Seward Dog Lodge

Tucked away in Seward, Alaska, Seward Dog Lodge offers a small, home-based alternative to large commercial kennels for travelers exploring the Kenai Peninsula. Owner Heidi has cared for dogs for over a decade, and her seasonal lodge (open May 17th through August 13th) gives dogs a calm, individualized place to stay while their humans head out on fishing charters or glacier tours. Each dog's care is tailored to their personality, with staff learning play style, feeding routines, and comfort needs through an intake form before arrival.

What Sets It Apart

Dogs are never forced into group play — some love making new friends, while others get quiet, one-on-one attention in their own space. All activity happens on secure, fully fenced property, and every kennel is climate controlled for year-round comfort.

Key Services & Amenities

• Day at the Lodge ($65, 6–9 hours) for standard daycare stays
• Extended Day at the Lodge ($80, 10–12 hours) for longer excursions like glacier tours
• Private kennel runs and small-dog condos for individualized rest space
• Secure, fully fenced outdoor play areas
• Multi-dog discounts for pups who can safely share a kennel

Booking is handled entirely online, with reservations required at least 24 hours in advance (48 hours for Sunday drop-offs). Overnight boarding is currently reserved for established clients only, making the daycare options the primary way new visitors experience the lodge. With flexible windows built around Seward's fishing and glacier-touring schedules, it's designed for dog owners who want peace of mind while making the most of their Alaska adventure.
