Fun and Safe Boarding for your Dog

Canine Suites  We have a couple new exclusive boarding option at Animal Resorts.  Slumber Party Sleepover is for select obedient pets, where your pet stays in our house, with our pets (2 CGC dogs, 2 cats), and our family (4 certified dog trainers and 2 young children).  Who knows your dog may learn a thing or two as well. 

The other option is our In Home Luxury Suite in our recently remodeled 7,500 square foot historic home. The Luxury Suite is a spacious 5’x22’ with radiant in floor heat and drains, a led TV playing animal programming, and real mattresses for bedding.  Both options include their own private ½ acre grass fenced area overlooking horses, goats, and chickens with streams and woods for a backdrop.  A real loving family with kids and other pets to play with is the most important feature to me.

Each one of our suites consists of personal indoor space and outdoor space separated by a sliding translucent door.  The indoor area is heated, air conditioned, and sun lit for rest and relaxation for your pets comfort and health.  An adjoining private outdoor patio provides for fresh air, exercise and sun bathing. 

Daycare, Play Pal and Playtime areas feature natural grass which is beneficial for pets’ paws, pads and overall orthopedic health.  Although a little dirt and mud can be expected grass is far more sanitary than the alternatives.  These areas are all shaded with gorgeous mature trees and kiddy pools to give pets a place to relax and cool down during the dog days of summer.  Swims in the pond or dips in the creek are also available by request.

We also accommodate for the very young and the very old to stay in our home where it can be more suited for their special needs. All pet accommodation areas are heated and include central air conditioning with air exchange system to provide fresh ventilation.  These areas are protected by an ADT security system with video surveillance, fire smoke and heat alarms, and carbon monoxide detection.  We have over 3 dozen cameras viewing and recording everything on the resort.

Health and Welfare  Boarding your dog is the best alternative for care of your pet in your absence. The selection of this temporary home is an important decision. Animal Resorts strives to provide your companion, at any stage of life, an environment that greatly exceeds basic necessities. You can board your pet for just a day or for a month or more. We offer discounts for multiple dogs, and for multiple cats sharing the same accommodations. At Animal Resorts, we are always here when you need us!

Your pet’s well-being is our #1 priority. Our facility provides for a clean, fresh air environment, and lots of attention and activity, essential to your dog's good health.  Our staff will be interacting with your pet throughout the day, talking, petting, feeding, cleaning and walking (dogs), grooming or playing. Optional play sessions provide even more attention.

Animal Resorts features large outdoor runs in our shaded park land country setting. When they are not enjoying the fresh air and warm sunshine, our guests relax in their comfortable indoor heated or air conditioned privacy area.

Playtimes are taken seriously at Animal Resorts.  We are the originators of special services like Play Pals, Daycare, Hikes, Massages. We feature over an acre in fenced playground facilities for group play and individual play sessions.  We have 20 acres of naturally secluded park land and water for our nature walks, hiking sessions and swims.  Swimming sessions are offered on those days where your dog would just like to cool off and have a fun-splash in our creek and/or pond.  Smaller baby wading pools are available for the smaller dogs.  While boarding you want to feel that your dog is safe, secure, and happy and so do we. 

So check out some of the cool stuff we do to make this the best experience possible for you and your pet.

  • Playtime, a fun activity where pets enjoy playing ball running about, belly rubs and as always lots of attention.
  • Play Pals, make new friends while burning off excess energy.
  • Hike - Swim,  beautiful nature trails will take your pet around 20 acres including a dip in the creek and/or pond will cool off any dog (baby pools included with playtime).

Canine Special Care
: We know from experience that boarding is a little harder on the seniors of the pet world , convalescing pets and first time boarders of any age. For pets on several medications, or with certain health conditions, or behavior problems this may be mandatory. Therefore we have made special provisions for their needs.  Note: Pets that require special care or special handling will be charged an additional fee, commensurate with the type of care required. This care may be considered mandatory for boarding. 

Canine Special Handling:   Some dogs require special handling of some kind during boarding or grooming. If we find this out after accepting the pet for boarding you will most likely be charged a special handling fee. 

Examples of Special Handling:

  • The older dog that cannot be picked up or carried or must wear a harness to be walked.

  • The timid or shy dog that requires a calm, slow hand in order to become familiar with kennel routines.

  • The ‘fear-biter’, similar to above, but bites.

  • A territorial dog that won’t allow admittance to his/her room

  • A dog that requires a second handler in order to have grooming procedures done.

    Important! Aggressive, difficult to handle dogs, may not be accepted for boarding, if you have concerns, please discuss this prior to making your reservation.
