What makes it different

Dogs get outdoor time in an enclosed 1,500 square foot yard surfaced with K9-Grass, and a covered 350 square foot area keeps the outside usable when the weather turns. Indoor rooms are climate controlled, and private suites are available for dogs who do better with their own space. The "Takin' it Easy" lounge gives older, smaller, or shy dogs somewhere quieter to spend part of the day.

A one-on-one program called "Spark Time" sets aside individual attention with a staff member, which suits dogs who want more than group play. Cats board in their own room, on the separate side of the operation, in multi-level condos and pods.
