Pet Boarding
Our boarding accommodations provide individualized spaces for dogs and cats with daily exercise, feeding, and monitoring. Canine guests enjoy multiple suite sizes, while feline guests stay in Kitty City condos with climbing perches. All pets receive personalized care plans, including medication administration and behavioral support. Luxury suites feature 24/7 webcam access and en-suite TVs for enhanced comfort.
Daycare Services
Structured daycare programs include group play, individual activities, and specialized mini-groups for socialization. Dogs pass temperament tests before joining play sessions divided by size and behavior. Our 15:1 staff ratio ensures safety, with 6 wooded acres for outdoor activities. Services include off-leash play, nature hikes, and enrichment activities tailored to each dog's energy level and preferences.
Pet Spa
The pet spa offers full grooming services, including baths, conditioning, and nail care by certified specialists. Additional treatments like relaxation massages and luxury upgrades (e.g., whitening shampoo, paw balm) enhance comfort. Services are designed to reduce stress while maintaining hygiene, with specialized attention to coat types and skin sensitivities for a refreshed, relaxed pet.
K9 Enrichment
Custom enrichment programs stimulate physical and mental development through activities like agility courses, scent trails, and food puzzles. Sessions range from 30-minute flirt pole play to 60-minute treasure hunts, catering to different energy levels. The program reduces stress in boarding pets while strengthening owner-pet bonds through interactive learning and instinct-driven play experiences.
Training Programs
Professional training includes puppy socialization, obedience classes, and intensive board-and-train bootcamps. Certified trainers use positive reinforcement for skills like leash manners and recall. Day school programs focus on basic commands, while refresher courses reinforce existing training. Each program includes progress reports and homework to ensure consistent learning between sessions for long-term behavioral improvement.
