A Home Away from Home for Your Dog

In-Home Boarding Designed for Comfort and Wellbeing

K9 Tooth Fairy’s in-home boarding service is built around one simple promise: your dog will be treated as family. Instead of kennels or crates, your pet enjoys a cozy, crate-free environment. Located conveniently in Barrie, our home offers a fully fenced yard and a dedicated play area. Dogs can socialize, relax, and play indoors and outdoors, with supervision that keeps their safety and happiness at the forefront. Whether you’re heading out of town or need overnight care, our boarding service ensures your dog’s routine and needs are respected. We welcome dogs from across Barrie, Midhurst, Springwater and GTA, and specialize in creating a calm, nurturing space for pets who may be anxious or unaccustomed to traditional boarding facilities.

Trust Built on Experience and Compassion

Why Choose K9 Tooth Fairy for Pet Boarding?

Entrusting your dog to someone else takes trust. At K9 Tooth Fairy, every aspect of our in-home boarding is guided by a 'pet safety first' philosophy. Avery Craig, our founder, with over 15+ years in animal care, ensuring your pet is in capable hands. We understand the stress boarding can bring, so our approach is relationship-based: your pet will always see the same caregiver, building familiarity and reducing anxiety. The crate-free model means dogs have the freedom to play and rest as they would at home. Our fully fenced backyard is perfect for exercise, and we even have a kiddie pool for water-loving pups. If a pet shows signs of stress, we pause and reassess, never forcing an uncomfortable situation. This commitment to gentle, stress-aware care sets us apart from traditional kennels and is the reason many Barrie families, seniors, and breeders trust us again and again.
