About Dog Devotion Pet Care Service

Founded in the spring of 2011, our business began as a full-range pet sitting service and has since evolved to focus mainly on providing exceptional daycare and play groups for social dogs. With years of experience, we have honed our approach to create a safe, enriching, and loving environment where dogs can thrive. We are committed to staying up to date with industry best practices and adhere to positive reinforcement methods to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience for every dog in our care. We understand the importance of allowing dogs to express their natural behaviours, which is why we provide appropriate outlets for sniffing, foraging, digging, chewing, and exploring. As a fully insured and registered business, we prioritize safety and are certified in pet first aid, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in expert hands.

About The Owner – Janis Lapins

Hi, I’m Janis! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been my passion. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog care provider, I have dedicated my career to working with dogs, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve.

I strongly believe in using science-based methods and adhere to the CAPDT Code of Ethics, which includes following the LIMA (Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive) approach and respecting the Humane Hierarchy to ensure the well-being and happiness of every dog in my care. My philosophy is simple: dogs should have a safe and loving environment where they can be themselves and express their natural behaviours.

Beyond my work in dog care, I am a proud supporter of animal rescue organizations. I’ve had the privilege of volunteering for many rescues and fostering countless animals in my home, helping them find the loving families they deserve. When I’m not caring for your dogs, you’ll likely find me exploring the outdoors with my own pup, playing hockey, or capturing the excitement of life through action and dog photography.

I look forward to welcoming your furry family members and providing them with a home-away-from-home experience full of love, fun, and care!
