How the stay works

Cage-free means dogs spend the day in shared living space rather than latched in a kennel run. For a dog used to sleeping on the couch at home, that is usually an easier adjustment than a traditional facility. Boarding here goes by the name The Bungalow.

Dogs eat their own food from home, which keeps stomachs settled during a trip. Taste of the Wild is stocked in-house if an owner needs it. First-time clients start with a complimentary meet-and-greet, so the dog sees the place and the people before drop-off day.

Practical details

Booking is handled online, and questions can go to (316) 288-0016 or through blueskiespetcare.com. Vaccinations are required for every dog. Households sending more than one dog receive a 28% multi-pet discount. Pickup and drop-off can be arranged, which helps when a flight time doesn't line up with a handoff.

Training and grooming run through the same team, so a dog staying for a week can go home clean without a second appointment somewhere else.
