Boarding at Boothbay Canine

Our boarded pups are assigned a cozy indoor kennel with elevated beds, soft blankets, gentle music, and radiant heated floors. Each dog is given a good night treat and some tucking-in time with our staff right before bed.  We also welcome you bringing your pup's favorite bed, one blanket, and one chew toy. Please do not bring any food bowls or additional toys and bones beyond the allowed ones. These spaces have their own sliding doors that exit out into a 4’x10’ exterior undercover run, protecting your dog from sun and storm.  Included is unlimited supervised outdoor playtime with other well-socialized pups.  During inclement weather days, Boothbay Canine has a lounging futon, several indoor play and rest areas, raised beds, chew toys, and a TV room to keep everyone occupied and comfortable

In order for us to feed your dog appropriately, a feeding schedule is required to accompany your pet upon drop off. Please bring all the necessary dog food for each of your dogs. 

You can also request an individualized trail stroll and smell excursion (30 minutes) for your best friend for a charge of only $10.  For pups that board longer than seven days it is important to stimulate their senses and to help stave off depression and grumpiness, therefore we recommend our individualized trail stroll and smell excursion every couple of days (the individualized walk is $10).
