Enriched Boarding
Enhance your dog’s stay with extra activities.
Take your dog’s boarding experience to the next level with Enriched Boarding, designed for dogs needing more attention, stimulation, and exercise during their stay.
In addition to daily playtime with other dogs, your dog will enjoy extra one-on-one time with our staff including fun brain games and physical activities like beach swims and plays, off-property walks, and ball time, that promote mental and physical well-being. It’s all about a happier, calmer dog. Enriched Boarding offers immersive activities that will have your dog returning to you fully “enriched.”
We provide full-body health checks upon arrival and every 4 days thereafter for all boarding services. Our boarding rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-ventilated to ensure your dog’s comfort.
Enriched Boarding Rate & Information:
Per night rate, per dog:
$128/night
- Save 50% on trial stays, up to 3 nights. If your dog hasn’t boarded with us before and has possible separation anxiety or other issues, they may need an overnight trial or full day of day camp trial. This is to ensure the Dog Ranch environment is a good fit for their longer stay. Once you fill out an application form we’ll determine if a trial stay is needed.
- Rate includes your dog staying with us until 4:30pm on the day of departure (no extra day care costs).
- Boarding dogs must arrive by noon (1:30pm at the latest), so they have time indoors and outdoors to get to know the other canine guests and the team.
- We accept un-neutered or un-spayed dogs on a case-by-case basis. Contact us directly to discuss.
- We do not accept dogs with aggression.
- We encourage all our clients to use our City Group Shuttle Monday and Thursday mornings as it’s the most cost-effective way to transport your dog to and from Bowen Island. If time and convenience is imperative to your schedule we also offer a custom Door-to-door city Shuttle Service.
- We do not ask for a deposit, and if you have to change your plans, we hope you’ll send your pup back to us in the future.
- There are limited spots available for this Enriched Boarding service so please contact us directly by phone or email if the reservations system says it’s full. You can always book Classic Boarding and add extra Enriched Boarding days separately.
- We encourage tours with you and your dog so we are all comfortable ensuring your pup is the right fit for the Ranch. We prefer tours off the arrival of the 10:15am sailing from Horseshoe Bay either Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and by appointment.

“The Dog Ranch team sent me video clips once in a while, so we could catch up how our dog was, and I could tell my dog was so happy to be there with them. I won’t send him anywhere else but HERE for the life time of my dog.“
