Hound House, founded by Lauren Guizzetti and her partner Brandon, emerged from a desire to elevate urban dog ownership. After moving back to Toronto from California, where dogs are welcome almost everywhere, the couple noticed a gap. “We struggled to find safe, clean spaces for our Mini Bernedoodle, Sky, to play and socialize that also fit into our lifestyle,” says Guizzetti. The solution? A year-round haven for dogs and their owners.

Inside, the space—crafted by award-winning design studio Nivek Remas—is a contemporary marvel. Minimalist tones meet playful touches like moss ceilings, marble accents, and quirky dog-inspired art, creating an ambiance that’s both luxurious and inviting. Whether you’re sipping a latte at the café, catching up on emails in the co-working area, or indulging your pup at the self-serve spa, Hound House is as much for humans as it is for their furry friends.
