Dog Daycare in Owen Sound

“Dropped off my dog for a couple hours. We’re not from the area and wanted to meet family for a lunch. We picked him up, happy as could be! It’s hard to leave your dog with strangers, but they asked good questions and made me feel comfortable. They had a big property and took our dog for a walk almost right away. Would highly recommend, and if in the area will use again! Thank you so much!”

“Aletta is a professional and caring pet sitter. She is a mom to a stunning Nova Scotia Duck Toller, Huey, who is incredibly well trained, well groomed and properly socialized. I have trusted not only Aletta with my dogs but also Huey. Aletta is very knowledgeable on training tactics, dogs needs and how to properly care for them. You won’t be disappointment with Aletta and her services. Your dog may even come back to you with a new trick or skill! I highly recommend her and Huey as your next pet sitter.”

“This dog loving, active, responsible and kind woman would be such a great addition to you and your doggy’s life! With her energy, enthusiasm and passion for our four legged friends, Ruth could not be a better choice if you are looking for someone to get your pup out and about for some fresh air and exercise! I would highly recommend Ruth for all dog walks, long and short.”

“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and so communicative. This was the first time Rosie stayed with someone she didn’t know, and we instantly felt comfortable leaving her with Jennifer. We also appreciated the updates and photos she sent during Rosie’s stay! We will definitely call upon Jennifer’s services again!”

“Madison and her husband Kyle have boarded our dog Angel for the last 6 years. Angel is dog and human reactive and for this reason it is very hard for us to find some one who a) has the knowledge and experience to keep Angel safe b) is willing to board her due to her behavioral issues. With Kyle's training background and Madison's clinic/daycare experience we know that in their care Angel will always be safe and well cared for. We joke that there are only 6 people in the world Angel likes and Madison and Kyle are the top of that list. They are very special people and if your dog is lucky enough to board with them they will be in the best hands.”

“Justine is a kind fun-loving person with a natural connection with animals. I am always impressed with her ability to have the animals in her care ready for her Commandant. She is a great animal caregiver because I am always relieved leaving my loved pets with someone I full heartedly trust and respect.”

“Cynthia is great and a very attentive doggy person. Her home is perfectly set up for caring for small dogs. Leo loved his time there.”

About: Enjoy dogs with lots of energy or old dogs that need that extra care. I have a large backyard & close to local walking trails Monday to Friday. Weekends will be determined based on schedule. All care will be done in my home. Hope to see you soon all you puppers! We have an invisible fence (collar required) but have a big backyard for leashed walks and potty time. Local trails are also close to the house.

“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Rachel and Robert! We felt confident leaving them for the day after seeing the property and discussing their rescue work with other animals. They kept us updated on how the pups were doing and made sure our senior girl with a back problem didn’t take the stairs. Highly recommend and will certainly use again if we are in the area!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Kaitlin! She has been taking amazing care of my dog while I’m at work — every day I come back to a very happy and well-loved pup. I receive regular photos and updates that give me complete peace of mind. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals and treats them like her own. Reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive — I fully trust her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”

“Thanks again for watching Simon. He enjoyed the outdoor space and relaxing environment, and walks!! Will reach out again when we need another day.”

“Agnes & Donald took care of Luma for two days during our stay in Bruce Peninsula area . Luma is a very high energy dog and demands lots of attention and exercise. She had so much fun during her stay and she was really calm at the end of the day. We could enjoy our trip with peace of mind knowing she was in safe hands. Thanks so much Agnes & Donald for everything! Agnes & Donald are really nice prople! Highly recommended.”

“Nikol was very pleasant and quick to return messages. I was kept updated as to how our dog was acclimating which made leaving him less stressful. Nice property set back in the woods which is great for walking. Very accommodating for drop off and pick up times. We will use Nikol’s services again!”

About: I grew up with many pets in my house - 3 dogs and 2 cats! I went for daily walks with the dogs in my local ravine growing up. Each dog having it's own very unique personality and quirks provided me with a breadth of experience. I believe obedience and rules are the foundation of a well behaved dog. As well, a well exercised dog is a well behaved dog. Structure is very important and I will always make a dog work for their treat. I try to continue any on-going training for the dogs I am walking or sitting. I was finally able to get my own dog as an adult - who I have had since 2021. I rescued my dog, Arlo, when he was ~4 months, and have given him a loving home since! I worked with a trainer when I got to him and learned a lot about dog (and human) behaviours. I am home during the days with a flexible schedule, so walks at any time of the day can work. Generally a morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon walk are the preferred times. I currently have daily mid-day regulars that I walk. Depending on the dogs personality and suitability with other dogs, I walk with a pack or individually. If a dog is staying with me, I take them on a walk first thing if their owner hasn't already done so. This way, they are starting on the best foot forward. I have a dog at home, so I do an intro of the dogs on 'neutral' territory, there is a laneway and Bruce trail across from so I ask that their owner does a quick walk with the dogs and myself. I do potty breaks every 0-2 hours, either to go on a short walk, or ball throw. I also do 5-10 minute training sessions to keep the dogs entertained and stimulated. I also ask that the dogs bed and an article of clothing of the owners comes with them, so they have a space that is their own and familiar. This will help the dog settle in. Favourite toys or treats are also recommended.

“Ruth did above and beyond! Clean nice home and very nice dogs as well:) I will most definitely go back!”

“So happy that we came across this great App otherwise we wouldn't of known about Jessica. We feel very comforted knowing that our fur babies are being well taken care of. Thank you Jessica. We look forward to our vacation now knowing we won't have to worry about Holly & Sky.”

“Grace did a great job taking care of our three boys. A cat and two dogs. She plays constantly with them and even integrates fun into their walk routine. She has socialized our dogs into the new community and Biscuit and Bean have many new friends due to her efforts. All of the boys enjoy Grace and her work keeping them happy and healthy pets.”

“Great experience. Nicole was great to communicate with and very good with my dog. Highly recommend.”

“I recently had Lyn look after our border collie while I was away and I am totally confident that if our dog could talk she would say she didn’t want to come home, but would rather stay with Lyn. Lyn loves animals and has tons of experience, especially with dogs.”

“Ashley was so great with my dog Cas! I had a late cancellation and needed a sitter fast! Ashley replied right away! she kept me updated on my dog while he was in her care, which was a huge relief to me. I’ve never left my dog with anyone but family before and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog will be with her and her furry babies all day! I completely recommend her as your fur baby’s sitter. If you’re looking for kind, knowledgeable and a supportive caretaker and friend for your furry family member than look no further than this Great gal!”
