Boarding at Julspops Ranch
At Julspops Ranch, your dog stays in a comfortable, home-style environment where they receive personalized care, attention and companionship throughout their stay.
Crates are not routinely used unless your dog arrives with their own crate and is already crate-trained. Dogs are welcome to sleep on the bed, cuddle on the couch and enjoy the comforts of a real home.
We freshly wash and sanitize all dog beds and blankets before each guest’s stay.
Boarding Care Includes
- Two daily walks
- Indoor playtime and outdoor play in a fully fenced, secure backyard
- Access to a variety of dog toys, which are cleaned and rotated regularly and replaced when damaged
- Summer fun with a small dog pool and doggie sprinkler pads
- Feeding and fresh water
- Medication administration, when required
- Plenty of companionship, attention and love throughout the day
Additional Pets
Boarding rates are based on 24 hours of personalized care.
Additional pets from the same household are offered at a discounted rate and receive the same level of care and attention.
Treats & Feeding
As a special treat, I offer PureBites dog liver treats, which are a simple option for dogs with allergies or dietary sensitivities.
If your dog has a preferred treat, please provide it along with their food.
Owners are responsible for keeping me informed of any dietary requirements, changes in appetite, feeding instructions or other needs related to their dog’s age or health.
Pickup – Extended Stay Policy
Boarding stays are charged in 24-hour periods. If your pet remains in my care beyond the initial 24-hour period, an extended-stay flat rate will apply.
A reduced flat rate applies for stays of up to 7 hours beyond the 24 hours. If your pet remains in my care for more than 7 hours, a higher flat rate will apply.
Additional pets from the same household receive a discounted extended-stay rate.
Please keep in mind that when your pet stays beyond 24 hours, I may be unable to accept another boarding client during that time to continue providing dedicated care for your pet. For this reason, extended-stay rates are strictly enforced.
Additional walks or outdoor time may also be provided during an extended stay, depending on your pet’s needs and the length of their stay.
🐾 Boarding Requirements
Vaccinations
Dogs must be up to date on the following vaccinations:
- Rabies
- Distemper
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
A current copy of your dog’s vaccination records is required. It is the pet owner’s responsibility to keep Julspops Ranch updated with valid vaccination information to help ensure the health and safety of all pets in my care.
It is also recommended that dogs remain up to date on non-core vaccinations, such as Lyme and Leptospirosis.
Flea, Tick & Parasite Prevention
Dogs must be on appropriate flea, tick and parasite prevention from April through November.
Year-round prevention is strongly recommended for continued protection, especially as ticks can remain active throughout the year.
Behaviour Expectations
To maintain a safe, calm and comfortable home environment, all boarding dogs must:
- Be house-trained
- Not urine-mark indoors
- Not display destructive behaviour
- Be comfortable and friendly around other dogs
- Not display human-directed aggression, including biting, snapping or intentional aggressive behaviour
For the safety and well-being of all pets in my home, dogs who cannot safely meet these requirements may not be suitable for boarding at Julspops Ranch.
Bathing & Grooming
Dogs must arrive clean and reasonably groomed.
If a dog arrives unbathed and requires a bath, a bathing fee will apply.
Julspops Ranch is a private home rather than a kennel, so maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for all visiting pets is important.
Home Environment
Julspops Ranch is a home-based boarding environment, which means dogs receive individual attention, household companionship and the opportunity to relax as they would at home.
Pet Sitting in Your Home
Day Visits & Overnight Stays
For pets who are more comfortable staying in their own home due to age, special care needs, or simply because they prefer their familiar surroundings, in-home pet sitting provides personalized care, companionship and peace of mind while keeping your home occupied.
Day Visits
Day visits are available for dogs, cats and other small pets and are tailored to your pet’s individual needs.
Depending on your pet’s needs and the service booked, care may include:
- Dog walks and bathroom breaks
- Outdoor time and backyard play
- Feeding and fresh water
- Cleaning pet bowls
- Playtime and companionship
- Brushing
- Cleaning up accidents
- Administering medications and following written care instructions
- Photos and updates during your absence
Overnight Stays – Your Home
Overnight care provides 13 hours of personalized care in your home, arriving at 6 pm leave at 7 am, including evening and morning care.
An overnight stay includes:
- Evening and morning dog walks as part of your dog’s routine
- Outdoor yard time
- Feeding and fresh water
- Cleaning pet bowls
- Brushing and playtime
- Bathroom breaks
- Cleaning up accidents
- Administering medications and following written care instructions
- Photos and updates during your absence
- General home security check
- Bringing in mail, parcels, flyers and newspapers

- Putting out garbage and recycling and bringing bins back in
Midday Backyard Visit Included
Overnight stays also include a 30-minute midday backyard visit between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at no additional charge.
This visit provides your dog with a bathroom break, outdoor time and companionship during the day.
The midday visit is provided in addition to the overnight stay and is not a 24-hour or live-in pet sitting service.
Additional Pets
Additional pets from the same household are welcome and receive the same level of attentive care and services as the first pet. There are no reduced services simply because you have multiple pets.
Rates
Rates are based on the service requested, length of care (30, 45 or 60 minutes), number of pets and their individual care needs. Additional pets from the same household are welcome and will receive a discounted rate.
Additional Care
Additional fees may apply for:
- More than two medications or extensive medication administration
- Specialized or time-consuming care requirements
- Requests outside of the standard services included with your booking
Please discuss any additional care requirements with me when booking so I can ensure I have enough time to properly care for your pets.
Important Information
Julspops does not provide 24/7 live-in pet sitting. Overnight stays are designed to provide dedicated evening and overnight care in your home, with the included midday backyard visit providing additional daytime care. I continue to provide scheduled services for other clients during the day.
Dog Walking / Visits
Private visits only – no group walks, off-leash walks, or dog parks.
Private Visits
Visits are available in 30-, 45-, and 60-minute time periods and are tailored to your dog’s individual needs and routine.
A visit includes a walk, but the full visit time does not necessarily consist of all walking. Depending on your dog’s needs, age, weather, energy level and care instructions, time may also include:
- Feeding and fresh water
- Bathroom breaks
- Outdoor time and backyard play
- Playtime and companionship
- Brushing
- Medication administration when required
- Cleaning up accidents
- Rest and one-on-one attention
The goal is to provide your dog with the care and attention they need during the time I am with them, rather than simply focusing on the length of the walk.
Additional dogs from the same household are welcome and receive the same level of care, attention and safety standards throughout the visit.
Poop bags are provided, and fresh cold water is always provided during hot weather.
Medications
Medications may be administered in combination with any of the services listed above.
All medications must be:
- Clearly labelled with your pet’s name

If more than two medications are required, additional fees may apply.
