Absolutely wonderful people who organize dog-boarding and specialize in dogs who have diverse and…read moreunique needs. My dog is reactive and can't be around many other dogs or too many new people at a time and the boarder Briana was a perfect match for Chewie. The organizer April is incredible with dogs, very smart and skilled in terms of behaviour and positive reinforcement for dogs, and has helped me learn so much about my dog over the past few months. Highly recommend for dog boarding and general dog wisdom and companionship!

If I have to go away for a few days, I can't leave my dog with just anyone. While Sally is a…read moresweetheart inside the house, she's always looking for trouble outside, and can be especially reactive with other dogs. I need to know that the person who cares for my dog can handle my lil firecracker and prevent trouble from happening. My good friend who lives across the street is such a person, but more than a couple of days of dogsitting is kind of an imposition for a friend. I definitely did not want to send my large, energetic dog to a kennel (aka doggy jail). Bronte Pet Services to the rescue! I found them through a link on the website of the also-awesome Dizine Canine training centre. These wonderful people, April and Lauren and their team of petsitters, specialize in and even enjoy working with challenging dogs. They are also involved with HugABull rescue and are well-trained and experienced in reactive dog handling. We exchanged a few emails, and a couple of days before the trip, April, who would be sitting for us (the sitter she initially matched us with had to cancel) and another Lauren, who would providing some relief, came over for a home visit and to get the keys and contracts, etc. Sally loved them right away (cookies!), and when we left for the trip, we felt assured she - and the house - was in good hands. Knowing my dog, I had some lingering worries, but the first progress report email dispelled them completely. Throughout the trip, April sent us emails and pictures regularly to update us on how things were going. They would generally stay overnight and give her morning and evening walks and feeding. I'm also super happy with all extras April brought to the arrangement. She brought over her own doggy puzzle toys for Sally to solve to get her dinner - and who doesn't like to be told their dog is smart enough to solve the hardest ones with ease? She also introduced us to using a body halter, rather than the head halter I had been using, and even lent me one to try out after we got back. And she definitely wore my dog out with lots of interesting walks and "urban agility" exercises in the park nearby. They take care of all kinds of pets, but I love that they love taking care of even the more challenging (difficult, smart, energetic) animals. And I love that, since finding Bronte Pet Services, I feel like maybe I can now take a vacation once in a while!

I have been using the service of Dawn's Doggie Daycare for the last 2 years and have found the…read moreservice to be exceptional. The passion and dedication of the owner surpasses any expectation that I would have for a daycare for my dog. She is willing to take my pet anytime which includes boarding and she is very flexible in her hours. Furthermore, my Bernese Mountain dog has received numerous behavior training sessions and as a result, my dog has become a well behaved member of our family. Not only that, Dawn also grooms my dog most days he attends. I completely trust this daycare and would highly recommend it.

STAY FAR AWAY. Dawn is very unprofessional. When you initially get her on the phone, she seems very…read morefriendly and personable, but over time you learn that she's self-absorbed, ignorant, rude, opinionated, catty, and a complete waste of your time. Whenever I called, she talked non-stop for over an hour, without letting me get a word in, about things that were for the most part irrelevant to me. She raved about how long she'd been running her "business", how "professional" she is, how many clients she has, etc. But once she gets you hooked and you dish out the cash, you quickly learn that the talk was all BS. I've never been more disappointed with a daycare provider in all my years of using this type of service. If you're going to support someone's business, do it for someone who actually deserves your money.

The short version is that we had employeed Maureen as a Dog Boarder in 2015. Our second time with…read moreour dogs staying with her. She had met our dogs, they were both medium sized, and not badly behaved, but as rescues not perfect either. Long story short, we got a call three days before the end of our holiday telling us that our dogs had been hit by a car while in her care. One died, the other required months of surgeries, treatments etc and to this day has visible scars. Maureen claimed that our dogs were uncontrollable when our 12 year old could manage them just fine. And if so uncotrollable, why was she walking them together down a busy street. In short, she let go of both leashes so the dogs ran into traffic getting hit by a car. At the time, she was employed by PetVacay who looked after the thousands of dollars of expenses including cremation, surgeries and months of medications. Pet Vacay handled their end respectably. Maureen was let go from PetVacay and when she did talk through them to us, she accepted no responsibility for the accident, instead blaming the dogs. As she is now self employed, I urge you at very least to ensure that she has the insurance to cover any "what ifs". At best, reconsider trusting her with your beloved pets. She essentially killed our dog and i was completely shocked today to see her operating as her own business which i note she did open less than two weeks after the death of our dog. Please please learn from our experience.

As much as my dog loves me, when one of her hikers comes to get her I'm forgotten in a second. I couldn't trust them more and I can't thank them enough for the quality they provide day in and out. The beautiful photos that they post online show me what a great time Zooey is having. Her socialization has improved immensely, and listens much better to us. We love that she gets to mix with all sizes and breeds of dogs and is not stuck with only other little dogs. When we were originally looking for a daycare we tried both the standard daycare and boneheads. It took us exactly 2 hikes to know that that was the right place for her. She came home tired, hungry and happy instead of smelling like pee and cleaner, yappy and irritable. I can't imagine not having Zooey out with boneheads. Thank you for taking the best care possible of Zo and everything you and your team do.
