Last week, we hosted another amazing session of 🐶 Dogs & Crafts 🎨 at The Petropolitan, with loads of guests making paw-sonalized totes!
We LOVE hosting these fun events a few times a year! We try to mix it up each time with a fresh spin on a few things your little artists are sure to find success with and a new item for you to cherish! 🥰
Our Dogs & Crafts sessions are not just adorable, they’re fantastic socialization opportunities for your pets! That’s right, we even had some kitty cats partake in this session 🐱Participants were held by one care provider while having their paw handled and paint applied a few times by another; that sensation and texture sure can feel weird! The pets then had their paw washed before having a little happy celebration dance 🎉
These experiences are great opportunities to prep pets for stress free visits to places like the vet, where they may need restraint, or to hold a paw up for a groomer in the salon! 🐾
If you missed it last week, we have a few bags left at both our Killarney and Downtown locations! Talk to one of our amazing Client Specialists about adding a personalized tote to your pet’s next visit 🌸💜

Meet Arlee! He’s been our amazing, Overnight Care Provider from the beginning!
Yesterday we celebrated Arlee’s 10th Anniversary of working in the pet care industry! A decade ago my beloved child care provider asked me to sponsor her cousin to move to Calgary, that he would happily support me at my former business. From the start, Arlee asked to work nights so he could be on the same schedule as his family back at home that he missed so much. We never looked back!
Arlee is an amazing person to work with; we are so lucky to have him caring for your pets! Since moving to Calgary, Arlee has successfully sponsored the rest of his immediate family to join him in here, making his dreams of having everyone together again, come true. ✨
For as long as I’ve been in pet care, I’ve always said that we only hire team members I would be comfortable leaving my kids with, because that’s the quality you expect for your pets. Somewhere, I have videos of my kids riding around on Arlee’s back like a horse and him rolling around with them as babies 💜
To celebrate his 10th Anniversary, Arlee’s going to enjoy an all expenses paid evening at The Fairmont Palliser, enjoying their Gold floor amenities, for a well deserved weekend of rest and relaxation. 💜
Congratulations and thank you for everything you do to make The Petropolitan great, Arlee!

This year, the theme for International Women’s Day is, “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress”.
Studies show that by advancing gender equality and women’s participation in the economy, Canada could add up to $150 billion in GDP.

Their ideas, passion and creativity have helped make this a viable career path for generations of animal lovers to come; what didn’t even exist when we were growing up has become an essential service for many of our clients! 🫶🏼💜

Let’s talk about everyone’s favourite purr machines! 🐱 At The Petropolitan we know the needs of cats differ from those of our canine guests!
Cats don’t often leave home as frequently as dogs, so depending on their life experience with travel and relocation, it can take time for them to settle in away from home.
Our team of cat lovers will follow each kitty’s lead to ensure their stay is as stress-free as possible! With three levels of acommodations, and two different activity options, we have a care plan for every kitty in this city! 💜🐈🐈⬛
Pop by for a tour or give us a call to discuss the purr-fect staycation for the cats in your life!

Today marks the third National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, a day intended to honour residential school survivors and recognize those who did not return to their families. On this day, as allies, we hope to take actionable steps toward reconciliation with our thoughts and actions.
This day is about more than wearing orange. It’s about recognizing the legacy of Residential Schools and other injustices still going on today, impacting the communities of survivors and their families. It’s about getting comfortable with the discomfort of truth, collective healing and finding a good way forward as allies and survivors.
We are committed to doing more than acknowledging and observing this day with a commitment to support the communities impacted by residential schools.
It’s not often that our work aligns with an opportunity to support in such a meaningful way. We hope this brings your attention to an organization directly impacting survivors’ communities, improving their families’ day-to-day safety.
The is an organization we love to support as we hold space for Truth and Reconciliation with a $5,000 annual donation towards the work they do in the communities of Survivors, because every child deserves to move safely about their community.
To learn more about the work of the Task Force and the communities they collaborate with, please visit our blog.

Today Canada’s Minister of Small Business, .valdez, visited The Petropolitan while in Calgary. We got the opportunity to discuss challenges to operating a business in today’s economy and access to financing for new projects (specifically women owned and led initiatives) that create jobs for Canadians.
We loved showing the Minister our one of a kind Luxury Suites, explaining how we provide pet care in an urban environment and showing off our Pet Salon, Spa and Grooming Academy! 💜🐶🐱

Happy 18th Birthday to our Founding Dog, Cookie 🍪
She’s the last of 4 dogs I started this journey with 16 years ago. We’ve done a lot together, travelled North America, started a few businesses, walked many miles, met what’s probably thousands of dogs at this point and had a lot of fun 💕
She was my first foster dog from a local rescue. I picked her up from a kennel in Millarville where she was placed after being brought in from a First Nations community. She had been well cared for and fed but was living under a porch. At one point I had her mom and littermate that were adopted out together. She’s never needed leash training and just came perfect.
Cookie was the name the rescue gave her but it was the best name for this sweet, sweet member of our family 💕🐶

Welcome to The Pet
At The Petropolitan, we believe there is a better way to provide pet care. A more efficient, less stressful way for you to integrate essential services into your life. We're obsessively passionate about it and it's our mission to provide a high-end, personalized care experience for you and your best friend.
The Petropolitan is locally owned by Hailey Seidel and is truly the stuff a little girl's dreams are made of. As a child, Hailey was obsessed with dogs and as an adult has created a career dedicated to them.
After graduating from the University of Calgary in 2007, Hailey founded what was then a small, home based dog walking and pet sitting company when she was unable to find a quality care provider for her beloved Great Dane.
Fast forward 10 years and Hailey was awarded Calgary's Top 40 Under 40 distinction for her entrepreneurial work and successfully sold what had become Calgary’s largest pet care provider in 2017. In a year of down time The Petropolitan was conceptualized and brought to life.
The Petropolitan is Calgary’s first Downtown, luxury pet care facility. Our ultra-modern space is designed with amenities you would expect from a five-star hotel.
Striving to provide a more intimate, high end experience for busy and discerning pet owners, The Petropolitan is truly an example of a business created by someone who understands exactly what her clients want and need.
Focused on quality and convenience The Pet is truly a beautiful and welcoming space for dogs and humans alike and we hope you’ll come play and stay for many years to come. Hailey is loved at home by two rescue dogs, Cookie and Cricket and her two beautiful daughters, Poppy and Suzy.
The Petropolitan is loved by us but designed for you. We truly hope you love it too! We can't wait for you to come visit, stay and play with us!
We can’t wait to meet you!
