We proudly serve the Montreal region all the way to Eastern Ontario! Our dog boarding services ensures quality care for all your dog and cat boarding needs. With nearly 50 years of continuous operation, our Montreal area dog kennel demonstrates a strong commitment to the well-being of the pets in our care, providing safety, comfort, and fun for everyone involved! We’re here to help you and your furry friends!

At our dog kennel, we promise pet owners full disclosure of all circumstances related to their pet's stay with us. We will work closely with you to ensure the most positive experience for your pet and the least worrisome separation for you.

Jennifer, Samantha, and I (Chris) have always had dogs and cats in our lives. To us, these furry friends are more than pets; they are family and constant companions. This passion and love for animals inspire our work at Possumplace, a premier dog kennel in Montreal. Having purchased the kennel in 2022, we are excited to continue the proud legacy established by Bill and Maria. We look forward to providing exceptional dog boarding in the Montreal area and maintaining the standards of excellence that define quality dog kennels.

Every dog boarding experience at our Montreal area dog kennel includes the following services and amenities: Playtime in a grassy courtyard, administration of medications (both oral and topical), management of special diets, and regular grooming services such as brushings, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and eye checks. We ensure that all experiences are non-stressful and positive; we do not muzzle or force any service on our boarders. Our team provides regular supervision and human contact throughout the day.
The environment offered to our boarders at our dog kennel in the Montreal area features central air conditioning and heated indoor runs, fully covered outdoor runs, and all runs are equipped with blankets and pee pads. We wash all indoor surfaces daily, while our outdoor runs and play-fields are scooped three times a day. We also provide fresh drinking water and offer on-site residency, ensuring that our boarders are never left alone.
We encourage socialization and play among our boarders and staff, but we do not train or discipline our boarders.
Please call or email if you have any questions about our dog kennels in the Montreal area.
Please note that during peak periods, our dog boarding services fill up quickly, so you can never book too early.

Although still in the kennel, boarders enjoy more roaming freedom and are separated from the noise and bustle of mainstream boarders. We offer an individualized mix of play, buddy time, rest, and human interaction. Ideal for older, less active dogs requiring monitoring or rest, this area is also where dogs needing close medical monitoring are kept, ensuring a safe environment.
TEMPORARY NOT ACCEPTING NEW DOGS FOR IN HOME
Dogs are welcomed into the home of Chris, Jennifer, and their pets. Boarders are encouraged to make themselves at home, similar to the comfort of a caring dog kennel in Montreal.
A pre-visit for first-time house guests is required before their stay. This allows time to meet the resident house dogs and ensure everyone gets along. All house guests must be housebroken.

Large indoor run. Tucker is in the front and Mollie in the back. The gate is closed for eating and sleeping. This helps us know who is eating what food, and makes sure dogs are not bothering each other over night.
Please reach us at possumplacedogs@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
No, our dogs are inside to eat and sleep only, bedtime is around 7:00 pm. The rest of the time they are in their outdoor covered run (with their buddy) or in the play field. Essentially your dogs are outside from 7 am till 7 pm.
The individual indoor runs for eating and sleeping are 36 sq feet. The outdoor runs which are shared with up to one buddy are 120 sq feet, they are fully covered and have skylights and ventilation fans. The play field is approximately 600 m².
Please provide your pet's vaccination records to us before their stay.
We want your dog to have a positive experience with us.
When you see a dog all day, every day, it is harder to notice weight gain/loss, especially for longer stays. Weekly weigh ins help us adjust feedings to keep our boarders at their optimal weight.
The indoor portion of the kennel is equipped with central air conditioning and heating. Our outdoor runs are equipped with roof mounted ventilation fans to circulate the outside air. Our outdoor runs have thermometers to help us monitor temperature. If any dog seems uncomfortable in the summer we bring them in where it is nice and cool, once comfy we bring them back out. Conversely in winter the outdoor run walls are covered with a thick layer of builders plastic. This prevents wind and snow from entering the runs while still permitting light in. Again, if any dog looks cold when we do our 30 minute walkabout we bring them in to warm up.
Breakfast is 8ish, Dinner is 4ish, there is fresh water in the outdoor runs and play fields all day long.
Water filled daily, buckets washed and changed every 3 days, or when a new boarder arrives ( whichever comes first). Water policy "If I won't drink it neither should my dogs"
We walk around all our outdoor runs to maintain the following standards, clean drinking water, clean blanket, good stool condition, regular temperament of our boarders, temperature in runs, if any of these items is not to our comfort level we correct it.
Should the need arise; we will do everything in our power to contact you and/or the emergency contact you provide if your pet(s) need medical attention. In the event that we cannot get a hold of anyone, we will do what we feel is best for your pet unless otherwise informed by you prior to boarding.
No, every dog is transported in the appropriate sized kennel. This is for their safety.
We understand that things happen when traveling, we need to know you are actually back home. That way we save the dog from unnecessary travel. If you arrive at 2am, call and leave a message. If we don't hear from you we will not be delivering your dog that day.
Cash, Check or Interac email transfers to possumplacedogs@gmail.com
You are charged for the day your dog or cat arrives and leaves regardless of time of day. IE. Arrives Monday ( any time of day), and, leaves Tuesday (any time of day), you are charged for 2 calendar days + H.S.T.
Our side of the street is Ontario, hence we charge HST
It can be stressful to board your pet. If you have any questions or concerns about how we create a home away from home for your pet, please reach out. We will get back to you soon!
