‘Sick to our stomach’: Ontario family mourns after dog dies at boarding business

An Ontario woman says her experience with a pet sitter has shaken her to the core as she awaits a medical examiner's report to find out what killed her two-year-old canine.
A Hamilton, Ont., dog boarding business is under investigation after a pet owner reported her healthy pocket bully puppy died while under its care.
Jenuen Monroe says her experience with the pet sitter has shaken her to the core as she awaits a medical examiner’s report to find out what killed her two-year-old canine last weekend while at a west side sitter.
The story has got the attention of animal activists throughout the region, and police have confirmed they have had to visit the address of the dog day care, Kippen Cares.
Monroe and her husband, Matt Savory, say they connected with the Westdale outlet when searching for a place to house their two dogs, Cartelo and Spicy, while they headed off to Toronto for a night out to celebrate Father’s Day.
“I took him to a spa, we got massages,” she said.
“Then went to downtown Toronto, where we had dinner reservations.”
The parents, who also have three kids, found the caretaker via the Rover.com app, where Savory dropped off the dogs around 10 a.m. along with some food and their travelling crates Saturday morning.
“He was dropping them off and chatting with another couple dropping off their dog as well,” Monroe said.
