Structured In-Home Dog Boarding in Lehi and Beyond

Leaving town shouldn’t feel stressful—for you or your dog. At Canine by Design, we offer in-home boarding that feels more like home and less like a kennel. Your dog stays with a professional trainer in a quiet, supervised environment—not in a crowded facility.

We serve clients in Lehi, Draper, Alpine, and throughout Utah and Salt Lake Counties who want their dogs cared for with calm, structure, and consistency. While you’re away, your dog gets daily exercise, mental enrichment, and support from someone they already know and trust.

This is an ideal option for vacations, events, or busy seasons. We also offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off, using crash-tested transport crates for safe travel. Boarding is available Monday through Saturday by appointment—and is only offered to current or past training clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dog be around other dogs during boarding?
We limit how many dogs we board at one time, and only accept dogs we’ve worked with before. This means your dog may be around one or two other well-matched dogs during their stay—but only if it’s a safe and positive fit. If your dog prefers one-on-one time, we accommodate that too. Safety, comfort, and compatibility always come first.
Your dog is never left alone overnight. In-home boarding at Canine by Design means your dog stays with a trainer—not in a facility. A member of our team is present to supervise, provide care, and maintain structure day and night. We know how important peace of mind is when you’re away.
