Dog Boarding and Daycare

PAWS is a safe and exciting place for your dog to have a break. More than a home away from home, PAWS is an adventure camp for dogs, featuring 215 acres of woods, pasture, a farm environment, and miles of trails.

We offer both overnight accommodation ( dog boarding) and doggie daycare. Click here for our current rates.

What are the drop-off and pick-up times for dog boarding and daycare?

Drop-off and pick-up are available during specific times each day.

  • Morning Drop-off/Pick-up: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
  • Afternoon Drop-off/Pick-up: 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

We ask that all arrivals and departures occur during these times, as our staff may not be available outside of those hours.

If you need to arrange a time outside these hours, let us know in advance – occasionally, we can often accommodate for an additional fee.

A Note About Our Guardian Dogs: Please note that if you come OUTSIDE of the available pick-up/drop-off hours, our guardian dogs, Mufasa and Fara, will be on duty. They are large and can be a bit intimidating.  It would be best if you remained inside your vehicle until a staff member is available to assist you.

Can I just come by in the middle of the day to pick up or drop off my dog? It will only take a minute and you are there anyway …

Sadly, no. We are:

  • playing with and supervising your dogs
  • ensuring the kennels are clean
  • ensuring the water and food bowls are clean
  • ensuring the eight fenced outdoor play yards are clean and safe
  • feeding and tending horses
  • feeding and tending goats and chickens
  • grooming the trails on this 215 acre property and ensuring they are safe
  • mending fences
  • tending gardens
  • shoveling snow

… and 1,000 other tasks that go into running a dog boarding facility and working farm. We have no dedicated customer service staff – all staff are dog wranglers and farm hands. To be clear:

  • Morning Drop-off/Pick-up: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. We cannot help you after 9:00 a.m. If you arrive late, please expect a significant wait time until a staff member is free to assist.
  • Afternoon Drop-off/Pick-up: 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We cannot help you before 4:00 p.m. or after 6:00 p.m.

Here is a full list of our services and rates!

Where do I go?

When you arrive with your dog, please park in the area marked Parking for Killara Station. Please exit your vehicle and proceed with your leashed pet to the kennel door opposite the house entrance. A staff member will come to assist you within a few minutes. Be aware that others may be picking up or dropping off their dogs at the same time. Always maintain a safe distance between leashed pets – do not crowd too close to other pets or pet parents.

When you arrive to pick up your dog, the same process applies. Please wait by the kennel door until a staff member can assist you.

Cancellation Policy

We do not have a cancellation policy. Our clients have always been great at respecting our time and space constraints. We have always been aware that “stuff happens” and from time to time, a booking needs to be cancelled.

We do, however, have to do some capacity planning for staff and space at holiday time. Therefore, we are adding a gentle “holiday only” cancellation policy.

Holiday Cancellation Policy

For overnight bookings that must be cancelled during one of the the listed holidays, we will need to charge a minimum one night, including the $20 holiday fee.

We know our clients will understand our desire to provide excellent and safe care for dogs throughout our high demand times and we thank you for your support.
