Pet Boarding Otonabee-South Monaghan

“Mohina was a life saver for us. She took our pup in as an emergency board for us when we were stuck and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was an absolute pleasure to meet and her family is so kind and lovely as well. They treated my Rusty like one of their own. Coco and Chanel approved! I believe everything happens for a reason and I am so glad we met. We have found our new boarding spot for sure! Highly recommend. ❤️”

About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs and other pets from a young age. I like getting to know the unique qualities of each animal and enjoy providing an enriching environment full of activities for the active dog, or a quiet, calm space for the pets who take more time to settle in. Caring for, and socializing, puppies over a summer was one of the most memorable pet care times, as a family member was preparing to find homes for a litter. I'm currently off work for the summer and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets for overnight stays, walks, or drop in visits to your home. I have a fenced backyard and a park across the road with lots of walking trails around to accomodate all the needs or your furry friend. We do also have 1 friendly cat in the home.

“My dog Tulo had a great stay! I received lots of pictures from Esten which were much appreciated...Tulo looked very happy and at home! Will be booking with Esten again!”

“Dayna is fabulous. Our 4 year old stayed with her overnight and she was very easy to deal with. We like the fact she has her own dog who seems very chilled and whom our guy could have some playtime with. She sent us photos where we could see our guy was having a good time with them. We had a last minute change of plans for pick up and Dayna kindly helped us out. Will use again very soon!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I helped raise my childhood dog from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. Since I work remotely, I've also had the pleasure of caring for dogs for family and friends, and I always enjoy having a four-legged coworker during the day. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely in a flexible role, which allows me to easily adapt to your dog's regular routine and needs. Whether your pup is used to scheduled walks, specific mealtimes, frequent potty breaks, or extra playtime, I'm able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I'm home during working hours, your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while you're away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on a quiet one-acre property in the countryside, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. I'm also within walking distance of a great local park that dogs love exploring. My home is a spacious bungalow, so there's plenty of room for your pup to relax, play, and make themselves comfortable. Since everything is accessible on the main floor, it's also a great setup for senior dogs or those who aren't fans of stairs. If your dog is crate-trained, I have lots of space to accommodate their crate as well. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to—whether that's specific mealtimes, regular walks, play sessions, or just lots of attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

“Lisa was great She gave our Mackie a warm family atmosphere in her home and her dog and ours got along so feel it was like they were related. I have a feeling she spoiled him during his stay. She sent us pictures that prove this. Thanks Lisa and I would highly recommend her”

“Dana and Robert are amazing! They watched my two mini poms at their home while I was away for 9 days. I had a lot of anxiety as this was my first time using them, I have never been away from my poms this long and they both have major separation anxiety when I'm away and my one pom has severe medical issues that can be triggered by stress. It made me feel better meeting them, knowing they have lots of glowing reviews and that this is literally all they do. They both care for dogs full time and were so accommodating with me, following all my instructions to the tee. My dogs don't do great with other dogs, so they blocked off the whole week just for me so that it would just be my poms in their home which meant so much to me. They are on a raw food diet which required extra feeding steps and they had no issue with this. I told Dana to feel free to spam me with messages as it would make me feel better checking in on them when I need to. She didn't require any responses back that took me away from my family and vacation, but anytime I wanted to check in on them there was about 30 + messages for the day I could quickly skim through to have peace of mind, even detailing all bowel movements (part of an indicator of my pom with the medical issues was doing), if they ate all their food, them playing, their walks, and lots of cuddle time with Dana and Robert. My one pom in particular is wary of anyone outside our family and does not cuddle with others, but after the first day, he was cuddled right in with Dana and it was clear in the videos and pics that they were both very happy and enjoyed being there. Despite my one pom in particular being very co-dependent with me and his medical issues generally triggered by stress and change, he had no issues! It was such a relief finding Dana and Robert and I will be using them on all future trips and recommending them to all my family and friends!”

“Kasi was amazing! My family and I took a 10 day trip down to Florida. Kasi made sure that both myself and my pup felt comfortable before we went away. We did a meet and greet with my boy and her golden, and then we did a full day of doggy daycare. Kasi gave me daily updates and pictures. It was so great to see my boy having such a good time with her golden. I’m so happy we went with Kasi! I will definitely contact her again in the future!”

“Once again our two Shelties had a great stay at Marie’s. They get as much exercise as they want and in between enjoy the cuddles and couch time. On this visit Holly took a swing to Bob and even met some of the animals It is a great caring environment for them. I cannot say enough about how well cared for they are and how Marie accommodates their routines and needs. Look forward to having them “visit” again soon!”

About: From a very young age, I have always had a love of animals whether they had four legs or scales. Growing up I rode horses, had 2 dogs, and at points also had guinea pigs, bearded dragons, fish, and bunnies. However, my best buddy growing up was my Australian Shepherd, Shiloh. Shiloh was ultimately the reason growing up I found a passion for the outdoors and hiking. Spending as much time as possible either on walks around the neighbourhood, hiking through local trails, camping, cottaging, swimming, or at the dog park with my best buddy. As a dog walker/sitter, I understand that our animals are not just animals, but are also our family. They are our honorary family members that need to be loved, protected, and cherished along with giving them the best quality of life possible. Exercise and being outside and around nature is so critical to a dog having its best quality of life. With a flexible schedule, I can cater to your dogs needs and give them the exercise and outside time they need whether that's on a nature hike, or just a walk through your local neighbourhood. Having a car also allows me to get to your pooch wherever they may be in a timely manner, and take them to local parks if requested. I am ultimately a happy and warm individual who keeps their energy calm and who is happy to play with your pup, give them a good walk, or even practice reinforcing basic training that you've been working on with your pup. Whether that be reinforcing basic commands on walks or giving behavioral guidance. For those with rambunctious dogs, I am happy to run around and play with your dog or take them on long walks, along with feeling comfortable and calm with your pooch and being stern when necessary. As your dog's parent, my ultimate goal is to give you the comfort of knowing your dog is being well taken care of, while also giving your pooch a well-rounded and positive experience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to working with you, and your furry family member. Currently, my schedule is completely open to care for your pet on the terms that you need so that I can work around YOUR schedule. I can completely situate my schedule to your pets needs, and make sure that they get all the attention and care that is required. At my home, I currently have a 4 year old lab who loves people and other dogs. She is good with cats, and will be happy to play with your dog. For overnight visits or day visits, I am happy to visit your home where I will be respectful and will keep my phone on me if I ever need to be contacted. My apartment is currently situated in West-End Toronto, close to the waterfront, local trails, and a short distance to the beautiful high park. Animals that stay overnight here will be cared for and given the utmost respect as if they were my own animal. I will do all that I can to make sure your animal feels comfortable, loved, and having a good time so they are less likely to be sad when away from their owners/parents. I am happy to do things on your terms with any special requests or schedules being respected and followed. My parent's house is also a short distance away where they have a fenced-in backyard if your dog is interested in playing with their husky.

About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.

“Vishesh took care of my 1 year old Maine Coon Django for about a week. Django was well fed, played with regularly, and Vishesh sent me photos and updates to give me comfort as a pet parent. I’d recommend trusting your pet with Vishesh”

“Andrea was very great at communicating and Made sure both our dog and us were comfortable. Winston seemed to have a wonderful time, and was tired out from walks and adventures with Andrea. As long as Andrea will have us, we will certainly use her again!”

“Danielle was the PERFECT choice to watch our boy Taco while we had to attend an out of town wedding. She was a great communicator before and during his stay and kept this anxious mama up to date on how and what he was doing. She even camped out in the living room with him overnight so he would feel safe and secure. I could tell Taco was very comfortable there. I highly recommend Danielle as a sitter for your pet.”
