Way more fun than a cage at the vet's office.
Your dog thinks they’re on their own private vacation with a treat-dealing, belly-rubbing, wilderness-romping specialist.
Set up a no-obligation Adventure Boarding evaluation!
"Adventure Boarding with DANW is the best. I can travel without worrying that they're cooped up somewhere, feeling sad — at Dog Adventures Northwest, they have tons of fun and get lots of love and cuddles."
Vanessa, Hazel, and Murphy
Tickets booked. Bags packed. Hotel reserved.
But what about the dog?
Traditional kennels — unfamiliar surroundings with unfamiliar dogs and humans — are likely a miserable option for your pup. And letting some rando you found on a gig-sourcing site care for your dog kiddo? Noooooo.
If your dog is stressed when you leave, you are going to be stressed the entire time you are away… the opposite of how you want to feel when you are on vacation or a business trip.
With Dog Adventures Northwest’s Adventure Boarding service, you don’t have to worry about your dog while you travel. Full stop.
Adventure Boarding is the vacation your dog would have planned.
Your dog is one of the family.
No stacked crates, cold cement floors, empty houses, or endless nights spent howling alone. With Dog Adventures Northwest’s Adventure Boarding service, your pup gets to stay in a home as a part of a dog trainer’s family. They will spend their time snuggled on the sofa, out on an Adventure, or learning how to not beg for snacks in the kitchen.
We mean it! Here's Kerry's family, cuddling in their PJs with a boarding pup.
Every day is an Adventure day.
Lying on the beach might be your idea of fun, but we know a good day for your dog means doing more! Your dogs get breed-specific and age-appropriate exercise and enrichment, food puzzles, scent work, agility, recall, behavior management, and more while in our care. Think of it as an overnight summer camp for your furriest child.

We have backups for our backups.
What’s worse than getting a sunburn on your first day of vacation? Getting a call that your dog needs a new place to stay due to an unforeseen circumstance with the petsitter you found on CraigsList. We run a 25 + deep team of dog trainers, so there is never a worry about your dog being in the happy home of a dog lover who has been background checked, licensed, bonded, and insured with Dog Adventures Northwest. Changes in plan are highly unlikely, but we are there for the "life happens" moments.

"Our dog absolutely loves the time she spends at her trainer's house and we appreciate boarding her in a warm and caring home ,versus a boarding facility. Along with her daily outdoor adventures, Mavis enjoys spending her day playing with her buddies and lounging on the sofa with human friends."
Ashlee, Kate, and Mavis
Give your dog a safe, loving, and FUN experience while you are away.

Take the Quiz
Off-leash adventures may or may not be a good fit for your (very good, no matter what) pup. Take our ten-question Adventure Quiz to see if your dog's temperament, skills, and sensitivities are compatible with our outings! (If not, there may still be an option to take your pup on leashed-adventures! Just let us know.)
