Pup Paradise with a Dog-Loving Duo!

Hi there! Hope you're having a pawsome day! **Promo code for $20 off: ABHILP35947 for your first booking with Rover** My name is Saksham, and I’m a working professional in the IT field based in Waterloo. My wife and I live together, and we’re both lifelong dog lovers—we’ve each had dogs growing up and understand the dedication and care it takes to create a happy, safe, and fun environment for pets. What we offer: We provide a calm, loving home and flexible services tailored to your needs, including: - Daytime hosting while you’re at work or running errands - Overnight boarding for weekend getaways or vacations - Dog walking in local neighbourhoods or nearby parks Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a relaxed pace, we adjust our routine to suit their comfort. We go out for daily walks, jogs, or runs, so your dog will get the exercise they need. We're located within walking distance of several parks—perfect for strolls or some fetch time! Why Choose Us? - Your dog will never be alone—either my wife or I will always be home. - We maintain a safe and pet-friendly space with no hazards, and your dog will be treated like family. - Experience with breeds of all sizes. - We're both calm, patient, and attentive, and we genuinely enjoy building bonds with the dogs we care for. Before the Stay: To help your dog settle in comfortably, we’d love to know more about their habits and preferences. Please share any important information such as: - Allergies or medical conditions - Feeding schedules - Exercise or play preferences - Behaviour quirks or special needs Looking forward to giving your dog a safe, happy, and tail-wagging experience while you're away! Let’s connect and schedule a meet-and-greet soon. Thank you!

Boarding • Aug 09, 2026

We left Sky for his first day boarding stay with Saksham and Abhilasha, and they took really good care of him. Sky seemed very comfortable and happy with them, which was especially reassuring since it was his first stay with them. They also sent us frequent updates and pictures throughout the day, keeping us posted and making us feel at ease. They were kind, caring, and attentive, and we’re really happy with their service. We’ll definitely be using their services again for Sky’s future stays. Highly recommended! 🐾❤️

Saksham took great care of Snowy while we were away. We were a bit late for pickup, but he was very understanding and accommodating. Snowy came back happy and well cared for, and it was clear that Saksham treated her with kindness and attention. We really appreciated his flexibility and would definitely trust him with Snowy again. Highly recommended!
