Looking for dog boarding near Vancouver, WA that feels more personal than a crowded kennel?
PNW Critters offers home-style dog boarding on a 10-acre farm in Brush Prairie, just outside Vancouver. Dogs stay in a real home environment, get regular outdoor time, daily walks, photo updates, and personal care from someone who only takes a limited number of dogs at a time.
This is a good fit for dog owners who want their dog to have space, attention, supervision, and a calmer boarding experience while they are away.
Check availability for your dog’s stay.
Many dog owners around Vancouver want something different from a standard boarding facility. They do not want their dog sitting in a kennel all day, getting lost in a large group, or coming home stressed.
PNW Critters is different.
Dogs who stay here are treated like part of the household. They spend time inside with us, enjoy outdoor time around the property, go on regular walks, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day.
The goal is simple: your dog should feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away.
PNW Critters is located in Brush Prairie, WA, a short drive from Vancouver. The farm setting gives dogs a more open, peaceful environment than most city boarding options.
Our boarding setup is especially popular with Vancouver dog owners who want:
Small-scale care instead of a crowded kennel
A real home environment
Daily walks and outdoor time
Regular photo updates
A limited number of carefully vetted dogs
A meet-and-greet before booking
A sitter with strong reviews and repeat clients
This is not a high-volume dog boarding facility. We are selective about fit so the environment can stay safer, calmer, and more enjoyable for the dogs who stay here.
Every dog is different, but most boarding stays include:
Home-style care in a real household environment
Regular outdoor time
Daily walks
Photo updates during the stay
Supervision and personal attention
Social time with friendly dogs when appropriate
A farm setting with more space than a typical boarding facility
A meet-and-greet process before new bookings
You can also share your dog’s normal routine, feeding instructions, medication needs, leash habits, anxiety concerns, and anything else that helps us make the stay go smoothly.
PNW Critters is best for dogs who are friendly, safe, and able to settle into a home-style boarding environment.
A good fit is usually a dog who:
Is friendly with people
Is safe around other dogs
Can handle a home environment
Does not show aggression
Can follow a basic routine
Is not a major escape risk
Does well with regular walks and outdoor time
Some nervous dogs do great here because the setting is smaller and more personal than a kennel. Other dogs may need a different type of boarding setup. The meet-and-greet helps make sure the fit is right before booking.
Vancouver has plenty of dog boarding options, but not every dog does well in a traditional kennel or large daycare-style facility.
PNW Critters is built for dog owners who want more personal care.
We only take a limited number of dogs at a time. That helps keep the environment calmer, safer, and easier to manage.
Your dog stays in a home-style environment instead of being placed in a standard boarding run all day.
Dogs get fresh air, walks, and time to enjoy the farm setting.
You will receive updates during your dog’s stay so you can relax and see how they are doing.
New dogs are reviewed before booking to make sure they are a safe and reasonable fit for the farm, the household, Teddy, and the other dogs staying here.
PNW Critters is located in Brush Prairie, Washington, just outside Vancouver. We regularly work with dog owners from Vancouver, Brush Prairie, Hockinson, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Camas, and the greater Clark County area.
For many Vancouver dog owners, the short drive is worth it for a smaller, more personal boarding experience with more space and regular updates.

Puppy boarding, holiday boarding, and special care needs may have different rates depending on the stay.
