More about our incredible Canine SleepOver Service

Our Canine SleepOver Service (aka, Boarding) is designed around a semi-cage free environment where dogs are allowed to freely socialize with other balanced, well-behaved dogs in over 15,000 square feet of 6′ high galvanized fencing broken up into over 10 separate, safe & secure social play and training areas.

When the dogs are not out for supervised play, exercise or training, they are comfortably housed in individual ortho-pad-lined runs or crates in a strictly climate-controlled room, where the temperatures are maintained between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit while the humidity is kept at 45-60%. 

During their daily scheduled “down-time”, we go lights out and the dogs get to chill and relax with classical music while the air is scented with calming safe, essential oil diffusers.  We also have 16 state-of-the-art wi-fi security cameras so we can observe any dog at any time.

Q. Why put your dog in a traditional kennel where he or she will spend their entire stay pacing back and forth in a concrete and steel dog run?

A. Well, thankfully, you don’t have to anymore!

Now you can choose to have your best friend enjoy first-class canine social interactions with our experienced, well-balanced, and diverse Pack of rescue dogs led by our team of expert PackLeaders, in a safe & secure environment!

Our staff to dog ratio during OUT Sessions is never more than 1 to 5 (or 1:5).  In my experience, allowing for more than 5 dogs with 1 Trainer is inviting the potential for something potentially unsafe to happen.   

Safety is always our top priority!

One stay here is all it will take for your dog to ask…”can I please go back to play with the Pack?”!
