Join our CHDS family!
Start by watching the video tour
Start with the tour! We do not offer in person tours. Our current facility is not set up to allow clients inside. It causes our boarders to get anxiety. Our video shows you the inside of our facility as well as our play yards.

-
Just their food! We provide bedding, toys, blankets, stainless steel bowls for food/water, treats, etc. You can bring one blanket (no frays OR stitching on ends) & up to 2 toys but please limit belongings. We will not accept bones with holes or rawhides.
-
We accept intact puppies up to 12-18 months of age. Please note if your dog is not fixed they will only play with same sex dogs. We CAN NOT accept females in heat under any circumstance (makes everyone go crazy lol!)
-
We try our best to do updates every other day. For longer stays it could be every few days depending on the length of stay. If your dog is new we try our best to do more frequent updates. No news is good news! We will ALWAYS reach out via text if we have any issues or if we have any questions about your dog. Please be patient with us as we try to be with the dogs more than our phones :)

To make a long story short.. the Bordatella vaccine is a 12 month vaccine. It CAN be given UP TO every 6 months so we require it every 6 months here for the safety of your dogs. We will not make exceptions on this. We have had kennel cough 2 times. The first time we required the vaccine every 12 months and all but 2 dogs in the facility got sick, so about 92% of the dogs got sick. The 2nd time we had kennel cough we required the vaccine every 6 months and we would say about 30% of the dogs were infected. So we firmly believe that every 6 months is the way to go for high-traffic dog areas such as our facility. But rest assured, most of our clients are boarding only & do not attend other facilities :)
-
Dogs are welcome here as long as they have completed all of their puppy shots. We require new vaccines to be given at least 10 days prior to coming to ensure they are effective. So this can depend on what age your vet gives vaccines, but typically can be around 4 months of age, sometimes younger.
-
We go off of personality more than anything. Active/younger dogs will play in their pack while calm/littles play in their pack. Groups are typically between 4-8 dogs, but sometimes can be larger if we have a lot of calm dogs.
-
Our goal is to have them playing as much as possible. Our first potty time is between 6-6:30am (earlier if we have a full house). We end our work day around 5:30-6pm. We go back down for a bedtime potty & snuggle before bed around 8:30-9pm. Older dogs & puppies always go out first.
-
Absolutely! We feed them separately unless they graze together at home.
-
No - sorry! The largest kennels go to large dogs & siblings. In our many years of doing this we notice smaller dogs get anxiety if they have too big of a kennel.
-
We take all breeds EXCEPT brachycephalic dogs. We made this decision in February of 2024 when we started taking new clients again. We feel the best thing for them is a home sitter, or to stay at the vet due to the potential health risks of boarding at a facility. We have heard of too many accidents from owners of other facilities - mostly not being able to catch their breath while playing, or simply due to anxiety or over excitement. It just scares us so much. We hope you understand & we are so sorry!
ALL dogs must be under 40 pounds.
Current brachycephalic dogs (on the books before February of 2024) are grandfathered in.
