Services
Doggie Daycare
Our Doggie Daycare offers supervised group play for dogs in secure indoor and outdoor spaces. Pets are grouped by size and temperament to ensure safety. Daily activities include toy play, splash pool access, and structured social interaction. This service promotes physical exercise and mental stimulation while reducing separation anxiety for boarding pets.
Pet Boarding
Luxury pet boarding with personalized care for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. Each suite includes climate control, plush bedding, and multiple daily potty breaks. Guests receive tailored activity plans, medication administration, and 24/7 staff monitoring. Daily veterinary check-ins ensure health and comfort throughout their stay.
Nature Walks
Quarter-mile guided walks through wooded trails provide low-stress exercise for pets. These one-on-one sessions with caregivers allow exploration of natural surroundings with wildlife viewing opportunities. Walks include themed 'picnic' options with pet-safe snacks, creating enriching outdoor experiences for all fitness levels.
Pool Sessions
Lazy River Pool sessions offer supervised water exercise in a controlled environment. Pets wear life preservers during 20-minute swim times designed for cooling off and low-impact exercise. Group sessions include social play, while private options allow focused attention for pets with specific needs or water-introduction goals.
Cuddle Time
10-15 minute one-on-one bonding sessions provide personalized attention and comfort. Certified caregivers deliver gentle petting, brushing, and verbal reassurance to reduce anxiety. This service is particularly beneficial for new guests adjusting to the environment or pets requiring extra emotional support during their stay.
