Our Philosophy

Shake A Leg Petcare is all about safety, honesty, and fun! The safety of your pet is always our prime concern, no matter what the situation. For this reason, we do not take dogs off-leash, unless in an off-leash designated park, and with permission from the owners. We are always attentive to your dog's behaviour and health, and will immediately let you know if something doesn't seem right. We may find that a service we are providing isn't the right fit for your pet. If this occurs, we will inform you right away and work with you to find a solution that better suits your needs. Last but not least, we want your pets to have fun with us! We walk, feed, play fetch, cuddle -- whatever your pet needs to be happy. We can never take your place in your pet's eyes, but we can help them have fun when you can't be there. (read less)

Handsome Ollie came for his first stay recently and was such a good boy! You can tell he really loves his mom and dad, and he was a little nervous staying somewhere new, but he adjusted so well and we did lots of cuddling and even some playing!

So excited to welcome the adorable Kismet to the gang! Kismet started about a month ago and has been doing so well ❤️ She does still love trying to eat sticks (the smaller the better lol!) whenever possible, but she's been doing great with her crate training here and is such a sweetie. She's started playing with toys more and has started meeting some of the dogs now as well and had her first play session with one of our regular boys, Miles, recently. I can't wait to see her grown up and make lots of friends over the next few months!

My little wild child pal, Rolo, came for another sleepover recently and definitely got his workouts in! He had a blast running around like a maniac, playing with lots of toys, and trying to steal things out of my pocket (as usual lol!). He's such a character and always makes me laugh!

Daycare pups!! I don't get to post or get photos of all the daycare pups as often because they're usually running circles around me (and sometimes each other lol!) So here is a little bunch featuring Mika, Miles, Ares, and Nova - Nova and Mika look so similar! Love all of them so much! ❤️

Little Rosie was here for her first longer overnight a while back and was such a good girl! Rosie is a house dog, not a kennel dog, so she spent her vacation in my apartment - just the way she likes it lol! She's small but mighty and had a blast playing and walking up our long driveway in the beautiful snow (as long as there wasn't too much of it!). Such a little character!

Big boy Dexter was here for another little sleepover and had a great time playing (gently, because his back legs are delicate now that he's older!). He's such a sweetie and he LOVES getting comfy for a little after all his play sessions ❤️
