Dog Boarding

DogServices welcomes dogs for sleepovers by reservation. Our buildings are staffed round-the-clock so your dog is never, ever left alone. Sure, you can call us a kennel, but we’re not your typical, boring old dog kennel. Think of us as a community play center for dogs! We provide an indoor/outdoor play facility with plenty of space for both group exercise and quiet time when needed. One of our friendly animal coaches will spend time with your dog to get to know him/her, and pair them up with a small group of other dogs for playtime based on a variety of factors including personality, size, and temperament. We provide loving attention and, just like home, your dog eats his own food, on his own schedule. We’ll even give medication for no extra charge.

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 and Rabies vaccinations are mandatory as well as no vet visits 5 or less 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.
  • Separate accommodations for little dogs at 4916 West Marshall St. (just blocks from our Thalbro St. location.)
  • Camera security, round the clock.
  • Beds and blankets provided, no extra charge.
  • Stainless steel food and water bowls, provided.
  • Food and feeding schedule remains consistent with home.
  • Medications administered at no extra charge.

Dog Boarding and Daycare Extras

While your dog’s in our care, we freely dole out head-scratches, good-boy 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.

Getting Started, Dog Boarding and Daycare

As we mentioned above, new dogs are required to spend a free orientation day with us before boarding for the first time. Your dog 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. As soon as you book travel dates, please call to plan your orientation day and reserve your dog’s stay at DogServices  reservation’s online. We’ll also need you to complete a new-client questionnaire on our site.

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.
