Big Puppy love

This was my first time ever relying on dog boarding for my dog, who is rarely left without me. I was recommended Rui by a friend, feeling rather confident that he would be trustworthy and easy going with this whole process. Glad to say my intuition was absolutely right! My dog was clearly very happy to have stayed with them, despite how anxious he can get when I am away. Based on my first experience, along with the whole process of coordinating over text, I recommend Rui at Big Puppy Love tremendously.

Rui has been a life saver! I know Oliver is in good hands and gets his walk in during the day. Thanks to Rui, I can relax during my workday knowing Oli is taken care of.
He is flexible, timely and passionate about what he does. Highly recommended. Rui brings his dog Baloo along and Oliver appreciates the company. Thank you Big Puppy Love for loving my big puppy.

We were in search of someone who could let our dogs out in the middle of the day as well as give mid-day cuddles. Rui is absolutely wonderful with our dogs and goes above and beyond any expectation we had. Rui is incredibly friendly and understanding - he quickly won us over during our meet and greet! Our dogs instantly loved him. Personally, my favourite are the mid-day pictures I get which is a very nice touch! You will not be disappointed with hiring Big Puppy Love.

I believe Rui is a good dog walker and can do very well with a low maintenance dog. However I would not recommend him to anyone who has a special needs dog. We tried our best to communicate everything ahead of time and had two “trial” boardings with him, we feel we have to “chase” him down to get updates about our dog from him.

My dog just seems to be not doing well with him which never happens with our dog daycare and dog sitter before, it seems he may not have the time to pay enough attention unfortunately.

We moved to Elmvale recently but had a hard time finding someone in our area, luckily Rui was able to accommodate us. He visits our 10 month old American Bulldog daily and it’s easily Bauer’s favourite time of the day!

Rui is always punctual and provides feedback & photos after Bauer’s walks. He brings his own pup Baloo, he and Bauer get along so well. Bauer is always ready for a long nap once he’s finished his time with Rui & Baloo, we look forward to continuing our relationship with them!

It is definitely worth the investment, if you have a bored puppy at home definitely get in touch with Rui!
