DOG BOARDING
MISSISSAUGA
From $90/day · E-transfer holds the date · 50 min via 401
Premium trainer-supervised dog boarding for Mississauga owners. 20-acre Paddock Estate in Pickering — drive 50 minutes via the 401, or owner-arrange a Scarborough drop-off (35–40 min). Working trainer on the property 24/7. Daily photo and video updates. From $90/day.
Why Mississauga dog owners choose The Dogfather
Mississauga clients drive 50 minutes east on the 401 for one reason — the dog is actually supervised. A working trainer is on the property 24/7. The same person you spoke with on the $50 phone evaluation is the one feeding, walking, and crating your dog every single day of the stay. Erin Mills, Streetsville, and Port Credit owners consistently say this is what convinced them after a previous bad kennel experience near Square One.
The facility is a 20-acre estate property — outdoor structure, premium indoor crates for rest periods and overnight, climate-controlled decompression space. Not a strip-mall kennel, not a warehouse, not a converted barn. Mississauga owners often say their dog is calmer at pickup than at drop-off — that's what a structured small-batch day looks like.
Daily photo and 30-second video sent proactively — not on request. Many Mississauga clients are travelling for work, extended family overseas, or summer cottage season. Seeing the dog in the yard, in the crate, on the walk — that visibility is the difference between a stressful trip and a clean one.

Mississauga dog boarding FAQ
How long is the drive from Mississauga to your facility?
Roughly 50 minutes from central Mississauga (Square One area) to Paddock Estate in Pickering via the 401 east, off-peak. Owner-arranged drop-off at the Scarborough location is the second option — 35-40 minutes via 401, useful for weekday rush-hour windows. Most Mississauga clients pick the 401 east route on a Sunday or Friday evening when traffic flows.
Do you offer pickup or drop-off coordination for Mississauga?
Drop-off is owner-driven to either Scarborough or Paddock Estate (Pickering). For Board & Train clients ($150/day), three in-home handover sessions are included at no extra charge — the trainer drives to Mississauga (Erin Mills, Streetsville, Port Credit, Meadowvale, Square One area) to install the protocol in your home with your routines, your family, and your real-environment triggers. For straight boarding the owner drives the dog.
What's your service area within Mississauga — which neighborhoods?
All of Mississauga. Active boarding clients drive in from Square One / City Centre, Erin Mills, Streetsville, Port Credit, Meadowvale, Lisgar, Mineola, Lorne Park, Clarkson, Cooksville, Applewood, Churchill Meadows, Central Erin Mills, Hurontario, Heartland, and Malton. If you're inside Mississauga city limits, you're within an hour of either facility.
How does pricing work — same as Toronto/GTA?
Yes. Mississauga clients pay the same rates as Toronto, Markham, Scarborough, or anywhere in the GTA. No surcharge for Peel Region or the 401 corridor. Daycare $75/day · Boarding $90/day · Board & Train $150/day · Reactive $200/day · Special Needs $250/day. No long-weekend surcharge. Full payment upfront via e-transfer to support@dogfather.ca. The $50 phone evaluation is credited toward the first stay.
What if my dog has special needs (senior, reactive, medical)?
Three tiers fit special-needs Mississauga dogs. Reactive Dogs ($200/day) — dog-reactive or human-reactive cases that standard Mississauga kennels won't take, separate yard time and no surprise dog interactions. Special Needs ($250/day) — seniors with reduced mobility, dogs on daily meds (Prozac, Gabapentin, Trazodone, insulin, thyroid, NSAIDs, eye drops), or anxious dogs who need a hand-fed feeding schedule. Board & Train ($150/day) — adds active obedience reinforcement on top of the boarding stay. Many Mississauga clients arrive here after being turned away by a Square One or Erin Mills kennel.
Do you do board+train + summer boarding combined?
Yes. Common Mississauga combo: 2–4 week Board & Train in June ($150/day), summer vacation boarding in July or August at $90/day, repeat in fall. The dog comes back to a structured environment they already know, the trainer already understands the dog's protocol, and behavioural progress isn't lost while you're at the cottage or overseas. Combined stays book earliest in the calendar — call 647-551-2633 to plan the timing.
