What makes Camp K-9 different

The size cap is the clearest difference. Everything here is built around dogs under 35 pounds, from the play groups to the sleeping arrangements. Groups stay at eight dogs or fewer and are sorted by size and temperament, so a shy terrier isn't thrown in with a room full of strangers. The space is set up like a home rather than a run of cement floors, which is the kind of detail that matters when a dog is staying several nights. Suites can hold up to three small dogs from the same family, so littermates or housemates don't have to be split up.

Hours, rates, and booking

Camp K-9 is open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Boarding runs $65 per night. Before a dog's first overnight stay, the facility requires a Get to Know You Day, a one-time $15 charge, to check that the fit works both ways. Booking is done by phone rather than through an online form, so plan on calling ahead for holidays and busy stretches. The business posts on Facebook and Instagram, and its own site is campk-9.net.
