Canine Camp Boarding

Canine Camp Boarding runs dog boarding and daycare on 10 acres of wooded country property at 2317 Deornellas Road in Jacksonville, IL. The kennel takes dogs of every size, from small to giant, and boards cats as well. A resident manager lives on site, which is how the kennel keeps supervision going 24 hours a day.

What a stay includes

• Climate-controlled kennels with fenced indoor and outdoor areas
• Personalized playtime in the fenced play yard
• On-leash walks for exercise and bathroom breaks
• Nap time from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. with relaxing music, plus bedtime snacks
• Grooming, day camp, and pickup and drop-off service

What sets it apart

The daily routine here is spelled out instead of left vague. Dogs rest between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. with music playing, head out on leash for walks and bathroom breaks, and get a snack at bedtime. Fenced indoor and outdoor areas give them room to move in most weather, and the kennels are climate controlled. The business is a member of the Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce.

Rates, hours, and booking

Published rates run from $12 to $29 per night. The kennel is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon, and Sunday from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. Reservations are made by phone at (217) 245-6857. Owners can also arrange pickup and delivery rather than driving out to the property themselves.

Good to know

Cats board here too, which helps households with both a dog and a cat. Grooming is offered on site, so a dog can come home clean after a longer stay. Because the property sits on wooded country land, the outdoor space is fenced rather than open acreage.
