I am home full time so your furry friend will be looking after at all times. I will cater my day around your dog stay and his/her needs. So you can be sure that your dog will be safe, comfortable, well looking after, relaxed and happy. We will do our best between me and my wife to supervise your dog all the time. Except during long boarding when I will do some errands (no more than 2 hours). For safety your dog can be created at that time.

Information Sylvain C. would like to know about your pet
We would want to know anything that is important for your fur baby and you. We’ve gone on holiday and had sitters where we worried the whole time (often away for hours and staying with too many other dogs) and we never want that for anyone! That’s why we want to provide this service so you leave your fur baby knowing they are in good hands. We will cater all the care to the individual specificities of your dog needs. I offer a complementary first visit at your home to meet your dog and start to know your fur baby in his/her own environment and go through all the questions you may have. Then an additional meet and greet is arranged with Yogi and Choco at our home to introduce the dogs to each other, starting in the backyard to have some play time or a walk to get your fur baby acclimatized to our home. I offer discounts for returning pets and boarding longer than 10 days which we can discuss at the meet and greet.
A typical day
Walking! Cuddles! Toys! Outdoor play! Fetching! Brushing! And really what your fur baby needs! I really believe each dog has a unique temperament and I will cater to the needs of your dog. Dog Training can be added to our routine. Yogi and Choco go for off leash walks from our backyard twice daily about 20 to 50 minutes in length. I will always start walking with your dog with a leash, if you are comfortable and your dog is comfortable off leash we can discuss that when we meet and greet. If your dog is a senior or a smaller pup and has special needs and restrictions with walks I will accommodate whatever their needs are.

5 ⭐️ Care for your Fur Baby
Pet care experience
We are a couple with a golden retriever and chocolate lab that love boarding. We know how stressful it is leaving your fur baby home and we are happy to care for your dog knowing that she/he will be like ours and will never be left alone. We adore our fur babies and have catered our vacation schedule dependent on pet sitters and so we understand the importance of feeling the trust that your fur baby is in good hands and will be the only one looking after at all times so you can be totally stress free. I am in my 50s and will be the primary dog caretaker. I grew up in France with dogs and cats at home and always with pets around with my family and friends. I then worked and travelled many places around the world and now live in Thunder Bay with Yogi, Choco and my wife who is a physician at the hospital and travels for work. My dog motto is a balanced, healthy and happy dog through exercise, discipline and affection. Using dog psychology with calmness and assertiveness. Dogs are my best companions and great teachers of love awareness. Yogi and Choco are certified therapy dogs with St.John's Ambulance and visit various long term care homes in Thunder Bay providing dog therapy.
Reviews
Sylvain was fabulous to deal with right from the start. His intake process is great, it allowed us to feel confident and comfortable knowing that we would be leaving our dog in the hands of someone who was kind, serious, and committed to her care while we were away. The meet and greet is excellent. Sylvain sent the perfect amount of updates with photos! He gave her plenty of outside time which she loves, including long walks in the bush with his dogs. He took the time before watching our dog to research the breed to get to know more about them. We thank Sylvain for his patience and expertise with our dog.
Sylvain was absolutely wonderful!! He took great care to ensure he understood my dog's personality and needs and provided me with daily updates and pictures. I would absolutely leave my dog with him again and I highly recommend him to all pet owners. His care for animals and attention to the details of their well-being is very clear. Your dog is in great hands with Sylvain!
Our dog was in very capable hands with Sylvain. We felt 100% confident while we were away which was such a relief. He was very thorough about her care plan and made sure it would be a good fit with his own dogs. Sylvain was very responsive and kept us up to date with frequent pictures and videos. He took exceptional care of our fur baby walking her multiple times daily. We highly recommend his care!
Sylvain has great communication skills with dogs and can clearly bond with them. I am certain he would provide top notch service and would highly recommended him for any pet owner!
