Safety, trust & environment

I have a 1/2 acre of fenced yard, plenty of green grass to run and play. I also have a huge playroom dedicated to dogs, where they can hang out and play without being restrained. Our lawn is cut short, and we don’t use any herbicides or pesticides. I pick up daily. For added safety, we have several security cameras, and motion activated lights outside. I will keep you updated and will send you photos/videos. Our home is clean, calm, and quiet environment. No smoking, no children, no cats. Your dog will be getting a lot of attention and will want to come back.

A typical day

It’s all about fun around here! I play fetch with them and encourage them to run around, to get rid of any excess energy. On a hot days I fill up a kiddy pool for them to cool off. Low energy dogs love to sniff around, relax, sunbathe, or watch TV here. I do use treats as a reward unless instructed otherwise, no raw hide allowed.

We were on vacation and left our beloved pet with Sylvie. He absolutely adores her, and to us, that's the best proof of how well she cared for him! We couldn't be happier with the care and attention he received. He was well looked after, well fed, and given plenty of love and affection. Sylvie kept us updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away ❤️❤️❤️

We love Sylvie and so do our 3 pups.. Whether it's an overnight stay or multiple days visit, we know our pups are in great hands. Our dogs can't get out of the car fast enough to see Sylvie and her own puppers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our dog stayed with Sylvia for four days while we were away on a business trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. It truly felt like a camp for dogs! Sylvie kept us updated throughout our trip by sending photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. The conditions are excellent, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and spent lots of time outside running and playing. We are very grateful for the wonderful care. I can honestly say this is the best place we could have chosen for our dog. Highly recommended!

We had a great experience with Sylvie! Very good communication. She was able to watch my two dogs last minute for the holiday. We appreciated all the videos and photos during their stay. They loved the clean and spacious backyard! Thanks again Sylvie!
