Doggy Day Care Haller Lake

“Melissa was polite, super prompt, and very professional. Communication was swift and clear. We were in a unique situation and needed a sitter on short notice for our puppy who had just had surgery the day before. Melissa has clearly had experience with a wide range of dog situations and we would love to use her again.”

About: Over the years, my husband and I have shared our lives with all kinds of dogs: farm dogs, little dogs, a Great Dane in a studio apartment, and now our Mini Australian Shepherd. We have learned and refined our dog ownership skills over time, finally investing in professional training for both our dog and ourselves in 2025. That experience shaped the kind of care I offer today. I believe dogs thrive with clear structure, consistency, and calm communication. I strive to provide the kind of boarding experience I wish I could find for my own dog, where training, routines, and boundaries are respected while you're away. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. We have a large, fully fenced backyard, daily walks, and a very friendly Mini Australian Shepherd who enjoys canine company. Your dog won't be left alone for a typical workday. I do leave the house for school drop-offs and pick-ups, errands, or weekend activities. Dogs should be comfortable being alone for a few hours. Because I have both a young child and my own dog, I only accept dogs that: -Are friendly with children and other dogs. -Are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. -Can comfortably settle into a family home.

About: We have a dog and a cat of our own. We both have grown up with medium to large sized dogs since a young age, most of whom were adopted mixed breed terriers and a few pure-breds as well; Labradors and an English Springer Spaniel specifically. We have had experience with pet-sitting for dogs who have ranged from very small on up to the size of 85+lbs. We are familiar with dogs who have separation anxiety, food aggression, and aggression toward other dogs. In the past we have facilitated the following: walks, play time, meal prep if there is a special diet, giving medication, crating if crate-trained, help with vet visits, baths (if necessary), and are comfortable caring for your furry loved one in your home. Sara currently has full availability! This allows for a lot of time to spend with your pet, ensuring they get all the love they need. At our home, we have a decently sized, fenced in backyard. It is imperative to both of us that the pets are kept safe. We always have a leash on during walks, only allowing off-leash in our backyard or at dog parks. We're vigilant in making sure any pet doesn't get into anything they shouldn't. We also have a light up collar for walks at night.

“Our pup came home exhausted and happy after a full day with Carmen and Taco! She sent us lots of picture updates that were just so cute. Loved how flexible and responsive Carmen is, and Maisie clearly bonded with her in just a short amount of time. We will definitely be back!”

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs of many breeds for over 10 years. I’ve raised my own dogs and helped care for rescues and friends’ pets. I understand dog behaviour, body language, and how to communicate with them. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely care about animals. I work from home and am available throughout the day. I can take your dog for walks as needed and give them attention and care without long gaps. My schedule is consistent, so your dog won’t be left alone. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. My senior dog is calm and friendly with other dogs—she’s never had issues and can be good company. I always keep an eye on interactions and make sure the environment stays low-stress and safe.

“Wonderful experience! My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable during her time with Margot. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention. I've already booked again! Highly recommend!”

“Chau was an awesome dog sitter! She took us super last min, and made sure my pup got great care. Got photos and updates through the visit which I appreciated.”
