Common questions.

How much is dog boarding in Arlington?

In home boarding and overnight care is $120 per 24 hour period, or $100 for an overnight from 5pm to 9am. Holiday weekends are an extra $25, each additional pet is an extra $50, and we offer lower rates for longer stays.

Is this a kennel?

No. Your dog stays in a real home, either yours or ours, with a normal routine, walks, feeding and company. There are no cages or runs. It suits dogs who find kennels stressful.

Can you board puppies or senior dogs?

Yes. In home care is ideal for puppies, seniors and anxious dogs, because they get one to one attention and a familiar routine rather than a busy facility.

Will I get updates while I am away?

Yes, we send updates so you can see your dog is settled and happy while you travel.

Do you give medication to boarders?

Yes, we are happy to keep up any medication schedule. Please bring the medication and clear instructions.
