About Us

"Eastway Kennels....is part of my family !!! Since I was a little girl I have trusted the love and the care Eastway has given to my most loved poodles in my life. From Pixie to Pebbles + Bambi and now Holly + Sienna. They love their times there with playtime to cuddling with the amazing owners and staff. Life sometimes doesnt allow us to bring our " babies " with us.... so if you love your pets as much as I do.... then Eastway is the place. You can be sure to have peace within knowing they are being taken such good care."

Eastway Kennels is a family-run business in Orleans, Ontario, Canada. We built a brand-new fully air conditioned and heated facility in 1996 to better house and provide for our residents. We focus on the comfort and safety of your pet and provide both basic and premium boarding services, so you can meet your dog's or cat's individual needs.

We also have on-site grooming and training services to ensure that your pet makes the most of his or her stay. You can drop off your pet (or engage our pick up and delivery service) knowing that they're receiving the best care and attention we can provide. Whether it's grooming, medications, or just some extra play-time, we'll build the service package your pet needs to keep them (and you) happy.
