Doggy Day Care Wakefield

“Bruna is a fantastic caretaker. My pup goes there once a week to socialize and exercise, and comes home a happy, exhausted boy. The pack-walks at the park have made an obvious improvement in his behaviour at the dog park when he's there with us, and he's grown more confident around new dogs. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.”

About: I grew up having dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting, walking, boarding and cat sitting for my friends pets. I'm a dedicated and calm animal lover. Pet care is a already part of my daily routine. I care for my cat every day, making sure she’s fed and gets the attention she needs. I’m used to scheduling my time around pets’ routines, whether that means visits, playtime, or medication when needed. I own my home, so visiting pets will be in a calm and safe environment. I make sure they have plenty of attention and never leave them unattended during visits. If a visiting kitty needs their own space, I can provide a quiet, separate room.

“Natasha was great with Taco, responded fast, provided updates during the day and was very accommodating. I highly recommend Natasha and look forward to booking with her again :)”

About: My husband (Scott) and I have had dogs (and other animals) our entire lives. Over the years, we have consistently opened our home to rescues, strays, fosters, friend/ family pets, and have even socialized 4 litters of feral kittens for the Humane Society. Scott also has close to 15 years’ worth of experience with the Humane Society as a cruelty investigator. In 2024, we had to say farewell to both our aged cat and dog . We so miss our four-legged companions and are now ready to share our home again by spoiling your furry friends with exercise, cuddles and play time. So, doing so through Rover seemed like a natural fit. We both work from home, giving us the flexibility to pamper, exercise and stimulate your pooch! If our energy wanes at all, rest assured our 9-year-old son is always ready to step in with his endless enthusiasm 😊 Our extensive experience with senior animals, has also provided us with skills in administering medication, attending to spinal injuries, elderly pets, specialized food preparation etc. Having owned a rescue dalmatian, two rescue miniature dachshunds, and a 3-legged hound, we are also very familiar how to accommodate special needs, diets, injuries etc. Most importantly, we have learned that each furry friend has their own unique personality! 😊 A quick note about compatibility: To ensure a safe, calm, and positive environment for everyone—especially our returning clients—dogs staying with us must be non-aggressive toward other dogs. If your dog requires one-on-one care or has challenges with dog interactions, this may still be possible by arrangement, but an additional fee may apply to fairly account for the extra supervision and management required. We’re always happy to discuss your dog’s needs openly to determine the best fit. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and spoil it like it is our own (and we will send you pictures to prove it)! Melody & Scott We work from home daily and make a point of walking at least once a day, no matter the weather (with or without a four-legged friend). Our house is steps away from the Chelsea rails to trails so we have miles of fun trails to explore together! Our home has multiple water stations, dog beds, and dog toy stations. Play time, brushing and cuddles are the highlight of the day in our home, so we make time for these regularly throughout the day!! We love to play with our furry friends!

“Lucas and Thyara are great sitters! They were very attentive and I got frequent updates. Oreo enjoyed their beautiful home and playing in their yard. I definitely recommend them!”

“Thank you so much Winnie for taking such great care of my little Teacup. She clearly had a great time based on the pictures. :) We will see you again soon! :)”

“River had a great stay with Kristina and came home happy and pooped! She loved playing with Kristina's fur-babies and running around in the big backyard. Kristina took great care of her, teaching her some new tricks + checked in regularly with updates and pictures and videos. 10/10! Will book with Kristina again.”

About: I have taken care of my precious Maggie for the past 15 years, before she crossed the rainbow bridge <3 Dog sitting is such a great way to meet other dog souls and I am so ready to give some love and take care of a pet. I absolutely love dogs and their sweet presence. I enjoy going on walks in the forest nearby (various Gatineau Park trails), play with them, take care of them and relax with them (on our sunny deck outside, in a hamac, on our couch). I am comfortable with teaching baisc skills to dogs or maintaning their skills. I use positive reinforcement and yummy treatos. I can also take care of dogs with a lot of fur as my Maggie was a Sheltie. We can also bring the dog to our favorite gentle groomer for nail trims. My partner will also help when he is home, and he loves dogs just as much as I do! He is really good at teaching various commands to dogs, he is extremely patient and he also loves to play with dogs. Together, we make a good team! And we can play in the yard, trails or dog park with your puppy :) . I am currently a full time student, and occasional yoga teacher. Simon works from Monday to Thursday on a flexible schedule. We are home some afternoons/mornings depending on our schedule, and every evening. We can take the dog outside for walks mornings and evening, and sometimes at noon. Or we can let the dog chill outside in our backyard to enjoy the smells and the sun, provided the pup is comfortable on a long leash. The yard is 90% private and fenced, there is just a unfenced gap on the side that looks into our parking lot or is covered by cedars. We are home on weekends and can provide lots of activities and care for your puppy from Friday to Sunday. We try to coordinate our schedule to spend as much time as possible providing care for the pet we sit :) We can provide potty breaks from 4-8 hours. I have a big private yard that is partially fenced, but we have a long leash so the dog can roam around. If you have a long leash too, please bring it! There is a big garden in our yard not accessible to the dogs. There are lots of squirrel and birds around our backyard. We live near the Gatineau Park, so lots of possibilities for walks and runs on a leash in the woods. We also have a spacious home where the dogs can play around, we have some dog pillows, and a small & big crate if necessary. We have a closed shower if the dogs need a little cleanup. If necessary, we also have a barrier/baby gate. There are no cats nor kids in the house, no one smokes and our neighborhood is quiet and calm. We do have plants in the house. We can also bring the dogs to dog parks nearby by foot or by car. We can drive around to other trails where the dogs could walk off-leash, play in water or play fetch. Our neighbourhood is calm, we live at the end of a cul-de-sac. Almost no cars drive by, but we occasionally see walkers and dogs on our street.

“Brigitte was so amazing with my little Toffee! She took him a little last minute as I couldn't get my regular sitter and just gave him the best day a little doggie could ask for with all the cuddles. Thank you so much!!”

About: As an animal lover, I have significant experience with cats and dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I have also gained extensive experience working with pets with special needs/accommodations. I have also fostered both cats and dogs for multiple rescue agencies. I can’t wait to discuss how I can support you and your pet! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time and attention available for your pet. When your pet is in my care, they will be the #1 priority. I have a safe apartment and a cute, patient kitty to keep your fur baby company. I am also an avid walker, so I look forward to walking frequently with your dog. As well, I am comfortable with crating your pet, and following any other routines.

“i made a last minute booking, they were incredibly accommodating to times and the fact that i have a young pup. Will definitely be booking again. Cannot say enough good things.”

“Eddy was a very happy puppy in her care. They bonded and Eddy trusted her right away. She kept me posted with updates the entire day. He definitely had a lot of play time and exercise because he slept the entire evening lol”

“Grace is my dog’s new best friend! She is a great communicator, flexible on schedules and really truly loves dogs. My dog now freaks out when the carrier comes out as she knows she is going to see her friend Grace. Would highly recommend!”

“We used Olivia multiple times during our annual vacation in Ottawa and every time she kept us in the loop and our boys were returned happy and relaxed, which is great. Overnight stays were equally relaxed despite us worrying about the boys! She fully informed us of all aspects of their visits even asking if they could have some human food as we are vegans, of course they could and they had a great time. A+”

Leslie N.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yingshu and Shervin! From the moment we met them, we knew our puppy, Muse, was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”

About: I’m an experienced, caring and safety conscious dog minder and have lived with and taken care of dogs most of my life. I worked closely with my own dog’s breeder through her 3 litters - her last litter I was the solo midwife. Mia has graduated out of the breeding program and we now look forward to hosting pup friends through Rover. I’m a keen observer of dog behaviours and my family gets a lot of joy in providing a happy, safe and caring home environment for new friends. I work from home 100% so your dog will have lots of company, play time and several walks geared to their energy level. I’ve taken care of many older dogs and special needs pups and am happy to administer medications per your instructions. We live near trails and parks and have a small backyard that backs onto the woods - so lots of squirrels to watch and outing options to suit energy levels. Whether for a day or a few weeks we look forward to getting to know your little one and making them feel part of the family. I take pups out for morning, lunchtime and evening walks, all on leash. In between I sometimes work away at my desk with a little one on my lap or nearby on a dog ‘couch’. For short errands it’ll monitor my ring camera to make sure your pup is happy at home with my Labradoodle, Mia. Your dog will be part of the family. I’m careful to not let dogs off-leash unless we're within a fenced-in yard. Your dog will get at least 3 walks a day for 10-45 minutes, depending on their stamina. I monitor mealtimes to ensure peaceful eating. Please let me know how they are when left with a buddy for short periods.

“Cody always loves to see Johanne! It is very reassuring to know that Cody is enjoying his stays. Thanks Johanne for always being so dependable and accommodating.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, both in my family and through regularly caring for and walking them. I also volunteered at several animal shelters over the years, where I helped care for abandoned dogs — walking them, assisting with basic care, and supporting their rehabilitation. This experience taught me how to adapt to dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who need extra patience and reassurance. I pay close attention to their behavior to respect their pace, energy level, and individual needs. To me, dogs are family members, and I always strive to provide a safe, stable, and caring environment while carefully following each owner’s instructions. J’ai toujours grandi entourée de chiens, que ce soit dans ma famille ou à travers des gardes et promenades régulières. J’ai également effectué plusieurs années de volontariat en refuge, où je m’occupais de chiens abandonnés : promenades, soins de base et accompagnement vers leur réadaptation. Cette expérience m’a appris à m’adapter à des chiens de tailles et de tempéraments très variés, y compris ceux ayant besoin de patience et de douceur. Je suis attentive à leur comportement afin de respecter leur rythme, leur énergie et leurs besoins spécifiques. Pour moi, un chien est un membre de la famille, et je veille toujours à offrir un environnement sécurisant, stable et bienveillant, en respectant attentivement les consignes des propriétaires. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be home full-time and give plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends. Pets are never left alone for long periods and benefit from consistent supervision, regular walks, and attention tailored to their needs. Je travaille à 100 % en télétravail, ce qui me permet d’être présente toute la journée et d’accorder beaucoup d’attention aux animaux dont je m’occupe. Je suis flexible et disponible, que ce soit en semaine ou le week-end. Les animaux ne sont donc jamais laissés seuls pendant de longues périodes et bénéficient d’une présence constante, de promenades régulières et de moments d’attention adaptés à leurs besoins. I live in a quiet and bright one-bedroom apartment with a secure balcony. I do not have any pets or children, which ensures a calm and stress-free environment where your pet can feel safe and at home. I always maintain a clean, organized, and secure living space. J’habite dans un appartement 3½ calme et lumineux, avec un balcon sécurisé. Je n’ai ni animaux ni enfants, ce qui garantit un environnement paisible et sans stress, idéal pour que votre compagnon se sente en sécurité et comme à la maison. Je veille toujours à maintenir un espace propre, organisé et sécuritaire.

“Erin took care of my 6 month pup for the day and was very communicative, asking about his routine and what he’s been learning so she could reinforce while he was with her. She thoughtfully put a coat on my doodle when it snowed unexpectedly to protect his fur. He came home tired and slept for the evening. I’d happily book care with Erin again.”

“I cannot be happier with having picked Jeff to take care of my pup on his first daycare adventure. He came highly recommended and I am looking forward to knowing my dog is in good hands the next time Jeff is watching him.”
