Personalized Care for Every Dog

- Monitoring throughout the night for safety and comfort
We proudly accommodate dogs with:
- Medical needs or medications
- Physical limitations or disabilities
- Senior care requirements
No additional fees are charged for special care needs.
Our Three Types of Dog Boarding Accommodations
We offer multiple boarding options to suit dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and preferences.
-
Home-Style Boarding Environment
Dogs enjoy large outdoor play runs during the day for exercise and stimulation. At night—or during inclement weather—they rest in spacious, secure crates located in a climate-controlled enclosed porch just outside our kitchen.
We actively monitor your dog overnight and provide bathroom breaks if needed.
-
In-Home Boarding for Small Dogs & Puppies
Small dogs and puppies stay inside our home, providing a quieter and more personal environment. They also have access to a separate, outdoor run away from larger dogs for added safety.
-
Indoor/Outdoor Boarding Runs
Our modern boarding facility includes indoor/outdoor runs that allow dogs to move freely between covered indoor spaces and outdoor areas during the day.
