Leaving your beloved pet behind can be difficult, which is why we go above and beyond to create a seamless, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Our luxury boarding experience is designed to feel like a home away from home, where your pet receives personalized care, attention, and all the comforts they deserve.
Thoughtful Boarding Designed Around Your Dog
Every detail of your dog’s stay is tailored to their well-being; from customizable feeding schedules to early morning and late-night potty breaks. Our nightly rate includes enrichment daycare, giving dogs the right balance of social play, mental stimulation, and restful downtime in a low-stress environment.
Each guest enjoys a full day of supervised play, rest, and socialization in comfortable dog suites designed for relaxation. Check-out time is 1:00 PM Monday–Saturday, with a small fee for later pick-ups, while Sunday departures offer added flexibility at no extra charge.
For your pet’s health, we recommend bringing pre-portioned meals in sealed bags to help prevent digestive upset. A specialized gastrointestinal diet is available if needed. Our team can also administer medications with care, just keep them in their original containers and separate from food.
