Dog Boarding
Our fully licensed pet boarding kennel provides a comfortable, safe and fun environment for your dog.
We believe in a stress-free, safe and clean dog boarding environment. Dog boarding includes a spacious, bright, private suite with a raised bed. Your dog(s) will enjoy unlimited supervised play (group or individual). We go out rain or shine but play time can also be held indoors if needed for those that prefer it.
Our morning wake up routine starts at 7am, all dogs are fed their breakfast and then outside they go to join their daycare friends in the yards.
At 5pm all the dogs come inside for their supper and rest time. They go out again for one final pee break around 9pm.
What’s included when your dog boards at Qimmiq:
- Food is provided at no extra charge
- Every kennel is equipped with a raised Kuranda Bed with a cozy topper to keep your pup warm and comfortable.
- We provide all stainless steel food and water dishes. They are washed and sanitized daily.
- treats
Day Care
The perfect solution for energetic dogs, working pet parents, or those with a busy schedule.
Dog daycare at Qimmiq includes unlimited supervised group or individual play. We go out rain or shine but play time can also be held indoors if needed for those that prefer it. Our play groups are based on the size and personality of each dog in the group, so all of our furry guests have fun but still remain as safe as possible!
Always wondered what really happens at Qimmiq with your dog during the day?
Let me tell you – because there are alot of misconceptions about what your dog does when they are here!
When you arrive at the Qimmiq drop off you can see small yards all around the building and kennels filled with dogs. these are our holding yards. All the dogs arrive and wait in these holding yards until the end off drop off time.
Once all the dogs arrive, we make “the plan”. This is where the staff work their magic and match every dog up with their buddies who came to daycare that day or may be a boarding and assign them to a yard.
The we have “The Move”. Where we then move every dog to their assigned yard where they will play with their friends for the day.
Qimmiq is spread across 3 properties totaling approximately 3 acres.
Store

Hear My success Story
Vers
Previously known as Chips
My Name is Vers, My new parents named me after their favourite superhero. During the Behchokǫ̀ wildfires in summer of 2023 I was rescued by the Tlicho Animal Care Society and brought to what ended up being my temporary home at Pet Paradise. Christy and the staff at Pet Paradise took me in and made me family. After months of living at Pet Paradise Christy flew with me all the way to Ontario where I live now with my furry sister Athena where we spend our days running around our country property and camping on the weekends. Christy and her passion helped make my story a success and she has brought this passion with her to Qimmiq.
Thank You QIMMIQ!
