Dog Boarding in Smiths Falls

“Jacinta and her 3 children gave Bria lots of love and attention and she received excellent care. Jacinta sent updates and photos to show us how Bria was doing during her stay, which gave us peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. Bria even made friends with their cat!”

“Nicole and Eddie were awesome! They were very accommodating for our last minute request and took great care of Cosmo for us. They were great with providing updates and photos and Cosmo had a blast playing with Keyser. No issues at all and would definitely use them again. Thanks again guys!!”

“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! ❤️”

“My dog‘s vacation at Lynda‘s was amazing and if I could give a higher rating I would. I got daily updates, photos, and videos. My girl was pampered and received so much attention. A beautiful, clean home with well-behaved resident dogs. Great fenced backyard. I will definitely book here again 🐾”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing from meet and greet all the way to pickup! Maple had an amazing time and would definitely recommend to anyone! Ashley sends lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the stay which was truly a treat!”

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 and Justin were amazing with my dog! They sent multiple daily photo updates and even coordinated a meeting one week prior to our booking to ensure a smooth stay. We’ll definitely book with them again in the future.”

“Nothing is more important than knowing that my animals are loved and well cared for when I am away. I know Ruby is happy when she is with Lindsay and family and I love that Lindsay has been available everytime I need her help. This consistency is so important for Ruby’s welfare. She always stays with Lindsay.”

“Janice and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, Yeti! From the very beginning, the initial meet and greet was so reassuring. Janice’s knowledge of dogs and their behavior was incredible, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Yeti in her care. We received multiple pictures every day, which kept us at ease knowing he was in good hands and having a great time. We’ve officially found our forever Rover sitter and will definitely be planning our holidays around Janice’s availability so we can always book with her! Highly recommend! 😊”
