🐶 Overnight 🐕 Boarding


Need to Head Out of Town?

Let us love your dog while you’re away! When your dog stays the night or for a vacation they get ample 1:1 time with our human caretakers every day plus you have the peace of mind of knowing that they’re in a safe, clean and loving environment. All areas are cleaned daily and more when needed. Our indoor facilities are climate controlled with heat and air conditioning.

Practice makes progress

We highly recommend that your dog join us for a complimentary 2 hour boarding trial prior to overnight boarding. This gives your pup a chance to become familiar and comfortable with us, their new environment, and the routine before their stay.

Trial visits also help us get to know your dog’s personality, preferences, and needs so we can provide the best possible boarding experience. If any concerns arise, we’ll have time to discuss them together and create a plan that sets everyone up for success.

To help ensure a comfortable stay, boarding trials are required for all new senior dogs and for seniors who have not stayed with us in over a year.

  • Your dog’s comfort is our top priority. If they suffer from separation anxiety, let’s talk about how we can best help. Whether that’s a ½ day trial, overnight trials, meet and greet, or a combination of options. We prefer to engage our dogs first with puzzles, enrichment room, extra attention and play time. If you are still worried about your dog’s anxiety while with us, we highly recommend talking to your veterinarian about different options they would suggest.

  • Your dog must:

    • Be at least 6 months or older for boarding

    • Be completely potty trained

      • We get accidents happen in new places, but they need to understand to go outside

      • There is an extra fee for excessive marking/accidents in their boarding kennel. This will be discussed if it happens

    • Not be an indoor marker. Marking outside is fair game, just not inside.

    • Be spayed/neutered after an appropriate time frame as recommended by your vet

      • Please let us know if there is a medical or other reason why your dog cannot be spayed/neutered

    • Have NO aggression towards people. No exceptions.

    • Fully up to date on required vaccinations

      • Vaccines must be given 14 days prior to your dog’s stay by a licensed veterinarian.

  • Due to insurance rules we are unable to accept the following dog breeds for day care and boarding: Akita, Cane Corso, Chow, Dalmatian, Doberman, Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Mixes, Rottweilers and any mixes of the listed breeds.

  • To keep our facility clean and comfortable for all guests, please make sure your dog is clean, dry, and free of any strong or unpleasant odors (including skunk) before drop-off.

    We understand that dogs love a good swim — especially in the lake! — but please ensure your pup is completely dry before arriving.

    If your dog arrives wet or with an odor, a bath and/or blow dry will be provided as needed, and an additional fee (including an expedited service charge) will apply. If staffing does not allow us to provide these services, your dog will need to be picked up and rescheduled.
