Dog Boarding Merrickville-Wolford

“Kimberley watched my little Frances for the weekend and took such great care of her! She was considerate, provided lots of updates and I felt very much at ease that Fran was in good hands. I would recommend Kimberley as a sitter!!”

Samantha L.

“Another wonderful stay!! I can tell from the pictures she was spoiled rotten, and even had a swimming lesson. Looking forward to another few days later in the month.”

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

“Nicole and Eddie went above and beyond for our dog Teddy. They took great care of him and made sure we had lots of photos and videos. Looking forward to the next time Teddy gets to stay!”

“Kristin and Justin are awesome. They have looked after our girl Frankie twice. Both times she was spoiled and well socialized. She comes back to us a better dog. Thanks again and see you next time.”

Rick S.

“Our golden retriever, Willow, is so amazingly happy at Danielle's. So excited to see Danielle, she barely notices when I'm leaving. And she looks so relaxed when I come to pick her up. And both of them seem to adore Willow. They often have other dogs and manage Willow's dog-social anxieties well.”

Don L.

“Took my wild man for 2 nights and 3 days, he came back well fed and happy. Amazing care!”

Kim S.

“Manali and her family poured so much love onto Zeus on our most recent visit to Ottawa. He really felt comfortable there. Elsa, their dog, was so gentle and accomadating to Zeus. They were also very accomodating to allow me to pick him up for a walk when i missed him! I would gladly recommend Manali for anyone looking for a homely environment for their dog.”

“We had our dogs stay with Tanya during our hectic wedding weekend and her friendly and unobtrusive updates gave us the peace of mind we needed to focus on the event. Luna and Wall-E seem happy and healthy as ever and they don’t seem to’ve gotten themselves into too much trouble while we were away. Our thanks go out to Tanya for being so accommodating and contributing to the success of our celebration.”

“Johanna is a kind and incredibly reliable dog watcher who truly treats pets like family. Cosmo needs a bit of time to trust new people, and she gave him the space, calm energy & gentle reassurance he needed. We felt completely at ease knowing she respected his personality, made him feel safe and comfortable. He was relaxed, well‑fed and happy when we picked him up. We are very grateful and will happily book with her again.”

Daniele T.

“Clair was a great sitter for our dog. She sent pictures and updates regularly. She took him out on multiple walks a day. Would definitely recommend and will be considering her for future dog sitting needs.”

Melanie F.

“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”

Gabrielle A.

“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.”

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.

“Bronco LOVES going to see Lindsay and her family! He’s slightly obsessed with her little boy. 🤣 I can always relax knowing that he is being taken care of, and he comes home happy and not at all stressed.”

Patricia G.

“While I considerd "not dead or missing" to be successful for an online pet boarding service, our dog settled in quickly and seemed sad to part ways with her new friends at the end of the week. April also helped to manage a bit of an upset stomach and allergies through her visit which inspires confidence.”

Matthew H.

“Thank you for accommodating our last minute request! Moving our daughter to another city was a little less stressful knowing our canine friend was in good hands.”

Patricia R.

“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.”

Sue L.

“This was the second time Autumn looked after Remy, and the experience was excellent once again. I really appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay. Remy was clearly well cared for and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would definitely recommend Autumn to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Jacob B.

“Wonderful experience leaving Cheeko with Maria. She sent several photos throughout his stay to reassure me he was okay. Cheeko seemed so happy to be with her. I’d definitely leave him with her again.”
