Meet your caregivers
A quiet stay with Josee and Roupen.
Josee and Roupen welcome dogs into their home with patient, personal care. Because we host only one family’s dog or dogs at a time, the house stays calm and routines can be shaped around each guest.
That quieter setting can be especially welcoming for anxious and older dogs who may not enjoy a busy kennel or a large group.
A typical day
Easy arrivals and unhurried pickups.
Drop-offs are usually around 9 a.m. and pickups are by 6 p.m. We know plans can shift, so timing is flexible when arranged with us in advance.
Before a first stay, we arrange a meet-and-greet at our home so your dog can become familiar with Josee, Roupen, and the house.
Care for short stays, long stays, and everything between.
Whether you need daytime help, a safe overnight stay, or extended care while you travel, The Doggies Den keeps things personal and home-based.
Overnight Boarding
A cozy home-away-from-home for nights, weekends, and short trips.
Long-Term Stays
Extended care for vacations or longer commitments, quoted based on your dog’s needs.
Photo Updates
Optional updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and loved.
Meet & Greet
A visit at our home helps your dog get to know us and the house before the stay.
Private Care
Welcoming one family at a time means more attention, calmer energy, and a familiar routine.
House rules
Safe, sweet, and respectful dogs only.
The Doggies Den is a home environment, so dogs must be well-behaved and house-trained.
- Well-behaved dogs only
- House-trained — no indoor messes
- A meet-and-greet at our home is required before the first stay.
- All dogs require proof of current core vaccinations.
Why pet parents choose us
More like family care than facility care.
Big commercial facilities are not right for every dog. Some pups do better in a loving home with fewer dogs, familiar routines, and a calmer environment.
- Home-based comfort
- Personal attention and routines
- Short-term and long-term flexibility
- Serving Cochrane, Calgary, and surrounding area
