The essential boarding adventure for your dog!
If dogs could speak, what kind of boarding situation would they ask for? Probably one with lots of joyful outdoor romping in a beautiful forest, dog friends galore to hang out with, and endless affection and expert care from people who love them.
Since 2007 thousands of dogs from the Vancouver area have approved our facility as their go-to vacation destination for boarding.
Dogs love our Classic Boarding service which includes several off-leash supervised playtimes with other dogs throughout the day exploring the Dog Ranch’s magical forest, full-body health checks upon arrival (and every 4 days thereafter), and essential rest times in our clean, cozy, and well-ventilated rooms. Our Vancouver shuttle service options make it convenient to get to Bowen Island, just 20 minutes away from West Vancouver.
For additional pampering you can add a groom with Julia, extra outdoor playtimes, swims at one of our local beaches, solo walks, frozen Kongs that are all a part of our Enriched Boarding service, or a few sessions of training.
We are the un-kennel, a canine-centric community where dogs are treated like family, leashes are unnecessary, and “dog” is spoken fluently by our experienced handlers and trainers. Every day is an adventure!
