Happy Tails Pet Resort & Camp

If you love the outdoors, you're in for a treat. Our resort is just 15 minutes from Arrowhead Provincial Park and 45 minutes from the famous Algonquin Provincial Park—both offering stunning hiking trails, wildlife sightings, canoeing, and more. Surrounded by over 1,000 pristine lakes, Muskoka is one of Canada's premier destinations, perfect for those who enjoy fishing, bird watching, hiking, or just soaking in the incredible scenery. And right on our doorstep, you'll find serene woodlands and wildlife, with opportunities to spot everything from moose to blue herons.

For those who enjoy a blend of nature and local culture, we are located only 6km from Huntsville, where you can explore charming shops, restaurants, and festivals. There's always something to do, from renting canoes at Algonquin Outfitters to sampling local craft beers or enjoying the festive events Muskoka has to offer year-round.

Meals are a special part of our day here. We take pride in serving nutritious and delicious meals, often using local, organic ingredients. You'll enjoy breakfast, lunch, and snacks at your leisure, and after a day of work, we gather for an early evening dinner together. If you have a favourite recipe from home, we'd love for you to share it with us—we're always excited to try new dishes! Cultural exchange is at the heart of what we do, and food is one of the best ways to connect. Our accommodations are designed with your comfort in mind. You'll stay in one of our private, bachelor-style apartments within our charming old brick farmhouse. Each apartment is equipped with air conditioning, kitchen appliances, and private bathrooms, ensuring a cozy stay. Many of our guests rave about the comfort of our beds, calling them some of the best they've slept on during their travels. There's also a communal building with workout equipment, games, and a cozy spot to relax with other helpers during your downtime.

Lisa is so generous! She provides excellent housing (studio apartments w/ one or two beds, a full kitchen, bathroom, and washer/dryer appliances in each studio). She also purchases dry goods and pantry staples for everyone and cooks enough at dinner for everyone to take leftovers.
Day to day work will widely vary depending on what her current projects are, so it’s important to have a clear understanding of her expectations for the day.
You will also interact with many different dogs throughout your stay as helpers clean the kennels. Happy Tails is truly a dog lover’s paradise!

At Happy Tails I experienced a taste of Canadian life & cuisine. I loved spending time with the dogs/cats. Lisa is generous & provides a comfy stay (a fully equipped apartment, food, & van to explore beautiful Muskoka in the fall). Because the resort was in a transitional phase our tasks were focused on organizing, cleaning & maintenance, so there were stressful times and challenging work, but that won't be the case for most & Lisa did her best to make us feel valued. I was happy for a good team & our accomplishments, so I still recommend it & loved my time in Huntsville & the friends I made.

Thank you so much for your review Thais! I’m really glad you came and that you really enjoyed the animals, the apartment, and exploring Muskoka. I truly appreciated all your hard work during our transition period and the positive energy you brought. You are an amazing lady. I’m happy you left with good memories — please keep in touch, and I hope our paths cross again! My door is always open for you. Best, Lisa

My experience at Happy Tails was truly wonderful! Lisa is kind and goes out of her way to make sure you have a great stay. The schedule is well organized, the work is not hard.
It's a fantastic place to connect with fellow international travelers and to get a real feel for Canadian culture, especially through the charm of the small town setting and Lisa’s delicious home cooked dinners.
I had such a great time there! I met amazing people and got to enjoy some breathtaking Canadian scenery.
