We have several exercise options available for your pet
- Doggie Daycare: Perfect for high energy dogs, large and small, that love the company of other dogs and humans. Your dog will be kept busy all day long with at least three hours of playtime throughout the day. The Price is $22/day in addition to the boarding rate. A half day is $18. (contract)
- Single Play Session: Great for dogs that are social but don't have a lot of energy or are new to the concept of doggy daycare. This 45 minute play session will give your dog a chance to interact with others in our 50 ft. fenced-in play area and will leave him with enough rest time or alone time for the remainder of the day. (contract)
- Play yard time: Your dog will have 10 min. to romp around our outdoor fenced-in, play area. You have the option of having individual playyards or "family" playayrds. The price is $6/session/dog.
- Walk with a caregiver: For dogs that enjoy that one on one time with a person the best option is this 10 min. walk around the property. This option is great for older arthritic dogs to help keep those joints moving. The price is $6/session.
Bedding
We do provide your pet with bedding, but of course you are welcome to bring your own if you would prefer. Your bedding should be machine washable and something that you wouldn't miss if your pet decides to entertain himself by chewing it up.
Toys & Treats
We certainly understand if you would like to bring a couple of comfort items from home. The only items we will not allow are those that are a potential choking hazard such as greenies.
Feeding
Iams pet food, an extremely high quality brand, is generally fed to all animals. Owners may prefer to bring their own pet food at an additional cost of $1 extra per day.

Dogs are required to have Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines. Cats are required to have Rabies and Distemper vaccines.
