DOG BOARDING NEAR CAMBRIDGE, MN
Dog boarding near Cambridge, MN. What the best local facilities can’t offer.
Cambridge has good options for dog boarding. But good and great aren’t the same thing. Country Pup Kennel is about 25 minutes away in Princeton — with 24/7 awake overnight staff, complimentary daycare with every boarding stay, and a level of care that’s genuinely hard to find anywhere in the region.

WHY CAMBRIDGE FAMILIES CHOOSE CPK
Cambridge has boarding options. Here’s what sets CPK apart.
Cambridge has boarding facilities worth considering. We’re not going to tell you otherwise. But 24/7 awake overnight staff — real people actively on site all night, every night — is something most facilities simply don’t offer. Neither is complimentary full-day daycare included with every boarding stay. Or a medical-grade negative pressure isolation room. Or vet students and techs available for training alongside your dog’s boarding stay.
Country Pup Kennel is about 25 minutes west on Hwy 95. For Cambridge families who’ve made the drive, it becomes the only place they’ll bring their dog.
24/7 Awake Staff
Someone is always here. Always active. Always monitoring. Your dog is never alone at night — not in a locked building with a motion sensor, but with real people on site all night every night. Most boarding facilities in the Cambridge area don’t offer this. CPK does.
Complimentary Daycare Included
Every boarding stay includes full-day daycare at no extra charge. Your dog isn’t sitting in a kennel waiting for you to come back. They’re playing, socializing, and having a genuinely great day — and you’re not paying extra for it.
Live Kennel Cameras
Check in on your dog anytime from your phone. See them in their suite, during rest time, overnight. Peace of mind from wherever you are.
Negative Pressure Isolation Room
A medical-grade isolation room for any dog showing signs of illness. Most boarding facilities — including most in the Elk River area — don’t have one. CPK built one because your dog’s health matters.

Don’t take our word for it.
★★★★★
“My two puppies just spent 10 days at Country Pup Kennel and I would not bring my dogs anywhere else. Both dogs came home happy, healthy and did not want to leave when I came to pick them up. The drive from Minneapolis was super easy.”

★★★★★
“Absolutely amazing facility! Definitely need to come see for yourself because we started with a tour, and that sold us instantly. It’s so clean and the owners are hands on. So great to see them care so much about the health and safety of our dogs while we are gone.”
