What services are on offer?

Boarding and daycare are the core of the business, and grooming and training happen in the same building.

• Overnight boarding in private, climate-controlled suites
• Day boarding for dogs who prefer individual care
• Supervised indoor and outdoor group play
• Dog grooming and dog training

What a stay looks like

Play groups are supervised, and dogs get time both inside and out in the outdoor space. There is also an enrichment and adventure program for dogs who need mental work along with exercise. Day boarding leans toward individual attention, which suits dogs that would rather skip the group. Staff follow each dog's feeding schedule and handle special diets, and Wellness Pet food and treats are served here. Medication can be given during a stay if a dog needs it.
