. I am mostly at home every day, except if I am out for taking my kids to their courses/activity. I walk my dog everyday even on winter time, so more dogs to come walk with us is no big deal. I will make sure that your dog fed well and walk everyday while he/she in my cares. I will treat them well, as my own dog.

“My pup had never been to doggy daycare before and I’m new to it as well. Anna made our first experience amazing. She is very communicative, patient and kind. It is clear that she has a heart for animals and their humans. She made me and Lola feel at ease. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over 5 years. Growing up with a dog, I learned early on the importance of patience and routine. I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need to burn off steam in the Edgemont ravines to senior dogs who prefer a slow sniff-walk around Dalhousie. I am comfortable with hyper energetic dogs and can easily adapt to your pet's specific quirks or medical needs. I offer a flexible part-time schedule that fits perfectly around my other commitments. Fully available for an adventure walks, house sitting, overnight or multiple drop-ins. I have a fenced yard. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. During our walks, I maintain an on-leash policy unless we are in a fenced, designated off-leash area with your explicit permission.

About: What sets me apart is the deep intuition and adaptability I’ve developed through years of rescue fostering, which allows me to expertly read canine body language and provide a calm, structured environment for dogs of all temperaments. My home offers a true "home away from home" experience featuring my friendly small resident dog, who serves as a gentle social director to help guest pups feel safe and ease any separation anxiety. I specialize in providing personalized, high-touch care and consistent routines, ensuring your pet feels like a member of my own family. You can count on frequent photo updates and clear communication so you can relax knowing your dog is in experienced, loving hands. Since I work from home, pet care is the primary focus of my daily routine rather than something fit in around an office job. My flexible schedule allows me to provide constant supervision and high-touch attention, which is especially beneficial for foster dogs or guests who need a little extra reassurance. Your pet will spend the day right by my side—and alongside my small resident dog—enjoying a seamless "home away from home" experience with regular potty breaks, interactive play, and a consistent structure. Because I’m always present, I can closely monitor behavior and energy levels, ensuring every guest feels safe, settled, and like a true member of the family from morning until night I treat my home like a boutique sanctuary where safety and emotional well-being are the top priorities. Because I work from home, your pet becomes my "co-worker," spending the day right by my side with constant supervision and companionship. My years of rescue foster experience have taught me how to create a secure, low-stress environment, using my small resident dog to help newcomers feel confident and relaxed. Outdoor time is just as worry-free, as I have a fully fenced yard where guests can burn off energy safely under my watchful eye. Between carefully managed introductions and a pet-proofed home, I focus on a "safety-first" philosophy that ensures every interaction is positive and secure.

About: Hello! My name is Luz. I love dogs! I used to train dogs for people with special needs, so I did learn how to communicate with them and how to gain their trust. Additionally, I live across a big park and close to many other parks and walk paths areas, meaning that your dog will be having lots of fun! beside that my walk out basement lead to a big yard that is fenced so your dog can still have an space to feel free, safe and happy when we are at home. Also, when it is impossible to go outside because the weather 🥶, I have plenty of space down stairs where your dog can play and have lots of fun in the meantime. So, l hope to hear from you and have the pleasure of taking care of your prince or princess with love. 😍🙏 My schedule is very flexible. Your pets will be very happy playing around.

“I can’t thank Paula enough for taking care of my nervous little dog, on short notice and with amazing enthusiasm! Judy settled in quickly, which says a lot because she’s got serious separation anxiety. I so appreciate finding a dog lover who truly understands!”

“As soon as I passed over the leash with Neo he didn’t even look back. It was like the first day of kindergarten all over again. He was excited to see me at pick up time but as soon as we’re in the car, he’s having a nap. That’s a good sign of a good day! Thank you, Jeanette and Ferris and the kitties too.”
