Doolin Acres Kennel

Doolin Acres Kennel is a traditional dog boarding kennel at 4916 S. Nelson Rd. in Orfordville, WI, with private suites and cottages for dogs staying overnight. Each suite is an indoor/outdoor run with solid walls on both the indoor and outdoor sides, so each dog has its own quiet space. Cottages are the other option for owners who want a roomier setup.

What a stay includes

Dogs get access to the exercise yards four to five times a day, which covers potty breaks and time to stretch out. Access to the outdoor portion of the suite gives them a change of scenery between yard trips. Food, water bowls, and a daily treat are part of the rate. The kennel keeps a daily report on each dog and sends it home at pickup. Owners who want more attention can add one-on-one sessions in 15-minute blocks.

• Cottages for boarding
• Exercise yard access four to five times per day
• Daily reports sent home
• Medication administered during a stay

What sets it apart

Solid-wall suites are the main difference from a typical open-run kennel. The walls and private outdoor access suit dogs that settle better with a space of their own. Dogs that need medication can still board, since the kennel administers it during the stay. Holiday boarding is available as well, which helps when travel plans fall over a long weekend.

Rates and booking

Published nightly rates range from $35 to $50, depending on the accommodation. Booking is by phone at 608-921-4364, and the kennel can also be reached by email at [email protected]. The address is 4916 S. Nelson Rd., Orfordville, WI 53576, and more detail is posted at doolinacreskennel.com.
