After carefully analyzing material and operating costs, we have decided to raise or rates for pet services to ensure that we can continue to provide the quality of care you have come to know and trust. We have made every effort to ensure that this price increase is kept to a minimum.
Thank you for your continued support through this change, we are honored to care for your beloved pets while you are away.
Please have your vaccine records up to date and recorded prior to your pet's stay to avoid cancelation of your appointment.
Please report any pet health issues to our staff such as lumps, sprains, scratches...Ect.
Our dog boarding accommodations are designed to ensure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and properly stimulated throughout their stay. Every dog enjoys a large private run equipped with cozy bedding, and food and water bowls. Chew toys and treats are available upon request, and we offer Kongs and puzzle bowls for pups who benefit from a midday brain teaser.
Each boarding kennel features a spacious 4 ft x 16 ft indoor–outdoor run. The outdoor portion is fully covered to keep dogs protected from the elements, and our building is heated and air‑conditioned for year‑round comfort. The outdoor areas allow for social interaction without physical integration, giving dogs the chance to enjoy high‑energy play while staying safe. Indoors, each suite has solid side walls for privacy and quiet, with a chain‑link front for visibility and airflow. Every dog has access to their own outdoor run for 12 hours a day.
Multiple dogs from the same household may share a space if they’re comfortable snuggling and playing together day and night. We can separate them during meals; we simply ask that they be on the same diet to help prevent any gastrointestinal issues while boarding.
The multidog discount for dogs sharing a space is $60 per day, per pet.
All bedding is supplied by us, whether your pampered pup likes an orthopedic bed with extra blankets or a raised Kuranda cot to help keep them cool. We work with bedding chewers to make sure they have the most bedding they can while avoiding ingestion. Let us know at check in what your pet prefers, and if they typically chew bedding.
Toys and treats are always welcome! To assure pet safety, balls and toys smaller than a tennis ball are discouraged. We supply Nyla bones and stuffed Kongs with your food by request.
Anything filled with beans or squeakers should be left at home.

Please bring your dog’s food in large zip‑top bags. Because our storage space is limited, we ask that you leave large food tubs at home. We have refrigerators and freezers available to keep food fresh. Glass containers are prohibited.
Your dog will be fed according to your schedule and instructions, and pets can be fed up to three times per day. Make note of the brand and flavor of food that your pet eats at home so that we can ensure the health and wellbeing of other pets with food allergies. We will ask you this information at check in.
We recommend packing an extra serving or two in case your pet’s stay is unexpectedly extended.
For families boarding multiple dogs in the same run, we ask that all pets be on the same diet to help prevent any gastrointestinal upset during their stay.

We have pill pockets, peanut butter and cheese to help your pet take their medication. If they are picky, please bring their favorite pill “snack”, we have done everything from buttered bread to marshmallows for our pups at camp!
Injectables are prohibited.


We provide personalized solo playtime, giving each dog their own safe, stress‑free space to play, explore, and enjoy one‑on‑one attention with one of our experienced dog walkers. Our large, fenced grass fields provide ample space to snoop, run, play and get lots of extra snuggles.
We also offer leash walks by request for dogs who enjoy a calm, structured outing.
