Space to Run, Care You Can Trust
Boarding guests at the Hyline Hotel for Dogs have the most fun.
Proudly serving families throughout Bellingham, Lynden, and Whatcom County, our 12-acre farm provides a safe, structured, and enriching environment unlike any traditional kennel.
Whether your dog loves social play or prefers quieter one-on-one time, every guest enjoys personalized care, professional supervision, and plenty of room to romp.
A Boarding Experience Built Around Exercise & Structure
An important part of a healthy, balanced dog is exercise and socialization. That’s why our boarding guests are out in our fields at least four times a day, enjoying structured play sessions between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
We keep all playgroups small and safe:
- Groups are always under 10 dogs.
- Most groups range between 3–6 dogs.
- Dogs are carefully matched based on comfort and temperament.
- Playgroups are monitored 100% of the time by professional dog handlers.
If your pup prefers people over playmates, we happily provide extra one-on-one field time so they can enjoy the space comfortably.
We never place dogs in groups where they feel uneasy — their confidence and wellbeing come first.

Boarding Policies & Important Information
Check-In & Check-Out Hours
We offer two daily office windows for boarding drop-off and pick-up:
Monday–Friday: 8-10 a.m. and 3-6 p.m.
Saturday–Sunday: 8-11 a.m.
Hotel-Style Pricing Structure
We charge similarly to a hotel, with late checkouts resulting in an additional fee.
The first day of boarding is always charged, regardless of drop-off time.
If your dog is picked up during our morning office hours, there is no charge for that day.
If your dog remains until our afternoon office hours, a $41 afternoon checkout charge applies.
An additional $25 fee applies for services provided outside of business hours. Our guests need proper downtime, and our team requires time to clean and maintain kennels to ensure a happy, stress-free stay.
