Top cities for doggy day care in Canada

For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Westboro for a home day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Westboro Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer home day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Westboro sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

Animal Care Experience

(Dogs, cats, kittens, rabbits &amp; birds)

My love for animals began early. Growing up, my neighborhood best friend and I spent our childhood rescuing and caring for animals of all kinds — injured birds we rehabilitated and released, indoor and outdoor rabbits we lovingly raised (including hand-feeding orphaned newborns), and multiple litters of kittens from a local street cat. We found safe homes whenever possible and worked with humane organizations when needed.

As a teen and young adult, I regularly walked neighbors’ dogs (despite not having one of my own) and later house-sat for friends and pet owners, caring for their dogs, cats, and homes on countless occasions.

  

Foster Volunteer Experience

(Ottawa Humane Society – Dogs &amp; Cats)

For the past few years, I’ve volunteered as a foster parent with the Ottawa Humane Society, caring for dogs, puppies, cats, pregnant cats, and kittens for periods ranging from 2 - 8 weeks.

One of my most formative experiences was fostering&nbsp;eight dogs at once&nbsp;— seven energetic four-week-old puppies and their mother. When the mother developed mastitis and required emergency surgery, I managed her post-op care while carefully coordinating supervised bonding sessions with each puppy to protect her recovery. After that experience, caring for one dog feels wonderfully manageable 

I’ve also fostered a pregnant cat and assisted her during the live birth and early care of her five kittens for approx. 8 weeks, alongside several other unique and rewarding foster situations while also administrating medications and specialized care as needed.

  

Why I Do This (OHS &amp; Pawshake)

Volunteering and caring for animals and all living things has always been close to my heart — from animal care to building homes with Habitat for Humanity. After the pause brought on by COVID, I was encouraged to return to animal-focused volunteering. Later, while on a Habitat Global Village build in Brazil, a fellow volunteer introduced me to Pawshake — and it felt like a natural extension of what I already love doing.

This is not a side hustle or career for me — I care for animals&nbsp;because I genuinely enjoy their company, their personalities, and the joy of providing a calm, loving atmosphere.

Through OHS, I've also taken additional training:
- Shy/Fearful &amp; House Soiling Feline
- Orphan Kittens
- Don't Blame the Cat 
- Don't Blame the Dog

  

My Home &amp; Environment

I live in a quiet, peaceful two-floor townhome condo filled with sunlight and greenery — a calm, serene retreat for your animal. I currently have no pets.


  
    Close to parks, soccer field, and a forest path
  
  
    One-sided shared fenced backyard (rarely used)
  
  
    Second bedroom with a human bed for the animal and plenty of sun with access to a balcony during warmer months 
  
  
    Large dog bed in the living room near a gas fireplace
  
  
    A “pet-friendly” couch prepared just for them
  


Outdoor activity is balanced with rest, depending on your dog’s needs, desires, and energy level.

  

What You Can Expect


  
    Only&nbsp;one animal at a time&nbsp;(unless from the same household)
  
  
    Personalized, attentive care
  
  
    Dog Boarding: 3-5 walks daily (mix of long &amp; short walks) unless more or less desired
  
  
    Calm companionship and plenty of affection
  


I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and creating a relaxed, trusting bond.

  

Schedule &amp; Time at Home

Mon–Wed &amp; Friday:

  
    Office days with flexible hours
  
  
    Home for a 50 min. lunch break for a check-in, walk, and companionship 
  

Thursday:

  
    WFH most mornings, so the animal is with me until I leave before 1:00pm.
  

Weekdays:

  
    Short periods (approx. 3 hours) where your dog will be alone with potential full house access 
  
  
    Optional gated 2nd bedroom if preferred and pending behaviour (e.g. unexpected chewing upon arrival)
  

Evenings &amp; Weekends:

  
    Fully home and present - except to possibly step out occasionally if req'd (e.g. groceries)
  

Ideally, I like to spend&nbsp;30-60 minutes min. with a dog in particular (after a morning drop-off)&nbsp;to settle in together, set up any items from the pet owner (e.g. dog bed, food set up), review any instructions and observe behaviour before heading to work.

  

Expectations for Dogs

Dogs should be:

  
    House-trained
  
  
    Comfortable being alone for short periods
  
  
    Non-destructive (unless otherwise discussed)
  


You’re welcome to bring your dog’s bed, blanket, food, written care instructions, emergency contacts, toys, or any comfort items with your scent. 

  

Quality Over Quantity

I choose to only care for&nbsp;one animal at a time&nbsp;to ensure thoughtful, individualized attention and create a deeper bond throughout their stay. So, if you choose to select me again your animal is in a very familiar, loving, and comfortable back-up home. Exceptions are made only for multiple animals from the same household. Your animal can expect a warm welcome, personalized care, and a truly comfortable stay. I am attentive to individual needs - for example, if your pet is unsettled at night, I'll make sure they feel safe and supported, whether that means nearby companionship or adjusting sleeping arrangements for added comfort (e.g.. where we both sleep on a couch in the family room or by my bedside for added close proximity comfort).

Hi! I’m Astrid, a caring and patient pet lover, and a mom who enjoys creating a warm and safe environment for animals. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from a lifelong love for pets and the joy they bring to my family. Being at home with my little one allows me to offer dedicated attention and gentle care to animals who need company during the day.
I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes (small, medium and large), as well as cats, rabbits, small pets and even a duck once! Each pet has its own personality, and I always take the time to understand their needs, routines and comfort levels. I’m confident with feeding, basic care, playtime, brushing and keeping pets calm and happy.
I live in a spacious, cozy home with a backyard and parks nearby, which creates a perfect environment for pets who enjoy fresh air and relaxation. For the safety of all, I prefer to take vaccinated and friendly pets into my home.
I would love to welcome your pet and make them feel cared for, comfortable and at home
