Overnight Boarding
Boarding
Give your dog a safe and stress-free vacation while you're away. We have staff on the premises 24/7 to care for your pet and top-of-the-line safety equipment including a sprinkler system and generator that is able to power the entire facility.
With spacious kennels, comfy Kuranda beds, and radiant heat in the floors, your dog is sure to enjoy their stay. Upgrade your dog's visit to Stay & Play and your dog will play and socialize with the dogs in our weekday doggy daycare. Learn more about Doggy Daycare.

Make a Reservation
The first time you board with us:
Fill out and sign the Boarding Application or complete it online.
Ask your veterinarian to email us the vaccination records for rabies, distemper, and bordetella (kennel cough). Your pet must be current on all three to stay with us. You may also have the records faxed to 603-686-8286.
Call us to reserve space.
Each time you board (after the first):
Fill out and sign the Health & Behavior Update or complete it online.
If your dog’s vaccinations have expired since your last visit, ask your veterinarian to email or fax (603-686-8286) us the updated records for rabies, distemper, and bordetella (kennel cough).
Call us to reserve space.
Please note that we are not equipped to care for dogs with certain medical conditions, including but not limited to seizure disorders, heart conditions, and diabetes. We recommend that you look into boarding at a veterinary facility for dogs with these conditions.
All boarding reservations must be held with a credit card. If you cancel your reservation within 48 hours of check-in, you will be charged 50% of the entire planned stay. Your card will not be charged until you check in.
You do not have to complete the application after your first time, although you may need to update your dog's vaccination records.
