In 2022, we opened the doors to Northside Dog Retreat with one clear mission — to make cage-free, safe, and high-quality dog care accessible & affordable for every pet parent.
We knew we had to create something different — a place where dogs could play freely, rest comfortably, and feel loved like home, without the stress of add-on fees or hidden costs. That's why we designed our one flat-rate system, where everything your pup needs & loves is included while you're away on vacation.
Just 15 minutes from the heart of Milton and 35 minutes from Toronto Pearson Airport, our retreat offers a spacious, peaceful environment for dogs to relax and have fun — far from the city's noise and rush. Northside was established on an immaculate 47-acre property, providing plenty of open space.
At Northside Dog Retreat, we're dedicated to providing your furry friend with safe, trustworthy care that feels like home. Here, every dog enjoys cage-free living and plenty of time to frolic outdoors. We welcome pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Our team of loving professionals are trained to give your pet the kind of care and cuddles that make their stay with us a true retreat.
Your dog's safety is our top concern at Northside Dog Retreat. With 18 hours of hands-on care each day from our certified canine care professional, we make sure your pup receives the dedicated attention, supervision, and love they deserve.
To maintain a calm and secure environment, our facility is equipped with advanced Monitoring & Safety Technology.
