Your Dog Deserves the Best Care
Whether it’s a walk or an overnight stay, we’re here.
Is Max and Joy
the Right Fit for Your Dog?
We are not the right choice for everyone, and that is intentional. Here is who we work best with:
Dogs that do not cope well in large, loud kennel facilities
Anxious or sensitive dogs that need calm, structured environments
Dogs that do better with a small familiar group than a large mixed pack
Owners that want consistent caregivers, not a different person every visit
Owners that want regular updates, not silence until pickup time
If that sounds like your situation, we are probably a good fit.
We Serve All Areas of Greater Sudbury
Dog walking is available throughout Greater Sudbury. For daycare and boarding, you drop off at our home, so most of the region works.

About Max and Joy
Max and Joy started as a dog walking service in Greater Sudbury. Over time, our clients started asking for more: somewhere their dog could go during the day, or stay overnight while they travelled. They did not want a kennel. They wanted somewhere their dog could actually relax.
So we built that. We now offer walking, daycare, boarding, and pet sitting from our home in Sudbury. Every dog in our care is treated as a guest. We know their names, their routines, and what makes them comfortable. That is not something you get from a facility with rotating staff.

Common Questions
No. For daycare, boarding, and pet sitting, your dog comes to our home. The only service where we come to you is dog walking. This is intentional. Caring for your dog in our own environment means we can control the space, the group size, and the routine properly.
We keep our group intentionally small. That is the rule, not a target. It keeps the environment calm and makes sure every dog gets real attention.
Yes, always. We meet every dog before their first stay. It helps your dog get comfortable with our home, and lets us confirm they are a good fit with whoever else is currently booked.
Tell us when you reach out. We are experienced with anxious and reactive dogs, and our home-based small-group model is actually well suited to them. We will be honest if we think another service would work better for your dog.
We cover most of Greater Sudbury. For dog walking, you need to be within our service area. For everything else, you drop your dog off at our home, so distance is less of an issue.
