Dog Boarding: A Vacation for Your Pup
While you’re on vacation, why not send your pup on a fun-filled vacation of their own? Our dog boarding “sleepovers” are designed to provide the same love, care, and routine they are used to at home. We have options to suit every canine personality, from playful puppies to senior dogs. As a precautionary and safety measure, we require our canine guests to be current on the following vaccines: Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Parvovirus), Bordetella (kennel cough), Canine Influenza.
Fun & Enrichment
Your dog can enjoy a fun-filled stay with a variety of add-on treats and customized playtime sessions.
Comfort for All
Our climate-controlled boarding facility is perfect for every guest, whether they are running around with new dog friends or enjoying some relaxing downtime in their private room.
Flexible "Sleepovers"
Enjoy your late-night out without worrying about walks or pickups. Just leave their meals and care to us, and you can pick up your happy pup the next day.
Cat Boarding: A Peaceful, Private Cattery
We understand that cats need a calm and secure environment. Our dedicated cattery provides a quiet, peaceful space for your feline friend to nap, relax, and feel secure. To keep all our guests safe we require our feline guests to be current on Rabies and FVRCP vaccines.
Stress-Free Zone
Our cat accommodations are completely separated from the dog areas and feature sound-proofed walls to ensure a tranquil, bark-free home away from home.
Room with a View
