Whether for the day or a few days, we would love to take care of your pet! We board dogs, cats, and even horses. The kennels are heated and air-conditioned; you can choose a run or a cage; whichever your pet would be more comfortable in. We use Hill’s Science Diet food or you can bring your own. If your pet’s stay is extended, and adequate staffing is available, your pet will receive a complimentary bath before going home. Our full-time kennel help does a wonderful job taking care of your pet.
