​Enrollment Waitlist Now Open

After a 4-year pause in new enrollment, we're now accepting waitlist inquiries for a few young, social dogs who thrive in group care.

We’re a relationship-based program, and we only offer boarding to dogs who have an ongoing daycare connection with us. This helps each dog feel safe, familiar, and bonded with our team — especially when their people are away.

Kennel Visits: Enjoy a private visit with your dog...

You can peek into the corners, wander around our dog yards, do the sniff test, check out the demeanor of the residents and generally get a sense for if our place feels like a fit for your dog.We'll have an opportunity to get to know each other, answer questions and let your pet spend a little relaxed time familiarizing him/herself with the sounds and smells.


Join our Waitlist (above) to start the process

Meanwhile, enjoy the photos and videos below for a virtual tour!

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Alison and her staff provided exceptional care to not only my dog but also to me..." A. B.

"
The best. Alison and her staff are terrific. My dog, Rem, hadn't spent any time boarded before we got here and he loved it there. I don't know how the dogs are all so calm, but they are. I'm lucky this is near by me. " Betsy N.

"
We miss him, but we never worry about him when he's there. Wonderfully competent crew. Beautiful surroundings." Bruce K.
