We offer the highest quality boarding and grooming facilities. Our professionally trained staff provides tender, loving care for your dog, cat, bird, or pocket pet. All boarding pets are kept in a completely controlled environment and all rooms are heated and air-conditioned. In addition, your pet will be protected against infectious diseases by our compulsory vaccination policy and will be monitored by our staff veterinarians. Your pet will be fed a premium, commercial diet and will be exercised in outdoor, covered runs. Dogs are exercised three times daily and your pet’s indoor quarters will be scientifically sanitized by our professional staff.

Check-in and Check-out
- Much like a hotel, we charge for the day a pet enters our facility. We have an 11:00a.m. check-out time.
- Pets discharged after the 11:00a.m. check-out time are charged for that day unless bathed or groomed that day.
Baths for Boarders
- We would like to send your pet home with you clean and fresh. We offer a bath at a discounted rate for boarders.
- If the bath is given on the check-out day, there will not be a boarding charge for that day.
- If the bath is given on a day other than the check-out day, there will be a charge for the bath and that same day of boarding.
- Baths are available every day of the week.
Blankets, Toys, etc.
- We have blankets and towels available for use by your pet.
- If we keep one of your blankets or towels, it may be misplaced in the laundry, so it must have your name written on it with an indelible pen.
- Toys also have the possibility of being misplaced.
Diets
- We provide top quality diets for our kennel friends, but we encourage you to bring our own food.
- If you choose to supply your own food, please bring only enough for your pet’s stay.
