Arch City Dog Boarding

Arch City Dog Boarding handles dog boarding in Saint Louis, MO, from a small facility at 6256 Gravois Ave. Groups are kept small, at roughly 12 to 15 dogs at a time. The owner lives on site, so dogs are not left alone overnight, and the facility is supervised around the clock.

What a stay looks like

Dogs are grouped by age, play style, size, and temperament rather than turned loose in one big pack. Boarding is cage-free, with indoor play space and outdoor space, and staff can administer medication for dogs who need it.

• Cage-free boarding with indoor play space and outdoor areas
• 24/7 supervision, with the owner living on site
• Play groups sorted by age, size, play style, and temperament
• Medication administration
• Enrichment sessions with a team member (Furever Fun) and photo updates (Puparazzi)

What sets it apart

The team is trained in first aid and CPR and in reading dog body language, and every dog is covered by insurance. Arch City is a member of the International Boarding and Pet Services Association. New clients get a free first meet-and-greet evaluation, so an owner can see the space and watch how their dog settles in before committing to a stay.
