The Country Life Kennels

Nestled in the serene foothills, thirty minutes southeast of Hollister, California, lies The Country Life Kennels, a haven for dogs seeking a peaceful and enriching boarding experience. Our sprawling 40-acre ranch, owned and operated by animal enthusiasts Nicole and Paul, provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. At The Country Life Kennels, we're unwavering in our commitment to providing a clean, spacious, and natural environment where every dog receives personalized care around the clock.

Our Team: Passionate Animal Advocates

Nicole's background as a paramedic for ten years and her four years of experience as a veterinary technician, coupled with Paul's two decades as a firefighter, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our team. This unique combination of professional backgrounds equips us to handle any situation with calm competence, ensuring your pet's well-being remains our top priority. We understand that entrusting your furry companion to someone else can be stressful. That's why we are readily available to answer any questions you may have, providing you with peace of mind while you're away.

A Sanctuary for Your Dog

Our outdoor dog runs and kennels provide ample space for your dog to stretch their legs, explore, and engage in playful activities. Each spacious run, measuring 40 feet wide by 100 feet long, is meticulously designed with pea gravel ground cover, shady trees, and secure 6-foot-high fencing.

Inside each kennel lies a haven of comfort. Each kennel is 6 feet wide by 14 feet long, comes with its own secure, roofed structure, and features concrete flooring for easy cleaning. Provided inside each kennel is a clean dog igloo, cozy bedding, engaging toys, fresh food, and a supply of clean water. The runs and kennels are generously sized, easily accommodating multiple dogs if you have a furry family to board. Each kennel also boasts a raised bed, ensuring your dog stays cool and comfortable even on the warmest days.

Tailored Care for Every Dog

At The Country Life Kennels, we understand that each dog is unique, with individual needs and personalities.

Our boarding packages are thoughtfully designed to cater to your dog's specific requirements. A typical day for our guests begins with a delicious breakfast, followed by leisurely time to digest before an invigorating exercise session. Whether it's a game of fetch, a stimulating walk through the beautiful ranch, or simply enjoying some quality cuddle time with our dedicated staff, we ensure each dog receives the attention and playtime they deserve.

If your dog thrives in the company of other canines, we can arrange supervised social time with our friendly resident dogs, fostering a sense of camaraderie and playfulness. After a fulfilling morning, our furry guests enjoy a nutritious snack and a relaxing nap. The afternoon brings more opportunities for socialization, refreshing exercise, and the comfort of our loving care regime.

Experience the Country Life Difference

It's our passion to provide a nurturing and enriching environment where your dog can truly enjoy their stay. We believe that a healthy and happy dog is a testament to our dedication and the love we pour into every aspect of our services. Committed to exceeding expectations, we invite you to experience the Country Life Kennels difference.
