Dog Boarding Lanark Highlands

“Nicole and Eddie went above and beyond for our dog Teddy. They took great care of him and made sure we had lots of photos and videos. Looking forward to the next time Teddy gets to stay!”

“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! ❤️”

“Leaving our beloved basset hound behind while we went away is never easy, but having Laura look after her turned what could have been a stressful situation into complete peace of mind. From the start, Laura was incredibly conscientious and attentive, sending regular updates and photos that reassured us our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy. What really stood out was the level of care and effort Laura put into each day. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise, fresh air, and opportunities to socialize. Our basset hound can be a bit stubborn at times, but Laura clearly understands dogs and took the time to engage with her patiently and thoughtfully. It honestly felt less like simple dog sitting and more like sending our dog to a figurative “dog spa,” where she was pampered with attention, activity, and affection. Coming home to a relaxed, content, and well-exercised dog said it all. Laura treated our dog like family, and that level of care is priceless when you’re away. We would absolutely use Laura again without hesitation and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog minder.”

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.

“Frankie and Gus had a great stay with Kirstin & Justin. They provided updates throughout their stay, were flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely book with them again. They came home happy pups!”

“Joan is so loving to my dog Simba. He was having a great time with her over the weekend and went on plenty of adventures with her! I'm afraid he might get bored with me at home now 😂. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby ❤️ I would definitely recommend!”

Ameesha G.

“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!”

“Henry really enjoyed his stay with Jocelyn and Jason. He fit right in with their family and got along beautifully with all the dogs in their home. They treated him as if he were one of their own, which made such a difference while we were away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in their care—especially with the frequent updates and photos of his little adventures. It was clear he was happy, relaxed, and having the best time. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely book with them again.”

Joanne S.

“Sarah was wonderful with my pup, Nessa. Lots of space for adventures, puppy friends to play with, lots of updates and pics. She really cares about the dogs, and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 2 thumbs up, 5 stars, and 10 out of 10”

Adam T.

“Amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog overnight. Hui provided photos and videos often, making the whole experience way easier on us! In every video he looked like he was having an amazing time. Highly recommend and will be booking again if we need someone to watch him again in the future!”

“I can’t recommend Lei enough! We started with a meet and greet near her place at the park. She was calm and super friendly. She asked all the right questions regarding my pup - what he likes, doesn’t like, his schedules, routines etc - all questions that indicate that she has his best interest at heart. Throughout my pup’s stay, she sent an abundance of updates with pictures. Ollie seemed super comfortable and well taken care of. So much so that I can tell he misses her now that he’s home with us! I will be picking Lei every single time from this point forward.”

About: I'm 22, I've had animals my entire existence including reptiles. I live on 4 acres of mostly fenced in yard for your babies to run around. I'm flexible on anything you need for your babies. (And I can babysit your reptiles) I currently have no job but I'm looking for a part-time so I can continue to focus on meeting all sorts of new animals that need somewhere to snooze and play. I have a mostly fenced yard, three doggos that are super friendly to everything. I have experience with vet medicine and crate training. I have LOTS of safe dog toys that need to be played with.

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kristen and Shady while we were on vacation. From the start, they were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that Maple was in loving, capable hands - he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kristen and Shady truly went above and beyond, and it’s not easy to trust someone with your dog, but they exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, responsible, and attentive dog sitters! Thank you so much!”

“Can’t express how grateful we were to have Jacqueline and Jamie look after the dogs. They were fantastic, incredible premises, above and beyond! We had two very content pups returned to us at the end of our vacation.”

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.

“Rodrigo did an excellent job watching Chewie for a week. He sent daily pictures and looked like he got lots of attention. 100% would book Rodrigo again.”

“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”

“We are so fortunate to have matched with Michelle! She not only watches Reese, she is active with him everyday, long walks, teaching him tricks, and giving belly scratches! For this visit, Michelle gave extra attention to Reese giving him medication, observing diet restrictions until Reese was on the mend. Michelle cares for Reese as if he were her own and, because of this, we were able to travel knowing that Reese was going to be well cared for and be nursed back to health. Michelle will always be our first choice!”

Darci H.

“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!”
