About the boarding facility:

The boarding area is within my private home located downtown Fort McMurray. The pets will be treated and cared for just as they would in your own home. I do my best to maintain your home schedule, rules, and routines. Pets can bring their own things to make them feel at home and keep them safe and happy.

Cats can be boarded in a separate room which haswindows for


natural light, places to climb. If you have a dog and cat that get along, they can potentially be boarded together.

What’s required:

All the basics of multiple pet boarding and daycare are required such as:

  • proof of current vaccination/immunity, including bordatella (kennel cough) for dogs.
  • periodic parasite (worms, fleas, ticks) control (internal and external).
  • spayed/neutered over 6 months of age. Call if you have you any questions about this as I may still have options for you.
  • approved on line application to start the process.
  • puppies must:
    • have at least one core vaccination from a veterinarian (not breeder administered)
    • have at least one deworming treatment
    • be at least 8 weeks of age

Owner Supplied Items:

We try to make your pet's stay with us as homey as possible so feel free to bring your pet's favorite bed, crate, pillow, toys or other objects that they are familiar with. These apply to both boarding and daycare services. Label all items with pet's name. As a minimum, your pet will need you to bring all consumables and custom fit items such as:

  • Food: enough food for all their meals plus two extra meals in case of delays, particularly for boarding.
  • Treats: bring a little extra so your pet feels extra special.
  • Chews: Especially if  your dog is an aggressive chewer, please bring appropriate chews/toys.
  • Special Walking Tools (for dogs): harness, head halters, jackets/booties. Flexi-leashes, prongs, chokers, or shock collars will not be used.

Facility Supplied Items if Needed:

  • Facility ID Martingale collars for boarders and standard leash.
  • Food and water bowls.
  • Bed/blanket if appropriate (won't chew).
  • Poo bags if needed on walks.
  • Size appropriate confinement areas. We have a range of sizes of kennels/crates/rooms.
  • Limited number of toys, kongs, and chews .

Feeding Arrangements:

All pets will be fed as close to the owner’s home routine as possible. If there are multiple pets however, free feeding will not be possible unless you are ok to have them kenneled. All animals are separated at meal times. All dry food and treats should be in a re-sealable container or sturdy zip lock type bag, labeled with pet's name.

Raw food is not a problem and a fridge and freezer is available for food storage. 

Daily Exercise for Dogs:

Dogs will be exercised in playgroups and/or leashed walks as appropriate for dog's needs, health, and weather conditions.

Deposits and Refund Policy:

First time clients are required to pay a full one-night boarding fee based on your specific package to reserve your stay. This one-night fee will be non-refundable and non-transferable and reservations or inquiries are not guaranteed until deposit is received, processed, and acknowledged.

Additional terms shall be per signed boarding contract.
