Dog Boarding in Riverside South, Ottawa

Looking for trusted dog boarding in Riverside South? Kennel Club Boarding has cared for dogs from Riverside South families since the neighbourhood started growing south of the Rideau, with overnight and extended boarding at our North Gower property — about 12 minutes southwest via Earl Armstrong Road or the 416.

Care Built Around the Individual Dog

Riverside South sends us a lot of first-time boarders, nervous dogs, and seniors, and the way we handle introductions is what brings those owners back. New dogs are introduced slowly and allowed to set their own pace rather than being dropped straight into a busy group. We watch how each dog responds and adjust from there — a quieter routine and one-on-one time for the dogs who need it, full group play for the ones who thrive on it.

What Your Dog Gets While Boarding

Every boarding guest gets a spacious, temperature-controlled kennel with a raised Kuranda bed, supervised play with compatible dogs, fresh water and feeding on their own routine, and one-on-one attention from a team trained in canine first aid. Optional daily photo updates by email let you check in while you're away.

A Stay Shaped Around Your 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.

The Drive to Our Door

Our property is an easy drive from any part of Riverside South, with Findlay Creek, Spratt Road, Limebank, and Kelly Farm all within reach. From the closest streets it's as little as 12 minutes via Earl Armstrong Road or the 416.

Why Riverside South Chooses Us

We sit on the south side of the city, away from the congestion of urban kennels but still an easy commute — a real advantage if you're heading to the airport or a cottage and don't want to double back. Many Riverside South families have boarded with us for years, returning for the same holidays because they trust the care and their dog is happy to arrive. Multi-dog families can share a kennel.
