A Typical Boarding Day for Dogs
Each morning, our canine boarders are escorted outside to enjoy a walk in the fresh air before breakfast. While out for their morning walk, their kennel is cleaned, disinfected, and stocked with fresh bedding.
Our canine boarders are walked four times daily to ensure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need to feel relaxed and well cared for.
Your dog will have supervision throughout their stay with us, both during walks and while they rest. In the evening, dinner is served, and then they have one last walk before bedtime.
A Typical Boarding Day for Cats
Your cat will be fed according to your specifications and their requirements, to ensure their routine is much the same as home.
Feline boarders receive lots of one-on-one interaction including play, snuggles, and pets. Litter boxes are checked, cleaned and disinfected periodically throughout the day.
Additionally, we refresh bedding and clean your kitty's space daily. Our cat boarding area is separated from the dog area to ensure your cat feels safe and relaxed while they're with us.

How should I prepare for my pet's stay?
Every pet is unique. To prepare for your dog or cat's stay with us, please take the following steps to ensure that it is a positive experience.
Step 1: Contact us to get started
Call us to book, and to discuss details about your pet and your boarding needs. A member of our team will be happy to coordinate your booking.
Please note that, due to the nature of our accommodations, we do not accept unaltered dogs. Pets must be up to date with all vaccinations and free of fleas and ticks to stay at our facility.
Step 2: Book a trial stay
We want to be absolutely sure that we are a good fit for your furry family member before an extended stay. The trial stay consists of a full day of daycare where we can take the time to assess your pet's temperament and make sure they fit in with the pack.
Step 3: Set your pet up for success
On the day you drop your dog or cat off with us, there are a few steps you can take to help reduce any stress your pet may feel.
Spend some extra time with your pet beforehand, and make sure they get some vigorous exercise so that they are feeling calm. When you arrive at our facility, stay calm, cheerful and confident during the separation.
