🐾 Business Spotlight

Confirmed, a good boy.
Birmingham Bed & Bowls | In-Home Dog Care
Most dog owners know the feeling. You’re heading out of town, but your dog is the type who considers a kennel a personal insult and views concrete floors as a grievance. If your pup prefers a real couch and a quiet home, you’ll want to meet James and Leah Birmingham.
James and Leah run a local, in-home care service that feels more like a “grandma’s house” stay than a boarding facility.
What sets them apart is Leah’s deep roots in animal care. Leah is a Registered Veterinary Technologist with 26 years of experience. You likely recognize her from her 20 years helping build the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee, or perhaps she taught you or a family member during her 17 years as an instructor at St. Lawrence College.
That background brings real peace of mind. Whether your dog is under the weather or just being dramatic about dinner time, Leah has seen it all. It’s a home-based option for owners whose dogs have opinions and want to stay with someone who understands them.
