Services
Boarding Kennels
Our 14-acre farm-style boarding facility offers individual runs with Kuranda raised beds, daily exercise in supervised yards, and balanced nutrition. Dogs enjoy climate-controlled accommodations with 24-hour surveillance. Social dogs interact in groups matched by size and temperament, while non-social pets receive personalized attention in separate spaces.
Doggy Daycare
Ad-hoc daycare services provide supervised play and exercise in secure outdoor areas. Dogs socialize in groups or enjoy individual walks through our forested property. The service includes access to shell pools during warmer months and structured activities to stimulate physical and mental engagement for active pets.
Pet Taxi
Our custom-equipped pet taxi offers safe transportation for domestic animals to and from appointments or events. Vehicles feature secure cages, climate control, and licensed drivers with police clearance. We accommodate special requirements including multi-pet households and long-distance journeys with competitive per-kilometer pricing.
Kuranda Dog Beds
We provide orthopedic Kuranda dog beds designed to relieve joint pressure and prevent discomfort. The chew-proof, easy-clean design ensures durability while promoting better sleep quality. These elevated beds help maintain hygiene by preventing contact with cold or damp surfaces during kennel stays.
Bush Walks
Guided 20-minute bush walks through our 14-acre property offer dogs individual attention and exploration opportunities. The service includes access to natural terrain and forested areas away from kennel environments. Walks are conducted on-leash with experienced handlers to ensure safety and controlled interaction with surroundings.
Questions
What vaccination records are required for boarding?
All dogs require current C5 vaccination records sighted on check-in. Intranasal vaccinations need 14 days before boarding, and titer tests aren't accepted.
Can non-desexed dogs board at your facility?
Non-desexed dogs over 12 months require Deluxe Kennels and pay an additional daily fee. Females in season cannot be accommodated.
Do you offer trial days for new boarders?
Yes, we provide a free trial day for bookings over 7 days to help dogs acclimate to our environment and staff.
How are dogs exercised during their stay?
Dogs receive minimum 2 hours daily exercise in supervised yards matched by size and temperament, with weather-contingent adjustments and individual walks available.
Can owners visit their dogs during boarding?
Visits aren't permitted to reduce stress, as separation can disrupt dogs' settling-in period and socialization progress.
What happens if my dog requires medication?
Medication administration is free of charge when provided in original packaging with clear dosage instructions at check-in.
