Dog Boarding Smiths Falls

“Nicole and Eddie were wonderful with Daisy. They gave her lots of loving attention, took her on many walks with their dog, Keyser. They also took her to the pet store and had other activities planned for her during her stay. Keyser and Daisy get along well and are a good match for each other. We felt very confident leaving Daisy with Nicole and Eddie while we were on vacation, and loved the photos they sent us showing Daisy was having lots of fun.”

“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”

“This was Timon’s third time spending time with Lynda and her wonderful dogs, and it was his first overnight stay. He was so happy and comfortable—it was clear from the photos and videos Lynda shared that he had an amazing time! Lynda went above and beyond, not only taking great care of Timon but also giving him a thoughtful gift. He absolutely loves the toy and the chewing bones she gave him! We’re so grateful for Lynda’s care and attention, and Timon is definitely looking forward to his next stay with her. Thank you so much, Lynda!”

“I honestly don’t even know where to start with how incredible this experience was. I found this dog sitter last minute on Rover, and from the very first message, they went above and beyond in every possible way. I have two very high-energy dogs, and leaving them is never something I take lightly—but she, her husband, and their kids made me feel completely at ease. Not only were they unbelievably accommodating and flexible, but they were also so genuinely kind, warm, and generous. They treated my dogs like part of their family. It wasn’t just “watching” them—they were loved, played with, and cared for in a way that honestly exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Her kids adored my dogs, and it showed in every update and every interaction. What truly stood out was how much they went out of their way to help me. They kept my dogs longer than expected without charging anything extra, just out of kindness. That level of generosity is rare, and it meant so much to me. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pets—someone who will treat them like their own—I cannot recommend Justin, Kristen and her family enough. I am beyond grateful to have found them. Thank you again for everything—you are truly amazing. ❤️”

“She is an excellent dog sitter. Our fur baby looked so happy ands felt right at home. Hii sent us pics and videos regularly everyday which made us happy and so relieved that Leo was in such a good care. Definitely recommend her and will book again.”

“We are thrilled to have a go-to Rover near beautiful Merrickville, where we sometimes spend the weekend. Now, we're able to send our dog to have a blast with Kayla and her dog while we roam the shops, cafes, and restaurants. Kayla was prompt, professional, and friendly in her communication and service, and she took great care of our dog. He was smiling extra big in all of the photos she sent us throughout the day. We will be reaching out to here again in future, and recommend her to others.”

“Thank you so much! Everything went really well, great communication throughout, and your feedback about his nighttime anxiety was very helpful. It definitely gave me something to think about for our next trip.”

About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.

“Ashley was absolutely amazing from meet and greet all the way to pickup! Maple had an amazing time and would definitely recommend to anyone! Ashley sends lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the stay which was truly a treat!”

“Danielle was awesome and took such great care of my rescue dog Jasper. She spoiled him and made him feel at home, I think he was sad to come home. Jasper settled right in with Danielle and her family. Super quick response time and very accommodating for my last minute request. Highly recommended, I will definitely send Jasper back again!”

“We are so grateful for Lindsay and her family for taking great care of our Maisie girl! It was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog for a few nights while we were out of town. We felt so at ease the whole time and received updates and photos throughout the sitting. Maisie looked so happy in the photos we received and I’m sure she felt at ease as well!”

Caitlin S.

“Minjie provided a wonderful home for our pup while we were away. We go daily updates and pictures. If you’re considering booking here, I highly recommend!”

Amy H.

“I can’t recommend Lei enough! We started with a meet and greet near her place at the park. She was calm and super friendly. She asked all the right questions regarding my pup - what he likes, doesn’t like, his schedules, routines etc - all questions that indicate that she has his best interest at heart. Throughout my pup’s stay, she sent an abundance of updates with pictures. Ollie seemed super comfortable and well taken care of. So much so that I can tell he misses her now that he’s home with us! I will be picking Lei every single time from this point forward.”

“Manali and her family poured so much love onto Zeus on our most recent visit to Ottawa. He really felt comfortable there. Elsa, their dog, was so gentle and accomadating to Zeus. They were also very accomodating to allow me to pick him up for a walk when i missed him! I would gladly recommend Manali for anyone looking for a homely environment for their dog.”

Vin N.

“Apollo had such an amazing stay with Daniel & Sarah! They were very communicative and provided lots of photos with updates every day. They were great at giving him lots of exercise and excitement with ball fetching and playtime, and provided such a loving house to stay at while I was out of town! I would definitely recommend as an awesome rover!”

Ian C.

“Our first time using Rover. Found Michelle and we feel so lucky! She sent tons of updates and pics. Super attentive with our pup and he looks so happy and loved. We will definitely rebook with Michelle in the future. Big bonus was no kids and no other pets as our pup is only 6 months and still learning to interact with humans and pets. This was a perfect fit!”

Melanie L.

“Our dog was very comfortable and happy during his stay. Emma took great care of him and made sure all his needs were met. We’re so glad to have found a place where he feels safe and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
