Rainbow Paws Boarding Kennels

Rainbow Paws Boarding Kennels provides dog boarding and daycare in Leesville, Louisiana, at 1331 Chaffee Rd. The kennel is small on purpose, with room for 16 pets at a time, so dogs get attention instead of a crowd.

What the kennel offers

• Overnight boarding and day-only boarding for dogs
• Climate-controlled kennels under a heavy-duty canopy cover
• Box fans and summer air coolers for extra airflow
• A 16x24 covered play yard with Tuff Turf, two summer swimming pools, and a toy box
• Feeding stations in every kennel, with fresh water available at all times

What makes it different

Playtime here is individual. Each pet gets one-on-one time in the play yard, which suits dogs that do better away from group play. The play area is covered, so shade and rain are less of an issue in summer.

Owners can bring their dog's own food, bedding, and toys. Keeping a dog on its regular diet matters for sensitive stomachs, and the kennel accommodates special diets. Familiar bedding tends to help dogs settle in faster during a first night away from home.

Practical details

The kennel is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Booking is by phone at 337-392-2731 rather than an online form, so owners call ahead to check availability. Published rates run from $15 to $35 per day. More details are on the kennel's website at rainbowpawskennels.com.

The scale here is closer to a home setup than a large commercial facility, which can matter for dogs that find big kennels stressful.
