ABOUT SODOG

At SODOG, we believe dog daycare should feel like a second home. We’re not just another daycare—we’re a boutique, high-end facility designed to provide the very best care and comfort for your dog.

Every dog is unique, and we understand their needs and moods can shift throughout the day. That’s why we’ve built an experience that offers choice, variety, and freedom—whether your pup is ready to romp in safe, supervised off-leash play, curl up for a nap, sniff out some enrichment activities, or soak up a little extra human attention.

What makes SODOG truly different is our boutique approach. We limit capacity so our playrooms are never overcrowded, ensuring plenty of space for safe play, stress-free socializing, and clean, comfortable rest.

We go beyond the basics with curated enrichment—like scent games, interactive toys, and confidence-building activities—that keep minds engaged as well as bodies active. It’s a balance of fun, learning, and comfort that helps dogs thrive.

At SODOG, your dog isn’t just cared for—they’re celebrated. We treat every guest like family, making sure their day is filled with joy, comfort, and plenty of tail wags.

We will assess your dogs behaviour on their first day, which is our first step in getting to know each dogs unique ethnological needs.

We will help dogs in our care learn about relaxed play, whilst recognizing when they need time out and a change of pace or rest, to benefit both the dog and the owner.

Transparent communication and regular verbal reports on your dogs behaviour and health.

Dogs will be grouped accordingly dependant on size and temperament to ensure their safety and success in group daycare.

Enrichment sessions and pack walks are available to add-on to daycare reservations.

Spacious kennels for meal time and private rest time.

Longhorn specialized animal flooring for your pup to run, play and rest on whilst absorbing impact to joints, helping to prevent injury and provide additional comfort.

All staff are required to be experienced in pet care & complete online training with Dog Gurus, to provide the best possible care to our clients.

We are committed to our ongoing role in habituating each dog to their setting and rewarding good behaviour.

Each play room is equipped with a functional, artificial grass relief station to maintain cleanliness and toilet training.

About the owner

Mimi relocated from London, UK to Calgary in early 2019, bringing with her a lifelong passion for animals—especially dogs. From a young age, she knew she wanted to build a career in animal care and has dedicated herself to gaining hands-on experience wherever possible. Her journey began as a volunteer nurse assistant at several veterinary clinics, alongside fundraising efforts for local animal shelters.

As a teenager, Mimi discovered her true calling while dog walking and boarding, which solidified her dream of working exclusively with dogs. She went on to broaden her expertise in grooming and daycare, giving her a well-rounded understanding of canine well-being. Over the years, Mimi has been fortunate to care for the beloved pets of high-profile clients, including Sir Elton John and actress Anna Friel.

Mimi is also deeply committed to ongoing education. She continually learns from world-renowned dog behaviourists, psychologists, and trainers to expand her knowledge and discover new ways to provide the best possible care for every dog. She is currently pursuing her dog trainer certification, furthering her mission to help dogs thrive both in and out of daycare.

These diverse experiences have given Mimi a deep appreciation for the unique needs of every dog and inspired her to create a service that not only meets those needs but goes above and beyond to provide the very best care.
