“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 in the summer, 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.

  • Happy Labrador Retriever looking up outdoors on grass with scattered leaves.

    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.

  • A black and white dog standing on grass in a backyard, framed by blurred greenery in the foreground, with a wooden fence and trees in the background.

    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!

  • A happy dog with a black saddle markings, standing on green grass with blurred trees in the background, during golden hour.

    “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.”

  • Close-up of a black retriever dog with wet fur, smiling, with a blurred green background.

    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.

    I’m so so grateful I found this amazing place . My dog Jackson can sometimes get overwhelmed in busy environments but they truly have created a safe haven and all the dogs seem very very happy here ! They cater to all the individual dogs needs and go above and beyond . Thank you all at dog haven on Raven!

  • A brindle-coated dog standing outdoors in a grassy area with yellow and green trees in the background.

    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.

  • A black and white dog with heterochromatic eyes, sitting on grass and looking up at the camera, with its mouth open and tongue slightly out.

    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

  • Golden retriever dog sitting on a grassy field with a blurred green foliage background.

    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

  • A happy black and tan dog with pointed ears and brown eyes, sitting outdoors on a grassy area with trees in the background.

    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

  • A white and brown speckled dog standing on a paved road with trees in the background.

    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.

FAQs

  • Doghaven is a safe space where dogs get their needs met.

    To ensure this, we require all dogs to be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

    Dogs coming to Doghaven must be well-mannered and social. We don't mind quirks - we simply need transparent owners telling us about those.

    We are kennel-free and require regular day visits to ensure all our dogs are comfortable with each other.

    We only board dogs that are fully integrated pack members and suitable for overnight stays.

  • The dogs are at the centre of our attention. Each dog is assessed, and we develop the best care plan for their needs while finding solutions that fit your schedule.

    To care for your dogs best, we need you to be transparent, open-minded and commutative.

    All services must be pre-booked and pre-paid. Please book, cancel or change appointments at least 24h in advance and stick to our drop-off times. Timing plays a crucial part in our work.

    We understand that life can sometimes unexpectedly get in the way, and we try to accommodate whenever possible - all we ask for is mutual respect and reciprocity.
