Kennelling a dog for a long period of time can be lonely and isolating. Some dogs just do not thrive at crowded dog hotels. Finding the right place to board a dog is challenging. We offer boarding-only options for our past board and train clients and referrals from Metro Vancouver Dog Trainers.

We are a home environment, which helps dogs feel comfortable and safe. We are not a boarding facility; we are high-touch and inclusive. Your dog lives comfortably in our home with supervised access to the house and yard, and bedtime is spent in the safety of their crate or dog room. Dogs are treated as part of the family and have plenty of exercise, playtime, enrichment and company.

When your dog stays with us for boarding only their training and social skills do not decline like they can at an isolating kennel.

If you have a reactive dog we can help with a private room and access to the outside without sighting other dogs.

If you are interested in boarding your dog with #CareyTrainsMe please complete a free online consultation request below to discuss your dog's needs.

The first step is to book a consultation online.

If we are a good option for your dogs we then book a tour of the farm (approx 30-45 minutes) After the tour, we schedule an overnight trail night.

The nightly rate is $89 per dog per night plus taxes.

Please note Your dog must be crate-trained and cannot have separation anxiety. As I am in and out training board and train dogs the In-home boarding-only dogs must be content to be in a crate or exercise pen when I am out training and sleeping through the night.

Please note that referrals are accepted from your dog trainer, your vet or one of our valued clients.

Do you have a fearful, anxious dog? Consider a Dog Board and Train Program.

Puppies are not acceptable for in-home boarding only, they must be booked as a dog board and train.

Availability is limited - you must book early around all holiday dates.
