Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you’re not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Yuki boarded at Mari’s house and she had a great time. She loves running in the background. Thank you so much for taking good care of Yuki.

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Kristen took such great care of Mia while I was away for the weekend! Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Mia would love to stay with her again!

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

Dog Beach
Worth the walk, Sandpoint’s Dog Beach is where to take your pooch for some off-leash swimming! It can be tricky to find, but the hunt is part of the beach’s appeal. To find the beach, park at the north end of The Long Bridge (near the gas station) and walk south along the paved trail—known locally as the Long Bridge Pedestrian Bridge, denoted as the Serenity Lee Trail on Google Maps—about 5-10 minutes. The beach will be on your left.

Laughing Dog Brewing
At Laughing Dog Brewing, yellow lab Ben collaborates with owners, Fred and Michelle Colby, to create “Fetchingly Good Beer”. When Fred and Michelle toss around new beer ideas, Ben chimes in with one bark for “yes!” and two barks for “no!”. You can sample the fruits of Ben’s labor at Laughing Dog Brewing, where dogs are welcome on the patio. Humans will enjoy dog-themed beers—Devil Dog Double IPA, Alpha Dog Imperial IPA, and Rocket Dog Rye IPA—and food— the Big Dog Wood Fired Pretzel, Black Lab BLT, and Good Dog Flatbread!

Boating on Lake Pend Oreille
Bring your boat and your pup to Sandpoint, or rent a watercraft from the pet-friendly Sandpoint Marine & Motorsports. Lake Pend Oreille’s waters cover 148 square miles, making it the largest body of water in Idaho. Up to 1,150 feet deep in some places, Lake Pend Oreille is the fifth deepest lake in the United States! You and your furry boat buddy will enjoy scenic shoreline views of the Cabinet and Bitterroot mountains, swimming, and fishing for whitefish, trout, and salmon. Boating conditions can vary and change quickly, so know your comfort level, check local weather reports, and stay safe on the water!12
Pend D’Oreille Bay Trail
You and the pooch will love a shoreline walk along the Pend D’Oreille Bay Trail! From the trailhead next to the Sandpoint Water Treatment Plant, hike 1.5 miles along the shore of Lake Pend Oreille. The trail currently ends at a fence marking private property. Friends of Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, are working to extend the trail all the way to Kootenai. The existing 1.5 miles of trail pass through land that was purchased from a private landowner—with some funds raised by Friends of Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail and some contributed by the cities of Sandpoint and Ponderay. Joint ownership of the trail corridor by the cities of Sandpoint and Ponderay ensures it will remain permanently undeveloped and open to the public.
Mickinnick Trail
The 7-mile in-and-out hike at Mickinnick Trail gains over 2,000 feet in elevation in 3.5 miles, granting visitors spectacular views of Sandpoint, the Cabinet Mountains, and Lake Pend Oreille! The trail views are diverse, winding around rocky outcroppings, through meadows, and past old growth timber. The hike is strenuous, so plan accordingly and pack snacks and water for both you and your pooch!
