Royal Pooch Plaza

Hi there! My name is Dan, and I’m excited to offer a loving and safe home for your furry friend. Thanks to my hands-on experience working at a five-star dog kennel and boarding facility, you can trust that your dog will be in expert hands. Your pooch will receive the attention, care, and personalized experience they deserve. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and provide a home-away-from-home experience, I’d love to hear from you! Our area is full of dog-friendly spaces, parks, and dog runs, so your dog will have plenty of room to explore and enjoy their stay. During my time at the dog hotel in Sydney, Australia, I gained experience in dog walking, understanding canine behaviour, and handling a wide range of breeds and sizes. Whether your dog is energetic or more laid-back, I know how to tailor their care to meet their needs. Plus, my partner Andrew and I are always happy to keep you in the loop with regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your dog's stay. We welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes, so please feel free to reach out and arrange a meet-and-greet. That way, you can be confident that your dog will be in expert hands with us! Je parle français aussi!

Delilah was well cared for staying with Dan while I was away. I knew she was in great hands! Dan was super kind & communicative and sent photos/updates during her stay. Delilah can be an anxious pup, but I could tell she was comfortable with Dan. I would gladly book again! :)

Dan was amazing with our nervous dog and went above and beyond to accommodate us. He provided excellent service and we will definitely book with him again if and when we're in Montreal. Thanks Dan!

Clover was so eager to go with Dan on his second visit that we know he's comfortable and well cared for when with him. Dan is responsive and provides regular updates that reassure us. It's hard to leave Clover, but this makes it much easier!

Dan took fantastic care of our sweet dog, Beyla, as always. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew she was in great hands.

This was Clover's first stay with Dan. It was clear that all his needs were met by his ease when we picked him up, and Dan was very reliable and communicative during the stay. We really appreciated getting updates on how Clover was settling in and we'd happily trust Dan to look after Clover again!

We're thrilled to have found Dan! Super approachable and communicative--he more than met all of our elderly dog's (many) needs. We'll be back soon!

Safety, trust & environment

Our space is well setup and a safe environment for your pooch. We are attentive to anything they could get a hold of and have safe guarded our home to ensure they can't get into anything they shouldn't. We will also be with them 24/7 so lots of supervision.
