The Good Life AK

The Good Life AK is a farm-style dog boarding and daycare facility in Homer, Alaska, that also takes cats. It runs on a 15-acre hobby farm and rescue, with 2 acres fully fenced just for dogs. Owners who want their dog outside and busy, not waiting in a kennel all day, will likely find the setting appealing.

What is a stay at The Good Life like?

The kennel describes boarding as a farm vacation for pets. Days center on play and socializing in four fenced play yards spread over one acre. The staff say they aim to tire dogs out, but they also make sure quieter dogs get rest and downtime. At night, each dog sleeps in its own 4 ft x 8 ft kennel.

The farm also runs an animal rescue, so a stay here helps support that work.

What services does the kennel offer?

• Overnight dog boarding, short or long term
• Dog daycare with pickup and dropoff
• Private walks at the owner's location
• End-of-stay dog baths
• Indoor cat boarding with litter provided

Owners get daily photo updates while their pet is away. For dogs that don't do well in group play, the private walk service is another option.
