Scamps is me, Talia Erickson

If you’re new to Scamps, or been around for awhile, I’m pleased to introduce a few things about the company. Firstly, I’m the owner, groomer, dog walker and primary care-giver. Before dogs, I operated child care centres.

When I opened Scamps in 2023, the vision was for a large daycare and grooming facility, with lots of dogs, and staff, and (in the future…) multiple locations. A big company, all about the care and well-being of dogs!

But Scamps in 2026 is not that.

The space at 1460 Cedar Cottage Mews is cozy, which means I work pretty personally with the pups and owners, and those relationships are very important to me.

I think of myself as a collaborator in your pet’s care, and believe honest, open, communication will allow us to make the best decisions possible, as we go ahead.

Small Groups

I can accommodate up to 5 social dogs for grooming and daycare

Socializing

Talk to me about your pet, so I can place them in well-matched packs.

Physical Needs

Neighbourhood pack walks happen daily, with 1-on-1 options available.

Private Sessions

I offer 1-on-1 grooming, and/or designated days for tailored care.

Step 1: To join the pack, please complete the registration form, and consent to our policies.

Step 2: Schedule a free 20-min. Meet & Greet, or book a 1-on-1 session ($50/hour).

Step 3: Pups can attend daycare and grooming, walks, and overnight boarding, with (or without) dogs that match their energy.

Step 4: Pick up and pay. You’ll receive an update of the day’s grooming and events, health observations, and photos of what went down. Please let me know if there was anything I could have done differently, and come back soon.
