Kelsey's Pet House

Kelsey's Pet House is a small in-home dog boarding and daycare business in Windsor, Ontario. Dogs stay inside a private home instead of a commercial kennel run, and the house holds about eight dogs total at any one time. That suits owners who want their dog kept in a house routine while they are away.

Services

• In-home overnight boarding, booked as a 24-hour sleepover
• Cage-free stays, so dogs share the home's living space
• Dog daycare
• Dog walking in 30-minute and one-hour sessions
• Drop-in pet visits at the owner's own home

What makes it different

The eight-dog cap is the detail most owners will care about. It keeps the group small and the day quieter than a larger facility, which can help dogs that get overwhelmed by a busy kennel floor. Boarding, daycare, and walks all run out of the same home, so a dog that already knows the place from a daycare day is not arriving somewhere unfamiliar at drop-off. Overnight boarding is listed at $60 per night on the business's own site.

Getting started

New dogs are not simply dropped off. A meet-and-greet comes first, then a trial half-day so it is clear the dog fits into the home before an overnight stay is booked. Dogs must be up to date on their vaccinations.

Practical details

Windsor owners who do not need overnight care can book dog walking or drop-in visits at their own address instead. Requests go through email at kelseyspethouse@gmail.com or the phone number 403-762-1928, and the business lists Facebook and Instagram pages.
