Pet Boarding/Pet Sitters in Dorchester, Canada

I boarded my dog at "Country Club for Pets" last march. They are located kind of just outside the northeast end of the city in a really nice area. The facilities were clean and the staff competent. They had the best price at the time. I think it is $20 or $21 for one night, with discounts for extended stays. Make sure that you arrange for your dog to receive the kennel cough (boardatella) vaccine ASAP if they don't already have it, as any reputable kennel won't take them otherwise, and it needs to be administered I think a week or two before their stay. Also, make sure you have the vaccination documents for rabies and all that jazz with you when you drop them off. Again, if they don't ask then you don't want your dog staying there. A friend had their dogs boarded at Country Paws recently, and there was a big issue when one of them got sick (although it was the first bad experience they had with that kennel).

I used to take my dog to AtMerithot Pet resort, they were really personable there and knew my dog very well.

I've heard great things about Country Club for Pets too, but on a friend's recommendation I've been taking my golden retriever to [Countryside Kennel](http://www.countrysidekennel.ca). It's $25/day for two group playtimes and a walk, which is enough that my ordinarily high-energy dog is tired when we get him home. More importantly, he loves it there. As soon as he hops out of the car and realizes where he is, he starts pulling on the leash to get *in* to the kennel. We recently left him there for a week while we were on vacation and he was perfectly fine when we picked him up.
