A: Yes. Your dog stays in our climate-controlled facility with comfortable bedding and plenty of space to relax. We provide quiet time between play sessions so dogs actually rest and recharge, not just stay wound up all day.
A: Boarding starts at $26 per night. If you're boarding multiple dogs from the same family in one kennel, additional dogs are $15 per night (maximum 3 dogs per kennel). Medication administration is $1 per dose if your dog requires it.
A: Absolutely. Dogs rotate through supervised outdoor play in our large fenced areas throughout the day. If group play isn't their thing, we provide one-on-one time and walks so every dog goes home happy and tired—even the shy or older ones.
A: Game-day weekends fill up fast. We recommend booking as soon as you know your travel dates—especially for home games at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The earlier you reserve, the better we can lock in your dog's spot and playtime schedule.
A: Yes. We stay in touch throughout your dog's stay and will call or text if anything seems off. You can reach a real person who knows your dog's day—not just an automated system. We want you to enjoy your trip knowing your dog is in good hands.
