Dog boarding in Port Moody

Overnight stays for dogs who already know us from daycare, so a trip away doesn't mean a strange place and strange faces.

Boarding for the dogs we already know

We only board dogs who come to emBARK for daycare. It’s a deliberate choice: your dog arrives knowing the space, the staff and many of the other dogs, and we already know their routine, their food and their quirks. That makes for a much calmer first night than a kennel full of strangers.

Boarding is offered subject to staff availability, and your dog stays either at our facility or in the home of one of our staff. We’ll talk you through which applies when you book.

Boarding rates

Length of stay Per night
1 to 3 nights $68 + GST
4 to 10 nights $63 + GST
11+ nights $58 + GST

Other fees: weekend surcharge $20 + GST per weekend (Friday, Saturday or Sunday night); late pick-up after 10 am on pick-up day $20 + GST.

What to pack

  • Your dog’s regular food, measured into meals if you can
  • Any medication, with written instructions
  • A familiar blanket or toy (optional, but it helps)

Make sure vaccinations are current: core (DHLPP), Bordetella and Rabies. Bordetella must be given at least 7 days before the stay.

Holidays fill first

Christmas, spring break and long weekends book out early. If your dog is new to emBARK, start daycare a few weeks before your trip so boarding is an option.
