COUNTRY NIGHTS

Overnight Boarding

Open 365 days/year

A peaceful country retreat for your dog, where the best parts of daycare meet the comfort of a cozy cottage stay.Boarding at The Homestead includes everything your dog enjoys during Daycare Adventures—structured days, social connection, fresh air, and thoughtful care—paired with quiet evenings, familiar routines, and the warmth of a home-style environment. Our family-run approach means your dog is never just staying somewhere; they’re being welcomed in.While you’re away, days unfold at a natural pace with room to play, rest, and simply be a dog. Evenings are calm and unhurried, ending with relaxed bodies, content minds, and the kind of rest that comes from feeling safe and settled. Boarding is available seven days a week, including holidays, because consistent care and comfort matter—especially when you’re away.

The Cottage

$65/NIGHT + HST

Our newly expanded Canine Cottage gives your dog a true home-away-from-home experience. We help our guests find their perfect sleeping spot, provide goodnight cuddles, and let them drift off peacefully in a space designed just for them.

Boarding rates are charged per 24-hour period.

Private Suites

We offer five spotless private suites, ideal for dogs or families who prefer a room of their own. Each suite is freshly sanitized and cleaned daily. Every guest is assigned a private locker (12" W × 18" D) to store most personal belongings, and meals are prepared according to the instructions in your dog’s online profile.

Suite options include:
• Four standard suites (3' × 5')
• One premium suite (6' × 5')

Cage-Free Nights

Your dog will enjoy the perfect temperature year-round, gentle background music, and dog TV for entertainment. We maintain a dedicated fridge for raw and cooked diets, and our family provides bedtime snuggles because we believe every dog deserves a goodnight hug. Dogs can choose their ideal sleeping spot—whether sinking into plush couches, stretching out on raised beds, or sprawling on cool floors.

The Red Brick House

By invitation only • $90/NIGHT + HST

When we feel it's necessary, we open our home to select guests requiring specialized attention. This includes puppies under six months, smaller dogs, senior dogs, and those with special needs. These guests receive personalized care in our family home environment with dedicated one-on-one attention.

Boarding rates are charged per 24-hour period.

A note about afternoon drop-offs

For the best start to your dog’s stay, drop-offs are scheduled prior to 1:00 pm*. This timing allows dogs to fully participate in the day’s routine, settle comfortably into the group, and enjoy the movement, enrichment, and connection they need to wind down for a restful evening.

*In extenuating circumstances, later afternoon drop-offs (after 3:00 pm) may be accommodated by appointment and may be subject to an additional charge.

OVERNIGHT CHECKLIST

What to Pack

To help your dog settle comfortably into their stay, we’ve created a simple overnight checklist. Packing thoughtfully allows us to keep routines calm, spaces clean, and care consistent.

Please do not pack:

Large or bulky beds (raised beds are provided)
Food or water bowls (including slow feeders—we have plenty)
Special or sentimental toys (we provide safe, dog-appropriate toys)

REQUIRED

Keep your dog’s Gingr profile fully updated. This is your dog’s run card and our primary source of care instructions. Paper notes can be lost or conflict with profile information, making it difficult for staff to know what to follow.

Please take a moment to review our Booking Policy. It outlines important details around scheduling, notice periods, cancellations, holiday availability, and how we manage capacity during busy times. Planning ahead helps ensure smooth arrivals, consistent care, and availability when you need it most.

Notify your veterinarian if you will be away on an extended vacation and provide written authorization allowing us to speak with your vet and seek medical care if needed

Understand emergency care arrangements: if authorization from your regular clinic is not available, we may use the emergency veterinary clinic in Collingwood

List an emergency contact who is authorized to make decisions on your behalf

Vaccinations up to date — all core vaccines (rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and Bordetella) must be current and fully effective

Pack food for the entire stay (plus extra) — raw, kibble, or cooked. Include food toppers — canned food, dehydrated toppers, treats, probiotics, canned pumpkin, or vegetables to support appetite and digestion

Long-lasting chews for quiet or rest periods (e.g., beef cheek chews, yak chews, rawhide alternatives). We provide stuffed Kongs for no additional cost.
