Dog Boarding Calgary — Your Dog Stays with Someone They Know

Your dog spends the day at PAWS Dog Daycare enjoying pack walks, supervised play, and socialization. At the end of the day, a PAWS Pro takes your dog to their home for the night. Your dog gets the full daycare experience plus cozy, private overnight care — home-style, with personal attention.

At PAWS, your dog stays in a real home with a person they already know — not in a cage at a facility. During the day they enjoy the full daycare program (pack walks, play groups, enrichment). At night they sleep comfortably in a PAWS Pro's home. It's the opposite of a traditional kennel.

PAWS Pros are current or former PAWS Dog Daycare staff members. They are rigorously trained in dog behavior and already know the dogs in our pack. Every PAWS Pro is insured under our business insurance.

Yes — it's part of our process. Once we match you with a Pro for your requested dates, they'll reach out directly so you can get acquainted, discuss your dog's needs, and feel completely confident before the stay begins.

Yes. Every PAWS Pro is comprehensively covered by PAWS Dog Daycare's business insurance — both inside our facility and when boarding in their own homes.

Your dog is always with someone. During the day they're at PAWS daycare with pack walks, supervised play, and potty breaks. In the evening they go to the PAWS Pro's home for rest and personal attention — one-on-one care in a real home.

Yes, and we encourage it. Availability isn't always guaranteed, but we do our best to match you with your preferred Pro. If they're unavailable, another equally qualified Pro will provide the same standard of care.

PAWS Pros are backed by a full team. If something happens to your designated Pro, another qualified PAWS Pro steps in seamlessly. For routine care we use Animal Clinic Calgary; for emergencies, Western Veterinary Specialist and Emergency Centre on 10th Ave SW.

The best dog boarding option in Calgary depends on what your dog needs. If your dog is already part of a daycare community, PAWS Dog Daycare's in-home boarding with the PAWS Pro network is widely considered one of the best — your dog stays in a real home with a staff member they already know, not in a cage. PAWS is BBB accredited, rated {{ business.rating }} stars from {{ business.reviewCount }}+ Google reviews, and has been serving Calgary since {{ business.founded }}.

Yes. PAWS Pros live throughout Calgary — NW, NE, SW, and SE — so we can usually match your dog with a Pro relatively close to you. Drop-off and pick-up happen at our SW Calgary facility ({{ business.address.street }}) where your dog also spends the daytime portion of each boarding day.

Yes, with careful matching. Because PAWS Pros are current or former daycare staff who already know your dog's temperament from their daycare visits, they're exceptionally well-equipped to handle reactive, anxious, or senior dogs. We'll match your dog with a Pro whose home environment and experience are the right fit. A pre-stay meet and greet is always part of the process.
