We pull up in the purple bus, whisk your pup off to our private, gated adventure grounds, and bring them home happy, tired, and full of stories, with photos to prove it.
No drop-offs, no parking lots, no logistics on your end. We handle the whole adventure, start to finish.
The purple bus rolls up to your house and your dog hops in with the crew, calm and familiar, no stress.
We head to our private, secured and gated property with room to run, sniff and explore safely.
Group play, enrichment activities and real outdoor fun, supervised every minute. New friends included.
We drop your pup back home worn out in the best way, with photo updates so you don't miss a thing.
Most dog walkers do a quick loop of your neighbourhood. We give dogs a proper day out, and bring the bus to you.
Dogs are social. Yours gets a pack, structured play and real socialization every single visit.
Our secured grounds mean safe freedom and space to actually be a dog, with fences you can trust.
Pickup and drop-off right at your home in Ancaster. You don't lift a finger.
Activities built to tire the body and work the brain. The good kind of tired.
You get updates and pictures from each adventure, so you see exactly what your dog got up to.
Michelle started Ancaster Dog Adventures after deciding she wanted to spend more of her days outdoors and around animals, and she hasn't looked back since. What began as a love for dogs grew into a job she looks forward to every morning: getting to know each pup, watching them make friends out on the grounds, and bringing them home happy and worn out. She loves every minute of it, and the dogs can tell.
Michelle always takes the best care of Teddy. He loves seeing his friends and comes back happy and stimulated every single day.
Marley looks forward to being picked up by Michelle every morning. We couldn’t get through our busy work week without Ancaster Dog Adventures.
Rufus has become so much more social since joining Michelle’s pack walks. He’s far less reactive to other dogs and so much better behaved.
Follow along on Instagram for daily adventures, muddy paws and happy faces.
Follow @ancasterdogadventuresTell us a little about your dog. Michelle will reach out to set up a free meet-and-greet, evaluate your pup, and put together a quote based on how often you'd like adventures.
It's not a one-off booking. It's the start of a regular routine your dog will look forward to.
Thanks! Michelle will be in touch soon to set up your dog's meet-and-greet.
We pick up and drop off throughout Ancaster, Ontario. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask when you request your evaluation.
Our adventures are group outings. That's the whole point. Dogs get to socialize, play and explore together at our gated grounds, always supervised. Your dog's fit with the group is exactly what the meet-and-greet evaluation is for.
Most social, friendly dogs love it. The free evaluation lets Michelle meet your pup, see how they do around other dogs, and make sure everyone has a great time.
Rain or shine, the dogs go out and play. A little weather doesn't stop the fun. On wet or muddy days, Michelle takes the time at each drop-off to wipe down and clean every dog before they head back inside, so your pup comes home happy and tired without tracking the outdoors in with them.
Whatever works best for your home. Michelle is flexible and sorts out safe access with each owner one-on-one, whether that's a lockbox, an automated or smart lock, a garage code, or simply greeting you at the door. Every dog's pickup and drop-off routine is tailored to your lifestyle, so the days run smoothly whether you're home or not.
For everyone's safety on group adventures, Michelle follows the same standard that daycares and group dog services across Ancaster, Hamilton and the greater Toronto area use. Your dog should be up to date on rabies (required by Ontario law for any dog over three months), the DHPP/DA2PP combination (distemper, adenovirus/hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvovirus), and Bordetella, the kennel cough vaccine that's standard for any dog in a group setting. Canine influenza and leptospirosis aren't required but are worth a chat with your vet if your pup is out and about a lot. Nothing to send ahead of time, Michelle will go over your dog's records with you at the free meet-and-greet.
Pricing depends on how often your dog joins us, so we quote it after the free meet-and-greet evaluation. Request yours above and we'll walk you through it.
Yes. Ancaster Dog Adventures is fully insured and Michelle is Pet First Aid certified.
