20+ years of experience & care in dog & cat boarding.

"Among the things in life I am thankful for the most, is the love I have for animals. My heart would be emptier and life would be less without them."

The Dog Daycare Days

Every dog enjoys daycare in their own way. Some guests love to run, socialize, play, and explore spacious runs, while others, including our senior guests, may prefer a slower pace with extra time to relax or enjoy a walk. Our daycare experience combines supervised outdoor fun, fresh country air, and personalized care so every dog can have a comfortable, happy day, with exercise and enrichment included at no additional cost. 

Choose from multiple convenient pick up/drop off's times.

Want to pamper with brushing and bathing? A simple add on our app.

The Dog Boarding Retreat

Custom-designed X-Large suites feature air conditioning, heated floors, and a thoughtfully designed low-stress environment created for your dog’s comfort. With only 24 suites positioned to minimize visual stress between guests, we provide specialized care, personalized attention, and plenty of outdoor time for every stay. Because comfort matters even at bedtime, our guests enjoy one last outdoor opportunity in the evening before resting for the night.

 

Need accommodation for pick up; easily add on a daycare day for a reduced cost.

The Calm Cat Boarding Retreat

A retreat designed for your cat’s comfort in mind. We go above and beyond to meet your cat’s true needs, offering cozy beds, soft blankets, toys, cat trees, and purple-themed rooms that help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Each cat receives one-on-one attention through play, affection, cuddles, and companionship tailored to what makes them feel most comfortable. For longer stays, cats can enjoy exploration areas and continued enrichment. Rabbits are also welcome!

 

*Coming September: Each cat will have their own window view to enjoy the sights and stimulation of the outdoors.
