Welcome to

Walnut Hill K9 Inn

Canine First Aid Certified | Insured | In-Home Boarding

Walnut Hill K9 Inn is a small, family-run dog boarding space inspired by a lifelong love of dogs and country living. We believe that every dog deserves comfort, companionship, and care that feels just like home.

By welcoming only three guests at a time, we ensure each dog receives our full attention — from familiar routines to extra snuggles and one-on-one playtime.

Tucked along Amberley Road (Hwy 86), between Wingham and Listowel, our home offers a peaceful country setting that’s easy to reach for families across Huron and Perth Counties. With plenty of open space, quiet surroundings, and fresh air, it’s the perfect place for dogs to relax and unwind.

At Walnut Hill K9 Inn, we offer a clean, calm, and cozy home where your dog is treated like part of our family.

About me

I’m Tracy, the owner of Walnut Hill K9 Inn, and caring for dogs is something that has always come naturally to me. With years of experience looking after family dogs, rescues, and senior pups, I understand how important it is to find a boarding space that feels safe and familiar.

We live right on Amberley Road (#86) in Howick, where the quiet countryside gives dogs a peaceful and comforting place to stay. I’m also Canine First Aid & CPR certified, giving every dog here the benefit of trained, attentive care.

By keeping capacity small, we focus on comfort, routine, and individualized attention, making each stay calm, personal, and stress-free.
