Dog Boarding in Griffintown, Montréal

Who this is for
A home-based stay with someone who gets to know your dog’s routine.
How it goes
Staying somewhere new doesn’t have to mean changing everything
Food. Walks. Rest. Sleep. The small habits that tell a dog what happens next.
Before a stay, I want to understand what an ordinary day looks like for your dog so I can keep as much of that familiarity as practical while they’re away from home.
This isn’t about fitting every dog into one generic boarding schedule.
Who I board
Boarding is currently available for small and medium-sized dogs.
Because care takes place in my home, I don’t accept dogs with aggressive or reactive behaviour for boarding.
Where your dog stays
Your dog stays with me in my Griffintown apartment.
Unlike my dog-walking service, boarding isn’t restricted to three neighbourhoods. Clients can bring their dog from elsewhere when travelling to Griffintown for drop-off and pickup is practical.
If your dog is more comfortable remaining at home, House Sitting keeps their familiar environment at the centre of care.
Pricing
From $75 CAD / night
Starting rates reflect straightforward care needs. Final pricing is agreed based on your dog’s routine, required time and level of care.
New care requested less than 24 hours before the stay begins is charged at 2× the normal rate. This is a short-notice booking rate, not a cancellation charge.
Personal updates
You'll hear from me, not an automated system. I send personal updates with photos and details about how your pet is doing, what we've been up to and anything useful I noticed during our time together.
Fair questions
At my home in Griffintown, Montréal.
I currently board small and medium-sized dogs.
Yes. The boarding location is in Griffintown, but clients can come from other neighbourhoods when practical.
A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking. Payment can be made by Interac e-Transfer or cash.
If you need to cancel, please give me at least 12 hours' notice before the scheduled service begins. A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking. Late cancellations may be subject to applicable charges where permitted.
Not always, but I strongly recommend a free Meet & Greet before care begins. It usually takes about 30–45 minutes and gives us time to go through your pet's routine, personality and anything else I should know. In some cases, I may ask to meet your pet before confirming care when compatibility, anxiety, behaviour, size or other individual circumstances need to be assessed.
Boarding suitability is considered individually based on your pet's personality, behaviour, comfort and the circumstances of the stay. A free Meet & Greet may be recommended, or required when compatibility needs to be assessed. Dog boarding is for small and medium-sized dogs and is not suitable for dogs with aggressive behaviour.
Yes. If your pet requires medication during care, please provide the medication together with clear instructions for the dosage, timing and method of administration. I can administer oral, topical and intramuscular medications, but I do not administer intravenous medication. I follow the medication instructions you provide and do not independently change dosages or treatment instructions. Checking expiration dates and providing medication that has not expired remains the client's responsibility.
Before care begins, please provide your veterinarian or veterinary clinic information, an emergency contact, and current contact information for yourself. If I notice something that appears to require urgent attention, I will make a reasonable effort to contact you first. If you cannot be reached and I reasonably believe your pet requires immediate veterinary attention, I may contact your veterinarian, an emergency veterinary clinic or your designated emergency contact rather than delay necessary care.
