Pet Boarding Merrickville

“Mirian was so caring and wonderful with Louie. He had a great time for three days while we were on a trip. Louie is not food motivated so it can be a little tricky sometimes to feed him in a new environment, but she figured out a way to make him feel comfortable. Thank you Mirian!”

“Joselyn and Jason were amazing from the moment we meet them. You could tell how confortable our dogs were around them and with their family. Their own dogs are simply adorable and extremely friendly! What a bonus! Our pups felt no fear at all towards them! Joselyn made my fur babies felt like home. She arranged a chair by the window so my almost 13 years old “Summer” would be happy and avoid missing her daily nosy routine lol. While they also let “pixie” just to be Pixie! It was great receiving pictures of our doggies! They always seemed relaxing and happy ! Thank you guys for caring so much; for feeding them their special homemade food and for making sure they received the love and attention they are use to receive at home. We are very appreciative and grateful 🐶🐶 Thanks!!!”

“Gus just had his second stay with Lei and the bond they have is beautiful. It is obvious that they understand each other and have a connection. Gus is very happy and feels safe when in her care. We are so lucky to have found someone who loves our Gus as much as we do.”

“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.”

“Kim and her family were amazing. Our dog was treated with care and as a member of their family. We were kept up to date with how he was adjusting and feel she went above and beyond in her care for our dog. Will definitely be using her again. We finally found a safe haven for our dog when we go away.”

“Daniel and Sarah were great with our dogs. This was the first stay and we felt very comfortable leaving Paf and Malina for an overnight stay. We received several photos and the next day when I went to pickup dogs they were calm and and well taken care of. We will be back for sure!”

“We can’t thank the Kristen and Shady enough for the amazing care they provided Ollie during our trip! They welcomed him into their home with such warmth and kindness, treating him like one of their own. When we picked him up, Ollie looked so happy and pleasantly tired, a clear sign he had a fantastic time filled with play and affection. Their attentiveness and love for animals gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for their generosity and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you for making Ollie’s stay so special!”

About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.

“Rodrigo was amazing and we felt very comfortable leaving our Winston with him and his family. We recieved regular updates and really awesome photos, which were super appreciated. He and his family clearly care a lot about dogs and are experienced in taking care of them. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Winston with Rodrigo again 🙂”

“First time using Rover.com, and Mitchell and Jess are great, very friendly and very responsive. They were able to help me out with an urgent booking request after my original sitter canceled last minute. They care about animals. My dog had a great time at their pet friendly home. I was kept updated with how my dog was doing with messages and pictures regularly. Would gladly ask for their services again in the future.”

“Erika and her family were great with dakota! Dakota is a difficult dog sometimes and they were able to accommodate and gave him what he needed.”

“Laura and her family were wonderful. They took Gryphon in over the holidays at a stressful time, for a dog who can be a bit unsure of unfamiliar surroundings and made him feel part of the family; safe and loved. We are so grateful to everything you did and will definitely have him back to stay!”

“Buggles had a great stay with Karen and her husband. He stayed with them for two weeks and came home happy. Karen was very responsive during his stay and also sent some very nice updates and photos. We felt great knowing he was getting lots of love while we were away. We highly recommend Karen and look forward to future stays.”
