Safe, experienced boarding Midtown

Pet care experience

Stress free boarding for your dog in a loving home environment. Some dogs can't board at a kennel or doggie camp. Apartments can be very stressful too. My dog Leon was so stressed boarding at a dog camp that he didn't eat for almost 4 days and it took him a week to recover afterwards. This is exactly why I decided to start doing a little boarding in my home. If your dog is like Leon, consider my home your solution. I can offer a safe and calm home away from home. I have a detached house in Davisville Village with a fully fenced yard. Leon goes out for a big park run every day (ravines, Sherwood, Sunnybrook) plus at least one good street walk. Having other dogs is no problem (as you can see in my photos!). I am a semi-retired marketing consultant and work from home with my husband and adult, student daughter. I have had a dog almost all my life - 5 in total with some overlap. All of them were retriever or shepherd mixes except Leon who is a full white Shepherd. He is a low key, easy going guy. I can handle every life stage and special needs too. A pre stay visit is required so that we can make sure we have a good energy match. I look forward to meeting you and your special dog.

I would give Jill 10 stars if I could! Apollo gets lots of walks and outdoor time and we get lots of updates. Apollo can be a handful but he always come home tired and relaxed. And he always looks forward to going back

Jill was absolutely amazing at taking care of our little Spencer. We received regular updates while we were away and had the piece of mind knowing he was being well cared for. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jill to our friends.

Mackay loves going to Jill. He gets lots of attention, good walks and play time. Lots of pictures to keep us informed.

So happy I found Jill! She is wonderful. Took great care of our dog, Summer, while we were out of town for 2 weeks over the holidays. Summer is an extremely active dog and Jill made sure she was out running around every day. She even bought her a food puzzle to keep her busy. I felt at ease that Summer was in good hands and good company. Will definitely book again.

Information Jill L. would like to know about your pet

I am open to all breeds as long as they are not dog or people aggressive. Your dog has to be okay with mine so energy match is pretty important. Leon is fine with most dogs and welcoming. He is a pretty relaxed guy around the house and is superb with senior dogs (very respectful). He will defer totally to a stronger alpha. I would need to see vaccination certificates and understand if there are any behavioral issues or special needs. I can adapt our routine to suit what your dog is used to. Your dog must be parasite free to board at my house (fleas, ticks, bedbugs, etc).

A typical day

Walks on the streets of Davisville Village and Leaside including Mount Pleasant Cemetery. A visit to an off leash area once a day. Leon stays close so Sherwood Park is a favourite but if your pup is a wanderer we can go to the Moore, Beach or Brickworks off leash areas which are fully fenced. Ball throwing is usually part of our routine. Lots of exercise for everyone!

When I am boarding dogs, they are my primary focus. My day revolves around exercise, feeding and cuddles. I can accomodate your dog's special requirements.
