Pet Paradise

Pet Paradise is a dog boarding and daycare facility on 57 acres of tree- and grass-covered grounds at 64155 N Highway 97 in Bend, Oregon. The facility takes small, medium, and large dogs for overnight stays or single days of play. Dogs spend their time in cage-free group play areas rather than sitting in a run all day.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in climate-controlled private suites
• Daycare with 2–6 hours of supervised playtime each day, at no extra charge
• Separate play areas grouped by size, temperament, and play style
• Full-service bathing with de-shedding, nail trims, and teeth brushing
• An indoor/outdoor playground set aside for small dogs

What makes it different

The grounds are the main draw. Dogs are sorted into play groups by size, temperament, and how they like to play, so a quiet senior isn't stuck with a pack of adolescents. Older dogs get a shaded area of their own, and small dogs have a playground built to their scale. Suites are climate-controlled, which matters in Bend, and the floors and wall coverings are anti-microbial and sterilized daily. Playtime is included in the rate rather than billed as an add-on. Consumer Business Review named Pet Paradise its Kennel of the Year.
