  • ​We will not accept guests with aggression issues!!  If your dog bites, we cannot have them at our facility. NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • No compulsive non-stop barkers.  All dogs bark when new guests come in as well as during play time.  This is expected.  However, dogs that are so anxious and nervous that they can only get relief through barking consistently is not a good fit.  It isn't a good situation for them, our other guests or us.  We strive to keep our facility as relaxing and fun as possible.

  • Guests showing signs of illness or parasites (at the discretion of the facility owner to protect the safety of our other guests) will not be allowed.

What to Bring:

  • Pets own food if you choose, otherwise they will be fed our house cuisine ($1/cup).
  • A blanket or toy from home often times is comforting to them during their stay.  We have beds, bowls, blankets and toys so it is not a requirement. 
  • ​Proof of current immunizations from your vet. These are a must!!  For the safety of our other guests we will not make exceptions.  We are happy to call your Veterinarian for you to confirm current vaccinations. 
  • ​Rabies
    Distemper/Parvo
    Kennel Cough / Bordetella
  • Both the Agreement Contract and Guest Profile filled out.  Links are provided below to help expedite the check-in process.  We are also happy to email or mail them to you in advance.  Otherwise we have them here to fill out at check-in. 

Final Notes:

  • ​We implemented an online booking system in 2022 for your convenience.  However, it is only available to our current customers.  Once your pet has stayed with us or been approved through a meet/greet, you will have full access to the online features. 
  • Collars:  We often remove collars for the safety of the dogs as they are playing.  We also have customers with tracking devices attached to the collars so this prevents damage to the device and another dog if it comes off during play and is ingested. 
  • We require the Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine. However it does not prevent all strains of the virus and/or canine influenza.  We use disinfectants on beds, bowls and kennel floors.  Will immediately isolate any pup showing symptoms and reach out to owner for someone to pick up.   It is like kids going to daycare/school, the best prevention is keeping them home if they don't feel good but occasionally regardless of our best intentions someone may come down with an upper respiratory  "bug".  Understand that this is the risk of dogs interacting and playing with each other.  See link explaining the Bordetella virus, vaccine and risk involved.  Bordetella (kennel cough) or consult with your personal veterinarian.
  • A run down of our schedule on a daily basis involves dogs going outside between 6-6:30 am.  They come in and have breakfast with a short potty break afterwards.  They rest for a bit after breakfast and then our day progresses with several play sessions out in the yard.  The pups stay busy for most of the day with the exception of an hour long break mid day depending on our other check-ins and check outs, usually around noon when everyone is kenneled and the lights turned off for nap time.   They spend the rest of the afternoon playing with others until dinner time around 5-5:30.  They go outside for a final potty break between 8-9pm before settling for the night.  Overhead lights are off with a few lamps left on and the radio playing in the background. 


When you arrive, you are welcome to walk your dog around on a leash outside the building but please do not let them out of your vehicle to have free run of our property.  In addition to the kennel, we keep a herd of Boer goats protected by livestock guardian dogs.  Your dog(s) running freely may result in them chasing the goats and upsetting the working dogs trained to protect them.  Sadly this has happened more than once with owners not being able to call their dogs away from the goats.  Once they find the goats will run when chased it becomes a game and hard to get control of; therefore prevention is our best option.  Thank you in advance for your understanding.
