Services
Dog Boarding
Our dog boarding service offers spacious suites with Kuranda beds, supervised outdoor play, and secure enclosures. Pets enjoy climate-controlled comfort and daily disinfection. We cater to dietary needs and medication requirements, ensuring a stress-free stay. Our facility accommodates dogs of all sizes with personalized attention from experienced staff.
Cat Boarding
Specialized cat boarding provides quiet, secure environments with species-specific handling. Our trained staff understands feline behavior and territorial needs. Each cat receives individualized interaction while maintaining separation from other animals. Climate-controlled rooms and regular updates keep owners informed throughout their pet's stay.
Small Animal Boarding
We care for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals in customized enclosures. Owners must provide familiar food and bedding to maintain digestive health. Our staff ensures proper handling and monitoring for these sensitive creatures. Secure habitats prevent escape while allowing adequate movement and exploration during boarding periods.
Animal Nail Care
Professional nail trimming prevents health issues and protects home furnishings. Our technicians handle dogs, cats, and rabbits with care. We also offer winter pawdicures to remove excess foot hair that causes ice ball formation. Services are performed humanely with minimal stress to the animal.
Pet Grooming
Full-service grooming includes bathing, coat maintenance, and sanitary trimming. Our experienced groomers work with various breeds and temperaments. We use pet-safe products and maintain strict hygiene standards. Special attention is given to sensitive areas while ensuring comfort throughout the grooming process.
