Every dog is different, and I always take the time to understand what makes yours feel most comfortable and happy. Before any stay, I’ll ask about your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walk preferences, energy level, sleeping habits, and any special needs or quirks. Whether your pup prefers quiet naps or loves a game of fetch, I’ll do my best to follow their routine and keep things familiar and comforting. The more I know, the better I can make their stay feel like home!

Each day starts with a nice morning walk to get some energy out and set a calm tone for the day. Dogs staying with us are part of our daily rhythm, we take another walk around midday and a final one in the evening to help them wind down. Throughout the day, there’s always someone at home (either myself or my husband), so your dog is never alone and always cared for. We have a backyard where dogs can relax, sniff around, or play under supervision. During the week, once the kids are home from school, there’s usually more excitement in the house, more company, attention, and a few extra games for the dogs to enjoy if they feel like it. On weekends, our routine is a bit more flexible and fun. We often go on longer walks, sometimes to High Park or other green areas nearby. If the kids have outdoor activities, we might bring our furry guest along, depending on the dog’s comfort and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys calm cuddles or lots of playful time, we adapt to their personality and needs to make sure they feel happy and at home.
