We take it "ONE DOG AT A TIME"
Pet care experience
Fetch & Co. takes it “ONE DOG AT A TIME.” Hi! We’re Topher & Chris, professional canine caregivers and owners of Fetch & Co., Canada’s #1 dog care service. We offer 1-on-1 dog daycare, sitting and walking services throughout the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. All of our services are offered in-home (yours or ours) and are delivered 1-on-1, so you never need worry about your dog (or dogs, if you have more than one) being around pets from other households. What YOUR DOG gets: • Private, 1-on-1 care 24-hours a day in a dog-loving home environment throughout their stay • Caregiver certified in canine first aid & CPR by St. John’s Ambulance • Familiar routine that follows your dog’s regular eating, exercise, sleeping and sleep schedules, along with “house rules” that mirror what they’re used to at home (e.g., whether or not they’re allowed on the furniture or to sleep in bed with you); your house rules become our house rules. • Regular walks, play times and treats (as directed by you) • Private, fully-fenced yard available to them at all times (multiple off-leash fenced dog parks are also available that we can utilize, if you permit) • Unlike most traditional boarding kennels, we never cage the dogs in our care. If, however, your dog is crate trained, we are happy to accommodate your dog’s kennel and will adhere to your dog’s regular crate routine. What YOU get: • Comfort knowing your dog has around-the-clock professional care in a loving family home while you’re away • Free meet & greet prior to your dog’s first booking, so you and your dog can get to know us (and we can get to know you) • Flexible pick-up and drop-off times that fit your schedule • Daily updates & photos of your dog while you’re away (plus feel free to contact us to check in as often as you wish) • Free administration of any medications or special needs your dog may have • Unlike at most traditional boarding kennels, we do not charge extra for additional walks, exercise or playtime. Whether your dog likes 1 walk a day or 10, at Fetch & Co. you never have to pay more to ensure your dog’s exercise and play needs are met. • Option to have the care delivered in our home or yours • Option to add a bath for your dog prior to pick-up (fee applies) Our HOME: Located in a quiet, dog-friendly subdivision in Bowmanville, your dog's home-away-from-home is a clean and tidy, smoke-free, 2-storey detached home with a private, fully-fenced backyard perfect for dogs. It sits 2-blocks from a large school yard, and just moments away from Bowmanville’s expansive, fenced dog park. A little more ABOUT US: • We've spent over 20 years caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes • In 2014, we expanded our passion for dogs into a full-time business, Fetch & Co. • Certified in canine First Aid & CPR by St. John's Ambulance • We have relationships with the GTA's veterinary community (including 3 of Bowmanville's leading vet clinics, the emergency animal hospital in Durham, and the Toronto Veterinary Emergency Clinic) • We're experienced in caring for injured and ill dogs, including dogs suffering from seizures, and will diligently administer any required medications as instructed by you or your veterinarian • We volunteer with Golden Rescue, a non-profit dog rescue organization, and regularly donate to a range of canine charities • We launched “Cody's Campaign” lobbying the government to eliminate the HST on veterinary services and medicines • We're happy to provide references and police background checks upon request • Just like dogs, we're kind, loving, loyal and dependable The Fetch & Co. TEAM Due to overwhelming client demand, we've hired additional canine caregivers for clients when Topher and Chris are already booked. These individuals (and their homes) have been meticulously screened by us personally to ensure dogs receive the same level of exceptional care and service they get at our home, while maintaining Fetch & Co’s 1-on-1 care guarantee. If you see our calendar is booked for dates you need, contact us to discuss these alternative options. We book up fast and early, especially for peak holiday periods. Please contact us today to reserve your dates!
Reviews
This was our first time using a pet sitter - so we were all a little nervous leaving our fur-babies. Topher and Chris were amazing and opened their home and hearts to our pups. They checked in frequently with messages and pictures; which really gave us peace of mind and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We 100 % recommend them and will book again in the future. Thank you Topher and Chris for loving our dogs and keeping them safe.
Hi We booked Topher based on his listed experience and excellent reviews. We were not disappointed! After the first meet and greet I knew how much they cared about dogs. My girl Charley was so at ease ten minutes after meeting, she did not want to leave. They all had an easy enjoyable day and I received a few pics during the day and could tell she settled in like an old friend. We will definitely return.
I felt so at ease with leaving my new puppy with Topher, I received regular updates throughout the day of their adventures. Will definitely be using Topher again!
Topher recently looked after our dog over the holiday weekend. After our meet and greet I left certain that she would be taken care of. Topher is friendly, outgoing, accommodating and welcomed our dog into a clean, safe, caring environment while we were away. While we were away we received an update with photos on how she was doing. I’m very happy we chose Topher to take care of our dog while we were away. We would certainly reach out to Topher again to take care of our dog when we go away again. Thank you Topher!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We provide an exceptionally safe and loving family environment for each and every dog that books with us. For starters, there are no other dogs in our home and we only take one client at a time; this means that a client never need worry about other dogs interacting with theirs. It also means that their dog will get our undivided love and attention 24/7 while he or she is with us. I am certified in dog first aid and CPR by St. John's Ambulance, and have extensive experience caring for sick and injured dogs. Finally, my house and fully-fenced backyard is rigorously maintained to ensure a safe environment for dogs.
Home
Information Topher P. would like to know about your pet
The more we know about your dog, the more fun and comfortable we can make their stay. Our first step with every client is to have a meet & greet, where we get to know your dog, and you and your dog get to know us. Some of the key information we'll want to learn includes: * what their personality is; * their typical daily routine and what they enjoy doing; * what food and treats they eat; * any health concerns they have, along with detailed information about any medications they take; and * their sleep routine.
A typical day
Dogs are creatures of habit, and changes to their daily routine can be uncomfortable for them. Therefore, one of our key goals is to mirror your dog's normal daily routine as closely as possible as this helps minimize any anxiety or stress they may feel while away from home. We follow the walking, feeding, treat, play and sleep schedules you've already established for your dog, and adopt the same "ground rules" your dog follows at home (e.g. whether or not they are allowed on the furniture). On walks, we'll take your dog to explore our neighbourhood and, with your permission, we can also visit one of Clarington's multiple dog parks. Other daily activities will entirely depend on the things your dog loves to do. We can snuggle with your dog on the couch, play fetch, learn new tricks, nap away an afternoon, and so much more.
