K9 CUDDLES DOGGY DAYCARE AND BOARDING SERVICES
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
S.M
Where to even begin to explain the remarkable dog care services provided by Lauretta and her team at K-9 Cuddles. I have been using her boarding services for about two years now and can’t find the words to describe how incredible she really is. My job keeps me away from my little guys every week as I work a week-on week-off schedule, so finding dog care originally seemed overwhelming to me.
At first I was nervous about boarding them when I started this new shift as most of my research on dog sitters had shown they had either multiple black out dates or exorbitant prices for 2 dogs for 7 days. I was looking for something affordable and consistent as I wanted the transition to be as easy on them as possible. My other concern when I first started looking at dog boarding was one of my little ones does not do well with other dogs or new people. She’s very quiet and reserved (afraid of her own shadow if you will). Since starting her at K-9 Cuddles I have noticed a huge change in her demeanor, personality, and coping skills when it comes to strangers.
Lauretta sends me pictures and videos of my little guys playing with other dogs and cuddling up with the team, which as an avid dog lover who is separated from his “kids” every week, the pictures and videos go along away in letting me know they are in good care. On top of pictures and videos she also sends regular updates on how they are doing and she is easily reachable at any time throughout the day if I need to check in. My other little guy is so enthusiastic about boarding when we pull up to her house he knows exactly where he is and howls and cries with excitement. To him, boarding is essentially a summer camp every week.
I was fortunate enough to find K-9 Cuddles and can’t imagine my life without them Lauretta and her team are available 24-7, her easy and flexible scheduling makes my life as dream as my schedule can change at the drop of a hat, often in terms of pick up and drop off dates and she always manages to make it a seamlessly easy process, no matter what I throw at her.
If you are in the market for dog sitter for boarding or day care I would highly recommend taking the time to contact K-9 Cuddles. I am thankful everyday that I found them. The whole team has a level of professionalism and caring that you will not find anywhere else.

I got my little girlie, Hazel, when she was 3 months old. Being a single person who works a lot of hours, I needed someone to help with caring for Hazel during my work days and someone I could rely on in then event that work required me to work late.
We found Lauretta on Rover and her reviews were amazing. She lived close to my home and her prices were so reasonable. These are the reasons I asked Lauretta to meet to see if her home would be a good fit for Hazel. After meeting Lauretta and seeing how kind, warm and loving she was towards Hazel, I knew this was the place I'd leave my girl when I needed help.
What I didn't anticipate was how quickly Lauretta would become family, how much she would love my girl and how much I would come to rely on Lauretta for the next year.
Every day, I dropped Hazel off at Lauretta's and she was greeted with so much love and happiness. Every evening when I picked her up, she was tired and very well cared for.
When work required me to travel, Lauretta was there. When I needed a little break from my super needy pup, Lauretta was there. When my dog struggled with separation anxiety and needed some extra love, Lauretta was there.
She is so flexible and so understanding and it is evident that caring for these pups is much more than just a job to her.
In early 2020, I bought a home on the other side of the city so as much as it broke my heart, bringing Hazel to Lauretta's each day was not a possibility. However, we still make sure to schedule a sleepover with Lauretta about once a month.
She is such an important person to Hazel and has been since she was so small. Hazel is so excited every time we turn down Lauretta's street and she cannot wait to see her!
We feel so fortunate to have her!

Lauretta is an amazing person who really cares and loves the dogs, she has a great big yard and a secure environment, since we were visiting Calgary, we were in touch with her about how my puppy is doing and always got an instant text.

K9 Cuddles, is the perfect fit my little yorkie. He loves playing with all his friends, big and small. Cuddling up with Lauretta for quiet time, a nap or just for some love. I can't say enough how my shy and anxious guy.
Became so confident and loving to all dogs.His two best friends are at K9cuddles. One is a husky mix the other a lab mix, both much larger than he is.and to think any dog bigger than him use to scare him. Being at K9cuddles, that fear disappeared. It didnt take long for him to settle and feel like one of big guys.
Now he's almost 2 years old and right along with all of them, he perfers to play with the bigger ones. His excitement to go, is awesome to see. He loves daycare. So much so, sometimes he dosnt want to come home!
The one thing your garenteed at K9cuddles, is lots of love and attention. Lauretta screens and makes sure all pups that attend k9cuddles are a good match, you can trust that your pup will be happy. Your fur baby is also thier fur baby. It's honestly your pups home away from home.. you won't regret becoming part of the family!!

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!

"I can’t say enough good things about Lauretta! From day one, she’s shown how truly caring and dedicated she is to my dog. I’ve always been hesitant about trusting dog care services, but Lauretta has completely changed my mind. She’s honest, reliable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup is happy and healthy. It’s such a relief to know I can count on her. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family, Lauretta is the one!"

“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
Lauretta and her family have created something special at K9 Cuddles, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with Toffee’s care. If you’re looking for a place where your pet will be loved and treated like royalty, K9 Cuddles is the place to go!

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!
