Dog Boarding Tay Valley

“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! ❤️”

“Daisy is so loved and well cared for by Nicole & Eddie. She also loves playing with her doggie friend Keyser. They have lots of fun together 😍”

“Mia made our family feel so comfortable when we left Eddy at her house. Her dog Bella is very sweet. We got lots of pictures of Eddy and Bella on their snowy walks side by side on the trails. Her kids were also excited to have an extra dog to love. Thank you Mia and family! We will use your service again!!”

About: I’ve had animals in my home for as long as I can remember and understand that pets are family. With over 20 years of professional caregiving experience, providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care comes naturally to me. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and affection, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, and pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve always had pets in my home and have years of hands-on experience providing loving, reliable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I understand the importance of consistency and will care for your pet as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced yard in the country but will also provide two walks a day and lots of playtime. Our pets are our family and it gives me joy to give them new experiences and bring them with me on adventures. All within the comfort levels of their parents of course.

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.

“Laura and her family were wonderful. They took Gryphon in over the holidays at a stressful time, for a dog who can be a bit unsure of unfamiliar surroundings and made him feel part of the family; safe and loved. We are so grateful to everything you did and will definitely have him back to stay!”

“Erin was fantastic with our two labs. She is patient and caring and we know they were in good hands while we were gone for two weeks. She was responsive to communication and provided updates, which increased our trust and confidence. We would not hesitate to leave our pups with her in the future.”

Maureen G.

“Zoey was wonderful! I boarded my huskyxgreyhound with her over four nights at her home. Very good with communication and planning, sent daily photos and updates, and paid close attention to my pup with lots of care. My pup was happy and well taken care of when i came to pick her up! I would definitely recommend Zoey for pet care, and will be booking with her again for sure.”

Ann-Alise K.

“Jenna is amazing! She was very accommodating and kept us updated with lots of pics on how Panda was doing during his stay. We highly trust and recommend Jenna as a host for the fur babies. We also really appreciate Jenna took our last-minute booking and always responded timely. Will definitely rebook with Jenna and recommend her to anyone.❤️”

About: My name is Samantha and I've been a lifelong lover of all creatures great and small! I am currently a mom to a 8 year old miniature schnauzer, but I've had a kitty or dog companion by my side my entire life. I'm new to Mississippi Mills and I would love to meet your pet. Friends in Ottawa have relied on me to check in on their fur babies, take them for walks, feed them dinner, or simply spend time with them! I'm very reliable, I work from home 4 out of 5 week days, have a car, am flexible and adaptive. I work from home 4 out of 5 days of the week and am typically available on evenings and weekends. If your pup likes other pups I can have them join in on my routine walks with my little schnauzer. If not, that's cool too! I'm always down for a solo walk. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your furry baby will be well taken care of! I can be trusted to do drop in visits, spend time petting, playing with, feeding or walking your baby.

“Sabrina provided lots of pictures and feedback. All seemed to go well. Would use her services again. Thank you.”

“Thank you Micheala, Luna had a great time, and we were so comfortable leaving her is your very safe hands. Now we have to make sure we keep up/reinforce the new techniques that you taught her. Luna will be looking forward to the next time.”

“Bunnie had a great time at Carrie's for the week. Carrie welcomed her in as if she were her own. Bunnie has separation anxiety, and Carrie accommodated this and administered her medication daily. Bunnie had a great time playing with Carrie's other dogs and enjoyed lots of time outside during her "getaway" from the city! I would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”
