Doggy Day Care in Newmarket

About: Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. Vogel Emergency Vet just opened right across the street from our house, so if anything kind of emergency pops up, your baby will be a hop, skip and a jump away from the care they need. I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone. I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.

“Adelle has been wonderful with our boy who suffers from severe separation anxiety. He gets along great with her pups, and he is visibly excited as he gets closer to her house. He comes home absolutelt exhausted after a day at daycare with Adelle! 10/10”

“Donna is AMAZING! She fit me in when I was in a bind and my pup had such an amazing day! She sent so many updates and made sure my Winnie was safe and happy the whole time!!!”

“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter, Veska. She took amazing care of Oaits and was gentle, attentive, and highly professional throughout. She made sure to understand what Oatis’ needs were by communicating with us and kept us up to date through out the stay. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we felt completely at ease knowing Oaits was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Leah was amazing with my puppy! She watched him for the entire day on very short notice while I was working and even dropped him off at my house afterward. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and was very communicative, responding quickly to messages. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was in great hands. I’m so thankful she was able to accommodate us on such short notice and would absolutely trust her with my puppy again. Highly recommend!”

“I can not recommend Gary and his wife enough. They were absolutely wonderful and a breath of fresh air. My boy is my absolute world and we both have a little separation anxiety. Gary was very patient, understanding, and worked so well to make him feel safe and secure while in their care. They were very responsive and provided daily updates. Our boy was very happy and had a great time. I’m so happy to have found someone that I trust him with. We will 100% use Gary again.”

From playful family pups to high-drive working and hunting dogs, I’ve trained, handled, and loved them all. My background includes obedience training, socialization, and behavior management, so I understand how to read a dog’s body language and respond to their needs with patience and precision. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, mental stimulation, or just a cozy companion while you're away, I tailor my care to fit their personality and routine. ✔️ Comfortable with large breeds, high-energy dogs, and special needs pets ✔️ Skilled in basic obedience and handling reactive behavior ✔️ Clean, respectful, and communicative—your home and pet are in great hands ✔️ Available for walks, drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays I treat every pet like family and strive to make your time away stress-free and positive for everyone. Let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry friend feel confident and comfortable—can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. Whether it’s morning walks, training sessions, feeding schedules, or playtime, caring for animals is built into my life. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve developed a rhythm that keeps pets happy, healthy, and calm while their owners are away. I treat each visit or stay as a top priority, making sure every dog gets the attention, structure, and love they’re used to at home. Whether I'm watching one pup or a few, I organize my day around their needs—early walks, midday check-ins, evening wind-downs, and plenty of time for belly rubs and fetch in between! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. In My Home: I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medication or special care instructions. I offer plenty of supervised outdoor time (in a secure area), mental stimulation, and downtime to keep pets balanced and stress-free. In Your Home: I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’re used to, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or snuggles on the couch. I’m tidy, trustworthy, and always communicate so you know how things are going while you're away. No matter where your pet is, I treat them like my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of tail wags.

“Karen was perfect for my nervous dog. Daisy was able to relax even in the short time she was there. Planning our next dates for some day care.”

About: Dogs have been my passion for 30 years. I have had all types of breeds - tiny to giant and have adopted all of my babies. I am experienced with giving special medical care and medications including injections as several of my kids have had severe illnesses. I believe there are no bad dogs, just dogs who express themselves differently. Would love to meet your four-legged family and help make them happy. My day rates are based on an 8 hr day. Rates for after 8 hrs can be discussed. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which allows me time during the day to provide the attention needed for walks and potty break. I have a fenced in area for potty breaks and playtime. Timber is in full puppy play mode and loves to share her toys and balls with our guests.

“Took care of my dog perfectly! Would recommend to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.”

“Kristen & James were great. Took my boy into their home and treated him like family. Had a nice yard to run around and a bunch of kids to play with as well.”
