WHO WE ARE • WHAT WE DO
THE CREW
A sanctuary for tiny, mini and small dogs to stay
when their parents have to be away
MARIE
Resident Owner
A lifetime pet parent and professional who understands the demands of hectic work schedules, the need for holiday travel and obligations, along with the quality of life. Decades of living and walking by the lake, enjoying excursions, exploring nature with furry soulmates led to our forever home and mission Love, Licks and Wags By The Lake.
A quiet treed neighbourhood in Long Branch, so close to the water you can hear the boats in the summer and the sound of waves crashing on the beach and rocks year-round.
