Both of our dogs can't wait get into the building when we get there for daycare or boarding!
Fred the world's happiest dog, loves this place and the people who work here. Most of the time, he wants to stay, instead of going home. The staff,takes care of all dogs, superbly.
Wow! This is where the party is if you've got a big dog! Talk about fun and great energy . . . All the dogs run up to each other to greet the new 'kid' that's arriving during daycare hours.

Wow! This is where the party is if you've got a big dog! Talk about fun and great energy . . . All the dogs run up to each other to greet the new 'kid' that's arriving during daycare hours. There are dog cots all around the room, so the dogs can rest any time they want. Unfortunately, I don't have a big dog. We used Barks & Rec for an overnight boarding. I love how they match up your dog with a human counterpart to bond and connect during their stay. Also, for maximum exercise and interaction, the boarders can play with the daycare dogs (of their same size) if you approve. Barks & Rec have an online registration that's fairly easy to use. The boarding options weren't totally clear though. Luckily, they responded quickly once I left a message. I recommend B&R for daycare or boarding. They've got easy access and plenty of parking off Highway 93.

We brought our dog here for the first time while we were on vacation. During our vacation our dog got sick and they took care of him like he was their own. Jen brought our dog to the vet and stayed with him while they were diagnosing what was wrong. She then went back the next day and picked him up and cared for him until we were able to return. I would not hestate having them take care of any dog.
