Dog Boarding Near Markham
A camp stay with room to play—and time to unwind
100-acre Uxbridge camp · Supervised play and rest · Staff on site overnight
Choosing dog boarding near Markham is about more than finding an available space. It is about finding a stay that fits your dog. At Dogs at Camp, Markham and Unionville families can explore a country alternative: indoor and outdoor camp life at our Uxbridge location, with a team that gets to know each dog’s preferences.
More than exercise
Not every dog wants the same kind of day
One dog is eager to join the play; another is happiest close to a counsellor. Energy can change through the day, too. Camp includes opportunities to be active and to step back, with indoor and outdoor time guided by the weather and the dogs’ comfort.
Meals are served separately, with quiet time afterwards. At night, dogs settle indoors in climate-controlled spaces, with staff on site. The aim is a balanced stay, not constant activity from arrival to collection.
Read our typical camp day and overnight boarding guide to see how play, meals and rest fit together.
Help us understand your dog
Three things to discuss before boarding
Their social comfort
Do they seek out other dogs, prefer familiar people, or take time to join in? Tell us what you see at home and on walks. Camp is a social environment, so this conversation matters.
Their pace
Explain how much activity they normally enjoy and when they rest. Older dogs may need a gentler pace; their health and mobility still need to suit camp. Read our senior dog guidance before arranging a visit.
Their familiar routines
Share feeding instructions, medication needs and how they usually settle at bedtime. Discuss anything that needs particular attention before booking, so we can confirm whether the arrangements are suitable.
A tour gives you a chance to bring these questions to the team and see the setting with your dog. You can also review which dogs do well at camp.
Optional additions
Choose extras for enjoyment, not a fuller timetable
Some dogs love a little extra time with a person. Individual Time is a separately booked session with a camp counsellor, away from the group. It can involve play, a walk or simply relaxing together.
Other optional activities include trail walks and puzzle sessions. Ask which choices suit your dog’s energy and interests, and check the current prices. Choose the experiences your dog would enjoy, while leaving room for the familiar rhythm of play, meals and rest.

Visit the camp where your dog will stay
Dogs at Camp is in Uxbridge, not in Markham. A visit lets you judge the environment and the journey together. Check directions from your own starting point, then choose a tour or arrival time that leaves room for traffic.
Questions from families considering camp
Does my dog have to be energetic to enjoy camp?
No. Enjoying the company of dogs and people matters more than wanting to run all day. Tell us about your dog’s preferred pace so we can discuss whether this social setting is right for them.
Can an older dog come from Markham for boarding?
We welcome senior dogs whose health and mobility suit the camp environment. Speak with us about their needs before your tour, rather than assuming age alone decides whether camp is suitable.
Can I see the sleeping spaces before deciding?
A camp tour is the opportunity to see the setting, meet the team and ask about overnight arrangements. Please arrange your visit ahead of time and bring your care questions.
