SafeK9 is so much more than just a place to send your dog for the day. The environment and the activities have been thoughtfully crafted to cater to dogs' natural instincts and behaviours, allowing them to be dogs in the truest sense.From play time to individual enrichment and training lessons, every detail is tailored to keep all of the dogs safe, happy and engaged. The staff members are passionate and knowledgeable about first aid and canine behaviour, ensuring that each dog receives the individual attention they deserve.It's been a pleasure working with Cathy and her team and I recommend SafeK9 to any pet parent looking for a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment for their furry family members.

My dog Buddy loves going to daycare at SafeK9! As soon as we turn onto Fuller Ave he starts howling and barking in the car! My wife and I love how attentive and caring the staff are. We know he is in great hands.

My pup has been coming here since Sept 2023, and attends two half-days/a week. Cathy and her team have helped him blossom into a more well-rounded, calm(er) and social boy. He gets to run and play with his new friends, receive one-on-one enrichment time with a behavioural trainer and always comes home tired and happy.Safek9 is meticulously clean, the staff are very conscious of all the dogs mental and physical wellbeing and genuinely love our pets. They've worked with us to make sure that our pup isn't stressed (or stressing others) and we've very much enjoyed the curated K9 shop that sells some essential products to holster his wellbeing. The amount of outdoor space that he gets to enjoy is hands down the best part, and we bolster his time at daycare with pack hikes on the grounds as well.Hands down the best daycare we could have ever imagined, and feel so lucky to have this absolutely perfect spot!Beans says "bark bark bark"!!

My daughter has 4 dogs, affectionately called the JAMM crew. They have been everyday clients of SafeK9 for several years. She drops her fur-babies off at SafeK9 worry-free knowing that they will receive exceptional care. Cathy and her dedicated, knowledgeable crew treat each memer of the JAMM crew as if they were their own.SafeK9 not only provides excellent care but offers individual experiences not provided elsewhere - enrichment, training, sniffari, off leash hikes, active play, decompression and relaxation opportunities; all with the aim to provide balanced physical and emotional canine health.The facilities at SafeK9 are exceptional - spacious, clean, and varied. Tremendous effort is made to create play groups of compatible dogs so all clients maximize their day-care experience.SafeK9 is also community minded with an active client Facebook page where daily pictures, training tips, and profiles and at a broader level provides activities and special opportunities as fundraisers for animal groups in the area.SafeK9 is a tremendous asset to the community and to the lives of my daughter, myself, and the JAMM crew. I don't know what we'd do without them!

The Safe K9 team are amazing! They truly love our fur babies and spend a lot of quality time playing with them. The enrichment activities both indoors and outdoors are fun and keep the pups exercised and well socialized. Our Charley loves going and has made so many friends, both with the Safe K9 team and all the pups. I can't say enough about the quality and loving care the team provides!Thank you

My girl loves this daycare! They are so much more then just putting the dog out to run.They have different play area's for them, enrichment one on one sessions, proper time management of their day , Cathy and her team are truly wonderful.One of the best features they offer is the off lead hike,with the ponds for swimming and lots of exploration. Check out the app for daycare or just renting the sniff spot for your pets , your dog will love you for it.

Cathy and her team are amazing.Our golden doodle Neely absolutely loves going to Safe K 9. He is so excited every time we pull into Cathy’s driveway. Cathy is so caring and kind and has great ideas to make this such a great spot to bring your dog. All of the staff go out of their way to provide an amazing experience and we would definitely recommend Safe K 9 if you are looking for a safe and fun place for dog daycare services. Thank you to Cathy and her staff.

SafeK9 is the best doggy daycare by far! Cathy and her team are great and really make sure your pet is cared for. They have small groups each day with different activities throughout the day to keep your dog engages, burn energy, and wind down appropriately. No kennels, a zone for sniffing, a zone for playing, indoor access and more.Tobi always has a full day and comes home ready for bed. He's made so many friends and I don't fear for his safety at all as Cathy is trained in canine first-aid. I cannot wait to try out the trails and the private dog park this summer, and I'm hoping to take the canine first-aid course as well.10/10 I cannot recommend this daycare enough.

Safe K9 is a wonderful facility for doggie daycare. It is clean, bright, spacious and has lots of outdoor space and equipment for pups to frolic and play with each other. Kathy and the staff are amazing with the pups and create an environment that is both relaxed and stimulating at the same time. Our boy is a bit nervous about being in strange places but after his first visit, it was clear that he loves the place! He runs to the door, tail wagging and can't wait to get inside. I highly recommend this day care!

My 7 month old West Highland White Terrier named Gus has been a member of the crew for a few months now.Gus LOVES Cathy and the staff at SafeK9 and has so much fun playing with all of his friends there. (We can’t even say the words doggy daycare in our home because just the mention of them instantly makes Gus think we’re going at that very moment)Gus is a tornado of energy, and spending the day at SafeK9 really helps him to burn off his energy and get the socializing that he truly needs.I highly recommend SafeK9 to anyone looking for a great place to send their fur baby to during the day.

Not only does SafeK9 provide a safe daycare environment, the staff goes above and beyond to provide loving, enriching experiences all day long to make it easy to leave furry family members in their care. No kennels! Daily pics posted so you can see the fun pups are having! Also, I have learned so much about caring for my furry family member from their mentoring. I can't say enough about the staff, the beautiful facility and what it has done to help bring our timid dog out of her shell

He runs for six hours and comes home exhausted and very very happy.Teddy loves how Cathy spoils him and gives him the best care. It’s wonderful to have someone that we 100 percent trust.My husband and I are so happy with the love, care and attention he receives.We feel completely blessed that we found SafeK9 Professional Dog Services

Our pup gets super excited as soon as we approach the driveway at SafeK9 and happily runs into dogcare without hesitation. She plays and socializes all day in their safe, wonderful space (seriously...the indoor and outdoor spaces are incredible!!), then comes home and promptly crashes for the evening. We know how good the day was by how far into the house she walks before she curls up and sleeps.Getting a puppy during covid wasn't fabulous for socialization and meeting other dogs, but dogcare has filled that gap, and now she's part of the fabulous SafeK9 pack!She gets to hang out and play with her pack, and we know that she's safe, busy and happy. I highly recommend SafeK9 to anyone with a dog!!

Cathy and her team at SafeK9 are incredible! My Ringo is so excited as soon as I pull in the driveway, and when I pick him up he’s so exhausted he sleeps the rest of the day away. SafeK9 is an excellent, safe, and KENNEL FREE (this is what sold me) daycare and boarding option for dogs of all ages (I signed Ringo up when he was 10 weeks old!). I highly recommend Cathy!
