The Doghouse

The Doghouse is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 2845 Verot School Rd in Lafayette, LA, and it also offers grooming on site. It accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds up to giant ones, and all bookings are made by phone.

What are the boarding options?

Boarders stay in one of two kennel types. There are 14 luxury kennels and 33 standard kennels, and published rates run from $44 to $60 per night depending on which one you choose. Staff do a daily wellness check on every boarding dog. The kennels are climate controlled, which matters a lot during a hot Acadiana summer.

What will my dog do during the day?

Play is a big part of how The Doghouse runs. Dogs are sorted into playgroups by size, temperament, and age, so a small senior dog isn't thrown in with a crowd of young large dogs. There are three outdoor play areas surfaced with K-9 turf, plus indoor play space for bad-weather days.

Key services and amenities:

• Overnight boarding in luxury or standard kennels
• Dog daycare with playgroups sorted by size, temperament, and age
• On-site grooming
• Medication administration and special diets
• Webcam access

How do new dogs get started?

Every new dog gets a free evaluation and a free day of play. This gives owners a low-pressure way to see whether their dog settles in before booking a longer stay. Vaccinations are required, so have your dog's records ready before the first visit.

What are the practical details?

Curbside drop-off and pickup is available, so you can hand off your dog without leaving the car. Weekday hours are 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and Saturday hours are 7:00 AM to noon. Sunday hours are shorter than weekday hours, so it's worth calling ahead before planning a weekend pickup. To book or ask a question, call (337) 706-9001.
