Boarding
Comfortable, home-based care for dogs who enjoy being part of the family.
Your dog stays in a home environment with personalized attention, companionship and a routine built around their individual needs.
A Home Away From Home
Boarding with Sylvie means your dog isn’t simply given a place to sleep. They’re welcomed into my home and included in the rhythm of the day, with attention to their routines, personality and comfort.
Personal Attention
One-on-one care rather than a busy kennel environment.
Familiar Routines
Meals, rest, walks and downtime are shaped around what your dog is used to.
Regular Updates
You’ll receive photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing while you’re away.
Is Boarding a Good Fit For Your Dog?
Boarding isn’t necessarily the right fit. It’s well suited to:
- Dogs who are comfortable in a home environment
- Generally healthy dogs
- Dogs whose medical, behavioural and mobility needs can be safely managed
- Dogs who are people-friendly and manageable in the home
- Dogs who don’t have a destructive tendency
- Up-to-date core vaccinations or appropriate titres
- All medical, behavioural and special-care needs disclosed before booking
Good to Know
Drop-Off & Pickup
We’ll agree on your dog’s drop-off and pickup times when your booking is arranged. If pickup extends beyond the booked period, an Extended Care Fee may apply.
What to Bring
Bring your dog’s regular food, medications and any familiar items that help them settle in. I’ll let you know if there’s anything else needed for your particular stay.
Medication & Feeding Routines
I’ll follow your instructions for meals, medications and other established routines. Medication instructions are confirmed for each booking so I have the most current information.
Emergency Contacts
I’ll need current emergency contact and veterinary information before your dog’s stay, along with authorization for veterinary care if you’re unavailable.
Updates While You’re Away
You’ll receive regular photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing and can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
