House of Dog: A Unique Boarding Experience
House of Dog is different from your average boarding facility. We are structured to meet your dog's needs while they stay with us. Just boarding is for dogs that are friendly with other dogs and people.
Our Staff
Our staff is highly skilled and knowledgeable in reading your dog's body language and assessing stress levels. We carefully pair your dog with a suitable playgroup or playmate. If your dog is very selective about who they play with, our staff will be patient and move at their pace, working with them one-on-one to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience.
-
You will receive pictures, videos, and write-ups daily from our staff.
-
We will immediately inform you if something is concerning or wrong with your dog.
-
If your dog needs medical attention, we will notify you first and ensure they get the necessary care.

We track your dog's potty habits to ensure they adjust and are not sick.

Puppies and Small Dogs

We now have a dedicated boarding space for puppies and small dogs at the Boarding and Behavior Center on Sunflower Road. This is a more intimate space and therefore much quieter and better suited for puppies (up to 5 or 6 months) and adult small dogs (up to 45 lbs) that play well with others. It has it's own ventilation system and separate outside yard.
