About Us

Krista & Darren Watson, Owners

Welcome to 4 Paws Pet Lodge! We are a family-owned and operated business that has been serving pet owners for over 25 years. Darren and Krista Watson, proud owners of the lodge, will soon be celebrating their 10th anniversary in January 2024.

Located on a beautiful 80-acres of land, our pet lodge not only provides a safe and comfortable place for your furry friends but is also home to horses, goats, chickens, and of course, our beloved family dogs and cats.

At 4 Paws Pet Lodge, we prioritize the health and well-being of your pets and believe in providing a clean and hygienic environment for every pet in our care. That's why we use a non-toxic, non-scented peroxide-based cleaner that is approved by veterinarians.

Our team is passionate about what we do, and offering our pet care services to Lakefield and the surrounding area is not only our dream job, but our dream come true. We are dedicated to providing exceptional care and creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners.

It is our commitment to excellence that has earned us the Reader's Choice Award for Best Kennel since 2020.

We look forward to welcoming your fur family members to The Lodge in the near future!
