How we shape each stay
No two dogs settle in the same way, so we don’t run every stay the same way. Here’s what you can count on.
Their routine, not ours
Your dog’s own food on their own feeding schedule, with individual potty breaks and outside time throughout the day.
Space to settle
A clean, secure, climate-controlled private suite with fresh water and comfortable bedding. Quiet time is part of a good stay, not a sign something’s wrong.
24-hour staff onsite
Someone is here around the clock, every night of the year.
Evaluated as individuals
Intact males and females, puppies, seniors and anxious dogs. We look at your dog’s behavior, not a checkbox. Females in heat board anytime, no extra charge. Intact dogs →
Medications, free
Oral meds, eye and ear drops and prescription diets, at no extra charge. We do not give injections.
Easy to reach me
Photo updates 3x a week on Standard, daily on VIP. Want to check in? Call or text. I answer the phone most of the time and I’m here almost every day. — Teresa, owner
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the fastest way to book?
Set up your account in our Owner’s Portal and schedule the stay right from there — it’s the quickest way, and it’s open 24/7. Complete your dog’s profile (vaccines, food and medication details) once, and every future booking takes about a minute. Prefer to talk it through? Call us at 469-409-3044.
How much does boarding cost?
Standard boarding is $55 per night, with 20% off each additional dog from the same family. VIP boarding is $89 per night and adds a daily daycare playgroup or private indoor dog park session, cuddle time, a bath, daily photos and a treat. Seniors and special-needs dogs stay at the standard $55 rate with free medication administration. A deposit holds your dog’s spot. It’s fully refundable if you cancel at least 48 hours before check-in time, or 7 days before check-in time for holiday stays.
What’s the difference between Standard and VIP?
Standard covers everything your dog needs: a private suite, their own food and feeding schedule, individual potty breaks and outside time, meds, and photos 3x a week. VIP adds the extras — a daycare playgroup or a private indoor dog park session every day, daily cuddle time, a bath before pickup, daily photos and a treat. If your dog loves to play or you love updates, VIP is the one.
Are there any extra fees?
No surprise fees. There’s a $10/night surcharge on major holidays, and that’s it — no exit-bath fee, no evaluation fee, no intact fee. Daycare, indoor dog park sessions, cuddle sessions ($15 each) and baths ($30) are optional add-ons you choose, not fees.
Do you charge holiday rates?
Yes — $10 more per night, and it’s the only added charge we have.
Holiday windows:
Memorial Day — Saturday through Monday
July 4th — July 2–6
Labor Day — Saturday through Monday
Thanksgiving — Wednesday through Sunday
Christmas — December 22–28
New Year’s — December 31–January 2
Easter — Thursday before through Easter Sunday
Everything else is an add-on you choose, never a surprise charge.
Do you accept intact dogs for boarding?
Yes. Intact males, females and puppies are all welcome — no extra charge and no neuter requirement. Females in heat can board anytime. They sit out daycare playgroups until 21 days from the start of their cycle, and get extra potty breaks, one-on-one staff time and private enrichment instead.
What should I bring for my dog’s stay?
Your dog’s food (pre-portioned if possible), any medications, and a comfort item like a favorite toy or blanket. We supply fresh water, bowls, bedding and all enrichment materials.
My dog gets anxious when I’m away. Will boarding work for them?
Space to settle, support to succeed. Nervous dogs get a quiet private suite, their own food and routine, and staff who go at your dog’s pace instead of pushing them into group play. Bring a comfort item from home, and tell us what helps your dog at home so we can keep it familiar. Want to talk it through first? Call or text 469-409-3044.
Do I need to tour before booking?
No. Tours are optional. Plenty of families book straight from the portal. If you’d like to see the suites and meet us first, schedule a tour — it takes about 20 minutes.
What does a day look like while boarding?
- Morning: potty break and breakfast
- Daytime: outside time and enrichment, plus a playgroup or private indoor dog park session for VIP guests
- Midday: rest and fresh water in their suite
- Afternoon: more outside time and individual attention
- Evening: dinner and one-on-one time
- Overnight: quiet rest in their private suite, with staff onsite
Do you give medications?
Yes — oral medications, eye and ear drops and prescription diets, at no extra charge. Add them to your dog’s food and medication section in the portal so we have the exact doses and times. We are not able to give injections.
What vaccines do you require?
Rabies, distemper and bordetella. You can upload records right in the portal.
Can I check in on my dog?
Yes. Standard guests get photo updates 3x a week and VIP guests get daily photos, and we post daily fun on our Facebook and Instagram. You’re always welcome to call and ask how they’re doing.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can for holidays and school breaks. For everything else, the portal will show you what works. If your dates are close, give us a call and we’ll sort it out.
What if I need to extend my dog’s stay?
Plans change. Flights get delayed and trips run long. Call or text us at 469-409-3044 as soon as you know, and we’ll update your dog’s stay. Extra nights are at the regular nightly rate (plus the $10 holiday rate if it applies). Your dog will stay safe and cared for, on their usual routine, until you’re able to pick them up.
Do you offer discounts or packages?
Yes. 20% off each additional dog from the same family, prepaid night packages (Explorer 20 nights at $48.75/night, Jetsetter 30 nights at $47.50/night), and seasonal offers on our Specials page.
