What sets this place apart

Every dog goes through a temperament evaluation before joining play, so groups are put together deliberately rather than by chance. Boarding guests also get private outdoor playtime three times a day, which matters for dogs that do better away from a crowd. Staff are Pet First Aid Certified. Meals can be freshly steamed on site, or owners can send along their dog's usual food. Photo updates go home daily, so families who are traveling can see how the stay is going.

Practical details

The resort is open 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, seven days a week, which covers early drop-offs and late pickups around a work schedule. Boarding runs $30 to $70 per night according to the rates published on its website. Reservations are made online, and the facility can be reached at (951) 340-3649. Proof of vaccination is required before a stay. Indoor spaces are climate controlled, which is worth knowing during an Inland Empire summer.
