Dog Boarding in Kanata, Ottawa

Looking for dog boarding near Kanata? Kennel Club Boarding gives Kanata dogs a country alternative to a city kennel — overnight and extended boarding on an open property in North Gower, from about 20 minutes south of Kanata's closest edges via Highway 416.

Country Space Instead of a City Kennel

This is the real reason Kanata owners make the drive: our property has room. Separate outdoor play areas and space to run and explore — not a row of indoor runs in a busy urban building — plus an indoor playroom for when the weather turns. For dogs used to suburban backyards, a few days somewhere they can actually stretch out is closer to a holiday than a kennel stay.

Boarding for Every Kind of Dog

We board dogs of every age, size, and temperament. Social dogs join group play; anxious, senior, or first-time guests get a quieter routine and introductions at their own pace. We're one of the few facilities in the area that also takes dogs who don't do well with others, with physically separate outdoor time — and we handle bite-risk boarding with dedicated, separate supervision.

What Every Boarding Stay Includes

Each boarding dog has a clean, temperature-controlled kennel and Kuranda bed, joins supervised play matched to temperament, and is fed on their usual schedule with fresh water always available. Daily photo updates are there by email for owners who like to keep tabs from the road.

Getting Here

From the closest parts of Kanata, the run down the 416 is quicker than people expect, with Bridlewood, Fernbank, and Glen Cairn all within reach. From the closest streets it's as little as 20 minutes via Highway 416.

Worth the Drive from Kanata

Kanata has options closer to home, so the families who come to us do it for the setting: quieter, more open, and built around play rather than confinement. We're owner-run and first-aid trained, group play is matched to temperament, and we'll send daily photo updates so you can see how the stay is going.
