Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in overnight pricing?

We provide three daily exercise periods. For dogs boarding individually, we provide 3 leash walks over our seven acres of land. Dogs boarding together enjoy outdoor playtime in our 15,000-square-foot yard. Any required medication administration is provided FREE of charge by trained staff.

Are there additional exercise options for my dog?

Yes! Additional a la carte exercise options can be added to your dogs stay as well.

  • All-day doggie daycare ($25/day)
  • Two extra walks along our private river trails ($10/day)
  • Individual or small group play time ($15/day)

What am I allowed to bring for my dog while they are boarding?

To help acclimate your dog to the kennel, we recommend bringing a blanket or bed from home that smells like you. You are welcome to bring toys and treats, but no raw hides, pig ears, etc. as these pose a choking hazard. If you plan on bringing food, please bag individual meals or place food in one big zip-lock bag so we can seal and store it properly. 

Does someone stay overnight with the dogs?

Most pet care facilities do not provide overnight staff. Our facility is equipped with video surveillance and protected by a central station fire alarm system at all times. In order to maintain a stress-free environment and promote a restful night, we do not have staff exploring the facility overnight. Most dogs are asleep before we lock up and we tend to wake them upon arrival in the morning. Our staff is here from approximately 6:15 AM to 9:00 PM.

My dog does not do well with other dogs, can I still board him/her?

Absolutely. As long as they are people friendly, we can still board them and they will receive personal one on one playtime and/or leash walks with our staff.
