Overnight & Day Boarding

You choose their experience. We make it happen.

Extra services available during COVID-19

We are currently offering the following additional services to help provide needed options for the well-being care of our furry family members while we all continue social distancing.

Pets who need groomed or bathed at our facility can be picked up and delivered home by us on the day of their appointment, ensuring pets can be kept clean and comfortable during this time without owners needing to venture out. Pets can be picked up from a porch, yard, garage, etc and returned the same way to avoid any exposure to owners or our staff. Payment will be arranged over the phone to eliminate the need for signatures or handling of credit cards.
Although we hope no one has any pet medical emergencies during this period of time (or ever), we will safely transport any pet needing veterinary care to and from their vet's office. Same as the grooming arrangement above, pets can be picked up from an agreed location and payment arranged over the phone to avoid all contact between the owner and our driver.
If any local pet owners need pet food or other supplies, we will arrange to deliver it to your door step in a timely manner using the same methods as above.
Dayboarders may take advantage of same-day transportation to and from their home, utilizing the methods above.
For pets missing their own socialization and exercise due to owners cautiously avoiding the dog park, we are offering drop-in playtimes from 10am-4pm every day! Your dog can enjoy raucous fun running around with his friends for just $5 for every two hours. Let us know when you are on your way, and we will be ready to come collect your pup from the parking lot upon your arrival, and will return your pup to you in the parking lot in the safest manner possible.
The PetBus and PetPrius can be scheduled as general pet taxis to move pets from one home or location to another; for example, if you need your pet to go stay with a family member, we will gladly handle the transport of your pet to prevent you or the receiving party from needing to venture out. As with the travel options above, pets can be picked up from an agreed location and delivered using the same technique at the destination, with payment arranged over the phone to avoid all contact between owners and our driver.
For service at our facility, we ask that you call ahead to let us know you are on your way, and give us a call once you arrive. We will come out to collect your pet and any belongings, or bring your pet and their belongings out to your vehicle, while maintaining social distancing.

Please let us know if there is something we can do to help you that is not addressed above!
We are committed to helping our customers and our local community get through this together.

Overnight Boarding

Three daily turnout sessions: boarding dogs are taken out three times a day for a break in routine, fresh air and to use the bathroom.
Large, private, indoor / outdoor climate controlled runs for our canine guests.
Cats are provided individual cabanas with plenty of climbing room in a dedicated dog-free environment.
We provide all pets with soft, comfortable bedding. However, we can also often accommodate your pet's favorite bedding from home; such items must fit comfortably in our washing machine as-is, without needing to be taken apart. (If you have a large dog requiring special bedding or bowls due to a medical condition, please don't hesitate to let us know!)
We recommend that you bring your pet's food from home so that their diet is not changed while boarding with us. However, if you chose not to bring your pet’s food, we will serve them our premium house food at no additional charge.
Owners visiting the area and staying locally may arrange to come pick up their pets to go on a "field trip" most days between 10AM - 2PM.
We can accommodate special diet requirements and administer medications. Please discuss medication and special feeding needs with us in advance when making your reservation, and then just remember to bring the necessary items with your pet during check-in. *Although rare, a medical boarding fee may be applied in extreme situations requiring significant additional time or effort.

Individual, off-leash, 20-minute Playtime in our fenced dog playground gives your dog a chance to run, fetch, swim, play, and bond with one of our energetic pet care professionals.

Small group, off-leash, 20-minute Playtime is for our social guests. We will match your pup with other dogs of similar size and temperament, and supervise the new friends as they have fun together in our playground area.

A Kong® Break is a delicious and entertaining treat for your pet to enjoy while they're relaxing in their private run. We take a Kong® chew toy, sized specifically for your pet, and fill it with peanut butter, cheese, or biscuits.
