Doggy Day Care Saint-Léonard

“Would recommend to everyone. I had multiple pictures and updates during the day and my dog seemed so happy. He was walked, fed, and tired by the time I picked him up.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm in the Gaspesie but have called Montreal home for 13 years now. Getting to take care of pets is one of the great privileges of my life, and I'd love to shower your dog or cat with love and attention. I've been pet-sitting, walking and doing drop-ins independently for about 6 years now, and I have experience with puppies and kittens. From cuddles to walks in the park, along the water, time spent sunbathing and nearby hikes, let me know what your pet would enjoy, and I'd be happy to keep them occupied. I'm a writer who works from home. My job isn't stressful or fast-paced, so I'm able to give your pet the full attention they deserve. I am home a majority of the day, so your pet will never need to be alone for long. I have a spacious two-floor home, a fenced yard, and a park across the street. There are three friendly cats and one friendly small dog in the house. All of them are well socialized with other animals.

“Très belle première expérience avec Laura-Marlène! Très gentille :)”

About: Bonjour, Gioconda et moi vivons avec Olivia, notre Labrador-retriever de 2 ans et demi. Gioconda, en plus de s’être occupée de chiens tout au long de sa vie, a fait du bénévolat pendant plusieurs années auprès d’organismes de protection des animaux, en recueillant des chiens abandonnés, leur administrant des soins et les aider à trouver une famille. De mon côté, depuis mon enfance, j’ai toujours été entouré d’animaux à la maison, que ce soit des chiens ou chats et même pendant quelques années lorsque nous avons emménagés dans une fermette, de quelques poules, lapins, moutons et un petit cochon. Le bien-être et la sécurité des animaux que nous accueillons sont pour nous primordiaux et constituent un principe avec lequel nous ne transigeons pas. Au cours d’une journée ordinaire, nous effectuons 4 balades dans le parc juste en face de chez nous, pendant environ 30 minutes chacune : le matin en se réveillant, le midi, vers 17h-18h et enfin avant d’aller se coucher. Nous allons aussi de temps en temps, particulièrement la fin de semaine, au parc à chien situé dans un autre parc à 15 minutes de marche. Notre appartement dispose d’un large balcon en arrière pour profiter du soleil, un grand espace de vie et des lits/canapés sont mis à disposition des chiens qui viennent nous visiter pour qu’ils puissent se sentir en sécurité et se reposer. Nous vivons juste en face d’un parc municipal dans lequel nous effectuons les différentes balades quotidiennes. Nous faisons du télétravail et nous nous assurons qu’il y ait toujours une personne à la maison pour s’occuper des chiens et qu’ils ne manquent de rien. Il est important pour nous de prévoir une rencontre préalable, afin que votre chien nous connaisse et rencontre Olivia pour qu’il puisse se sentir à l’aise lorsqu’il viendra à la maison.

“Sarah s’est très bien occupée de Uta, disponible toute la journée. Il s’est très bien entendu avec Mocha, la chienne de Sarah. Malgré la neige et le temps, elle l’a emmené se promener quand même, et ne s’est pas uniquement contentée de son jardin! Très apprécié. Je recommande et n’hésiterais pas dans le futur!”

About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive environment I provide. I grew up in a home that regularly rescued and fostered dogs, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs has always been part of my life. We always had at least two dogs in the house at a time, and I’ve continued that into adulthood with my own rescues - Rose, who I’ve had since she was 1 (now 14), and Baby, who has been with me for 6 years. I’m often told I have a calm, easy energy that dogs naturally trust. I’m especially patient and understanding with anxious dogs and behavioral sensitivities, while still creating a relaxed and stable environment. I work from home, so dogs are never left unsupervised and always have consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is cozy, calm, and dog-focused, with a large fenced backyard for fetch, sunbathing, and safe outdoor time. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize making them feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my days around caring for animals. My own dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, so walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, play, cuddles, and supervision are already built into my routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where animals can relax, feel safe, and settle into a comfortable rhythm. Weekly, I prioritize keeping a clean and pet-friendly home and making sure animals get both mental stimulation and downtime depending on their personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more anxious and reserved, I’m attentive to helping them feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. Safety is always my top priority when caring for dogs in my home. I have two friendly rescue dogs who are calm, social, and well accustomed to sharing space with other animals. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, personality, and boundaries. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs are supervised closely and never left unattended outdoors. My home is ground level and has a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, fetch, bathroom breaks, and relaxing in the sun, and all yard time is monitored. Inside the home, I use tools like baby gates when needed to create separate spaces for rest, decompression, feeding, or quieter introductions. Because I work from home, I’m present throughout the day to supervise interactions, maintain routines, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to create a cozy, low-stress environment where dogs can settle in comfortably and feel at home.

“Max was getting very anxious when he sees that we are getting ready to head out and doesn't touch his food. Misa took care of Max and took hom for walks. Max looked happy and he ate as well at her place. Her 2 dogs are also very friendly and accommodating to other dogs.”

About: (English version below!) J’adore les animaux! Si je pouvais posséder un super pouvoir, je choisirais de pouvoir les comprendre parfaitement, afin qu’ils puissent toujours avoir des interactions agréables avec moi ☺️ J’ai suivi le cours de language canin à la SPCA de Montréal, ainsi que leur cours d’hygiène et biosécurité en refuge. J’ai été bénévole là-bas en tant que promeneuse de chiens et foyer d’accueil. J’adore m’occuper des animaux de mes ami.e.s! J’ai aussi travaillé à une animalerie il y a quelques années, j’étais responsable des oiseaux et des rongeurs 🐁🦜🤗 Je pense que mon dévouement envers le bien être des animaux à ma charge font partie des qualités qui font de moi une bonne gardienne d’animaux, ainsi que le respect et la grande curiosité que j’ai pour eux, ce qui m’aide à apprendre et m’améliorer chaque jour. Au plaisir de rencontrer votre boule de poil! Vlanie 🌸 IMPORTANT: Veuillez prendre note que je ne peux pas accepter d’animaux bruyants et/ou destructeurs dans mon domicile. __________________________________ I love animals! If I could choose one special power it would be to understand them perfectly, in order for them to always have pleasant interactions with me 😊 I took canine language training at the Montreal SPCA, along with their course on biosecurity and hygiene in shelters. I used to volunteer as a dog walker and a foster home. I love offering my help to care for my friends’ pets, and I used to work at a pet store a few years ago; I was responsible for the rodents and birds 🐁🦜🤗 I think what makes me a good pet sitter is how devoted I am to the well-being of the animals I care for, along with my deep curiosity and respect for animals, which makes me able to learn more and improve everyday. I can’t wait to meet your fluff ball! Vlanie 🌸 PLEASE READ: Please note that I am not allowed to have loud or destructive pets in my apartment. FRANÇAIS: Je fais du gardiennage d’animaux et des promenades de chiens à temps partiel. J’adore m’occuper des mêmes animaux à long terme, car j’ai l’occasion d’apprendre à les connaître davantage et former une belle complicité avec eux. Un autre avantage est que ça fait moins mal quand c’est le temps de dire au revoir, car je sais qu’on sera réunis très bientôt 🤗 ENGLISH: I do pet sitting and dog walking part time. I love taking care of the same pets over the long term, because I have the opportunity to get to know them better and form a solid trust bond with them. It’s also not as painful when it’s time to say goodbye, because I know we’ll see each other very soon 🤗 FRANÇAIS: Je vérifie si l’animal a certaines habitudes qui pourraient lui nuire (par exemple, manger les choses à terre lors des promenades), puis je modifie l’environnement et/ou je m’assure de garder un œil sur l’animal, de façon à éviter qu’il/elle puisse se mettre en danger ou endommager des choses. Pour les visites et gardes à domicile, j'apprécierais être informée de toute infestation actuelle ou récente dans la maison. ENGLISH: I check to see if the animal has certain habits that could be harmful to him/herself or his/her environment (for example, eating things on the ground when going for walks), then I modify the environment and/or I make sure to keep an eye on the animal, so that he/she cannot endanger him/herself or damage anything. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’d appreciate being notified of any current or recent infestations in the home.

“Wow super ! Merci beaucoup”

About: 🐾 Nous sommes une famille avec 2 ados de 12 et 15 ans qui adorons les animaux 🐾 Voici les services que nous proposons : Gardiennage de chiens : Nous habitons un bas de plex à Rosemont, avec un grand patio et un jardin arboré, qui donne sur une ruelle. Nous gardons uniquement un chien à la fois afin de lui donner le maximum d'attention. Nous avons un chat qui s'appelle Mitaine. Elle est très gentille et pas du tout agressive. Nous sommes à 5 minutes à pieds du parc à chien du parc Beaubien donc si votre chien aime y aller, vous pouvez être certain que nous y serons régulièrement. Nous travaillons essentiellement de la maison donc votre chien sera très rarement seul. Promenade de chiens : Nous sommes disponibles également pour promener votre chien en journée ou en soirée, en fonction de vos horaires. Promenades de 30 minutes à 1h en fonction des besoins de votre chien. Chats : Nous ne pouvons pas garder de chats chez nous car nous en avons un et les chats qui ne se connaissent pas se tolèrent assez mal entre eux :) mais si vous partez en vacances n'hésitez pas à nous contacter. Nous pourrons passer les nourrir et nous en occuper directement chez vous en votre absence. Au plaisir d'échange avec vous. N'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un petit message pour vous présenter, vous et votre chien, sa routine etc. Et n'hésitez pas si vous avez des questions. Remarque : pour ce qui est du gardiennage chez nous, nous souhaitons garder uniquement des chiens de plus d'un an, propres, stérilisés, qui s'entendent bien avec les chats ou les ignorent, qui n'abîment pas le mobilier ni les affaires, et sans aucune agressivité afin de préserver la sécurité de nos enfants et de notre chat. Comme nous avons des voisins, il est également important pour nous d'avoir des chiens qui ne jappent pas. Je suis travailleuse autonome et mon chum partiellement en télétravail. Nous sommes donc quasiment tous les jours a la maison et disponible pour nous occuper de vos animaux et les promener. J'ai un patio fermé et un jardin clôturé, que je peux même fermer a clé. Votre chien sera donc en totale sécurité. Nous irons le promener souvent dans la ruelle, au parc, etc. Le parc à chiens du parc Beaubien est à 5 min a pied donc si votre chien aime ça, nous pourrons y aller tous les jours, il est très agréable et les chiens y ont toujours beaucoup de fun.

“Thank you to Tiago and Sarah for helping us out during Montreal trip with Freddy. He has been very hesitant to stay in rental without us, so they helped us a lot to have a day without him and enter places where dogs are not allowed. Both Tiago and Sarah looks like very kind and friendly people, sent us many updates and videos , special mention to Shady who completely matched Freddy’s personality and they played all the time. We will definitely use their services again during our next Montreal trip!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience as a Chihuahua breeder and availability to give them consistent love and attention as a homemaker. I care for dogs of all ages and I'm comfortable handling situations that are less common for the average pet sitter. Over the years, this has given me a strong understanding of dog health and behavior. I also have veterinary knowledge, keep a first-aid kit on hand, and provide calm, consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. As a homemaker and breeder, my days naturally revolve around caring for dogs; feeding, supervision, routines, and quality time. This allows me to be fully present and provide calm, consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment. I follow routines carefully, supervise interactions, keep basic pet health supplies on hand, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“I had a great experience with Daniela! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while i was away. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.”
