Dog BRIgade Photog + Pet Care
Acknowledgement
With gratitude and respect, I acknowledge that the land where I live, work, and grow is the traditional territory of the peoples of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the Blackfoot Confederacy — Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai Nations — as well as the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations. This land is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
I honor the deep, living connection between Indigenous peoples and this land — a connection rooted in care, stewardship, and spirit.
I carry a responsibility to listen, to learn, and to walk alongside the journey of truth and reconciliation. I make a quiet promise to honor the spirit of this land, through my actions, my respect, and my ongoing commitment to growth.
May this work and this space always reflect the care this land deserves.
-Bri Kimberley, owner and sole proprietor of The Dog BRIgade YYC.

Crate Free Pet Boarding
This whole adventure began with my love for pet care, that is how I got so many beautiful images of different dogs. I’ve housed so many dogs that now my home is so quiet without them! Pet boarding is a service I still offer, for dogs this service includes unlimited yard access, full house access, playtime with my dogs and other dogs boarding, tooth brushing nightly, fur brush out on last day, water always accessible, a billion cuddles + kisses, a warm, daily updates with multiple photos, a warm, fun and safe environment to stay for your pup while you’re away. For our beautiful feline (cat) friends, this service includes staying in a private room (I only board one cat of a time), this room offers privacy and protection from the dogs + my own pets, the room includes two scratch posts (so far), window access, multiple interactive toys, treat puzzles, a litter box, blankets, and heated cat bed.

Calgary’s Best Doggy Daycare Experience
Doggy daycare is a great way to get your dog out of the house while you’re working, moving, or whatever else may come up. Last minute bookings will always welcome here. What is unique about this doggy daycare experience is that the group is kept to a maximum of 8 dogs per day to keep things safe, fun, and pawesome. Each day at doggy daycare is a different experience - with a wide variety of enrichment MANY MANY toys, treat puzzles, kongs, lick mats, beds, unlimited outdoor time, tooth brushing and any other add ons you may want to add!
Unlike doggy daycare facilities where dogs often get overstimulated and crated, we offer a more positive, enriching, and crate free experience. Having worked at pet facilities in the past it is my genuine hope to show a more positive, fun, and open space for dogs to stay.
In my basement I have a dedicated doggy daycare space full of beds, toys, a big couch. This space is great as it offers dogs an opportunity to rest after/between play, drink some water, possibly have a snack in the daycare kitchen. If two dogs are not getting along this also gives me the opportunity to separate in different rooms and reintegrate once the dogs are less stimulated.

The ULTIMATE Doggy Easter Egg Hunt - $10/dog. This is a special event on APRIL 19, 2025. At this event dogs will play, snack and be a part of the biggest doggy egg hunt I’ve ever had! My chihuhua enjoys doing this every year so in our family it has become a tradition that I am hoping to share with your dogs! Eggs will be hidden all throughout the backyard, basement, and top floor of my home - enticing treats inside to encourage seekers. No chicken as this is a common allergen. Photo Booth included as always so you can enjoy photos of your pup for years to come!
**For safety reasons I always make sure I have 3-4 volunteers helping me out. This helps to prevent food guarding, escape attempts, and unfair play between dogs. Safety is always a top priority here and these events have always gone smoothly!
