The Northland Standard
"We believe the rugged beauty of Duluth shouldn't be a compromise for luxury care."
Founded in 2012 by a team of wilderness enthusiasts and pet care specialists, Northland Boarding was born from a simple observation: pets deserve the same level of architectural beauty and environmental wellness as their owners.
Our facility is integrated into the natural topography of the North Shore, utilizing sustainable heating and cooling systems to provide a climate that mirrors the invigorating lake breeze of Gitchigami.
