Family Style Care 

At Small Dog Boarding all our overnight guest dogs are treated like extended family receiving the same love, consideration, care, and affection as our own, plus 24/7 access to our cozy country home and 3 fully fenced, private dog parks! ​

Regardless of the complexity of your dogs diet it will eat as it does at home without additional charges. Although there may be some health issues beyond our skill set, those we can attend to are undertaken without additional fees.

Small Dog Boarding Criteria 

We strive to accept only dogs that are well socialized, neutered/spayed, house trained and recently groomed.

If your dog is an "escape artist," struggles with excessive separation anxiety, or is a chronic barker we may not be able to accept them into our care.

How Do We Define "Small Dog"

Our goal is to keep our guests weight under 20 pounds, but we are open to considering dogs up to 30 pounds. All decisions are determined following our pre-stay assessment and consultation with the owner(s).

Pre-Stay Assessment Process

Step 1:  Book a time to come by for you and your dog(s) to join us on an on site "walkabout" during which your pet(s) get to sniff and lay down some scent while we get to know a bit about each other. 

Step 2:  Arrange an appointment to drop your dog off for a free half-day visit. During this time your dog(s) will spend time one on one with us and with each dog on site.  If deemed appropriate, they can then join in on group play and rest times. 

Step 3:  Assuming all goes well, your dog(s) are welcome to stay with us anytime, space permitting.
