Pet Boarding Merrickville

“Daniel, Sarah & the kids are simply amazing!! We are repeated clients and I can’t say enough how much we appreciate the care and attention our dog receives at each stay! They are constantly sharing updates, which makes our trips more enjoyable just by knowing that our dog is also having a great time.”

“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.”

“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!”

“An excellent experience for our pup and us. You can immediately tell that Ruby and Gordon are warm, welcoming and completely at ease with pups. They were wonderful with Stella. This was our first time using Rover and we hope that Stella can go for future sleepovers with Ruby and Gordon.”

“Our dog has stayed with Kristina twice now. The latest visit was for 9 days. Although it had been months since her last visit, our dog Ruby, walked excitedly right up to Kristina’s house when we arrived. Kristina is excellent to communicate with and always quick to respond. She provided regular updates, pictures and kept Ruby busy. Ruby came home very happy. I also get the feeling that Kristina’s dog Jax is also a very good companion and made our dog’s time away from home easier to handle. I would highly recommend Kristina to others.”

“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!”

“We were concerned about leaving our dog with people as our last experience with a kennels didn’t go well. We met with Janice and Renee prior to booking and were reassured. They are an amazing family and our dog found his home away from home. Janice and Renee sent pics and notes every day and this was wonderful. We can’t think of anyone else we would leave our dog with. They only let us put 5 stars but we would give them 10!!! Highly recommend this great family.”

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.

“Every time Nelly goes to Jacqueline and Jamie’s, she is treated so well and cared after with love! She gets her play time with the other dogs, lots of cuddles, and we always appreciate the photo and video updates they send. These are the many reasons why we will always let Jacqueline and Jamie look after Nelly on a monthly basis, she is already excited to go back again!”

“Michelle and her family were absolutely great with Louis 😊 I had no worries at all while I was out of town. We got picture updates throughout the day. I would definitely be rebooking! Thank you again!”
