TESTIMONIALS

Hands down — the absolute BEST doggy daycare & boarding in Toronto! We have 2 high energy medium/large dogs, so structured days + frequent walks were what drew us in (things no other daycare we’ve been to has offered). We love the regular pic/video updates, and their brand new fully enclosed outdoor space offers our pups even more outside time throughout the day. But above all else, it is Shanice’s clear passion for providing a safe, reliable, and enriching environment for our dogs that keeps us all coming back. We always know they are in good hands!! 10s across the board!!

"Our dogs, Lia & Stitch stayed with Prudent Paws multiple times. We cannot be any happier with the whole experience! Shanice always keeps us posted about their well-being and takes great care of them. I can see that they’re always happy to come back. Thanks a lot Shanice! You’re the best!!"

"Shanice is truly one of a kind. She is so genuinely invested in the health and happiness of our pup, and we are so thankful that we found her! She sends photo and video updates throughout the day, and they literally make me laugh out loud. I know our pup is in the best hands and is having the best time. The peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for a caring, structured and safe doggy daycare, I cannot recommend Prudent Paws enough! THANK YOU SHANICE!"

"Hey pals! 🐾 Browny here, livin' my best doggy life at Prudent Paws thanks to the amazing Shanice! 🌟 While my folks jetted off for vacay, I was busy struttin' my stuff, makin' new furry friends, and havin' the time of my life. Shanice? Oh, she's a rockstar! Kept me in the loop all day long, treatin' me like the VIP pup I am. Grateful for her TLC and Prudent Paws' paw-some vibes! 🐶✨ #DoggyDreams #PrudentPawsPerks"

"My pup is gentle soul and needs thoughtful, compassionate care- and that’s exactly what she receives at Prudent Paws. The owner Shanice keeps a close eye on her and all the other pups under her care, watching for any health statuses or behaviors- and play! Be it any of the three, Shanice updates me daily and if I have any questions, she responds promptly. She’s also been a life saver when life has been chaotic. Nova has enjoyed her weekly stays and I've noticed a positive (paw-stive if you will!) change since her visits! Before she was skittish around bigger dogs but Shanice worked with us during her meet and greet- now she says hi to every big dog she sees!

Their name says it all- Paws for all the fun the pups have while Prudent to keep everyone safe, healthy and happy! Every dog receives individual attention to achieve this. Couldn’t leave my pup in safer hands :)"

"I boarded my dog Cubert for 3 weeks while on vacation, and Prudent Paws went above and beyond with the level of care they provided. I loved how we got daily updates on how our dog was doing, it really set our mind at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation fully. I also liked how the facility is in the city since Cubert doesn't usually get that sort of exposure. I would definitely trust Shanice and her team to take care of Cubert again in the future."

"I have a Shiba Inu and this breed is known for not trusting people instantly. As for Shanice, she was an exception. My dog got super attached and trusted her almost immediately. Shanice was professional, friendly, communicative, and sent pictures and videos so you’re up to date with your dog’s stay. I definitely recommend Shanice to anyone that wants to leave their dog at a friendly dog spot without worrying about it. Thank you Shanice!"

We are so lucky to have found Shanice who is incredibly responsible and trustworthy. She takes such good care of our girls (2 medium/large size dogs). They always come back happy and tired. We appreciate her daily updates and know they are in great hands. Would highly recommend! 10/10

"We were amazed by the service at Prudent Paws. Shanice will go above and beyond while taking care of our dogs. We received frequent updates and they absolutely loved her! We had a great experience and highly recommend her."

"I’m so appreciative of Shanice for taking care of my two boys. I have no worries when dropping them off during the week while my husband and I work. They always come back exhausted and happy!

I know they enjoy their time there from having to drag them away from her door on our walks since it’s not their day to visit."

"I believe my boy Ozzy had a great time at prudent paw. Thank you again Shanice!!!

Prudent paw deserves more than 5stars!!! Everything just wonderful!!! Easy communication and answering all my questions. I felt comfortable that my dog stays with the owner Shanice and her pack!!!

I love them have the schedule for the day so I can have an idea what my dog is doing and also I got messages, pictures and videos from Shanice!!My dog looks absolutely enjoying the day!!

I am highly recommend Prudent paw!!"

"My husband and I couldn’t be more happier with Shanice @ Prudent Paws! We had our rescue dog, Tanok, stay with Shanice while we were away on vacation. As a rescue dog, he struggles with mild reactivity on leash and we were struggling to find boarding that could accommodate him but also provide the socialization that he needed.

Booking the meet-and-greet was so easy. So many other places required lengthy forms, documents, and etc as the first step. But Shanice makes it easy and accessible for everyone- just book directly on her site! We also did a trial night for Tanok to see if it was a good fit and that really eased any concerns/ worries we had.

While we were away, Shanice gave us so many updates and cute/ funny videos. Communication was also top notch. We’re so thankful she was willing to work with Tanok despite his mild reactivity. He clearly had lots of fun, made new friends, and overall, had a great first boarding experience with Prudent Paws.

We will definitely be using her services again!!"

"Shanice was great! She was very accommodating on short notice, and was very caring of our dog. Location is also a plus in the city."

"Shanice has been wonderful with Homer. What we appreciate most is how responsive and reliable she is. It may seem expected, but that's not always the case and with Shanice, it makes a huge difference. She's always been there for us when we need her, whether it's for pup daycare when we're in the office or when we're away on a trip. In the past, our pup has been unpredictable with other dogs so we were concerned about how he'd interact with them. Shanice was attentive, kept a close eye and was firm to correct any behaviour as needed. Over the last few months, we've noticed a significant improvement and a lot can be attributed to how Shanice socialized him.

She adores every pup as if they were her own - you can tell by the way she engages with them and how they respond to her. We'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their fur babies."

We recently boarded our dog for the first time with Shanice, and were so impressed by the level of care. Shanice sent regular updates, and from the pictures (not to mention how tired he was when we picked him up) we could tell he had a great time. Now every time we walk by Prudent Paws, my dog bee-lines it for the door. He can't wait to go back, and we will definitely keep trusting Shanice whenever we need overnight care. Thanks again Shanice!! :)

"5 stars, 10/10, could not recommend more enthusiastically!! We recently boarded our pup at Prudent Paws while we were on vacation with complete peace of mind that she was in excellent hands with Shanice while we were away. We regularly use Prudent Paws for daycare service and have been beyond happy with the care and attention our St. Bernard puppy receives. Shanice even organized a photoshoot on Valentine's Day - just one of many examples of how she goes above and beyond with the dogs in her care."

"Very grateful this place exists. I rescued a dog last year and he's absolutely amazing except doesn't do well with overnight stays in kennels. I travel for work occasionally and rely on dog daycares to take care of my pup when I'm in meetings. The location of Prudent Paws was perfect for me and Shanice is remarkably flexible, easy going, responsive, and reliable. My dog always comes out tired and happy. Will definitely use this service again!"

"My rambunctious golden retriever puppy loves Prudent Paws, and so do I! Shanice takes good care of the doggos, communicates well with paw-rents and is happy to offer tips if you need them. I always have peace of mind when my puppy's at Prudent Paws, and having this facility nearby has been a godsend for me. The photo and video updates always show the dogs happy with big smiles on their faces. My puppy has even made a BFF (best furry friend) at Prudent Paws, and has playdates with her outside the daycare!"

"I highly recommend Shanice for all your dog sitting and boarding needs! She is very communicative, always keeping me updated on how my dog Tetris is doing. I never had to worry about him and he always has a great time! Shanice was able to accommodate when I was running late to pick up Tetris which really put me at ease."

"So happy to have found Shanice & Prudent Paws! My partner flies for work a lot and we wanted to find a reliable option for our 2 year old bernedoodle Willow on days where I also need to go into the office. Shanice is so flexible! We no longer stress about what we are going to do when a last minute work emergency comes up, one text to Shanice and she is very accommodating!

Our girl tends to be very shy so we were initially nervous about the whole ordeal but we have absolutely noticed a positive difference in Willow ever since she started attending Prudent paws day care. Shanice provides lots of updates throughout the day and responds quickly to inquiries.

We can’t recommend Prudent Paws enough!! Thank you so much Shanice!"
