Doggy Day Care Duffield

“We would 100% book with Kathryn again! She helped us out in a pinch. Very warm and welcoming. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She sent us a picture during the day, took him for a walk. We could tell he was well taken care of.”

About: I have been working as a Veterinary Technician for over a year. I love caring for all kinds of animals. I have my Veterinary Technician Diploma, First Aid, Broiler Technician Certification, and many more. I grew up on a ranch outside Cardston, rodeo, and love horses, so farm animals are always welcome. I’m hard working, efficient, and always willing and happy to fulfill any task. I currently work remotely with a schedule I set myself, so I have all the time for any critters. Being a vet tech, pet care is an every day thing. Even before my career, I’ve always had animals around me. I am a huge advocate for stimulation and sensory for animals, but also knowing when a break is needed. I love going on walks in any environment. I live out of town with lots of room to run and explore while being safe. Given my veterinary medicine experience and knowledge, I am prepared for any situation.

“Our dog Ollie seemed to be super happy when we picked him up! They made sure to ask for any instructions for our dog and had plenty of space to separate Ollie from another dog they were watching. They let Ollie outside several times which he loves and they were great people to contact they answered right away and were friendly! I would definitely book with them again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and began fostering in 2020, which is how I met my dog, Levi — my foster fail! Since then, I’ve continued to foster and have gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds and needs. Since 2024, I’ve also volunteered with the Canadian Animal Task Force at their spay and neuter clinics. Dogs are very much part of our family. I have a 14 year old daughter who is also comfortable around dogs, so visiting pups get plenty of attention and affection in our home. Between fostering, volunteering and caring for my own dogs, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and understand that every dog needs something a little different to feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, so your pup will have company and attention throughout the day. There’s plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, walks and cuddles, and they’ll also have Levi around for some four-legged company. I have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play and explore safely. I’m home throughout the day and will follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. My dog, Levi, will also be here for company. I know every dog is different, so I’ll make sure they have the space, attention and downtime they need to feel comfortable in my home.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. All of my own pets were adopted. Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart and helped build the foundation of my experience working with animals that have a wide range of temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. I’m often the person friends and family rely on when they need a trustworthy pet sitter, and I currently provide multiple dog walks daily for repeat clients. These households include small, medium, and large breeds, some with multiple dogs in the home. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention and maintain their normal routine. I regularly care for dogs with very different personalities and energy levels—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I also have experience supporting dogs recovering from injuries, caring for pets that require medication, and working with anxious or reactive dogs. Animals tend to respond well to my calm, patient energy. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, which helps me respond appropriately if a dog is unsure, stressed, or needs reassurance. My goal is always to maintain each pet’s normal routine and provide calm, consistent care so they feel safe and comfortable. I communicate clearly with owners, send regular updates and photos, and treat every pet and home with respect. Reliability is extremely important to me. Before the first booking, I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so their day, walks, and care stay as normal and predictable as possible. Please request a meet-and-greet before new bookings to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. While dogs are my primary focus, I’m also happy to care for cats and make sure they receive the same attentive and reliable care. I’m available seven days a week for walks and drop-ins, making it easy to fit care around your schedule. My flexibility allows me to respond to your pet’s needs whenever they arise. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I always share updates and photos so owners can see their pets are doing well and happy. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention while maintaining their normal routine so they are comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet’s temperament, preferences, special needs, triggers and routine so they feel safe. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to their behavior and the environment, making sure they’re stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, and maintain a calm atmosphere. Please request a meet and greet prior to booking, to ensure you and your pets are comfortable and it’s a good fit for everyone.

“This was Kuma’s first daycare experience! Amanda was a super great host. Very understanding of the puppy type my dog is and knowing how to cater to it. Kuma was met with other friendly dogs who he had tons of play time with. He surely came out super pooped when we got home! Would highly recommend Amanda as safe and welcoming place to stay for any dog!”

About: I have two dogs, Benny and Leo. Both of them are dog social and friendly. They are both certified wellness dogs and compete in barn hunt trials. Benny knows over 100 tricks (and still learning!) and Leo is also competing in rally obedience trials. We are constantly working towards furthering our training. I use force free and positive reinforcement for training methods. Our days rotate through training, play and rest! I promise a 1:1 training session (topic of choice) and a 30 minute solo walk per day and many many photo updates! I have a fully fenced yard and I take my boys to a private dog park twice a week to run like maniacs. Your dog would be included in all our activities and regular routine! I do require dogs to be crate trained for their stay - both my dogs take an afternoon nap and this allows for me to do the solo walks with each dog. I do expect dogs to be dog social or dog neutral. Safety for all the dogs in my care is my top priority. Our instagram is bennyplusleo if you wanted to see more of how I train and what our days normally look like! I offer day training and boarding from my home. My schedule is made around the needs of the dogs in my care! Dogs will not be left alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time at maximum. Typically we will start the day with some play and then move to 1:1 training sessions for breakfast. Dogs are free to roam my house and can decide to play or lounge. We do a mid day nap for everyone where I will take turns walking the dogs individually. Once all the dog walks are complete the dogs are welcome to free roam the house again to play or relax. I will also use this time to do additional afternoon training sessions! • I try to dog proof my home as much as possible. I have rugs across my main floor to avoid slips. There is nothing out or close to counter edges that your dog can get into. • Dogs are always supervised during playtime, in my backyard or in the basement. I also have motion sensored lights for our potty patch for night time potty. My side yards have additional pens to help prevent dogs from potentially escaping the gates. • All meals are given to each dog separately to ensure that no resource guarding occurs. I have a variety of pens, gates and crates to keep everyone separate when they are being fed.

“Thank you to Ashley, her family and Willow for welcoming Ruben into your home. We enjoyed the photos and updates, much appreciated! We would book with her again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years. Always with great care and attention. I play, take care of, walk, brush with happiness and enthusiasm! I work from home and I can fit it in almost every weekday schedule. On weekends, I can only fit it in if pet's parents really need it, because on weekends, I dedicate my time to my family (including my pets) and my hobbies like flag football and volleyball. I will go to your house and take care of your pets with great dedication and attention. I do not receive them at home because I do not have a yard and also because I have 2 cats that do not like other 4-legged companions and I respect.
