DOG BOARDING NEAR ST. CLOUD, MN
Dog boarding near St. Cloud, MN. A level of care most local facilities can’t match.
St. Cloud has boarding options. But 24/7 awake overnight staff, complimentary daycare included with every stay, and a certified behavior specialist on site are things most local facilities simply can’t offer. Country Pup Kennel is 35 minutes away in Princeton — and for St. Cloud families who’ve made the drive, it becomes the only option they’ll consider.

WHY ST. CLOUD FAMILIES CHOOSE CPK
St. Cloud has good boarding facilities. Here’s what makes CPK different.
We won’t pretend St. Cloud doesn’t have boarding options — it does. But 24/7 awake overnight staff — real people actively on site all night, every night — is something most facilities don’t offer. NC’s Doghouse has 32 years of experience. Granite City Pet Hospital has vet supervision. Both are worth considering. But neither includes complimentary full-day daycare with every boarding stay. Neither has Sarah Bostock on staff for training. And neither has 35 acres, a negative pressure isolation room, and live kennel cameras.
For St. Cloud families who want the best — the 35 minute drive to CPK is worth it.
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 St. Cloud 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 — included because that’s the right way to board a dog.
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
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 — included because that’s the right way to board a dog.
THE DRIVE FROM ST. CLOUD
35 minutes east. Worth it for the right facility.

“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.”
