BOARDING SERVICE FOR DOGS,CATS & OTHER SMALL PETS
We have two separate facilities. One for doggies and the other for cats or other small pets. Both facilities have heat and air for comfort.
Sleeping quarters inside the dog facility for each doggie is a 5x5; with it's own doggie door with a 5x5 outside private space as well so your pet can enjoy the freedom of enjoying the outdoors as much as they desire. We do have two sleeping quarters that their outside private space is larger; one is a 10x10 and the other a 5x10. Even though your doggie will have it's own space we still rotate doggies into our run play lot so your doggie can run and stretch their legs.
On the boarding contract you get to choose whether or not your doggie can group play with others. Group play is designed for social dogs to group play and have fun. if your doggie doesn't do well with other dogs NO WORRIES.... your doggie will still have outdoor run time in the play lot by himself.
We also have several acres so we can walk your doggie. All of our fencing is 6 foot tall. Our facility has heat and air. Our facilities are monitored 24/7 by security cameras inside and outside of each facility every inch of our property has cameras and every gate is pad locked.
We offer Doggie Day Care with Group play or Non-Group play as well. $15.00 Per day. 7am-6pm
Doggie Day Care service is designed for social dogs to group play and have fun. Safety is our primary goal; therefore, day care is not for every dog. It is not a place for aggressive dogs to learn how to be social.
A temperament test or behavioral evaluation will be required to ensure all doggies are safe & social in our environment.
If your doggie will not participate in group play and you need Daycare NO WORRIES... we can do Doggie Daycare for your pet on a day others are not here.

We will provide a clean and healthy environment for your pet. Just to tell you a little about our cleaning routine. We clean daily. When your pet goes home the entire sleeping quarters as well as their private outdoor space is cleaned with KennelSol. KennelSol is the top rated germicidal deodorant & disinfectant. Is EPA registered and is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens including viruses such as Canine Parvovirus, Sars-CoV-2 bacteria, fungi, kennel cough, staph infection and E.Coli. We even spray the rocks. So when the next pet comes to board they will have 100% a clean space.
Feeding schedule: We feed between 6:30am -7:00am & 5:00pm-5:30 pm Although with that being said if these times do not align with your pets normal feeding schedule we will feed your pet per your instructions. We are here to accommodate your pets needs.

The Facility inside has fresh refinished floors; the kennel sleeping areas is 5x5 with secure metal panels that does have dividers in-between so the doggies cannot reach each other. These dividers are for safety so the doggies don't nip each other and also they give the doggies some private space.
Doggie Doors; so your doggie can enjoy the outside as much as they like plus the comfort of the cooled/heated inside facility. We do have runs with extra large Doggie doors for those bigger dogs. We can house any size dog from tiny to giant size doggies.

We have a total of 21 security cameras that literally covers every inch of our whole property. Including inside and outside.
We often get asked .. What happens when the power goes out? No worries on that if the power goes out our uninterruptible power ups battery backup for the cameras kicks in. That allows the cameras to even run when the power is out so we can still view and they are recording footage.
So why do we have so many security cameras???
We want you the pet owner to know safety of your pet(s) is our # 1 Concern. We want you the pet owner to know your pet(s) are safe and well cared for here but Also ....
We use security cameras for many other reasons such as..
They allow our staff to closely observe pet interactions.
Allows me to monitor staff.
Visible cameras deters potential intruders or criminal activity.
In case of any accidents or disputes we can view footage and resolve any issues.
And sometimes we capture those adorable pet moments that we we love to share with our clients.
WE HOPE THIS CAN GIVE YOU A PIECE OF MIND while your pet(s) are in our care.
