⚠️ Important Pickup Policy
Boarding pickup is by 5:00 PM; pickups after 5:00 PM roll into an additional night at your dog's nightly rate. Your pet has received a full day of care including feeding, potty breaks, enrichment activities, and playtime.
Boarding with a built-in fitness routine. Your dog gets two treadmill sessions every day, plus balance exercises and confidence-building work between sessions. Great for high-energy dogs and dogs whose owners want them coming home better than they left. Recommended for healthy adult dogs — if your dog is a senior or has an injury or mobility concern, talk to us before booking.
Holidays are our busiest weeks of the year, and spots fill fast — reserve early. During holiday periods our standard nightly rates are replaced with holiday rates: standard kennel $60/night (regular $55) and deluxe kennel — 5 ft × 5 ft with an indoor/outdoor doggy door — $65/night (regular $60). Holiday rates apply to stays touching Labor Day (Sep 4-7, 2026), Thanksgiving (Nov 25-29, 2026), Christmas & New Year's (Dec 23, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), Memorial Day (May 28-31, 2027), and Independence Day (Jul 2-5, 2027). Same care, same routine, same comfortable accommodations — these are simply the weeks everyone wants at once. Book through our online portal and the correct holiday rate is applied automatically.
