We are excited to welcome you to DogServices.
Boarding Policies
Reservations are required for all boarders. A $45 cancellation fee will apply if a reservation is cancelled less than 24 hours prior to your dog’s scheduled arrival date. Bordetella, DHLPPC, Canine Influenza and Rabies vaccinations are mandatory at least 5 days before your reservation. Proof of these shots is required, and your vet will be happy to fax us a copy at your request. Click here to read our policy on vaccine waiting periods. In order to keep meals consistent with home, you are required to bring food for your dog. Individual packaging is greatly appreciated. If you’re new to DogServices, we require your dog spend a free orientation day with us before boarding for the first time. They will make some new canine friends while sniffing out our staff. This important visit allows us to assess your dog’s personality, behavior, and social profile to provide the best care and playgroup while she stays with us.
The Comforts of Home
- Play spaces, both indoors and out.
- Camera security, round the clock.
- Beds and blankets provided, no extra charge.
- Stainless steel food and water bowls, provided.

Dog Boarding and
Daycare Extras
While your dog’s in our care, we freely dole out head-scratches, good-dog pats, and tummy rubs. But may we also recommend a daily Tender Loving Care (TLC) session? Each session gives your dog 15 minutes of one-on-one time with a caring staff member. It’s just the kind of focused, personal attention your dog would get at home. We offer baths, power rinses, and grooming services including nail-clipping, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. We’ll write-up a report card for dogs receiving TLC or grooming services, as well as for our first-day dogs. It’s our way of keeping our clients and care-providers connected–and our dogs happy.

Cat Boarding too!
We welcome cats at our Little DogServices facility near Willow Lawn. In fact, this location is sometimes referred to as CatServices or Little Dog and Cat Services! Don’t worry, our feline guests are kept in a separate area away from our canine guests. Our cat condos are over six feet tall giving cats multiple play levels and comfortably accommodating two family cats staying together. If you need more information and advice on cat boarding in general, check out our article on cat boarding.
