Dog Boarding Lanark Highlands

“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”

About: I’ve had animals in my home for as long as I can remember and understand that pets are family. With over 20 years of professional caregiving experience, providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care comes naturally to me. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and affection, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, and pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve always had pets in my home and have years of hands-on experience providing loving, reliable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I understand the importance of consistency and will care for your pet as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced yard in the country but will also provide two walks a day and lots of playtime. Our pets are our family and it gives me joy to give them new experiences and bring them with me on adventures. All within the comfort levels of their parents of course.

About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.

“Kirstin, Justin and their son are a dog owner’s dream! They took such good care of our dogs: 1. noticing and addressing their individual needs; 2. taking them for long walks and cuddles; 3. treating them as their own. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our furbabies while we were away. They also provided updates each day, along with several pictures of their time together. Their communication was top knotch. We were very happy with the care of our furbabies and look forward to using them again in the future 🐾💗”

“Excellent service for us and my tiny pup. Joanna is very kind and caring for the dog and was very responsive when planning and answering questions. Awesome experience.”

“Laura and her family were wonderful. They took Gryphon in over the holidays at a stressful time, for a dog who can be a bit unsure of unfamiliar surroundings and made him feel part of the family; safe and loved. We are so grateful to everything you did and will definitely have him back to stay!”

“Our Vizsla had a great 3 weeks summer vacation with Jackline & Jamie. Great care with lots of fun time! Daily updates and photos. He will miss being there, He will be back soon for more fun times! Thank you for the great time!”

“Trudy took care of our dog Maple for 6 days/5 nights. It was our first time leaving Maple with someone else. We were very pleased with how Trudy kept us updated by texts and sending pictures. When we picked Maple up she was happy and comfortable and Trudy even thought her a new trick! We will definitely get Trudy to babysit Maple again!”

Nathalie W.

“Gus just had his second stay with Lei and the bond they have is beautiful. It is obvious that they understand each other and have a connection. Gus is very happy and feels safe when in her care. We are so lucky to have found someone who loves our Gus as much as we do.”

“Sunny was staying with Hui’s family. She is great! super friendly and caring. Her little dog & kitty were also very welcoming to Sunny. Sunny loved their backyard. We had great experience and will definitely ask for her help in future too”

“Sarah cared for our two dogs over the August long weekend and we were so happy with how it went!! She sent pictures and updates regularly and showed us what a great time our pooches we’re having with her and her dogs! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future :) Thanks Sarah!!”

“Joselyn and Jason were amazing from the moment we meet them. You could tell how confortable our dogs were around them and with their family. Their own dogs are simply adorable and extremely friendly! What a bonus! Our pups felt no fear at all towards them! Joselyn made my fur babies felt like home. She arranged a chair by the window so my almost 13 years old “Summer” would be happy and avoid missing her daily nosy routine lol. While they also let “pixie” just to be Pixie! It was great receiving pictures of our doggies! They always seemed relaxing and happy ! Thank you guys for caring so much; for feeding them their special homemade food and for making sure they received the love and attention they are use to receive at home. We are very appreciative and grateful 🐶🐶 Thanks!!!”

“Suzanne and Adrian were the best host for our dog. Our dog chewed its leash but they were kind enough to get a replacement and a bonus toy :-). They were great in accommodating our last minute request and they were sure to give us heads up and updates of our dog every day. Keep up good job S&A”

“We can’t thank the Kristen and Shady enough for the amazing care they provided Ollie during our trip! They welcomed him into their home with such warmth and kindness, treating him like one of their own. When we picked him up, Ollie looked so happy and pleasantly tired, a clear sign he had a fantastic time filled with play and affection. Their attentiveness and love for animals gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for their generosity and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you for making Ollie’s stay so special!”

About: My name is Samantha and I've been a lifelong lover of all creatures great and small! I am currently a mom to a 8 year old miniature schnauzer, but I've had a kitty or dog companion by my side my entire life. I'm new to Mississippi Mills and I would love to meet your pet. Friends in Ottawa have relied on me to check in on their fur babies, take them for walks, feed them dinner, or simply spend time with them! I'm very reliable, I work from home 4 out of 5 week days, have a car, am flexible and adaptive. I work from home 4 out of 5 days of the week and am typically available on evenings and weekends. If your pup likes other pups I can have them join in on my routine walks with my little schnauzer. If not, that's cool too! I'm always down for a solo walk. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your furry baby will be well taken care of! I can be trusted to do drop in visits, spend time petting, playing with, feeding or walking your baby.

“Mia made our family feel so comfortable when we left Eddy at her house. Her dog Bella is very sweet. We got lots of pictures of Eddy and Bella on their snowy walks side by side on the trails. Her kids were also excited to have an extra dog to love. Thank you Mia and family! We will use your service again!!”

“I feel so lucky to have met Laurie and Chris! They took such great care of Leo and gave him so much love and attention. They are bully lovers through and through and understand all the funny quirks that come with frenchies. I would be so happy for them to watch Leo anytime and will definitely be reaching out again!”

“Rodrigo was amazing and we felt very comfortable leaving our Winston with him and his family. We recieved regular updates and really awesome photos, which were super appreciated. He and his family clearly care a lot about dogs and are experienced in taking care of them. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Winston with Rodrigo again 🙂”
