About us

Welcome to Woodside Kennels, where our passion for animals is the heart of everything we do. Owned and operated by the Barten family, Woodside Dog Boarding is nestled in Agassiz at the foot of a beautiful mountain, providing a serene and picturesque setting for your beloved pets.

As former dairy farmers, we've spent our lives surrounded by a variety of animals, always dedicated to their care and well-being. Our deep love for all creatures, big and small, has naturally extended to providing exceptional care for your dogs. We truly enjoy meeting new dogs, discovering their unique characters, and ensuring each one feels comfortable and happy during their stay.

With years of experience, we've developed a keen intuition for sensing when an animal is sick, injured, or stressed. We understand that dogs can experience emotional stress, and we're committed to being attentive and proactive in these situations. If your dog shows signs of stress, we'll keep you updated and take all necessary comfort measures, such as providing a more isolated kennel or placing them next to a calm dog.

Trust the Barten family to treat your dog with the same care and compassion we give to our own animals.

We’ll go the extra mile for you and your pets.

At Woodside Kennels, we’ll also monitor your dog's appetite closely. If we notice any loss of appetite, we'll promptly check in with you to ensure your dog receives the best care possible. Our goal is to create a safe, loving, and supportive environment where your furry friend feels at home.

  • "Woodside Kennels is wonderful. Their family-run approach makes all the difference; you can feel the genuine care and love they have for the dogs. Our dog came home happy and well-cared for after a stay. The facility is clean, safe, and Remi had lots of outdoor time. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our furry family member!"
