About  Me

My name is Lauretta Chalifoux

 I have always been an animal lover from as far back as I can remember. I was born and raised on a Farm in the County of Battle River in Alberta.

I can remember having pet cows, chickens, and of course dogs and cats. I always wanted to be outside with the animals then in the house doing girl stuff. Fast forward into Adulthood I was working a high stress job in the Corporate World till my health took a bit of a nose dive. It caused me to pause and re-evaluate what was important to me and I knew it was not living the way I was living. I spent a year at home with my 2 dogs and really looked at my life and knew whatever I did next needed to include my dogs. So I decided to quit my job and started my application for Rover.com My profile went live in approximately 3 weeks and to my surprise it exploded.

I did not realize the high demand for Doggy Daycare and Boarding Service. Once I started there was no turning back, I decided to open my own business, and obtained a Business License and Permit from the City Of Calgary and I have to say it has been the best 5 1/2 years of my Life.

Me on a Walk

“For over two years, K9 Cuddles has been a true home away from home for our beagle, Toffee. Lauretta and her family have an incredible way of making every pet feel like a cherished part of their own family, and it shows in every detail of their care.

The spacious, securely fenced yard at K9 Cuddles allows Toffee to run, play, and explore freely, while the soothing background music creates a peaceful retreat. Toffee always comes home happy and well-cared for, and the thoughtful gift of a collar tag with his name engraved was a touching gesture that made us feel like he’s truly part of their family”​​

Our dog Burton gets so excited when we drop him off at K9 cuddles.  He is very content and doesn’t seem stressed at all when we pick him up.  Lauretta always ensures he is ready to go when pick up time comes.   We totally recommend K9 cuddles for a safe enjoyable place to leave a pet.

K9 Cuddles…what can I say? BEST DAYCARE AND BOARDING IN CALGARY!!!!!

 

My Shih Tzu, Maddie, 2 1/2 years old, has been spending fun filled days with Lauretta since she was about 12 weeks old.  She happily goes once a week receiving Lauretta love and playing with her pup friends. Maddie has also boarded with Lauretta… sometimes a night or 2 and some times a week or more. Lauretta knows I have some separation anxiety…hahaha… so she sends me pictures to relieve my anxiety and they always make me smile.

 

Maddie is always excited to say hello to Lauretta when we arrive and, frankly, while she is happy to see me when I come for pick up, I think she wouldn’t mind staying for a few more hours.  So, Maddie has told me, by her actions, that Lauretta’s home is place she feels safe, secure and well loved.  Thank you so much, Lauretta!

K9 has been nothing but a trusted and caring second home for our dog. (Cooper) He goes absolutely crazy when we turn the corner towards the house because he knows he will be safe and be able to play with all his friends. We suspect he likes the TLC he gets when he is there as well!  Lauretta loves and takes care of him like he was hers. We are so grateful that we have found K9.

I've been using K9 Cuddles Doggy Daycare and Boarding Services for over 6 years, and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my dog. Lauretta is always professional, caring, and genuinely loves what she does. Whether it's for daycare or longer boarding stays, I know my dog is in the best hands, having fun and being well cared for. The peace of mind they provide is priceless, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their furry friend!
