Daycare

The Board Hound was established to help owners find a positive outlet for their furry friend's energy and to provide a positive, loving environment for canines to socialize and interact in a group environment. Your dog will spend the day running and playing off leash with plenty of furry (and non-furry) friends.

Daycare has become a valuable alternative for many responsible pet owners. Most owners love their dog as a member of the family and want only the best for their pet. As we humans pursue our busy lives, our furry family members spend an average of 8-10 hours a day at home alone. Our stay-at-home pups can wait all day for someone to come home and play with them. These dogs often do not get the affection and exercise that they need and deserve. The lack of adequate stimulation caused by prolonged periods of time alone leads to the development of many common behavioral problems like barking, chewing, separation anxiety, and over excitement at times. Daycare provides all the mental and physical stimulation dogs need on a daily basis.

Boarding

The Board Hound is a luxury pet care facility designed especially for your pet's safety and comfort. For an overnight stay, your dog will have a private suite that is cozy, clean and climate-controlled. Each dog will enjoy a spacious environment of their own that includes their favorite things. We suggest the owner brings their dog's own bedding and food to make them feel at home.

Dogs who join us for overnight boarding are automatically enrolled in Daycare during the day. After a day of cage-free fun in both our indoor and our outdoor RoofTop PlayTM areas, they'll be ready to curl up in their suite for the night. Any special toys, or treats, and bedding will be arranged in the suite each night and will be cleaned daily. Our goal is to make the pets extremely comfortable by adding homey touches wherever possible. We limit the time spent in the suites to just feeding, digesting and much needed downtime. At night we ensure total relaxation with soothing music to lull our guests to sleep.

No matter where or when you choose to vacation, it's always hard to relax when you're worrying about the happiness and care of your pup. So when you leave town, send your dog on a vacation of his or her own with us.
