Doggone Nuts! LLC

Doggone Nuts! LLC offers cage-free dog boarding and daycare in Boise, Idaho, hosting dogs in a private home rather than a kennel building. Only a few boarding clients are accepted at a time, which keeps supervision close and interaction steady through the day.

Services

Overnight boarding is the core service, with daycare available for owners who need coverage during a workday. Grooming is offered as well, so dogs can go home clean. There is indoor play space, so weather does not end the fun.

• Cage-free overnight boarding in a home setting
• Dog daycare and playcare
• Indoor play space
• Grooming
• Playtime with other dogs, toys, and retrieving

What sets it apart

The short guest list is the whole idea. Dogs get unlimited chances to run, chase toys, and retrieve, and there is a plush dog bed by the fire for the ones who would rather nap than play another round of fetch. Owners get a "While You Were Away Report" describing what their dog has been up to, which matters for anyone who spends a vacation wondering. The care is described as spa-like, handled by an experienced dog handler, and it suits dogs who do poorly in a row of runs.

Rates and booking

Published rates run from $20 to $40 per night, according to the kennel's own website. Reservations are arranged by email at doggonenuts@gmail.com, and details are posted at doggonenuts.com. Because so few dogs are taken at once, reaching out well before a trip is the practical move. Owners with a nervous dog, a senior, or a puppy that needs frequent checking will find the small-group format easier to work with than a large facility, since one person is watching the whole group rather than rotating through rooms.
