Overnight boarding

Their home away from home

All-inclusive overnight dog boarding in our small, home-based facility in Birch Hills. Whether your dog is staying for a weekend or a longer holiday, our goal is a comfortable routine with a healthy balance of activity, enrichment and rest.

All-inclusive

What every stay includes

Daily routine

Predictable, without being rigid

Dogs generally do best when their days have some predictability. Our routine varies with the weather and the needs of the dogs staying with us, but a typical day runs: morning bathroom breaks, breakfast, post-meal rest, outdoor activities, enrichment, downtime, afternoon activities, supper, evening relaxation and a final night-time bathroom break.

Activity and rest are intentionally balanced, so guests have opportunities to play and explore without being overstimulated all day.

Social play

Not every dog is grouped together

When social interaction is appropriate we consider temperament, size, energy level, play style, social skills and overall compatibility.

Some guests thrive with a playmate. Others prefer individual attention. Both are completely okay.

Sibling pricing applies only when dogs from the same household can safely and comfortably share accommodation. Bark Inn determines suite placement based on each dog’s size, behaviour and individual needs.

One-night stays

No two-night minimum. Returning guests (previously approved) can book a single night, Sunday through Thursday nights: $45 in a 4′×4′ suite, $50 in a 5′×5′, with a one-night premium built into the rate. Stays of two or more nights are at the regular nightly rate.

Peak season pricing

Peak pricing and additional minimum-stay requirements may apply during designated high-demand periods such as holidays, stat weekends, school breaks and summer travel. Rates applicable to your booking are confirmed through our booking system.

Payment

Unless your account is under a prepayment requirement, full payment is due at drop-off. We currently accept cash and e-transfer.

Trial stay (optional)

$60 in a 4′×4′ suite, $65 in a 5′×5′. Trials run during business hours and are not conducted Friday or Saturday nights. Optional for new guests, unless we ask for one after reviewing your registration. See new clients.

Shuttle service

We can pick your dog up from home, bring them back, or both, for boarding stays. $15 for pick-up, $15 for drop-off, including the first 5 km each way; beyond that it’s $2 per km each way, up to 50 km. Add it when you book.

Complete payment, cancellation and modification terms are provided during registration and booking. See our policies.
