“Your all-in-one solution; Their home away from home “

Welcome to Doghaven, Squamish's premier and original dog care facility since 1997. As industry pioneers, we set the standard for exceptional canine care, and our reputation speaks for itself.
At Doghaven, we believe in transparency, authenticity, and a unique boutique experience that caters to our clients and their beloved four-legged family members.
Our commitment to creating an environment where dogs can be themselves and thrive sets us apart from other facilities. No kennels, no force – just a space filled with love, care, and lots of physical and mental stimulation. We understand that each dog is unique, and we take the time to cater to their specific needs, ensuring consistency and comfort in their stay.
We are an all-in-one solution for your canine care needs. Day Visits, Overnight Boarding, and Door to Door Services are some of the many offerings.
Safety, well-being, and thriving dogs are our mission's core. We take pride in creating a calm and stimulating environment that is a true haven for the dogs that come to us.
We focus on providing individualized care, ensuring each dog receives the attention and support they need to flourish.
We are not a drop off centre and every new dog joining undergoes a integration process to ensure all our dogs are a good match. Our intentional approach reduces the risk of transmission, minimizes emotional stress for the dogs, and ensures consistent behaviours and reliable services. By maintaining this careful balance, we can dedicate our time and resources to building strong, lasting connections with our human and canine clients.
At Doghaven, we believe in the power of long-term relationships and treat every dog and its owner with honesty, transparency and respect.
As we acknowledge there are no official standards in the industry, we would like to inspire other heart-centred dog businesses to take a holistic approach to modern dog care.
We created a dog paradise on a beautiful acreage. Surrounded by nature yet conveniently close to downtown Squamish, our location offers the perfect blend of tranquillity and accessibility.
At Doghaven, we understand the importance of providing our furry clients with a kennel-free environment that promotes freedom and happiness. Our facility boast multiple indoor and outdoor areas. From interactive playtime to lounging in the sun, every moment at Doghaven is tailored to meet your dog's specific needs and preferences.
Our lounging space offers a cozy retreat for dogs to relax and unwind. Outdoors, we have thoughtfully designed play areas, including pools, sandpits, and an agility park. On the trails, we carefully match small groups based on the individual dog’s needs and abilities.
Our facility is equipped with everything a doggy heart desires, guaranteeing a stimulating and enjoyable stay.

Michelle and her Team genuinely care and understand dogs. They are always welcoming and available to chat to about any concerns. Our dog, Juno has been visiting Doghaven since she was a puppy and visits with enthusiasm. We can leave her knowing that she is in professional care, will have a fantastic mountain hike, garden play and the best homely rest area. Doghaven knows dogs and weather and adapt the day to the dogs best interest. This is very special to us and we are very thankful to have them near us.
Chris, Jenny & Juno
We have been taking our dog to Dog Haven for 2+ years now, and approximately 1-2 times a week. We could not say enough wonderful things about their staff and facility! We love their indoor/outdoor space, especially during bad weather days. The staff are so friendly and caring , and we trust he is in good hands with them. Our dog pulls us to their front door, tail wagging because he is so happy to be there!! We will continue to take him there for years to come!
Vanessa & Finnley
“Our dog has been going to Dog Haven for nearly 3 years, we love the team there. Through the 3 years we have had the best experience boarding and in daycare. Michelle went above and beyond this year when I went into labour early and she took care of our dog until I was out of hospital on super short notice. We love seeing post of our dog having a blast on walks and at the centre. We also really appreciate the time and effort they go to, to work with the quirks our dog has. We love that we have this amazing option in Squamish.”
Megan & Revi
We have two dogs that visit Haven both for daycare and boarding. One of our dogs is very anxious and nervous, which is a challenge that Michelle and team have embraced. In the past we'd been reluctant to board our anxious dog because it was so traumatic for everyone involved, but with the success we've had with Haven we're now very comfortable leaving him in their care and being able to enjoy our vacations.

They cater to all the individual dogs needs and go above and beyond . Thank you all at dog haven on Raven!
Hannah & Jackson
Michelle and the team at Dog Haven are amazing!! Our dog Choya has been going to Dog Haven for daycare and boarding for around 5 years. She is so loved and well cared for while there - she often doesn’t want to come home! We are so grateful to have such an amazing place for dogs in Squamish.
Jessie & Choya
I have been sending my dog to Dog Haven for 3 years and she LOVES it. The entire team is caring, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to make all the pups (and owners) feel comfortable.
Chelsea & Ossa
I have been using Doghaven for over 10 years, my senior dog now 14 loved going , and still remembers the ladies when we bring my 2.5 year old dog..I have no doubt in my mind these ladies take excellent care of my fur babies as soon as we turn down the road the get so excited, I will never choose another place for my dogs to go!
Carly & Luna
You can HEAR my dog headed for daycare when he's on his way to Doghaven, as he starts squealing and barking and dancing as soon as we turn off the highway - he knows the route! Our 4-ish year old dog has been going to Doghaven since he was a little puppy. He's a rambunctious boy with a few minor anxiety issues, and the ladies at DH know exactly how to make him feel comfortable out on hikes and give him the awesome exercise he needs! At the home base, he's Mr. Cassanova and comfortable as can be. I can honestly say that the socialization and exercise that my dog gets at DH is top notch and every single handler there (esp Kyanna and Rachele), and of course Michelle the leader of the pack, are extremely capable, caring, loving actually, and wonderful. We love the Insta photos too - so fun to see our boy out with his friends. Thank you all for being SO good to our family! We appreciate you! <3
Susan, Stephen & Spencer
Michelle and her team take great care with introductions, on boarding, and ensuring the right fit. I appreciate the care that goes into this process as it means each dog is set up for success both with meeting new friends and with the routine. Since visiting Dog Haven regularly, my dog is much more at ease when meeting new dogs out on the trails. I attribute this to the positive experiences he has each week with Dog Haven.
