Auburn Kennels

Auburn Kennels, LLC is a small kennel at 5190 Bell Rd offering dog boarding in Auburn, CA, along with daycare and room for a couple of cats. The building is climate controlled, and the facility holds 13 dogs, so the guest list stays short. Dogs of every size, from small through giant, are accepted.

What a stay looks like

Dogs get outdoor time in five fenced play yards, with group play running about five hours a day. Each kennel is bedded with a sheepskin rug. Four varieties of dry kibble are kept on site, and there is a refrigerator for special food items that need to stay cold. Staff will administer medication and follow special diet instructions.

Practical details

Published rates run $25 to $38 per night. Booking is handled by phone at (530) 888-6380, and questions can go to sylvia@auburnkennels.net or through auburnkennels.net. Proof of vaccination is required before a dog can stay. The kennel is open every day: 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM Sunday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Saturday. Those weekend hours matter for owners leaving town on a Friday and returning Sunday.

Cats are boarded as well, in two cages kept in the office, which helps households that travel with both a dog and a cat. Between the five play yards and the small headcount, Auburn Kennels fits owners who want their dog outside and moving during the day rather than shut in. Anyone comparing options in Auburn should call ahead, since 13 spots fill quickly around holidays.
