Sleeping Arrangements (Dog Boarding) 🐶

We understand how important rest is, especially after a full day of play and socialization. That’s why we ensure all overnight buddies have a calm, safe space to recharge.

• Dogs are comfortably kenneled at night in their own individual space

• We provide crates of various sizes to fit all breeds

• Each space includes access to fresh water, food, and a quiet environment

• Soothing instrumental music is played to help promote relaxation

 

Suite Room Boarding (Crate-Free Option) ✨

We also offer Suite Room Boarding, a crate-free experience for pets who qualify. This option provides a more open, comfortable environment while still maintaining structure and safety.

Suite boarding is ideal for dogs who:

• Are comfortable in a crate-free setting

• Can settle and relax independently

• Do well in a calm, supervised environment

📌 A successful evaluation or trial is required before booking this option to ensure it’s the right fit for your pet.

 

If Your Dog Isn’t Crate Trained

No worries! After your pet’s evaluation, we’ll discuss the best approach based on their comfort and behavior. Many dogs adjust well, especially after a full day of activity, and come to enjoy having their own cozy space.

Please note:
If your pet has separation anxiety, staff members are not able to sleep in the same room overnight.

 

Safety & Monitoring

Your pet’s safety is always our top priority:

• Sleeping areas are monitored by security cameras

• Staff members are always on-site

• We maintain a secure, structured environment to ensure every pet is safe and comfortable
