We have both spacious cages and indoor runs in our kennel. We do not leash walk our guests. Instead, they are taken out to a fenced-in play area three times daily to exercise. We also offer One on one attention boarding, which entitles your pet to a human companion that interacts with your pet while in the play yard. We invite you to come by and tour our boarding facilities. You are guaranteed to be impressed. Animals must be current on the following vaccines: Distemper-Parvo and Leptospirosis, Kennel Cough (bi-annually), Rabies and intestinal parasite screen (bi-annually). If your pet has fleas upon arrival for boarding they will be given a product to kill the fleas.
