Doggy Day Care Mission

About: Hi I’m Jamie! I’m 35 and I currently do not have any pets as my beloved frenchie Mylo crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago. I have 15 years of dog care experience with age 8 weeks old all the way to seniors. I am a huge animal lover and I have taken part in wild life rescue as well as dog rescue. I also have extensive experience with French bulldogs and short nose breeds in particular as I have now been a dog mom to 3 of them and understand their unique care needs and how to be careful with them to prevent conditions like IVDD, heat stroke, allergies, and respiratory distress. I also have a lot of experience with puppies and potty training using only positive reinforcement methods. I don’t believe in “punishing” dogs for unwanted behaviour and will always treat your fur baby like family as they deserve to be treated. I take a calm, leadership role while also creating a connection with love and trust with all the animals I care for. I love to get outside and go for walks, go to the park, pup cups at Starbucks, and spend time playing with dogs in my care whether they are my fur babies or yours! I eventually will have another dog if my own when the time is right. Each one of my past dogs have all been loved so dearly and I understand how important our fur babies are to us pet parents. I promise to always care for them like they’re my own and always make them feel safe, secure, loved, and cared for. I only ever take 2 dogs at a time if they are from the same household as I don’t want to have too many dogs mixing together or not be able to give them the attention they all need. I am always home, so your pup will never be alone when in my care. I also have a lot of experience administering oral medications, so I am happy to care for dogs on medication. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Every morning I have a set routine of getting up early (usually when the dog I’m caring for chooses around 7:45-8:45am) and start the day with a potty break in the yard, followed by breakfast for myself and the pup in my care. After that we go for an on leash walk/outing at a park or trail, often followed by a trip to Starbucks for a hot chocolate and pup cup! After that we head home and have some quiet/cuddle time. Then it’s lunch time and another potty break time! Usually later in the afternoon we have some indoor play time. I usually feed the dog(s) in my care dinner around 5:30pm and we will go on a shorter neighborhood walk before it gets dark. I try to keep bedtime not too late so we can keep a routine. For me, pets are family and I want to make them feel very welcome and at home. At my home, I have a mostly fenced yard and thick bushes in areas without fence and live very close to a really nice park. I do have a large crate, but I typically only use them for car travel unless the pet parent requests their dog be crated at night while they sleep (which would be in my bedroom with me). I always give my absolute all to give excellent care to pets! Dogs have a very special place in my heart and it’s a privilege to have their company and their parents’ trust. I will always be with your pet while they’re in my care as I do not leave them home alone to go anywhere. So they will be out and about with me or at home with me. I also live with my mom who has been the absolute best dog nana my dogs could have ever asked for through the years. She is so gentle and so loving with dogs, and it’s great to have her join in on the walks and snuggle time at home with any dog(s) we are caring for.

“Baxter was very excited to see Heather again after our meet and greet a couple of months ago - he led me right to her door! Her dog and mine were good playmates and company. Baxter is fairly energetic since he's just 1 yr old so Heather ensured that he had some outdoor play time as well. I would definitely recommend Heather and will likely book her again.”

About: I've cared for dogs for over 20 years of my own. I am a big dog lover and enjoy the love and joy they bring. I have groomed and clipped nails for my own dogs. My family loves going for walks and playing at the park by our house which is a perfect place for a dog to run and play! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools her two boys. So there will be lots of time to play and cuddle with your little four legged friend. We love to be outside enjoying fresh air. We have a fenced backyard for bathroom breaks and tine outside. We have space for a crate if needed or we can place a bed in our room for your pup. We want to accommodate what's best for your dog so we're flexible in thoughts and ideas.

“We had a great experience! They were so caring with our dog — he warmed up to them right away. They took him for a walk, sent updates and photos, and kept us completely at ease. He was calm and happy the whole time. We’d definitely trust them again!”

“Brigitta was very kind, understanding and professional. She is keen with who knowledge about dogs as she has two of her own. Her home is spacious and has more than enough green space for the pups to run around! My dog really enjoyed his stay with Brigitta and was tired when he got home (super good sign!).”

“Carl does a great job with Zoe! He has a large backyard where Zoe can play and relax, and he is very comfortable with her and other dogs. She has taken a liking to him when I am away at work. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter. Zoe will continue to go to be with him for the foreseeable future.”

“I was a bit concerned when leaving my anxious dog with someone new but Denise was wonderful with Millie and even got her to eat something! Millie doesn’t trust easily, so it says a lot Millie would take treats from Denise. Denise sent me pics during Millie’s stay, and I felt so reassured she was in good hands. Thanks Denise!!”
