Brantford’s#1 Doggy Staycation🐶🐾❤

Welcome to a your dog’s countryside vacation home🐶 With over 15 years of experience caring for animals, I offer professional, cage-free boarding where pups are treated as part of the family. ✨ What You Can Expect: • Cage-Free Environment: Dogs enjoy free roam of the house, just like they would at home 💖 • Spacious & Secure Property: Located in the County of Brant, our home features a large backyard, a fully fenced dog run, and plenty of play space—both indoors and outdoors. • Daily Adventure Walks: Brantford is called the “Trail Capital” for a reason—we take full advantage with daily walks ranging from 10 to 20 km! About Me Hi, I’m Alma — a full-time pet caregiver with over 15years of experience. I specialize in longer-term stays (a month or more), providing round-the-clock care and attention to each pup in my home. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a passion. My goal is to offer your dog a happy, enriching, and stress-free stay while you enjoy your time away. 🐾 What Makes My Home Unique? • Personalized Care: I only host a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives individual attention. • Engaging Days: Your pup will enjoy a mix of play, exercise, and enrichment including light agility and basic obedience training. • No Resident Pets: We don’t have dogs of our own, which means your furry family member gets all the love and attention. • Large, Private Property: My husband and I live on a half-acre property, offering plenty of room for pups to run, relax, and explore. Pet parents often say their pups return home happy, well-exercised, and ready for a long nap after their fun-filled stay! Looking forward to welcoming your pup into our home-away-from-home! ❤️

What a great experience for my two dogs ! I received videos and photos throughout their stay. Along with notes about their activities and updates. There is a lot of love and attention give to both dogs and they came home happy and exhausted. Will definitely be back!

Alma was amazing!!! She ensured that quiet, shy, older lad, was able to feel like a part of the team just by being around her other dogs. I was very surprised by the fun I could see that he had, how calm he was, and content. Alma took great care of Sinpa and provided plenty of videos and photos. He had a fantastic time, and I know he is already looking forward to the next visit!

Alma took impeccable care of our German Shepherd Rafa while he stayed in her home for five days so we could go on vacation. We are such worriers and it’s very difficult to be at ease leaving our little one. Alma made us extremely comfortable by sending us constant texts with updates, videos and photos. She followed all our instructions without hesitation and Rafa was so happy being in Alma’s home that is set up like doggy heaven! He went on wonderfully long walks and had a ball playing with the other dogs in Alma’s care. We will definitely have Rafa stay with Alma again and we highly recommend her and the precious care she takes of the dogs entrusted to her. Thank you very much Alma and Dinesh. 😊😊

Wow!!! I don't even know where to begin trying to give the glowing review that Alma deserves! Our dog is a senior dog, and being a little dog she's also very feisty and not great with other dogs. Alma has literally broken her habit of not being friendly with other dogs! She had Lily bonding with the other dogs that she watched for the weekend. We were so comfortable from our first meet and greet, that we went away for our vacation feeling very confident that Lily was in the best hands possible. And the beautiful pictures and videos that we received while we were away, was all the proof we needed! Alma went above and beyond in our opinion . If you are lucky enough to get this lady to watch your animals, you can rest assured that they are in the very best care possible! My only regret is that we did not meet each other years ago! Thank you so much, Alma!!
