The Dog Yard

The Dog Yard is a dog boarding and daycare kennel in Monroe, Georgia, set on a 500-acre farm with fenced outdoor play yards and lake swimming. It takes small, medium, and large dogs, and overnight stays are available 365 days a year.

What boarding looks like

Every boarding guest gets an individual kennel with a bed and fresh water, and dogs stay in the same kennel for the length of their visit. Keeping one kennel is a small detail, but it gives a nervous dog one place to settle instead of a new spot every evening. Dogs are fed twice daily, kennels are cleaned every day, and staff are on site around the clock. Private suites are available for dogs who do better with their own space.

Services beyond overnight stays

• Daycare with supervised outdoor play
• Training programs
• Grooming, including nail trims and baths
• Pickup and drop-off
• Medication administration for dogs who need it

One-on-one fetch time can be added for dogs who want more attention than a group yard gives them. Boarding, daycare, and training run out of the same property, so a dog moving between services stays somewhere familiar. The farm is the real difference here: room to run and water to swim in, rather than an indoor play floor. Monroe sits outside Atlanta, so dogs used to city walks get a change of pace.

The Dog Yard is open 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, seven days a week. Booking is online, and vaccinations are required for every dog. Published rates run from $45 to $165 per night.
