OUR STORY

Camp Canine began with a simple goal:
To create a place where dogs feel safe, understood, and genuinely happy.
After years working in the pet care industry, Alexis saw a gap, a need for a place where dogs are treated as individuals, not just another booking. With strong relationships built through experience and trust, she created Camp Canine to offer a more thoughtful, personalized approach to dog care with commitment to doing things differently, with plans tailored to each pup’s needs. We strive to make every experience, whether it’s a first groom or a daily visit, positive, enriching, and low-stress. We’ve grown, welcomed more dogs, and expanded our services. But our heart remains the same: To be a second home for the dogs we’re lucky enough to care for.

OUR MISSION

At Camp Canine, our mission is to provide thoughtful, personalized care that supports every dog’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. We believe dogs deserve more than just the basics: they deserve connection, compassion, and a place where they can truly thrive. We’ve created a safe, structured, and joyful environment where dogs are treated with respect, kindness, and understanding. Whether they’re here for daycare, boarding, grooming, or just a walk, we take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs. Our team, composed of staff with IAABC and pet first aid certification, is committed to ongoing learning and prioritizing safety, comfort, and long-term confidence for every dog we work with. At the heart of Camp Canine is a simple belief: dogs are individuals. They deserve consistency, compassion, and high-quality care. We’re here to deliver exactly that, while building lasting trust with our clients, our community, and the dogs we’re lucky to know.

ALEXIS
OWNER
Alexis started Camp Canine at 28 after realizing what she really wanted to do was create a safe, fun, and supportive space for dogs. She grew up in a family that always had dogs and had never lived in a house without one. In 2020, she worked as a Pet Parent Relationship Manager at a dog daycare in Scarborough and everything clicked. She saw how much more could be done to give dogs the care and structure they deserve. Camp Canine was built around that idea. We’re not just a place to drop your dog off. We’re a community space. We believe in total transparency and we work with you to make sure your dog gets the best start, especially when it comes to socialization and grooming. Our goal is simple. We want to help dogs live their best lives and support the people who love them.
