How dogs spend the day

Indoor play areas and large, fully fenced outdoor exercise areas give dogs room to move, with off-leash time three times a day. Play runs in groups or one-on-one, depending on what a dog handles best. A stay can also include extra walks, outside play time, treadmill work, and cuddle time. Bedtime comes with a premium snack. Webcam access lets owners look in on what is happening.

Comfort and feeding

Climate control keeps the indoor spaces steady through Connecticut summers and winters, which matters for flat-faced breeds, seniors, and heavy-coated dogs. Owners whose dogs are on a special diet can have that diet followed during the stay, so a boarding trip does not force a sudden food change. Pickup and drop-off is available for people who cannot make the trip themselves.

Practical details

The kennel is open 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, and 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM on Sunday. Booking is by phone at (860) 289-1509. Proof of vaccination is required before a dog can board or attend daycare, so it is worth having records ready when calling. More information is at valleyboardingkennel.com, and questions can go to valleybk@yahoo.com. Because Sunday hours are short, owners planning a weekend return should confirm the pickup window when they reserve.
