What makes it different

Petopia runs one of the bigger playgroups in town, with rest breaks built into the day so dogs are not going nonstop from drop-off to pickup. That setup suits social dogs who would rather be with a group than parked in a run by themselves. It is not the right fit for every dog, and the kennel says so plainly rather than taking all comers. Every new client goes through a mandatory trial day before daycare or boarding days are approved, which gives staff a read on how a dog handles the group and gives owners an honest answer before a holiday week.

Practical details

Boarding runs $23 to $33 per night based on pricing published on the kennel's own site. Discounts are available for families boarding more than one dog and for longer stays. Vaccinations are required. Grooming is handled on site and booked by appointment, so a dog can go home clean after a boarding stay.

Owners can reach Petopia at (701) 757-0104 or petopiagf@outlook.com, and the facility posts updates on its Facebook page. Anyone new to the facility should plan the trial day first, then book the actual stay once the dog has been cleared for the group.
