What's on site

• Over 4,400 square feet of play area, including a wading pool

• On-site veterinary care
• Group play with toys, plus private areas for dogs that don't socialize well
• Beds and toys provided

What sets it apart

Veterinary care on the property is the clearest difference from a standard boarding run. The cage-free setup means dogs spend time in group play with toys instead of sitting behind a door all day, and there are private areas for dogs that would rather skip the crowd. For a dog used to yard time at home, the outdoor play area is the other draw, at more than 4,400 square feet with a wading pool. The kennel's own site leans on the idea that boarding shouldn't feel like being locked away, and the amenities line up with that.
