Dog Boarding in Petawawa

“Melissa is a caring and sweet person who took wonderful care of our girl for a couple of days. She was very accommodating and responsive and has an obvious love for animals. We will definitely bring Gwen back to Melissa again if we go out of town and need a pet sitter!”

“We brought our duck toller to Sherrys place and it is a dog heaven. Backyard was perfect for dogs to play in and both Sherry and her husband were so welcoming and welcomed Charlie into their space with open arms. Could not recommend her enough and we will for sure be bringing our dog back. Even sent us pictures of our dog having the best time.”

“Tyler has cared for Luna on 2 separate occasions now and she seems to really like going with him and his family! I’ve booked him again. Thanks”

“Sarah and Karine are amazing. I’m fairly sure Georgia (our Anatolian shepherd) would move in with them if it was possible. They are incredibly accommodating and so down to earth. They had no problem extending our stay by a day because of flight delays. They never hesitated to send videos and pics of our girl and always kept me updated. Thank you both for the easiest and best Rover experience ever!”

“So I think that Stephanie is a great pet caregiver for many reasons. First, she already has pets of her own that she takes amazing care of. One of her dogs had a condition in which she needed to be feed by hand and Stephanie did it every time she was hungry. Also, she used to be a foster home for dogs waiting to be adopted. She took care of every dogs like they were hers. I definitely think she is a caring and loving person and she would be perfect for this service.”

“I enjoyed receiving photos regularly from Tiffany. All the photos showed us our dog was happy and taken care of. Loved that our dog got along with their dog, Georgia. Would definitely recommend her services.”

About: Your Pups home away from home. I’ve been dog watching since I was 14, from puppy’s to elderly pups. If your dog loves water my place is perfect, I have a dog pool in a fully fenced in yard. I love to keep your furry friend simulated, while going for walks we practice simple commands and are rewarded with treats. Lick pads and Kong’s are used daily for mental stimulation. I am currently a stay at home dog mom! With a very open and flexible schedule to work around your needs! With daily walks and mental stimulation for your furry friend! I have a fully fenced in yard with a friendly male dog to keep your dog company. My dog is crated when left alone, I have extra crates to use if your dog needs a safe place when sleeping/left alone. Every animal has different needs, and I am willing to meet your furry baby’s requirements!!

“Bree loves dogs and takes pet boarding seriously. She enthusiastically showed me the place where my pet would spend time, explained her routine and practices, and also updated me at regular intervals. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, building a deep understanding and love for their unique personalities and needs. My experience includes volunteering with several dog rescues, where I provided care, training, and support for dogs of all breeds, including those with high needs. This hands-on work has given me the skills to handle dogs with diverse temperaments, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Working from home allows me the flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care for pets throughout the day. Whether I'm creating jewelry or painting with watercolors on my porch, pets are always a part of my peaceful routine. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddles fit seamlessly into my schedule, ensuring pets feel loved and engaged. My weekly rhythm allows for consistent care, whether it's a midday check-in, evening stroll, or extended stays. Caring for pets complements my lifestyle perfectly, as their presence brings joy and balance to my creative days. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize creating a safe and familiar environment for them. I spend significant time in their space, often working from their home during the day to provide consistent companionship. Pets thrive on routine, so I ensure their feeding, play, and exercise schedules remain as close to their usual patterns as possible. By maintaining their daily rhythm and being a calming, familiar presence, I help promote their psychological safety and well-being. In my home, pets are a part of my daily life and come with me everywhere. We enjoy alternating between indoor and outdoor time, ensuring a balance of relaxation and activity. There's a beautiful lake nearby with a gentle, scenic walk to the shore, perfect for a peaceful stroll. While I’m not an adventure hiker, I love slow, enjoyable walks that allow pets to explore and engage with their surroundings at a calm, comfortable pace. My home provides a nurturing and tranquil environment where pets feel like family.

“Oz was amazing with my dog Orion. He boarded him for two days and never once did I worry about his care. He’s very knowledgeable, kind and timely with updates. He really understands dogs well.”
