Spruce Valley Boarding - Spruce Grove, Alberta

SPV is the absolute best kennel you could ever leave your dogs at. All of the employees are super kind, knowledgeable and experienced. The owner is a vet tech and lives on site, and one of her staff members is a professional trainer. They are truly outstanding.

We were referred to Spruce Valley by another dog boarding facility because we were looking for a force free facility with more human interaction and a smaller dog to human ratio than most dog daycares/kennels offer. We were initially concerned having a smaller dog socialize with larger breeds, but Hayley and Michele did a great job introducing our pup to various regulars and she had a great time playing and hanging out with “the big dogs”.

It was also reassuring that the owners live on site and one of them is a RVT - huge bonus! Loved the report card and regular electronic updates too.

Our dog loved her trial stay and we look forward to travelling without worrying about our pets care and safety.

Thank you!

We were away for a few days and were looking into different options for boarding our dog for the first time. What stood out the most about Spruce Valley was that they limit the number of dogs, and one of the owners on site is a registered vet tech (Krista). They allow tours with your pet, and our dog really liked Hayley right away. We were nervous about how he would do because he doesn't like bigger dogs, but they slowly introduced him to dogs with similar temperaments. There are some extra options for training or additional enrichment. They give a report about what your pet does during the day, and post lots of videos. It was great to see him having such a good time and making some friends. I'm so happy he enjoyed his time at Spruce Valley, it felt like a fun camp for him. I would definitely recommend!

We have utilized many dog boarding businesses over the years for our previous 7 Great Danes. Spruce Valley Boarding is the absolute best one. They offer many services while your dog stays, nail trims, training, enrichment activities, baths, and frozen Kong treats. Utah was absolutely pampered there and so well taken care of we had no worries while we were away. They limit the amount of dogs so that they can focus on all the dogs, which are never left alone to play always supervised and they ensure the behaviour and personality of each dog is matched with like dogs so that the dogs feel supported and have the best experience. Utah’s walks improved with just 3 training sessions totally worth it. Plus her nail trim was excellent she doesn’t like us to do it but no issues with having it done here. The owner is so knowledgeable and has hired the best staff! Utah loves it there and we highly recommend it for your boarding and daycare needs. If I could give a higher rating it would be perfection.

I have left my mini Australian shepherd here twice this summer for 5 days and I am glad I picked this spot. They post daily videos and photos on Instagram stories, they will send you individual photos to your email, they will give you multiple updates, you can pay a great price for many basic amenities that are full of love and attention. I dropped my dog off and was pulling away and saw that they let him into the side yard to have him start sniffing while the other dogs were on the other side of the fence waiting. It had been minutes and it was like my dog forgot I just abandoned him and he was already in his own little dog world. Brought a tear to my eye. Highly recommend this place!

We were so nervous to put our pup Nash in a kennel when we went away on vacation back in May. He recently had ACL surgery and was on some strick recovery guidelines. With Krista being a former vet tech it put my husband and I at ease knowing she would know what to do with him. When we dropped him off he still had a slight limp in his walk and when we picked him up a week and a half later it was all gone. She sent us updates with progress reports and pictures during our time always and made us feel so comfortable leaving his care in someone else's hands. Will 100% be using her services in the future if we ever go away again.

My dog and cat recently stayed at Spruce Valley Boarding and I felt so confident leaving them in the care of the wonderful staff and the comfortable kennels. Every day while I was away, I was able to view their activities and well being. I have to say that both my pets looked happy, healthy and loved interacting with both the staff and fellow fur friends who were sharing space together. I would recommend this kennel to anyone and also know if I travel, this is where my little furry babes will be staying!

We were looking around for a good kennel to bring our dog to and my sister suggested Spruce Valley as she also brings her dog here. They were more than willing to let us tour the facility and answered all of our questions. They're so accommodating, very hands on and our dog loves it here. As soon as we pull up she's just itching to get out of the vehicle to play with the other dogs. This place isn't just good, they're absolutely amazing. They provide updates and it's so nice to see the dogs all having fun together on their social media. It's the only kennel we will trust bringing our dog to. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!
