Dog Boarding - Lake of the Woods

Summer Fun For Your Dog

We are dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for pets in need of boarding. We are committed to ensuring that every pet feels loved, engaged, and well cared for at our summer home on Lake of the Woods near Sioux Narrows, Ontario. With a focus on personalized attention and a deep understanding of pet behavior, we strive to create a positive and stress-free experience for pets and their owners. We are on a 3-acre private island with a groomed trail around its perimeter; perfect for daily exercise and supervised exploration. The lake offers unlimited swim time on those warm summer days, and pontoon rides around the local bays allow the dogs to feel the breeze and lick the air as they wish. Maybe your dog likes to dock dive after a ball, they can do that, too! Not a big fan of the deep water? Your dog can wade in the shallow water on our small sandy beach area or stay on dry land completely. It’s all up to them. There’s always plenty to do, even if it’s just laying around the lawn enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

Shuttle Service

We do offer shuttle service, but this is at an extra cost for pet owners. If you don't have the time to make the drive to us, we can do curbside pick up and drop off of your pet.

We had a wonderful experience boarding our Lab with Beth and Graham. Our dog is getting up in years, so we tend to worry about him, but Beth and Graham put us at ease. It's clear to see that they truly love dogs. They are both friendly and professional. We look forward to boarding with them again!
