Trying to Fit a Puppy into a Busy Day?

Want Everyone Following the Same Routine?

Puppies learn best when everyone communicates consistently. We follow your feeding schedule, bathroom and crate routines, along with the familiar words and positive training cues used by your family and trainer.

More joy in their day. More peace in yours

Why Professional Puppy Care Matters

The early months are filled with new routines, new skills and plenty of surprises. Consistent puppy visits support the work you are doing at home while giving your puppy the care, activity and companionship they need during the day.

Supports Bathroom and Crate Routines

Timely bathroom opportunities help reinforce the routine you are establishing and prevent your puppy from being left in their crate longer than is appropriate for their individual needs.

Provides Consistent Training Support

We follow the familiar words, cues and positive techniques you and your trainer use, helping your puppy receive clear and consistent messages from everyone involved in their care.

Keeps Feeding Schedules on Track

Many young puppies require a midday meal. We can serve their food, refresh their water and provide an appropriate bathroom opportunity afterward.

Provides Age-Appropriate Activity and Enrichment

Play, sniffing, gentle activity and enrichment provide a healthy outlet for growing puppy energy and can help your puppy feel happier and more settled after their visit.

Takes Care of Unexpected Accidents

Puppies are still learning, and accidents happen. If we discover one, we’ll clean the area as thoroughly as possible using the supplies you provide. If bedding has been soiled, we’ll replace it with fresh bedding when available so your puppy is always comfortable.

Supports Positive Early Socialization

Socialization involves much more than meeting other dogs. Positive experiences with calm, trusted caregivers can help your puppy become comfortable with different people entering the home and providing care.

More Precise Timing for Puppies

You’re never locked into one length

Puppy Visit Options and Pricing

Choose the visit lengths that best match your puppy’s age, feeding schedule, bathroom needs, energy level and the amount of time they will be alone.

You don’t need to choose the same visit length throughout the day or as your puppy grows.

Puppy Essentials — 30 minutes

$32.25 + HST

Time for a bathroom opportunity, fresh water, personal attention and light play, with feeding when required. We can also reinforce the familiar cues and routines your puppy is learning.

Puppy Play and Enrichment — 45 minutes

$37.25 + HST

Quick Puppy Break — 15 minutes

$29 + HST

A short, timely bathroom opportunity and check-in for puppies who need an additional break during the day.

Additional note

Longer puppy visits may also be available by request. Talk to us about your puppy and schedule, and we’ll help you decide whether extended care would be useful.

Mix and Match to Suit Your Puppy’s Day

Your puppy’s visits don’t all need to be the same length. Depending on their age and how long they will be alone, you might choose a shorter visit in the morning, a longer visit around lunchtime and another break later in the afternoon.

You can also change visit lengths and frequency as your puppy grows. There are no packages to purchase and no minimum number of visits.

We can accommodate changing and rotating schedules in most circumstances, although all visits remain subject to availability.

Each week, you’ll receive confirmation of the following week’s visits. Changes should be submitted through the app or conversation feed by 4:00 PM on Friday, before the following week’s routes and team schedules are finalized.

Every published rate includes care for one dog. An additional fee of $8 + HST per visit applies for each additional dog in the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about home access, cancellations, holidays or our team? Visit our complete FAQ page.

Does My Puppy Need to Have All Their Vaccinations?

No. Because our puppy visits are private and take place in your home, care can begin before your puppy has completed their full vaccination series.

Until your veterinarian confirms that public outings are appropriate, we’ll keep your puppy’s activity within your home and secure yard and will not allow interaction with unfamiliar dogs.

How Old Does My Puppy Need to Be?

We can begin caring for your puppy as soon as they come home and your account and introductory meeting are complete. Very young puppies may require shorter, more frequent visits throughout the day.

Will You Feed My Puppy Their Lunch?

Absolutely. Many young puppies require a midday meal, and we’re happy to follow the feeding instructions you provide. We can serve their food, refresh their water and provide a bathroom opportunity afterward.

Will You Continue the Training We’re Doing With Our Puppy?

Yes. Although we don’t replace a puppy class or professional dog trainer, we will follow the familiar words, cues and positive techniques you are already using.

We’ll ask you to share those details so your puppy receives consistent messages from everyone involved in their care.

Can You Help With Crate and House Training?

Our visits can support the bathroom and crate routines you are establishing. We’ll follow your instructions, provide timely bathroom opportunities and settle your puppy back into their crate before leaving when that is part of their routine.

Will the Same Person Visit My Puppy Every Time?

Your puppy may be cared for by more than one familiar team member. This provides dependable backup and gives your puppy positive experiences with several calm, trusted caregivers.

What remains consistent is the care itself. Every team member follows the same detailed information about your puppy’s routine, familiar cues and individual needs.

How to Get Started

Getting Started Is Easy

Get in Touch

Tell us a little about your puppy, the care you need and how you would prefer us to contact you. A member of our team will be in touch to answer your initial questions.

Set Up Your Secure Account

We’ll send you a link to your Time To Pet account, where you can tell us about your puppy’s feeding, bathroom and crate routines, familiar cues, personality and care needs.

Your puppy can’t tell us what they need, so the more information you share, the better we can care for them.

Meet Us on Zoom

We’ll schedule a complimentary 15-minute Zoom Meet & Greet with our Office Manager or Owner. We’ll review your puppy’s information, explain how everything works and answer your questions.

We allow extra time when someone has additional questions or needs a little more reassurance. If you would like to meet one of your puppy’s caregivers before the first visit, let us know and we’ll arrange it.

Your Puppy’s Care Begins

Once everything is in place, we’ll confirm the schedule. You can request visits, send updates and manage your account through our secure app.

When Your Puppy Grows Up

Care That Grows With Your Puppy

As your puppy matures, their daytime needs will change. We can gradually adjust the timing, length and focus of their visits based on what you are seeing at home and what we observe during their care.

When your puppy is ready for more neighbourhood exercise, we can transition them smoothly into our private dog-walking service. They’ll continue receiving personalized care from the same dependable YPPS team.
