Dog Boarding Elizabethtown-Kitley

“Fantastic experience! Great communication, video updates, and it was obvious Remy was well cared for. I had complete peace of mind while we were away and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

“I am so thrilled to have connected with Kristina! My two boys Charlie and Gus were so well taken care of and made to feel right at home with she and her family. They noticed and responded to each of their personalities and provided them with what they needed to feel comfortable and secure. I loved receiving the many photos and updates as this was the first time I have left them with anyone but family! I have already booked again!”

About: I've had dogs for the last 20 years, usually with four in the house at a time. We've had a Shih-tzu, three Jack-Shih-tzus, a Great Pyrenees, and now a solo Maltie-Poo named Dozer. Every dog I meet is a new friend, and I have to admit that I knew the names of all the dogs in my last neighborhood, and like maybe three of the owners names. Happy to walk active dogs that need long walks. For doggy day care and boarding we have to restrict it to small dogs because our own small dog is picky about which larger dogs he likes. Other animals: I've also taken care of farm animals. Dairy cows and calves, and feeding chickens and putting them in for the night. I've kept both freshwater and marine tanks and can check up on your fish or your reef while you're away. No worrying about your niece or nephew dumping a whole container of bug bites into the tank while you're gone and causing an ammonia spike. I've also kept constrictors and colubrids (but not currently), crested geckos, and dart frogs, and am familiar with the husbandry of each. I have a flexible schedule and am in between writing contracts at the moment so have lots of time available for scheduling check-ins and walks for local puppers. I can check-on and feed pets as needed, dispense necessary meds, walk them from your home, or load them in the car and take them to the Cataraqui Trail for longer walks / more active dogs.

“This was my first time using this service and my selection of Alexis was the best thing I did for myself and my dog. We met before hand with her beautiful dog Sonny, that has an amazing disposition and it was a great connection. Alexis and her family have a nice home that is very accommodating and comfortable for a dog if any size. I received photos and video updates. I felt relieved that my dog was in great hands and will not hesitant to have my dog spend time with Alexis and her family.”

“Charlie and his wife were great. We gave them a smaller ‘princess’ dog and a large high energy dog and they took them both in with no issue! Dogs seemed to have a good time! I would definitely board here again!”

“Koda had the best time, we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home, lol.”

“Bear had a wonderful stay with Beverly. Beverly was kind, responsive and the perfect match for Bear. She was extremely helpful and prepared for our dog's stay. Beverly's home is well appointed for dogs, with proper fencing and many walking trails nearby. We will definitely be booking with Beverly again.”

“Jenna is amazing! She was very accommodating and kept us updated with lots of pics on how Panda was doing during his stay. We highly trust and recommend Jenna as a host for the fur babies. We also really appreciate Jenna took our last-minute booking and always responded timely. Will definitely rebook with Jenna and recommend her to anyone.❤️”

About: I have several years of professional and independent pet care experience, including dog daycare, pet retail, dog walking, drop-ins, house sitting, overnight care and extended stays. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility for pets who benefit from having someone around throughout the day, and I’m especially interested in building relationships with regular clients. I previously worked in dog daycare where I cared for groups of up to 75 dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, crating, administering medications, puppy care, senior care and working with special-needs dogs who require additional attention or accommodations. I’m also trained in canine first aid and comfortable caring for pets with more involved routines. Through my previous work at Village Pets Boutique, I gained extensive knowledge of pet nutrition, supplements and natural health products. Before that, I worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart, giving me an even broader background in animal care and handling. I’m equally comfortable with cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my work at PetSmart as well as independent drop-ins, house sitting and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable staying in a client’s home for extended periods and frequently provide this type of care while clients are travelling. Animals have also always been a huge part of my life outside of work. I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and currently have two black Labs back home, Louie and Lenny. I bring a calm, capable and compassionate approach to pet care and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine. I currently work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daytime care, overnight sitting and extended stays, and I’m especially interested in finding regular clients who need consistent weekly care. My schedule can vary week to week, so feel free to message me about what you’re looking for! For house sitting, I’m very comfortable staying overnight or for longer periods and can often continue my normal workday from your home while keeping your pet company. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, especially when caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your usual feeding, walking, medication, crate, sleep and exercise routines and take the time to learn your pet’s individual habits, boundaries and personality. My professional daycare experience has made me very comfortable reading animal body language, recognizing stress or changes in behaviour and safely managing pets with very different temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with more specific routines or needs. When house sitting or staying overnight, I’m very respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is cared for while they’re away, not just their pet!

“Josée, We want to thank you so very much for taking care of Molly! This was the first time Molly had been away from home and our first time leaving her under another's care. The updates, pics and videos over the weekend were fantastic and greatly appreciated. We were able to see she was doing great and enjoying her "time" away with you, your family and in your home. We are very grateful for your care and attention to Miss Molly. Hoping that you also enjoyed her company! Thank you!”

“Zoey looked after my little Winnie over the holidays. She is a rescue that I have only had for 6 months and it quite attached to me, so I was a bit nervous to leave her for the first time. Zoey sent pics and updates and Winnie settled right in. Even brought her to work with her. She was great with my snuggly (borderline clingy, ha!) girl. Thanks, Zoey.”
